towards the steering wheel to just before a detent, to
momentarily activate the headlamp optical horn fea-
ture. The high beams will remain illuminated until
the control stalk is released. The multi-function
switch provides a ground output on a high beam
relay control circuit to energize the headlamp high
beam relay (Daytime Running Lamp relay in Cana-
dian vehicles) in the Junction Block (JB) as required.
²Interior Lamps Defeat- The control ring on
the multi-function switch left (lighting) control stalk
is rotated to a full rearward (clockwise) detent to
defeat the illumination of all interior courtesy lamps.
The multi-function switch provides a resistor multi-
plexed output to the Body Control Module (BCM) on
a panel lamps dimmer switch mux circuit, and the
BCM responds by de-energizing its internal courtesy
lamp driver circuit.
²Interior Lamps On- The control ring on the
multi-function switch left (lighting) control stalk is
rotated to a full forward (counterclockwise) detent to
illuminate all interior courtesy lamps. The multi-
function switch provides a resistor multiplexed out-
put to the Body Control Module (BCM) on a panel
lamps dimmer switch mux circuit, and the BCM
responds by energizing its internal courtesy lamp
driver circuit.
²Panel Lamps Dimming- The control ring on
the multi-function switch left (lighting) control stalk
is rotated to one of six minor intermediate detents to
simultaneously select the desired illumination inten-
sity of all adjustable instrument panel and instru-
ment cluster lighting. The control ring is rotated
rearward (clockwise) to dim, or forward (counter-
clockwise) to brighten. The multi-function switch pro-
vides a resistor multiplexed output to the Body
Control Module (BCM) on a panel lamps dimmer
switch mux circuit, and the BCM responds by send-
ing an electronic panel lamps dimming level message
to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
over the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus. The EMIC electronic circuitry then
provides the proper PWM output to the cluster illu-
mination lamps and the VFD on the EMIC circuit
board, then provides a matching PWM output on the
hard wired fused panel lamps dimmer switch signal
circuit.
²Parade Mode- The control ring on the multi-
function switch left (lighting) control stalk is rotated
to an intermediate detent that is one detent rear-
ward (clockwise) from the full forward (counterclock-
wise) detent to select the Parade mode. The multi-
function switch provides a resistor multiplexed
output to the Body Control Module (BCM) on a panel
lamps dimmer switch mux circuit, and the BCM
responds by sending an electronic panel lamps dim-
ming level message to the ElectroMechanical Instru-ment Cluster (EMIC) over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus. The EMIC
electronic circuitry then provides the proper PWM
output to the cluster illumination lamps and the
VFD on the EMIC circuit board, then provides a
matching PWM output on the hard wired fused panel
lamps dimmer switch signal circuit to illuminate all
lamps at full (daylight) intensity with the exterior
lamps turned On.
²Park Lamps- The control knob on the end of
the multi-function switch left (lighting) control stalk
is rotated forward (counterclockwise) to its first
detent from the Off position to activate the park
lamps. The multi-function switch provides a resistor
multiplexed output to the Body Control Module
(BCM) on a headlamp switch sense circuit, and the
BCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the
park lamp relay in the Junction Block (JB) as
required.
²Rear Fog Lamps- For vehicles so equipped,
the control knob on the end of the multi-function
switch left (lighting) control stalk is rotated forward
(counterclockwise) to its third detent position to acti-
vate the rear fog lamps. The multi-function switch
provides a resistor multiplexed output to the Body
Control Module (BCM) on a headlamp switch sense
circuit, and the BCM responds by energizing or de-
energizing the rear fog lamp relay in the Junction
Block (JB) as required. Rear fog lamps are optional
only for vehicles manufactured for certain markets,
where they are required.
²Turn Signal Control- The left (lighting) con-
trol stalk of the multi-function switch is moved
upward to activate the right turn signal circuitry,
and, downward to activate the left turn signal cir-
cuitry. The turn signal switch has a detent position
in each direction that provides turn signals with
automatic cancellation, and an intermediate, momen-
tary position in each direction that provides turn sig-
nals only until the left multi-function switch control
stalk is released. When the control stalk is moved to
a turn signal switch detent position, the cancel
actuator extends toward the center of the steering
column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to
the clockspring rotates with the steering wheel and
the cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is
extended from the left multi-function switch. When
the steering wheel is rotated during a turning
maneuver, one of the two turn signal cancel cam
lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The
cancel actuator latches against the cancel cam rota-
tion in the direction opposite that which is signaled.
