(11 Nm). 2. Install the connector on the sensor. There is no polarity: the connector cannot be accidentally reversed. 3. Connect the negative battery cable. 4. Inspect for leaks. 5. Install the engine cover. Back to Top Engine Electrical Dakota, 2001-2005 Alternator Diagnosis & Testing Print NOTE Before testing, make sure all connections and mounting bolts are clean and tight. Many charging system problems are related to loose and corroded terminals or bad grounds. Don-t overlook the engine ground connection to the body. On some vehicles, it is beneficial to add an additional ground between the engine and the chassis. This may solve many intermittent problems. NOTE Alternators must be replaced if defective in any way. No internal service is possible. Alternator Isolation Test On some models, it is possible to isolate the alternator from the regulator by grounding the field terminal. Grounding the field terminal removes the EVR from the circuit and forces full alternator output. This may help determine whether the problem is the alternator or EVR. NOTE Most alternators have two field terminals, one positive and one negative. With the engine running, the positive terminal will have battery voltage present and the negative terminal will have 3-5 volts less. Use a voltmeter to identify the negative terminal before carrying out the following test. WARNING Do not let the voltage get higher than 18 volts. Damage to electrical circuits may occur. 1. Connect a voltmeter across the battery terminals so the voltage can be monitored. 2. Start the engine and let it reach normal operating temperature. 3. Connect a jumper lead to a good ground. 4. Locate the field terminal (negative) on the back of the alternator. 5. Momentarily connect the grounded jumper to the field terminal. If the alternator is okay, the voltage will climb rapidly. Disconnect the jumper before the output reaches 18 volts. If the voltage does not rise, replace the alternator. If the voltage rises, the regulator circuits are bad. Voltage Drop Test NOTE Before proceeding, make sure the battery is in good condition and fully charged. Perform a voltage drop test of the positive side of the circuit as follows: 1. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature. 2. Turn the headlamps, heater blower motor and interior lights ON. 3. Bring the engine to about 2,500 rpm and hold it there. 4. Connect the negative voltmeter lead directly to the battery positive terminal. 5. Touch the positive voltmeter lead directly to the alternator B+ output stud, not the nut. The meter should read no higher than about 0.5 volts. If it does, there is higher than normal resistance between the positive side of the battery and the B+ output at the alternator. 6. Move the positive meter lead to the nut and see if the voltage reading drops substantially. If it does, there is resistance between the stud and the nut. The theory is to keep moving closer to the battery terminal, one connection at a time, in order to find the area of high resistance (bad connection). Perform a voltage drop test of the negative side of the circuit as follows: 1. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature. 2. Turn the headlamps, heater blower motor and interior lights ON. 3. Bring the engine to about 2,500 rpm and hold it there. 4. Connect the negative voltmeter lead directly to the negative battery terminal. 5. Touch the positive voltmeter lead directly to the alternator case or ground connection. The meter should read no higher than about 0.3 volts. If it does, there is higher than normal resistance between the battery ground terminal and the alternator ground. 6. Move the positive meter lead to the alternator mounting bracket. If the voltage reading drops substantially, you know that there is a bad electrical connection between the alternator and mounting bracket. The theory is to keep moving closer to the battery terminal, one connection at a time, in order to find the area of high resistance (bad connection). Precautions To prevent damage to the on-board computer, alternator and regulator, the following precautionary measures must be taken when working with the electrical system. Wear safety glasses when working on or near the battery. Don-t wear a watch with a metal band when servicing the battery. Serious burns can result if the band completes the circuit between the positive battery terminal and ground. When installing a battery, make sure that the positive and negative cables are not reversed. Be absolutely sure of the polarity of a booster battery before making connections. Connect the cables positive to positive, and negative to negative. Connect positive cables first and then make the last connection to ground on the body of the booster vehicle, so that arcing cannot ignite hydrogen gas that may have accumulated near the battery. Even momentary connection of a booster battery with the polarity reversed will destroy the alternator. Disconnect both battery cables -negative first-before attempting to charge a battery. Never ground the alternator output cable. Be cautious when using metal tools around a battery to avoid creating a short circuit between the terminals. Never ground the field circuit between the alternator and regulator. Never attempt to polarize an alternator. Never operate the alternator with the battery disconnected. Do not short across or ground any alternator terminals. Do not apply full battery voltage to the field connector(s). Always disconnect the battery ground cable before disconnecting the alternator lead. Never subject the alternator to excessive heat or dampness. If you are steam cleaning the engine, cover the alternator. If arc welding is to be done on the car, disconnect the battery and alternator. Disconnect the wiring from the engine controller (PCM). This consists of 14-and 60-pin connectors on most models. Removal & Installation 2.5L, 3.9L & 5.9L Engines 1. Before servicing the vehicle, please familiarize yourself with safety procedures. 2.

