GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Fol l owi ng are general descri pti ons of the major
components used i n both the standard and opti onal
factory-i nstal l ed audi o systems. Refer to 8W-47 Audi o
System i n Group 8W - Wi ri ng Di agrams for compl ete
ci rcui t descri pti ons and di agrams.
MEMORY SYSTEM
An el ectroni c memory system i s an avai l abl e opti on
on thi s model . The memory system i s abl e to store and
recal l the dri ver si de power seat posi ti ons (i ncl udi ng
power l umbar and recl i ner posi ti ons), and both outsi de
power mi rror posi ti ons for two dri vers. For vehi cl es wi th
a radi o connected to the Chrysl er Col l i si on Detecti on
(CCD) data bus network, the memory system i s al so
abl e to store and recal l ten radi o stati on presets (i ncl ud-
i ng l ast stati on tuned) for two dri vers. The memory sys-
tem wi l l automati cal l y return to al l of these setti ngs
when the correspondi ng button (Dri ver 1 or 2) of the
memory swi tch on the dri ver si de front door tri m panel
i s depressed, or when the doors are unl ocked usi ng the
correspondi ng (Dri ver 1 or 2) Remote Keyl ess Entry
(RKE) transmi tter.
The Dri ver Door Modul e (DDM) recei ves hard-wi red
i nput from the memory set/sel ect swi tch on the dri ver
si de front door tri m panel . The DDM al so recei ves mes-
sages on the CCD data bus from the RKE recei ver i n
the Passenger Door Modul e (PDM) for the memory
sel ect functi on. The DDM processes these i nputs and
sends messages to the PDM, the Memory Seat Modul e
(MSM), and the radi o (i f CCD data bus capabl e) on the
CCD data bus for memory recal l .
The CCD data bus network al l ows the shari ng of
sensor i nformati on. Thi s hel ps to reduce wi re har-
ness compl exi ty, reduce i nternal control l er hardware,
and reduce component sensor current l oads. At the
same ti me, thi s system provi des i ncreased rel i abi l i ty,
enhanced di agnosti cs, and al l ows the addi ti on of
many new feature capabi l i ti es.
Thi s group covers onl y the conventi onal di agnosti c
procedures for the audi o system components. For
di agnosi s of the memory system, the use of a DRB
scan tool and the proper Di agnosti c Procedures man-
ual are recommended. For addi ti onal i nformati on on
the features and functi ons of the memory system,
refer to the owners manual i n the vehi cl e gl ove box.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
SPEAKER
The onl y speaker system offered wi th the base
AM/FM/cassette radi o recei ver (RAS sal es code)
i ncl udes four ful l -range speakers, one mounted i n
each of the four doors. Thi s i s al so the standard
equi pment speaker system offered wi th the AM/FM/
CD/cassette/3-band graphi c equal i zer (RAZ sal es
code).
Opti onal for the RAZ sal es code radi o, and stan-
dard for al l other radi os (except RAS sal es code) i s
the I nfi ni ty Gol d premi um speaker and 120 watt
ampl i fi er package. Thi s package uses an I nfi ni ty
ampl i fi er mounted on the fl oor beneath the rear seat
cushi on on the dri ver si de of the vehi cl e. The package
i ncl udes an I nfi ni ty coaxi al ful l -range speaker
mounted i n each rear door, an I nfi ni ty woofer
speaker mounted i n each front door, and an I nfi ni ty
tweeter mounted at each outboard end of the i nstru-
ment panel top cover.
The standard equi pment speaker system for the
Li mi ted Pl us package i s the I nfi ni ty Gol d premi um
speaker and 180 watt ampl i fi er package. I n addi ti on
to the i ncreased ampl i fi er output, thi s package adds
a sound bar mounted on the i nsi de roof headl i ner,
just forward of the l i ftgate openi ng. Thi s package
uses the same I nfi ni ty speakers as the 120 watt
ampl i fi er package i n the front doors and the i nstru-
ment panel , but uses I nfi ni ty woofers i n the rear
doors. I n addi ti on, the sound bar houses two I nfi ni ty
mi d-range speakers and two I nfi ni ty tweeters, for a
total of ten system speakers.