In other words, if the left turn signal detent is
selected, the lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past
the cancel actuator when the steering wheel is
rotated to the left, but will unlatch the cancel actua-

tor as the steering wheel rotates to the right and
returns to center, which will cancel the turn signal
event and release the control stalk from the detent so
it returns to the neutral Off position. When a turn
signal is activated, the multi-function switch provides
a ground output on a right or left turn switch sense
circuit to the combination flasher circuitry within the
hazard switch, and the combination flasher flashes
the turn signal lamps.
RIGHT CONTROL STALK The right (wiper) con-
trol stalk of the multi-function switch operates as fol-
lows:
²Continuous Front Wipe Modes- The control
knob on the end of the multi-function switch right
(wiper) control stalk is rotated to an intermediate
detent that is one detent rearward (counterclockwise)
from the full forward (clockwise) detent to select the
low speed continuous front wiper mode, or to its full
forward (clockwise) detent to select the high speed
continuous front wiper mode. The multi-function
switch provides a resistor multiplexed output to the
Body Control Module (BCM) on a front wiper switch
mux circuit, and the BCM responds by energizing the
wiper on/off relay in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) for the front low speed continuous wipe mode,
or the wiper on/off relay and the wiper high/low relay
in the PDC for the front high speed continuous wipe
mode as required.
²Continuous Rear Wipe Mode- The control
ring on the multi-function switch right (wiper) con-
trol stalk is rotated to the most forward (clockwise)
detent to select the continuous rear wiper mode. The
multi-function switch provides a battery current out-
put to the rear wiper motor on a rear wiper on driver
circuit to signal the rear wiper motor to operate in
the continuous wipe mode.
²Front Washer Mode- The right (wiper) control
stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled towards
the steering wheel to momentarily activate the
washer pump in the front washer mode. The washer
pump will continue to operate in the front washer
mode until the control stalk is released. The multi-
function switch provides a ground output on a
washer pump sense circuit, and battery current on a
washer pump driver circuit to energize the washer
pump in the front washer mode.
²Front Wiper Mist Mode- The right (wiper)
control stalk of the multi-function switch is pushed
towards the floor to momentarily activate the front
wiper motor in the mist mode. The front wiper motor
will continue to operate in the mist mode until the
control stalk is released. The multi-function switch
provides a resistor multiplexed output to the Body
Control Module (BCM) on a front wiper switch mux
circuit, and the BCM responds by energizing the
wiper on/off relay in the Power Distribution Center(PDC) to operate the front wiper motor momentarily
at low speed to provide the front wiper mist mode.
²Intermittent Front Wipe Mode- The control
knob on the end of the multi-function switch right
(wiper) control stalk is rotated to one of five minor
intermediate detents to select the desired intermit-
tent front wipe delay interval. The control knob is
rotated rearward (counterclockwise) to increase the
delay, or forward (clockwise) to decrease the delay.
The multi-function switch provides a resistor multi-
plexed output to the Body Control Module (BCM) on
a front wiper switch mux circuit, and the BCM
responds by energizing the wiper on/off relay in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC) to operate the front
wiper motor at the selected delay intervals.
²Intermittent Rear Wipe Mode- The control
ring on the multi-function switch right (wiper) con-
trol stalk is rotated to the center detent to select the
intermittent rear wiper mode. The multi-function
switch provides a battery current output to the rear
wiper motor on a rear wiper intermittent driver cir-
cuit to signal the rear wiper motor to operate in the
intermittent wipe mode.
²Rear Washer Mode- The control ring on the
multi-function switch right (wiper) control stalk is
rotated to either the full forward (clockwise) or full
rearward (counterclockwise) momentary positions to
activate the washer pump in the rear washer mode.
The washer pump will continue to operate in the rear
washer mode until the control ring is released. The
multi-function switch provides a ground output on a
washer pump driver circuit, and battery current on a
washer pump sense circuit to energize the washer
pump in the rear washer mode.