Install or connect the following: Alternator harness connectors Accessory drive belt Negative battery cable Back to Top Dakota, 2001-2005 Description & Operation The charging system incorporates the following major components: Alternator Alternator drive belt Electronic Voltage Regulator (EVR) circuitry in the PCM Battery Battery temperature sensor Ignition switch Print "Check Gauges" lamp Voltmeter (if fitted) Wiring harness and connections The charging system is basically a series circuit with the battery wired in parallel. After the engine is started and running, the alternator takes over as the source of power and the battery then becomes part of the load on the charging system. The alternator, which is driven by the belt, consists of a rotating coil of laminated wire called the rotor. Surrounding the rotor are more coils of laminated wire that remain stationary just inside the alternator case, the stator. When current is passed through the rotor via the slip rings and brushes, the rotor becomes a rotating magnet with, of course, a magnetic field. When a magnetic field passes through a conductor (the stator), alternating current (A/C) is generated. This A/C current is rectified, or turned into direct current (D/C), by the diodes located within the alternator. The voltage regulator circuitry controls the alternator-s field voltage by grounding one end of the field windings very rapidly. The frequency varies according to current demand. The more the field is grounded, the more voltage and current the alternator produces. Voltage regulation on these vehicles is located in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Voltage is maintained at about 13.5-15 volts. During high engine speeds and low current demands, the regulator will adjust the voltage of the alternator field to lower the alternator output voltage. Conversely, when the vehicle is idling and the current demands may be high, the regulator will increase the field voltage, increasing the output of the alternator designed to reduce fuel consumption and increase power. A major factor in determining alternator output is the battery temperature sensor whose input to the PCM is used to adjust field voltage. The charging system is turned on and off with the ignition switch. The system is on when the engine is running and the ASD relay is energized. When the ASD relay is on, the PCM supplies voltage to the alternator field coil. The amount of current produced by the alternator is controlled by the EVR field control circuitry in the PCM. A battery temperature sensor, located in the battery tray housing, monitors battery condition. This information, along with data from monitored line voltage, is used by the PCM to vary charging rate. Fig. Back of typical alternator illustrating wiring Fig. Another style of alternator wiring Back to Top Dakota, 2001-2005 Troubleshooting System Testing Print The charging system should be inspected if: A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is set relating to the charging system The charging system warning light (if equipped) is illuminated when the engine is running The "Check Gauges" lamp (if equipped) is illuminated when the engine is running The dashboard voltmeter (if equipped) indicates improper charging (either high or low) The battery is overcharged (electrolyte level is low and/or boiling out) The battery is undercharged (insufficient power to crank the starter) The starting point for all charging system problems begins with the inspection of the battery, related wiring and the alternator drive belt. The battery must be in good condition and fully charged before system testing. If a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is set, diagnose and repair the cause of the trouble code first. If equipped, the charging system warning light will illuminate if the charging voltage is either too high or too low. The warning light should illuminate when the key is turned to the ON position as a bulb check. When the alternator starts producing voltage due to the engine starting, the light should go out. A good sign of overly high voltage is lights that burn out and/or burn very brightly. Overcharging can also cause damage to the battery and electronic circuits. Drive belts are often overlooked when diagnosing a charging system failure. Check the belt tension, check travel limit marks on the tensioner, if fitted. Check belt condition and replace the belt if needed. A loose belt will result in an undercharged battery and a no-start condition. This is especially true in wet weather conditions when moisture causes the belt to become more slippery. If the vehicle is equipped with a voltmeter, this can sometimes give a clue to belt problems. If the indicated voltage stays low after starting, especially in wet