CAUTION: Do not use any sharp tools to remove
hoses from inlet tube. This may cause the tube to
leak.

(4) Remove the radiator lower hose and heater

hose from the inlet tube.

(5) Remove the lower intake manifold support

bracket.

(6) Remove the inlet tube to the block fasteners.
(7) Rotate tube while removing the tube from the

engine block (Fig. 32).

INSTALLATION

(1) Inspect the O-ring for damage before installing

the tube into the cylinder block (Fig. 32). Replace
O-ring as necessary.

(2) Lubricate

O-ring

with

Mopar

t Dielectric

Grease and install inlet tube into the cylinder block
opening.

(3) Install inlet tube fasteners and tighten to 12

N·m (105 in. lbs.).

(4) Install intake manifold lower support bracket

fasteners and tighten to 12 N·m (105 in. lbs.).

(5) Connect the radiator lower hose and heater

hose to inlet tube.

(6) Install the intake manifold (Refer to 9 -

TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER

DESCRIPTION

The transmission oil cooler is an oil to coolant type,

mounted in the radiator lower tank (Fig. 1). Rubber
hoses connect the oil cooler and the automatic trans-
mission. Use only approved transmission oil cooler
hoses that are molded to fit the applicable vehicle.
The transmission cooler is serviced with the radiator.

OPERATION

As oil flows through the cooler, heat from the oil is

transferred to the coolant.

REMOVAL

The transmission cooler in serviced with the radi-

ator assembly. (Refer to 7 - COOLING/ENGINE/RA-
DIATOR - REMOVAL)

INSPECTION

Inspect all hoses, tubes, clamps and connections for

leaks, cracks, or damage. Replace as necessary. Use
only approved transmission oil cooler hoses that are
molded to fit the space available.

Inspect external coolers for leaks, loose mounts, or

damage. Replace as necessary.

INSTALLATION

(Refer to 7 - COOLING/ENGINE/RADIATOR -

INSTALLATION)

TRANSMISSION COOLER
HOSES

DESCRIPTION

The transmission oil cooling circuit uses special

aggressive fittings for the transmission oil cooler
hoses. Whenever a transmission oil cooler hose is
removed from a transmission fitting (at transmis-
sion), it must be cut off flush with the fitting, and a
service splice kit must be used upon reassembly.
Refer to instructions provided with splice kit. When-
ever a transmission oil cooler hose is removed from a
transmission oil cooler fitting (at radiator), it must be
replaced with a new hose. Removing the hose from
the aggressive fitting will scrape material from inside
the hose making the hose larger. Failure to replace
the hose or install a service splice kit will result in
transmission oil leaks.

When hose clamp replacement is necessary, replace

with constant tension spring type hose clamps.
Always use proper hose clamp pliers on clamps. Use
of improper hose clamp pliers may bend hose clamps
out-of-round resulting in transmission oil leaks.

REMOVAL

(1) While holding tension on hose clamps with pli-

ers, move clamps off the fitting location of hose.

(2) Disconnect hoses from cooler (Fig. 2). Discon-

nect hoses from transmission fittings (Fig. 3).

(3) Remove cooler hoses.

INSTALLATION

NOTE: When the transaxle cooler lines are removed
from the rolled-groove type fittings at the cooler
and transaxle, damage to the inner wall of hose will
occur. To prevent potential leakage, the cooler
hoses must be replaced.

(1) Connect hoses to cooler (Fig. 2) and transmis-

sion (Fig. 3) fittings.

(2) Position and install hose clamps.
(3) Start engine and check transmission fluid level.

Adjust level as necessary.

AUDIO/VIDEO

DESCRIPTION

The audio system includes the following compo-

nents:

• Antenna

• Compact disc changer (if equipped)

• Radio noise suppression components

• Radio receiver

• Speakers
Certain functions and features of the audio system

rely upon resources shared with other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the Programmable Com-
munication Interface (PCI) bus network. The data
bus network allows the sharing of sensor informa-
tion. For diagnosis of these electronic modules or of
the data bus network, the use of a DRB III

t scan tool

and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual are
recommended.

OPERATION

The audio system components are designed to pro-

vide audio entertainment and information through
the reception, tuning and amplification of locally
broadcast radio signals in both the Amplitude Modu-
lating (AM) and Frequency Modulating (FM) com-
mercial frequency ranges.

The audio system components operate on battery

current received through a fuse in the Power Distri-
bution Center (PDC) on a fused ignition switch out-
put (run-acc) circuit so that the system will only

operate when the ignition switch is in the Run or
Accessory positions.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AUDIO

Any diagnosis of the Audio system should

begin with the use of the DRB III

t diagnostic

tool. For information on the use of the DRB
III

t, refer to the appropriate Diagnostic Service

Manual.

Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

WARNING:

DISABLE

THE

AIRBAG

SYSTEM

BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL,
STEERING COLUMN, SEAT BELT TENSIONER, SIDE
AIRBAG, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT
DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISO-
LATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE,
THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYS-
TEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PER-
FORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS
IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIR-
BAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