TRAILER TOW WIRING
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with an optional factory-in-
stalled (not dealer-installed or port-installed) trailer
towing package have a rear body wire harness that
includes an integral trailer tow wiring take out that
connects to a heavy duty, sealed, 7-pin trailer tow
connector located on a bracket on the trailer hitch
receiver (Fig. 68). This harness includes a second
take out with a trailer tow relay connector bank and
four trailer tow relays that isolate the right turn sig-
nal, left turn signal, and brake lamp circuits of the
vehicle from the electrical system of the trailer. The
fourth relay in the connector bank provides a fused
ignition switch output (run) source of battery current
to the trailer tow connector through a trailer tow
relay output circuit. The package also includes an
adapter harness (stored beneath the left rear seat
cushion of the vehicle when it is shipped from the
factory) that adapts the 7-pin trailer tow connector to
a standard, light-duty, 4-pin trailer tow connector.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wir-
ing information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire har-
ness connectors, splices and grounds.

path to the switches using another internal driver
through the courtesy lamp load shed circuit. The
BCM provides a battery saver (load shedding) feature
for all courtesy lamps, which will automatically turn
these lamps off if they are left on for more than
about eight minutes with the ignition switch in the
Off position.
PANEL LAMPS DIMMER CIRCUIT The panel
lamps dimmer circuit includes the ElectroMechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC), heater-air conditioner
control, hazard switch and, depending upon the
selected vehicle options, ash receiver, and automatic
transmission range indicator illumination lamps. All
lamps in the panel lamps dimmer circuit are pro-
vided a path to ground at all times through a hard
wired ground circuit. These lamps illuminate based
upon inputs to the Body Control Module (BCM) from
the exterior lighting control knob and the interior
lighting control ring on the left (lighting) control
stalk of the multi-function switch. The control knob
on the left control stalk of the multi-function switch
selects the exterior lights, while the control ring
selects the panel lamps intensity (dimming) level.
When the exterior lighting is turned On, the BCM
energizes the park lamp relay and provides an elec-
tronic dimming level message to the ElectroMechani-
cal Instrument Cluster (EMIC), the radio, and the
Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) over the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus. The energized park lamp relay provides a hard
wired battery current signal input to the EMIC on
the park lamp relay output circuit. The EMIC
responds to these inputs by supplying a 12-volt Pulse
Width Modulated (PWM) output to all of the incan-
descent lamps in the panel lamps dimmer circuit
over the fused panel lamps dimmer switch signal cir-
cuit. This shared PWM output synchronizes the
selected illumination intensity level of all of the
incandescent lamps in the panel lamps dimmer cir-
cuit.
The EMIC and the radio each use the electronic
dimming level message from the BCM to control and
synchronize the illumination intensity of their own
Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD), while the CMTC
uses the dimming level message to control the illumi-
nation intensity of both its VFD and its incandescent
lighting. In addition, when the control ring on the
left (lighting) control stalk of the multi-function
switch is moved to the Parade Mode detent position,
all of the VFDs are illuminated at their full intensity
levels for increased visibility when the vehicle is
driven during daylight hours with the exterior lights
turned On.DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - LAMPS/LIGHTING
- INTERIOR
The hard wired circuits and components of the
interior lighting system may be diagnosed and tested
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures.
However, conventional diagnostic methods may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the Body Control
Module (BCM), the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC), or the Programmable Communica-
tions Interface (PCI) data bus network. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the BCM, the EMIC, and the PCI data bus network
inputs and outputs related to the various interior
lighting systems requires the use of a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
When diagnosing the interior lighting circuits,
remember that high generator output can burn out
bulbs rapidly and repeatedly; and, that dim or flick-
ering bulbs can be caused by low generator output or
poor battery condition. If one of these symptoms is a
problem on the vehicle being diagnosed, be certain to
diagnose and repair the battery and charging system
as required. Also keep in mind that a good ground is
necessary for proper lighting operation. If a lighting
problem is being diagnosed that involves multiple
symptoms, systems, or components the problem can
often be traced to a loose, corroded, or open ground.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropri-
ate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector
repair procedures, details of wire harness routing
and retention, connector pin-out information and
location views for the various wire harness connec-
tors, splices and grounds.

tain markets where this equipment is required.
²Headlamp Leveling Switch- A thumbwheel
actuated headlamp leveling switch is mounted in the
driver side inboard instrument panel trim bezel of
vehicles manufactured for certain markets where this
equipment is required.
²High Beam Relay- A high beam relay is
located in the Junction Block (JB) of all vehicles
except those that are manufactured for sale in Can-
ada. Canadian vehicles have a solid state Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL) relay in the JB instead of the
high beam relay.
²Low Beam Relay- A low beam relay is located
in the Junction Block (JB) of all vehicles.