weather, it may indicate that the belt is too loose. Other indications are indicated voltage fluctuations when loads are added or removed from the system as when turning on the air conditioner. Back to Top Dakota, 2001-2005 Voltage Regulator The Electronic Voltage Regulator (EVR) is a circuit within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It cannot be service separately. If EVR problems arise, the entire PCM must be replaced. Print Back to Top Engine Mechanical Dakota, 2001-2005 Accessory Drive Belts Adjustment Print Correct drive belt tension is required to ensure optimum performance of the belt driven engine accessories. Use the correct gauge when checking belt tension; there are different types of adjustment gauges for checking either a serpentine or a V-type belt. Refer to the instructions supplied with the gauge. Place gauge in the middle of the section of belt being tested (between two pulleys) to check tension. Do not allow the gauge (or gauge adapter) to contact anything but the belt. NOTE It is not necessary to adjust belt tension on the 3.7L. 3.9L or 5.9L engines. These engines are equipped with an automatic belt tensioner. The tensioner maintains correct belt tension at all times. 2.5L Engines Belt tension is adjusted at the power steering pump bracket and idler pulley assembly. 1. Disconnect negative battery cable from battery. 2. Loosen idler pulley bolt. 3. Loosen tension adjusting bolt. 4. Adjust tension adjusting bolt until reading is within specification. 5. Tighten idler pulley bolt and re-check belt tension. Adjust if necessary. Fig. Tension adjusting bolt (1) Idler pulley bolt (2) Belt (3) Belt Tension Inspection Inspect the drive belt for signs of glazing or cracking. A glazed belt will be perfectly smooth from slippage, while a good belt will have a slight texture of fabric visible. Cracks will usually start at the inner edge of the belt and run outward. All worn or damaged drive belts should be replaced immediately. Drive Belt Routings NOTE The belt routing schematics are published from the latest information available at the time of publication. If anything differs between these schematics and the Belt Routing Label, use the schematics on Belt Routing Label. This label is located in the engine compartment, usually on the fan shroud. Fig. Accessory drive belt routing-2.5L engines with A/C Fig. Accessory drive belt routing-2.5L engines without A/C Fig. Accessory drive belt routing-3.7L and 4.7L engines Removal & Installation 2.5L Engine 1.

Install new belt. Route the belt around all pulleys except the idler pulley. Rotate the tensioner arm until it contacts its stop position. Route the belt around the idler and slowly let the tensioner rotate into the belt. Make sure the belt is seated onto all pulleys. 2. With the drive belt installed, inspect the belt wear indicator. 3. On 4.7L Engines only, the gap between the tang and the housing stop (measurement A) must not exceed 24 mm (0.94 inches). If the measurement exceeds this specification replace the serpentine accessory drive belt. Fig. Automatic belt tensioner-Typical Fig. Wear Indicator-Measurement -A- must not exceed 25mm (0.94 inches) Back to Top Dakota, 2001-2005 Camshaft, Bearings & Lifters Bearing Replacement Print 2.5L Engine The camshaft rotates within four steel-shelled, babbitt-lined bearings that are pressed into the cylinder block and then line reamed. The camshaft bearing bores and bearing diameters are not the same size. They are stepped down in 0.254 mm (0.010 inch) increments from the front bearing (largest) to the rear bearing (smallest). This permits easier removal and installation of the camshaft. The camshaft bearings are pressure lubricated. NOTE It is not advisable to attempt to replace camshaft bearings unless special removal and installation tools are available. NOTE This procedure must be done with the engine removed and completely disassembled. 1. Remove the camshaft. 2. Using a special removal/installation tool, remove the camshaft bearings. To install: 1. Inspect the camshaft bearing journals for uneven wear pattern or finish. 2. Inspect the camshaft lobes and distributor gear for wear. 3. Inspect the camshaft thrust plate for wear. If the plate shows excessive wear inspect the camshaft oil pressure relief holes in the rear cam journal. The relief holes must be clean and free of debris. WARNING Make sure outside diameter of number 1 bearing is clean. Make sure that the bearing is properly installed in the engine block, align the oil hole in the bearing with the oil gallery in the bearing bore. Failure to do so will cause inadequate oil supply for the sprockets and timing chain. 4. Using a special removal/installation tool, install new camshaft bearings. 5. Lubricate the camshaft with clean engine oil. 6.

