GENERAL INFORMATION

3.5 COMMUNICATION
The Programmable Communication Interface or
PCI Bus is a single wire multiplexed network capa-
ble of supporting binary encoded messages shared
between multiple modules. The PCI bus circuit is
identified as D25 and is white with a violet tracer.
Additional tracer colors may be added to the violet
in order to distinguish between different module
connections. The modules are wired in parallel.
Connections are made in the harness using splices.
One splice called the Diagnostic Junction Port,
serves as the ªHubº of the bus. The Diagnostic
Junction Port provides an access point to isolate
most of the modules on the bus in order to assist in
diagnosing the circuit. The following modules are
used on the RG:
²Body Control Module
²Front Control Module
²Occupant Restraint Controller
²Left Side Impact Airbag Control Module
²Right Side Impact Airbag Control Module
²Controller Antilock Brake
²Powertrain Control Module
²Engine Control Module - Diesel Only
²Radio
²CD Changer
²Transmission Control Module
²Automatic Temperature Control Module
²A/C Heater Control Module (MTC)
²Sentry Key Immobilizer Module
²RKE/Thatcham Alarm Module
²Memory Seat/Mirror Module
²Overhead Console
²Mechanical Instrument Cluster
²Left Sliding Door Control Module
²Right Sliding Door Control Module
²Power Liftgate Module
Each module provides its own bias and termina-
tion in order to transmit and receive messages. The
bus voltage is at zero volts when no modules are
transmitting and is pulled up to about seven and a
half volts when modules are transmitting.
The bus messages are transmitted at a rate
averaging 10800 bits per second. Since there is only
voltage present when the modules transmit and the
message length is only about 500 milliseconds, it is
ineffective to try and measure the bus activity witha conventional voltmeter. The preferred method is
to use the DRBIIItlab scope. The 12v square wave
selection on the 20-volt scale provides a good view of
the bus activity. Voltage on the bus should pulse
between zero and about seven and a half volts.
Refer to the following figure for some typical dis-
plays.
The PCI Bus failure modes are broken down into
two categories. Complete PCI Bus Communication
Failure and individual module no response. Causes
of complete PCI Bus Communication Failure in-
clude a short to ground or battery on the PCI
circuit. Individual module no response can be
caused by an open circuit at either the Diagnostic
Junction Port or the module, or an open battery or
ground circuit to the affected module.
Symptoms of a complete PCI Bus Communication
Failure would include but are not limited to:
²All gauges on the MIC stay at zero
²All telltales on MIC illuminate
²MIC backlighting at full intensity
²Dashed lines in the overhead console ambient
temperature display
²No response received from any module on the PCI
bus (except the PCM)
²No start (if equipped with Sentry Key Immobi-
lizer)
Symptoms of Individual module failure could
include any one or more of the above. The difference
would be that at least one or more modules would
respond to the DRBIIIt.
Diagnosis starts with symptom identification. If a
complete PCI Bus Communication Failure is sus-
pected, begin by identifying which modules the
vehicle is equipped with and then attempt to get a
response from the modules with the DRBIIIt.Ifany
modules are responding, the failure is not related to
the total bus, but can be caused by one or more
modules PCI circuit or power supply and ground
circuits. The DRBIIItmay display ªBUS +/- SIG-
NAL OPENº or ªNO RESPONSEº to indicate a
communication problem. These same messages will
be displayed if the vehicle is not equipped with that
particular module. The CCD error message is a
default message used by the DRBIIItand in no way
indicates whether or not the PCI bus is operational.
The message is only an indication that a module is
either not responding or the vehicle is not equipped.

GENERAL INFORMATION

ating and the combustion air fan operation is sus-
pended for 3 seconds. Subsequently, the combustion
air fan speed is increased in two ramps within 56
seconds to nearly full load operation. After a stabi-
lization phase of 15 seconds, the combustion air fan
speed is again increased in a ramp within 50
seconds to nearly full load. After reaching full load
fuel delivery, the glow plug is deactivated and the
combustion air fan operation is increased to full
load. During the subsequent 45 seconds, as well as
in normal operation, the glow plug functions as a
flame sensor to monitor the flame condition. After
all these events, the automatically controlled heat-
ing operation starts.
