ENGINE COOLANT
THERMOSTAT
DESCRIPTION
The engine cooling thermostats are a wax pellet
driven, reverse poppet choke type. The thermostat is
mounted in a housing on the coolant outlet of the
engine (Fig. 8) or (Fig. 10).
OPERATION
The engine cooling thermostat is a wax pellet
driven, reverse poppet choke type. The thermostat is
designed to provide the fastest warm up possible by
preventing leakage through it and to guarantee a
minimum engine operating temperature of 88 to
93ÉC (192 to 199ÉF). The thermostat also will auto-
matically reach wide open so it will not restrict flow
to the radiator as temperature of the coolant rises in
hot weather to around 104ÉC (220ÉF). Above this
temperature the coolant temperature is controlled by
the radiator, fan, and ambient temperature, not the
thermostat.
The thermostat is operated by a wax filled con-
tainer (pellet) which is sealed. When heated coolant
reaches a predetermined temperature, the wax
expands enough to overcome the closing spring and
water pump pressure, which forces the valve to open.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ENGINE COOLANT
THERMOSTAT
The thermostat is operated by a wax filled cham-
ber (pellet) which is sealed. When heated coolant
reaches a predetermined temperature the wax pellet
expands enough to overcome the closing spring and
water pump pressure, which forces the valve to open.
Coolant leakage into the pellet will cause a thermo-
stat to fail open. Do not attempt to free up a thermo-
stat with a screwdriver.
Thermostat diagnostics is included in powertrain
control module's (PCM) programing for on-board
diagnosis. The malfunction indicator light (MIL) will
illuminate and a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will
be set when an ªopen too soonº condition occurs. Do
not change a thermostat for lack of heater perfor-
mance or temperature gauge position, unless a DTC
is present. For other probable causes, (Refer to 7 -
COOLING/ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
Thermostat failing shut is the normal long term
mode of failure, and normally, only on high mileage
vehicles. The temperature gauge will indicate this
(Refer to 7 - COOLING/ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING).

FRONT CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Front Control Module (FCM) is a micro con-
troller based module located in the engine compart-
ment. This FCM mates to the power distribution
center to form the Integrated Power Module (IPM).
The IPM connects directly to the battery and pro-
vides the primary means of circuit protection and
power distribution for all vehicle electrical systems.
The FCM controls power to some of these vehicle sys-
tems electrical and electromechanical loads based on
inputs received from hard wired switch inputs and
data received on the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus.
For information on the IPM, (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/POWER DISTRIBUTION/INTEGRATED
POWER MODULE - DESCRIPTION)
OPERATION
As messages are sent over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus, the Front Con-
trol Module (FCM) reads these messages and controls
power to some of the vehicles electrical systems by
completing the circuit to ground (low side driver) or
completing the circuit to 12 volt power (high side
driver).

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FRONT CONTROL
MODULE
The Front Control Module (FCM) is a printed cir-
cuit board based module with a on-board micro-pro-
cessor. The FCM interfaces with other electronic
modules in the vehicle via the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus. In order to
obtain conclusive testing the PCI data bus and all of
the electronic modules that provide inputs to, or
receive outputs from the FCM must be checked. All
PCI communication faults must be resolved prior to
further diagnosing any front control module related
issues.
The FCM was designed to be diagnosed with an
appropriate diagnostic scan tool, such as the DRB
IIIt. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the front control module requires the use
of a DRB IIItscan tool and the proper Body Diag-
nostic Procedures manual.
Before any testing of the FCM is attempted, the
battery should be fully charged and all wire harness

DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Grid lines can be damaged or scraped
off with sharp instruments. Care should be taken in
cleaning glass or removing foreign materials,
decals or stickers. Normal glass cleaning solvents
or hot water used with rags or toweling is recom-
mended.
The rear window defogger system consists of two
vertical bus bars linked by a series of grid lines fired
onto the inside surface of the rear window (Fig. 1).
The rear window defogger system is turned ON or
OFF by a control switch located on the A/C-heater
control at the center of the instrument panel and by
a rear window defogger relay timing circuit integral
to the integrated power module (IPM) (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/HEATED GLASS/REAR WINDOW
DEFOGGER SWITCH - DESCRIPTION).
Circuit protection is provided by a 40 amp fuse
located in the IPM.
Fig. 1 Rear Window Defogger - Typical
1 - REAR DEFOGGER GRID
2 - REAR WINDOW
RSHEATED SYSTEMS8G-1