Back to Top Dakota, 2001-2005 Flywheel or Flexplate & Ring Gear Removal & Installation Print NOTE Flexplate is the term for a flywheel mated with an automatic transmission. The flywheel serves as the forward clutch engagement surface. It also serves as the ring gear with which the starter pinion engages to crank the engine. The most common reasons to replace the flywheel are: Broken teeth on the flywheel ring gear Excessive driveline chatter when engaging the clutch Excessive wear, scoring or cracking of the clutch surface 3.9L & 5.9L Engines NOTE The ring gear is replaceable only on engines mated with a manual transmission, or automatic transmissions with a non lock-up torque converter. On engines with an automatic transmission and lock-up torque converter, the ring gear is not replaceable, so you must replace the torque converter assembly. 1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 2. Raise and support the vehicle. 3. Remove the transmission. 4. If your vehicle has a manual transmission: A. Remove the clutch assembly. NOTE The bolts should be loosened a little at a time in a crisscross pattern to avoid warping the pressure plate. B. Remove the flywheel bolts. NOTE The flywheel bolts should be loosened a little at a time in a crisscross pattern to avoid warping the flywheel. C. Replace the pilot bearing in the end of the crankshaft after removing the flywheel. D. The flywheel should be checked for cracks and glazing. It can be resurfaced by a machine shop. 5. If the ring gear is to be replaced, drill a hole in the gear between two teeth, being careful not to contact the flywheel surface. Using a cold chisel at this point, crack the ring gear and remove it. Polish the inner surface of the new ring gear and heat it in an oven to about 600°F (316°C). Quickly place the ring gear on the flywheel and tap it into place, making sure that it is fully seated. WARNING Never heat the ring gear past 800°F (426°C), or the tempering will be destroyed. 6. If your vehicle has an automatic transmission: A. Remove the torque converter from the transmission. This is done by removing the c-clamp from the edge of the bell-housing, and carefully sliding the torque converter off of the input shaft of the transmission. CAUTION The torque converter is usually rather heavy, be prepared for the weight when the converter comes off of the input shaft. B. The converter is mated to the engine by a drive plate. To unbolt it, remove the retaining bolts from the crankshaft. Fig. The drive plate and torque converter are marked for reassembly Fig. Removing the starter ring gear with a cold chisel To install: 1.

Start the engine and check operation. Check for leaks. Testing The oil pressure sensor is threaded into the engine block (see location illustrations). Low oil pressure (less than 10 psi) will close the switch, creating a circuit that includes the warning light. The light will go on when the switch is closed. Disconnect the harness wire(s) from the sensor. Connect a jumper wire from the harness wire to ground on the engine (if single wire) or across the two harness wires. Turn the ignition switch ON . The low oil pressure warning light should go ON. Disconnect the jumper. The light should go OFF. If the lamp does not light when the circuit is completed, suspect a burned out bulb or wiring problem. With the engine OFF and oil pressure "zero", check for continuity across the switch body. On single-terminal switches, check continuity between the switch terminal and ground on the switch body or engine block. On two-terminal switches, check for continuity between the two terminals. In either case, there should be continuity. If not, replace the switch. Fig. Oil pressure sensor location near distributor-3.9L, 5.9L (gas engine) Fig. Oil pressure sensor location-3.7L, 4.7L engine Back to Top Dakota, 2001-2005 Oil Pump Removal & Installation Print 3.7L Engine 1.