In case of a no flame or a flame out condition, a
restart is automatically initiated. If the no flame
condition persists, fuel delivery is stopped and the
heater enters an error lockout mode with a run-
down of the combustion air fan. This will set one or
more DTCs in the DCHA Control's memory. If six
continuous attempts to start the heater fail due to
one or more faults in the DCHA system, the heater
enters a heater lockout mode. This will set DTC
B1813 along with any other fault(s) that the DCHA
Control identified.
3.10.3.2 HEATING
During the automatically controlled heating op-
eration, when the coolant temperature reaches
72ÉC (162ÉF), the heater will switch to a part load
operation. When the coolant temperature reaches
75ÉC (167ÉF) or if the heater runs for longer than 76
minutes the heater will switch to a control idle
period. If the coolant temperature drops to 71ÉC
(160ÉF) during a control idle period, the heater will
perform a regular starting sequence into full load
operation. A drop in coolant temperature to 65ÉC
(149ÉF) during part load operation will cause the
heater to switch to a full load operation.
3.10.3.3 DEACTIVATION
The DCHA will deactivate if the:
²engine is turned off.
²coolant temperature reaches 75ÉC (167ÉF).
²heater runs longer than 76 minutes.
²fuel tank has less than 1/8 of a tank of fuel.
²Power switch on the A/C ± Heater Control Module
is off.
²Blend Control on the A/C ± Heater Control Mod-
ule is set below 75% reheat.
When the heater is deactivated, the combustion
stops and a run-down sequence begins. During the
run-down sequence, the combustion air fan contin-
ues operation to cool down the heater. The fan is
automatically switched off after the run-down se-
quence is complete. The run-down time and thecombustion air fan speed depend on the heater
operating condition at the time of deactivation.
Run-down time is approximately 175 seconds when
deactivated in full load operation and approxi-
mately 100 seconds when deactivated in part load
operation.
3.10.4 DIAGNOSTICS
The DCHA is fully addressable with the DRBIIIt.
System tests include a Field Mode Test to activate
the DCHA for diagnostic testing purposes. The
DCHA Control will store up to three DTCs in its
memory. If the Controller detects a new fault in the
DCHA system, one that is not already stored in its
memory, it will clear the oldest of the three stored
DTCs, and it will store the new fault's DTC. If the
Controller detects a reoccurrence of a stored fault, it
will overwrite that fault's DTC with the most recent
occurrence.
3.11 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
The Instrument Cluster receives and sends mes-
sages to other modules via the PCI bus circuit. The
indicator lamps will illuminate briefly for a bulb
check when the ignition is turned from off to run.
All of the gauges receive their information via the
PCI bus from the powertrain control module and
body control module.
The gauges and the LEDs are not individually
replaceable thereby requiring complete replace-
ment of the Instrument Cluster if a repair is neces-
sary. In the event that the Instrument Cluster loses
communication with other modules on the PCI bus,
the cluster will display ªno busº in the VF display.
The Trip/Reset button is used to switch the dis-
play from trip to total mileage. Holding the button
when the display is in the trip mode will reset the
trip mileage. This button is also used to put the
cluster in self-diagnostic mode. The odometer dis-
play uses blue-green vacuum fluorescent digital
characters.
On base vehicles, the Instrument Cluster has
three gauges: Speedometer, Fuel and Engine Cool-
ant Temperature. A red dot moves transversely
through openings in the Instrument Cluster face
(P-R-N-D-2-1) to indicate the gear selected.
With all other models, the Instrument Cluster
also includes a Tachometer and uses a vacuum-
fluorescent shift indicator.
The odometer display and door/liftgate ajar indi-
cators turn on when a door is opened to assist both
the customer and service technician to view the
odometer without turning the ignition on.
21
GENERAL INFORMATION

On vehicles equipped with AutoStick, the display
includes an O/D OFF indicator that is illuminated
when the driver presses the Overdrive Off button
on the transaxle shifter.
