Remote radio switch

DESCRIPTION

A remote radio switch option is available on models equipped with the AM/FM/CD/cassette/3-band graphic equalizer (RAZ sales code) radio receiver and the high-line Central Timer Module (CTM). Refer to Central Timer Module in the Description and Operation section of Group 8E - Instrument Panel Systems for more information on this component.

Two rocker-type switches (Fig. 1) are mounted in the sides of the rear (instrument panel side) steering wheel trim cover. The switch on the left side is the seek switch and has seek up, seek down, and preset station advance functions. The switch on the right side is the volume control switch and has volume up, and volume down functions. The two switches are retained in mounting holes located on each side of the rear steering wheel trim cover by four latches that are integral to the switches.

The remote radio switches share a common steering wheel wire harness with the vehicle speed control switches. The steering wheel wire harness is connected to the instrument panel wire harness through the clockspring. Refer to Clockspring in the Description and Operation section of Group 8M - Passive Restraint Systems for more information on this component.

OPERATION

The remote radio switches are resistor multiplexed units that are hard wired to the high-line CTM through the clockspring. The CTM monitors the status of the remote radio switches and sends the proper switch status messages on the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network to the radio receiver. The electronic circuitry within the radio is programmed to respond to these remote radio switch status messages by adjusting the radio settings as requested.

For diagnosis of the CTM or the CCD data bus, the use of a DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual are recommended. For more information on the features and control functions for each of the remote radio switches, see the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to Audio System in the Contents of Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams.