Back to Top Dakota, 2001-2005 Precautions Before servicing any vehicle, please be sure to read all of the following precautions, which deal with personal safety, prevention of component damage, and important points to take into consideration when servicing a motor vehicle: Print Never open, service or drain the radiator or cooling system when the engine is hot; serious burns can occur from the steam and hot coolant. Observe all applicable safety precautions when working around fuel. Whenever servicing the fuel system, always work in a well-ventilated area. Do not allow fuel spray or vapors to come in contact with a spark, open flame, or excessive heat (a hot drop light, for example). Keep a dry chemical fire extinguisher near the work area. Always keep fuel in a container specifically designed for fuel storage; also, always properly seal fuel containers to avoid the possibility of fire or explosion. Refer to the additional fuel system precautions later in this section. Fuel injection systems often remain pressurized, even after the engine has been turned OFF . The fuel system pressure must be relieved before disconnecting any fuel lines. Failure to do so may result in fire and/or personal injury. Brake fluid often contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with the eyes and wash your hands thoroughly after handling brake fluid. If you do get brake fluid in your eyes, flush your eyes with clean, running water for 15 minutes. If eye irritation persists, or if you have taken brake fluid internally, IMMEDIATELY seek medical assistance. The EPA warns that prolonged contact with used engine oil may cause a number of skin disorders, including cancer. You should make every effort to minimize your exposure to used engine oil. Protective gloves should be worn when changing oil. Wash your hands and any other exposed skin areas as soon as possible after exposure to used engine oil. Soap and water, or waterless hand cleaner should be used. All new vehicles are now equipped with an air bag system, often referred to as a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) or Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system. The system must be disabled before performing service on or around system components, steering column, instrument panel components, wiring and sensors. Failure to follow safety and disabling procedures could result in accidental air bag deployment, possible personal injury and unnecessary system repairs. Always wear safety goggles when working with, or around, the air bag system. When carrying a non-deployed air bag, be sure the bag and trim cover are pointed away from your body. When placing a non-deployed air bag on a work surface, always face the bag and trim cover upward, away from the surface. This will reduce the motion of the module if it is accidentally deployed. Refer to the additional air bag system precautions later in this section. Clean, high quality brake fluid from a sealed container is essential to the safe and proper operation of the brake system. You should always buy the correct type of brake fluid for your vehicle. If the brake fluid becomes contaminated, completely flush the system with new fluid. Never reuse any brake fluid. Any brake fluid that is removed from the system should be discarded. Also, do not allow any brake fluid to come in contact with a painted surface; it will damage the paint. Never operate the engine without the proper amount and type of engine oil; doing so WILL result in severe engine damage. Timing belt maintenance is extremely important. Many models utilize an interference-type, non-freewheeling engine. If the timing belt breaks, the valves in the cylinder head may strike the pistons, causing potentially serious (also time-consuming and expensive) engine damage. Refer to the maintenance interval charts for the recommended replacement interval for the timing belt, and to the timing belt section for belt replacement and inspection. Disconnecting the negative battery cable on some vehicles may interfere with the functions of the on-board computer system(s) and may require the computer to undergo a relearning process once the negative battery cable is reconnected. When servicing drum brakes, only disassemble and assemble one side at a time, leaving the remaining side intact for reference. Only an MVAC-trained, EPA-certified automotive technician should service the air conditioning system or its components.

Print Back to Top Engine Performance & Emission Controls Dakota, 2001-2005 Component Locations The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is located on or near the thermostat housing (2.5L, 3.9L and 5.9L engines), or near the front of the intake manifold (3.7L, 4.7L engines). Print The ECT sensor's resistance changes in response to engine coolant temperature. The sensor resistance decreases as the coolant temperature increases, and vice-versa. This provides a reference signal to the PCM, which indicates engine coolant temperature. The signal sent to the PCM by the ECT sensor helps the PCM to determine spark advance, EGR flow rate, and air/fuel ratio. Some vehicles may have two ECTs fitted: one for input to the PCM and the other for input to the coolant temperature gauge or warning light. Fig. ECT sensor location-2.5L engine.