3.11.1 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SELF TEST
1. Depress and hold the Odometer Reset button.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN/START
position.
3. Release the Odometer reset button.
The Instrument Cluster will illuminate all indi-
cators and step the gauges through several calibra-
tion points. Also, the odometer will display any
stored codes that may have set.
3.11.2 MESSAGE CENTER
The Message Center is located above the brow of
the Instrument Cluster. It houses the following
warning indicators: Check Engine/Service Engine
Soon, high beam, left and right turn signals, Secu-
rity Alarm Set, and low oil pressure. On base
models equipped with the three-speed transaxle,
these indicators appear in the face of the cluster.
The Security Alarm set indicator is a red circle.
Activation of Instrument Cluster indicators is
coordinated with indicators in the message center
and EVIC to avoid redundancy. A revised safety
standard now requires that the seat belt warning
lamp in the Instrument Cluster remain lit if the
driver seat belt is not buckled. A headlamp out ISO
indicator has been added to the Instrument Cluster
to alert the driver when a headlamp is not function-
ing.
3.12 INTERIOR LIGHTING
3.12.1 COURTESY LAMP CONTROL
The body controller has direct control over all of
the vehicle's courtesy lamps. The body computer
will illuminate the courtesy lamps under any of the
following conditions:
1. Any door ajar and courtesy lamp switch on the
headlamp switch is not in the dome off position.
2. The courtesy lamp switch on the headlamp
switch is in the dome on position.
3. A Remote Keyless Entry unlock message is re-
ceived.
4. Driver door unlocked with key (with VTSS only).
3.12.2 ILLUMINATED ENTRY
Illuminated entry will be initiated when the cus-
tomer enters the vehicle by unlocking the doors
with the key fob, or with the key if the vehicle is
equipped with vehicle theft alarm. Upon exiting thevehicle, if the lock button is pressed with a door
open, illuminated entry will cancel when the door
closes. If the doors are closed and the ignition
switch is turned on, the illuminated entry also
cancels. The illuminated entry feature will not
operate if the courtesy lamp switch is in the dome
off position.
3.12.3 INTERIOR LIGHTING BATTERY
SAVER
If any of the interior lamps are left on after the
ignition is turned off, the BCM will turn them off
after 8 minutes. To return to normal operation, the
courtesy lamps will operate after the dome lamp
switch or door ajar switch changes state. The glove
box and switched reading lamps require that the
ignition be turned to the on/acc position.
3.13 MEMORY SYSTEM
The memory system consists of power driver 's
seat, power mirrors and radio presets. The Memory
Seat/Mirror Module (MSMM) is located under the
driver 's seat. It receives input from the following:
driver 's manual 8-way seat switch, driver 's seat
position sensors, PCI bus circuits, and the power
mirror sensors. The module uses these inputs to
perform the following functions: position the driv-
er 's memory seat, both exterior mirrors (during
recalls), and send/receive the memory system infor-
mation over the PCI bus.
The Memory Set Switch is wired to the Body
Control Module (BCM). When a button (either #1 or
#2) is pressed on the set switch causes the to BCM
send a message to the MSMM which in turn sends
a motion status messages to the BCM. If the BCM
receives no motion from the MSMM it will send a
recall message to the MSMM and radio (once igni-
tion is in run or accessory). The MSMM will in turn
position the drivers seat, both mirrors along with
recalling the radio presets. If the drivers seat or
either exterior mirror is inoperative from its own
respective switches, use the service information
and schematic to diagnose the problem. This man-
ual addresses the memory problems only and it is
assumed there is not a basic component failure.
3.13.1 POWER SEAT
The memory power seat provides the driver with
2 position settings for the driver 's seat. Each power
seat motor is connected to the MSMM with two
motor drive circuits. Each circuit is switched be-
tween battery and ground. By being able to bi-
directionally drive the circuits, the MSMM controls
the movement of the motors based on input from
the power seat switch or from the position sensors
when performing a memory recall. Each motor