OPERATION
When the rear window defogger button is
depressed to the On position, current is directed to
the rear defogger grid lines and the heated power
mirrors (if equipped). The heated grid lines heat the
glass to help clear the rear window and side mirror
surfaces of fog or frost.
The defogger system is controlled by a momentary
switch located in the A/C-heater control on the
instrument panel. A yellow indicator in the switch
will illuminate to indicate when the defogger system
is turned on. The integrated power module (IPM)
contains the defogger system control circuitry.
NOTE:
The rear window defogger turns off automat-
ically after approximately 10 minutes of initial opera-
tion. Each following activation cycle of the defogger
system will last approximately five minutes.
The defogger system will be automatically turned
off after a programmed time interval of about ten
minutes. After the initial time interval has expired, if
the defogger switch is turned on again during the
same ignition cycle, the defogger system will auto-
matically turn off after about five minutes.
The defogger system will automatically shut off if
the ignition switch is turned to the Off position, or it
can be turned off manually by depressing the defog-
ger switch a second time.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REAR WINDOW
DEFOGGER SYSTEM
The electrically heated rear window defogger oper-
ation can be checked on the vehicle in the following
manner:
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
(2) Make sure that the defogger switch is Off.
(3) Using a ammeter on the battery, turn the rear
defogger control switch to the On position, a distinct
increase in amperage draw should be noted.
(4) The rear window defogger operation can be
checked by feeling the glass. A distinct difference in
temperature between the grid lines and adjacent
clear glass should be detected in three to four min-
utes of operation.
(5) Using a DC voltmeter, contact the negative
lead to Point B, and the positive lead to Point A (Fig.
2). The voltmeter should read 10-14 volts.
NOTE: Illumination of the LED indicator means that
there is power available at the switch, but does not
necessarily verify system operation.
(6) If turning the defogger switch On produced no
distinct current draw on the ammeter, the problem
should be isolated in the following manner:²Confirm that the ignition switch is On.
²Make sure that the heated rear window feed
wire is connected to the terminal and that the
ground wire is in fact grounded.
²Make sure that fuse 13 (40 amp) in the inte-
grated power module (IPM) is OK.
(7) When the above steps have been completed and
the system is still inoperative, one or more of the fol-
lowing could be defective. It may be necessary to con-
nect a DRBIIItscan tool to perform further
diagnostics. Refer to Body Diagnostic Procedures.
²Rear window defogger switch in the A/C-heater
control.
²J1850 bus communication between the A/C-
heater control and the front control module (FCM).
²Rear window defogger relay in the IPM.
²Rear window defogger relay control circuity in
the IPM.
²Check for a loose wire connector or a wire
pushed out of a connector.
²Rear window grid lines (all grid lines would
have to be broken, or one of the feed wires not con-
nected for the system to be inoperative).
(8) If turning the rear window defogger switch On
produces severe voltmeter deflection, the circuit
should be closely checked for a shorting condition.
(9) If the system operation has been verified but
LED indicator does not illuminate, replace the A/C-
heater control.
(10) For detailed wiring information, refer to Wir-
ing Diagrams.

REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The rear window defogger switch is integrated into
the A/C-heater control mounted in the center of the
instrument panel (Fig. 5). The rear window defogger
switch and the rear window defogger LED indicator
cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
A/C-heater control must be replaced.
OPERATION
An LED indicator will illuminate when the rear
window defogger switch is activated. The switch
energizes the A/C-heater control module which then
requests the front control module (FCM) to activate
the rear window defogger relay via the J1850 com-
munication bus. The rear window defogger relay con-
trols the current to flow to the grids of the rear
window defogger and the heated power side view
mirrors. The defogger relay will be on for approxi-
mately 10 minutes or until the control switch or igni-
tion is turned off.

HEATED MIRRORS
DESCRIPTION
The optional heated mirror system only operates in
concert with the rear window defogger system, and
will be automatically shut off after a programmed
time interval of about ten minutes. After the initial
time interval has expired, if the defogger switch is
turned on again during the same ignition cycle, the
heated mirror system will automatically shut off
after about five minutes.
The heated mirror system will automatically shut
off if the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
or it can be shut off manually by pressing the rear
window defogger switch a second time.
OPERATION
When the rear window defogger switch (Fig. 1) is
in the On position, an electric heater grid located
behind the glass of each of the outside rear view mir-
rors is energized. When energized, each of these
heater grids produce heat to help clear the outside
rear view mirrors of ice, snow, or fog.
The heated mirror system is controlled by a
momentary rear window defogger switch on the A/C-
heater control. An amber indicator lamp in the
switch will illuminate to indicate when the defogger
system is turned on.
If the outside mirror heating grids are both inoper-
ative, refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REARWINDOW DEFOGGER SYSTEM in his group. If
only one of the outside mirror heating grids is inop-
erative, Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER MIR-
RORS - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING.
The heating grid behind each outside mirror glass
cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
entire power mirror assembly must be replaced.