Back to Top Fuel System Dakota, 2001-2005 Removal & Installation These engines are equipped with a fuel filter/pressure regulator. This unit is not a regularly maintained unit and is serviced only when a DTC indicates a fault. Print Back to Top Chassis Electrical Dakota, 2001-2005 Arming The System Assuming that the system components (air bag control module, sensors, air bag, etc.) are installed correctly and are in good working order, the system is armed whenever the battery-s positive and negative battery cables are connected. Print WARNING If you have disarmed the air bag system for any reason, and are re-arming the system, make sure no one is in the vehicle (as an added safety measure), then connect the negative battery cable. Back to Top Dakota, 2001-2005 Clockspring (Coil) Centering Print Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable before beginning any airbag system component diagnosis, testing, removal, or installation procedures. Allow system capacitor to discharge for two minutes before beginning any component service. This will disable the airbag system. Failure to disable the airbag system may result in accidental airbag deployment, personal injury, or death. The clockspring is mounted on the steering column behind the steering wheel. Its purpose is to maintain a continuous electrical circuit between the wiring harness and the driver's side air bag module. This assembly consists of a flat, ribbon-like electrically conductive tape that winds and unwinds with the steering wheel rotation. Service replacement clocksprings are shipped pre-centered and with a molded plastic locking pin that snaps into a receptacle on the rotor and is engaged between two tabs on the upper surface of the rotor case. The locking pin secures the centered clockspring rotor to the clockspring case during shipment, but the locking pin must be removed from the clockspring after it is installed on the steering column. This locking pin should not be removed until the clockspring has been installed on the steering column. If the locking pin is removed before the clockspring is installed on a steering column, the clockspring centering procedure must be performed. NOTE The clockspring cannot be repaired. If the clockspring is faulty, damaged, or if the driver airbag has been deployed, the clockspring must be replaced. NOTE Before starting this procedure, be certain to turn the steering wheel until the front wheels are in the straight-ahead position. 1. Place the front wheels in the straight-ahead position. 2. Remove the clockspring from the steering column. 3. Rotate the clockspring rotor clockwise to the end of its travel. Do not apply excessive torque. 4. From the end of the clockwise travel, rotate the rotor about two and one-half turns counterclockwise. 5. The engagement dowel and yellow rubber boot should end up at the bottom, and the arrows on the clockspring rotor and case should be in alignment. The clockspring is now centered. 6. The front wheels should still be in the straight-ahead position. Reinstall the clockspring onto the steering column. Fig. The clockspring assembly is mounted to the end of the column, behind the steering wheel Back to Top Dakota, 2001-2005 Disarming the System Print 1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. Wait 2 minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing any service. 2. When repairs are completed, connect the negative battery cable. Back to Top Dakota, 2001-2005 General Information Print CAUTION Some vehicles are equipped with an air bag system. The system must be disarmed before performing service on, or around, system components, the steering column, instrument panel components, wiring and sensors. Failure to follow the safety precautions and the disarming procedure could result in accidental air bag deployment, possible injury and unnecessary system repairs. NOTE This manual does not cover SRS repairs or replacement as such work should be left to a trained professional. The following precautions then, are only to inform the do-it-yourselfer and give him or her a greater appreciation for the system when required to work in proximity to SRS components. Back to Top Dakota, 2001-2005 Precautions Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable before beginning any airbag system component diagnosis, testing, removal, or installation procedures. Allow system capacitor to discharge for two minutes before beginning any component service. This will disable the airbag system. Failure to disable the airbag system may result in accidental airbag deployment, personal injury, or death. Print Do not place an intact undeployed airbag face down on a solid surface. The airbag will propel into the air if accidentally deployed and may result in personal injury or death. When carrying or handling an undeployed airbag, the trim side (face) of the airbag should be pointing towards the body to minimize possibility of injury if accidental deployment occurs. Failure to do this may result in personal injury or death. Replace airbag system components with Mopar® replacement parts. Substitute parts may appear interchangeable, but internal differences may result in inferior occupant protection. Failure to do so may result in occupant personal injury or death. Wear safety glasses, rubber gloves, and long sleeved clothing when cleaning powder residue from vehicle after an airbag deployment. Powder residue emitted from a deployed airbag can cause skin irritation. Flush affected area with cool water if irritation is experienced. If nasal or throat