ANTENNA
Al l model s use a fi xed-l ength stai nl ess steel rod-
type antenna mast, i nstal l ed on the ri ght front
fender of the vehi cl e. The antenna mast i s connected
to the center wi re of the coaxi al antenna cabl e, and i s
not grounded to any part of the vehi cl e.
To el i mi nate stati c, the antenna base must have a
good ground. The coaxi al antenna cabl e shi el d (the
outer wi re mesh of the cabl e) i s grounded to the
antenna base and the radi o chassi s.
The antenna coaxi al cabl e has an addi ti onal di s-
connect, l ocated near the ri ght end of the i nstrument
panel at the ri ght cowl si de i nner panel . Thi s addi -
ti onal di sconnect al l ows the i nstrument panel assem-
bl y to be removed and i nstal l ed wi thout removi ng the
radi o.
The factory-i nstal l ed El ectroni cal l y Tuned Radi os
(ETRs) automati cal l y compensate for radi o antenna
tri m. Therefore, no antenna tri mmer adjustment i s
requi red or possi bl e when repl aci ng the recei ver or
the antenna.
RADIO NOISE SUPPRESSION
Radi o Frequency I nterference (RFI ) and El ectro-
Magneti c I nterference (EMI ) noi se suppressi on i s
accompl i shed pri mari l y through ci rcui try i nternal to
the radi o recei vers. These i nternal suppressi on
devi ces are onl y servi ced as part of the radi o recei ver.
External suppressi on devi ces that are servi ced, and
shoul d be checked i n the case of RFI or EMI noi se
compl ai nts, i ncl ude the fol l owi ng:
Radi o antenna base ground
Radi o chassi s ground wi re, strap, or bracket
Engi ne-to-body ground strap (i f the vehi cl e i s so
equi pped)
Cab-to-bed ground strap (i f the vehi cl e i s so
equi pped)
Heater core ground strap (i f the vehi cl e i s so
equi pped)
Resi stor-type spark pl ugs
Radi o suppressi on-type secondary i gni ti on wi r-
i ng.
I n addi ti on, i f the source of RFI or EMI noi se i s
i denti fi ed as a component on the vehi cl e (i .e., gener-
ator, bl ower motor, etc.), the ground path for that
component shoul d be checked. I f excessi ve resi stance
i s found i n that ci rcui t, repai r that ci rcui t as
requi red before consi deri ng any component repl ace-
ment.
I f the source of the noi se i s i denti fi ed as two-way
mobi l e radi o or tel ephone equi pment, check the
equi pment i nstal l ati on for the fol l owi ng:
Power connecti ons shoul d be made di rectl y to
the battery, and fused as cl osel y to the battery as
possi bl e.
The antenna shoul d be mounted on the roof or
toward the rear of the vehi cl e. Remember that mag-
neti c antenna mounts on the roof panel can adversel y
affect the operati on of an overhead consol e compass,
i f the vehi cl e i s so equi pped.
The antenna cabl e shoul d be ful l y shi el ded coax-
i al cabl e, shoul d be as short as i s practi cal , and
shoul d be routed away from the factory-i nstal l ed
vehi cl e wi re harnesses whenever possi bl e.
The antenna and cabl e must be careful l y
matched to ensure a l ow Standi ng Wave Rati o
(SWR).
Fl eet vehi cl es are avai l abl e wi th an extra-cost RFI -
suppressed Powertrai n Control Modul e (PCM). Thi s
uni t reduces i nterference generated by the PCM on
some radi o frequenci es used i n two-way radi o com-
muni cati ons. However, thi s uni t wi l l not resol ve com-
pl ai nts of RFI i n the commerci al AM or FM radi o

The fol l owi ng four tests are used to di agnose the
antenna wi th an ohmmeter:
Test 1 - Mast to ground test
Test 2 - Ti p-of-mast to ti p-of-conductor test
Test 3 - Body ground to battery ground test
Test 4 - Body ground to coaxi al shi el d test.
The ohmmeter test l ead connecti ons for each test
are shown i n Antenna Tests (Fi g. 1).
NOTE: This model has a two-piece antenna coaxial
cable. Tests 2 and 4 must be conducted in two
steps to isolate a coaxial cable problem; from the
coaxial cable connection under the right end of the
instrument panel near the right cowl side panel to
the antenna base, and then from the coaxial cable
connection to the radio chassis connection.
TEST 1