²Multi-Function Switch- The multi-function
switch is located on the top of the steering column,
just below the steering wheel. The multi-function
switch includes a left (lighting) control stalk and a
right (wiper) control stalk. The left control stalk is
dedicated to providing almost all of the driver con-
trols for both the exterior and interior lighting sys-
tems.
²Park Lamp Relay- A park lamp relay is
located in the Junction Block (JB) of all vehicles.
²Rear Fog Lamp Relay- Vehicles manufac-
tured for certain markets where rear fog lamps are
required equipment have a rear fog lamp relay
located in the Junction Block (JB).

²Trailer Tow Adapter- Vehicles equipped with
a factory-installed trailer towing package have an
adapter provided that adapts the factory-installed
heavy duty 7-way trailer tow connector to a conven-
tional 4-way light duty connector.
²Trailer Tow Connector- Vehicles equipped
with a factory-installed trailer towing package have a
heavy duty 7-way trailer tow connector installed in a
bracket on the trailer hitch receiver.
²Trailer Tow Relays- Vehicles equipped with a
factory-installed trailer towing package have a con-
nector bank containing four relays located behind the
right quarter trim panel and over the right rear
wheel housing. The four relays are used to supply
fused ignition switch output (run), brake lamps, right
turn signal, and left turn signal outputs to a trailer
through the trailer tow wiring and connectors.
Hard wired circuitry connects the exterior lighting
system components to the electrical system of the
vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to sev-
eral wire harnesses, which are routed throughout the
vehicle and retained by many different methods.
These circuits may be connected to each other, to the
vehicle electrical system and to the exterior lighting
system components through the use of a combination
of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many
different types of wire harness terminal connectors
and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring infor-
mation. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
further details on wire harness routing and reten-
tion, as well as pin-out and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
OPERATION
Following are paragraphs that briefly describe the
operation of each of the major exterior lighting sys-
tems. The hard wired circuits and components of the
exterior lighting systems may be diagnosed and
tested using conventional diagnostic tools and proce-
dures. However, conventional diagnostic methods
may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the Body
Control Module (BCM), the ElectroMechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC), the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM), or the Programmable Communica-
tions Interface (PCI) data bus network. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the BCM, the EMIC, the PCM, and the PCI data bus
network inputs and outputs related to the various
exterior lighting systems requires the use of a
DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnos-
tic information.BACKUP LAMPS
The backup (or reverse) lamps have a path to
ground at all times through their connection to the
rear lighting wire harness from a take out of the rear
body wire harness with an eyelet terminal connector
that is secured by a ground screw to the base of the
right D-pillar behind the quarter trim panel. The
backup lamps receive battery current from a fused
ignition switch output (run) fuse in the Junction
Block (JB) on the back-up lamp feed circuit only
when the backup lamp switch (manual transmission),
or backup lamp switch circuit of the Transmission
Range Sensor (TRS - electronic automatic transmis-
sion) is closed by the gearshift mechanism within the
transmission.
BRAKE LAMPS
The brake (or stop) lamps have a path to ground at
all times through their connection to the rear light-
ing wire harness from a take out of the rear body
wire harness with an eyelet terminal connector that
is secured by a screw to the base of the right D-pillar
behind the quarter trim panel. The Center High
Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) has a path to ground
at all times through its connection to the rear body
wire harness from a take out of the rear body wire
harness with an eyelet terminal connector that is
secured by a ground screw to the driver side D-pillar
(left side D-pillar for left-hand drive, right side D-pil-
lar for right-hand drive) behind the quarter trim
panel. The brake lamps and CHMSL receive battery
current from a fused B(+) fuse in the Junction Block
(JB) on the brake lamp switch output circuit only
when the brake lamp switch circuit of the brake
lamp switch is closed by the brake pedal arm.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
Vehicles manufactured for sale in Canada illumi-
nate the high beam filament at a reduced intensity
when the engine is running and the exterior lamps
are turned off. This feature is enabled by the Body
Control Module (BCM) and a solid state Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL) relay, which is installed in the
Junction Block (JB) and the high beam relay is omit-
ted. When the BCM monitors an engine speed signal
of greater than 450 RPM and the status of the exte-
rior lighting switch input from the multi-function
switch is Off, the BCM duty cycles the DRL relay to
produce illumination of the headlamp high beam fil-
aments at a reduced intensity. The BCM also pro-
vides normal headlamp high beam operation through
the DRL relay on vehicles so equipped. When the
DRL relay is energized, it provides battery current
from a fused B(+) fuse in the JB to the headlamp
high beam filament through the DRL relay output
circuit.