irritation is experienced, exit the vehicle for fresh air until the irritation ceases. If irritation continues, see a physician. Do not use a replacement airbag that is not in the original packaging. This may result in improper deployment, personal injury, or death. The factory installed fasteners, screws and bolts used to fasten airbag components have a special coating and are specifically designed for the airbag system. Do not use substitute fasteners. Use only original equipment fasteners listed in the parts catalog when fastener replacement is required. During, and following, any child restraint anchor service, due to impact event or vehicle repair, carefully inspect all mounting hardware, tether straps, and anchors for proper installation, operation, or damage. If a child restraint anchor is found damaged in any way, the anchor must be replaced. Failure to do this may result in personal injury or death. Deployed and non-deployed airbags may or may not have live pyrotechnic material within the airbag inflator. Do not dispose of driver/passenger/curtain airbags or seat belt tensioners unless you are sure of complete deployment. Refer to the Hazardous Substance Control System for proper disposal. Dispose of deployed airbags and tensioners consistent with state, provincial, local, and federal regulations. After any airbag component testing or service, do not connect the battery negative cable. Personal injury or death may result if the system test is not performed first. If the vehicle is equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS), do not connect the battery negative cable before performing the OCS Verification Test using the scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic information. Personal injury or death may result if the system test is not performed properly. Never replace both the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) and the Occupant Classification Module (OCM) at the same time. If both require replacement, replace one, and then perform the Airbag System test before replacing the other. Both the ORC and the OCM store Occupant Classification System (OCS) calibration data, which they transfer to one another when one of them is replaced. If both are replaced at the same time, an irreversible fault will be set in both modules and the OCS may malfunction and cause personal injury or death. If equipped with OCS, the Seat Weight Sensor is a sensitive, calibrated unit and must be handled carefully. Do not drop or handle roughly. If dropped or damaged, replace with another sensor. Failure to do so may result in occupant injury or death. If equipped with OCS, the front passenger seat must be handled carefully as well. When removing the seat, be careful when setting on floor not to drop. If dropped, the sensor may be inoperative, could result in occupant injury, or possibly death. If equipped with OCS, when the passenger front seat is on the floor, no one should sit in the front passenger seat. This uneven force may damage the sensing ability of the seat weight sensors. If sat on and damaged, the sensor may be inoperative, could result in occupant injury, or possibly death. Back to Top Drive Train Dakota, 2001-2005 Transmission Removal & Installation Print 1.

Print ABS system bleeding requires conventional bleeding methods plus use of the DRB scan tool. The procedure involves performing a base brake bleeding, followed by use of the scan tool to cycle and bleed the HCU pump and solenoids. A second base brake bleeding procedure is then required to remove any air remaining in the system. 1. Perform base brake bleeding. Refer to the appropriate section. 2. Connect the scan tool to the data link connector beneath the dashboard. 3. Select "Antilock Brakes" followed by "Miscellaneous", then "Bleed Brakes". Follow the instructions displayed until the unit displays "Test Complete", then disconnect the scan tool and proceed. 4. Perform a base brake bleeding a second time. 5. Top up the master cylinder.

Back to Top Dakota, 2001-2005 Description & Operation The Rear Wheel Antilock Brake System (RWAL) is designed to prevent rear wheel lockup under heavy braking conditions. The main system components are: the RWAL valve, controller (CAB), rear wheel speed sensor mounted on the axle, and exciter ring on the differential. Print When the brakes are applied, hydraulic fluid is routed from the master cylinder's secondary circuit through the combination valve, to the RWAL valve. From there the fluid is routed to the rear brake wheel cylinders. The CAB monitors rear wheel speed through the sensor on the axle. If a wheel is about to lock up, the CAB signals the RWAL valve, which then modulates hydraulic pressure to the rear wheels to prevent lock up. During light brake application, rear wheel deceleration is not sufficient to activate the antilock system. During a normal stop the brake fluid flows without restriction to the rear wheel cylinders to stop the vehicle. The antilock solenoids are inactive. The isolation valve is open and the dump valve is closed allowing normal fluid flow to the rear wheel cylinders. Fig. the exciter ring is located in the differential If the CAB senses impending rear wheel lockup, it will energize the isolation solenoid. This prevents a further increase of driver induced brake pressure to the rear wheels. If this initial action is not enough to prevent rear wheel lock-up, the CAB will momentarily energize a dump solenoid. This opens the dump valve to vent a small amount of isolated rear brake pressure to an accumulator. The action of fluid moving to the accumulator reduces the isolated brake pressure at the wheel cylinders. The dump (pressure venting) cycle is limited to very short time periods (milliseconds). The CAB will pulse the dump valve until the rear wheel deceleration reaches the desired slip rate programmed into the CAB. The system will switch to normal braking once wheel locking tendencies are no longer present. Note that the RWAL system controls both rear wheel brakes simultaneously. Fig. RWAL hydraulic schematic Fig. Controller Antilock Brakes (CAB) module The Four Wheel Antilock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-up during braking under virtually any road surface conditions. This allows the driver to retain greater control of the vehicle during braking. The major components of the system are: Controller Antilock Brakes (CAB) Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) Wheel speed sensors ABS warning light The HCU provides three channel ABS or four channel With Traction Control pressure control to the front and rear brakes. The front brake antilock valve provides two channel pressure control of the front brakes. Each front wheel brake unit is controlled separately. Two solenoid valves are used in each control channel. The rear brake antilock valve controls the rear wheel brakes in tandem. The rear brake valve contains two solenoid valves. The front and rear antilock valves contain electrically operated solenoid valves. The solenoid valves modulate brake fluid apply pressure during antilock braking. The valves are operated by the antilock electronic module. The antilock electrical system is separate from other electrical circuits in the vehicle. A specially programmed electronic control module is used to operate the system components. Some models have Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) designed into the system that eliminates the combination/proportioning valve. The ABS electronic control module monitors wheel speed sensor inputs continuously while the vehicle is in motion. The module will not activate the ABS system as long as sensor inputs indicate normal braking. Fig. ABS schematic-typical During normal braking, the master cylinder, power booster and wheel brakes units all function as they would in a vehicle without ABS. The solenoid valves are not activated. The wheel speed sensors convert wheel speed into electrical signals. These signals are transmitted to the module for processing and determine wheel lock-up and deceleration rate. When a wheel speed sensor signal indicate the onset of wheel lock-up the ABS braking is activated. The antilock system retards the lockup conditions by modulating fluid apply pressure to the wheel brake units. The pressure is modulated according to wheel speed, degree of lock-up and rate of deceleration. The solenoid valves are cycled continuously to modulate pressure. Solenoid cycle time in antilock mode can be measured in milliseconds. Back to Top Dakota, 2001-2005 Diagnosis & Testing Diagnosis of base brake conditions that are mechanical in nature should be performed first. This includes brake noise, lack of power assist, parking brake, or vehicle vibration during normal braking. Print The RWAL brake system performs several self-tests every time the ignition switch is turned on and the vehicle is driven. The CAB monitors the system inputs and outputs circuits to verify the system is operating properly. If the CAB senses a malfunction in the system it will set a DTC into memory and trigger the warning lamp. Diagnosis of base brake conditions that are mechanical in nature should be performed first. This includes brake noise, lack of power assist, parking brake, or vehicle vibration during normal braking. The static and dynamic checks occur at ignition start up. During the dynamic check, the CAB briefly cycles the pump and solenoids to verify operation. An audible noise may be heard during this self-check. If an ABS component exhibits a fault during initialization, the CAB illuminates the amber warning light and registers a fault code in the memory. Fig. Back to Top Dakota, 2001-2005 Fault Codes Print The red brake warning lamp and amber ABS warning lamp are located in the instrument cluster. The red brake warning lamp is used to alert the driver of a hydraulic fault or that the parking brake is applied. The red brake warning lamp is also used to alert the driver of a problem with the RWAL system. The red brake warning lamp illuminates when a message is sent over the bus to the cluster to illuminate the bulb. A ground is provided when: The parking brake is applied and the parking brake switch is actuated A hydraulic fault has occurred and the pressure differential switch is actuated A RWAL fault has occurred The amber ABS warning lamp is used to alert the driver of an RWAL problem and identify DTCs stored in the CAB memory. If a system fault is detected during the self-test, or at any other time, the control module will illuminate the Antilock indicator lamp and store the fault code in the microprocessor memory. If a fault code is generated, the module will remember the code after the ignition is switched OFF . The microprocessor memory will store and display only one fault code at a time. The stored code can be displayed by grounding the RWAL diagnostic connector and counting the number of flashes on the indicator lamp. To clear the fault code, disconnect the control module connector or disconnect the battery for at least 5 seconds. During system retest, wait 30 seconds to make sure the fault code does not reappear.
