HEADLAMP SWITCH
Service procedures for the headlamp switch can be
found in Group 8E, Instrument Panel and Gauges. More
information can be found in Wiring Diagrams manual.
HEADLAMP DIMMER SWITCH
The headlamp dimmer switch is incorporated into
the turn signal switch. Proper procedures can be found
in Group 8J, Turn Signal and Flashers. More informa-
tion can be found in Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams.
HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT
Headlamps can be aligned using the screen method
provided in this section. Alignment Tool C4466-A or
equivalent can also be used. Refer to instructions
provided with the tool for proper procedures. The
preferred headlamp alignment setting is 0 for the
left/right adjustment and 0 for the up/down ad-
justment.
HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT PREPARATION
(1) Verify headlamp dimmer switch and high beam
indicator operation. (2) Inspect and correct damaged or defective compo-
nents that could interfere with proper headlamp align-
ment. (3) Verify proper tire inflation.
(4) Clean headlamp lenses.
(5) Verify that luggage area is not heavily loaded.
(6) Fuel tank should be FULL. Add 2.94 kg (6.5 lbs.)
of weight over the fuel tank for each estimated gallon of
missing fuel.
HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT USING ALIGNMENT
SCREEN
ALIGNMENT SCREEN PREPARATION (FIG. 1 AND 2)
(1) Position vehicle on a level surface perpendicular
to a flat wall 7.62 meters (25 ft) away from front of
headlamp lens. (2) If necessary, tape a line on the floor 7.62 meters
(25 ft) away from and parallel to the wall.
(3) From the floor up 1.27 meters (5 ft), tape a line on
the wall at the centerline of the vehicle. Sight along the
centerline of the vehicle (from rear of vehicle forward) to
verify accuracy of the line placement.
(4) Rock vehicle side-to-side three times to allow
suspension to stabilize. (5) Jounce front suspension three times by pushing
downward on front bumper and releasing. (6) Measure the distance from the center of head-
lamp lens to the floor. Transfer measurement to the
alignment screen (with tape). Use this line for up/down
adjustment reference. (7) Measure distance from the centerline of the ve-
hicle to the center of each headlamp being aligned.
Transfer measurements to screen (with tape) to each
side of vehicle centerline. Use these lines for left/right
adjustment reference.
HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 3, 4, 5, 6 OR 7)
A properly aimed low beam headlamp will project the
top edge of low beam hot spot on the alignment screen
from 50 mm (2 in.) above to 50 mm (2 in.) below the
headlamp centerline. The side-to-side left edge of low
beam hot spot should be from 50 mm (2 in.) left to
50mm (2 in.) right of headlamp centerline (Fig. 1). The
preferred headlamp alignment is 0 for the
up/down adjustment and 0 for the left/right ad-
justment. The high beams on a vehicle with aero
headlamps cannot be aligned. The high beam pattern
should be correct when the low beams are aligned
properly. To adjust headlamp alignment, rotate alignment
screws to achieve the specified low beam hot spot
pattern.
CAUTION: Do not cover an illuminated headlamp for
more then 15 seconds. Lamp will overheat and burn
or melt cover.
To adjust headlamps, rotate alignment screws to
achieve the specified high intensity pattern (Fig. 1 or
2).
FOG LAMP ALIGNMENT (FIG. 8)
Prepare an alignment screen. Refer to Alignment
Screen Preparation paragraph in this section. A prop-
erly aligned fog lamp will project a pattern on the
alignment screen 100 mm (4 in.) below the fog lamp
centerline and straight ahead.

GENERAL INFORMATION
For proper operation of the Concealed Headlamp
System, refer to the Owner's Manual provided with
the vehicle.
The Concealed Headlamps are controlled by the Body
Controller (Fig. 1). Refer to Group 8E, Instrument
Panel for service procedures. The Body Controller re-
ceives input information from the ignition switch, head-
lamp switch, and the headlamp dimmer switch. The Body Controller also controls the headlamp doors
when the Passing Lights (manually flashing bright
lights) are used. With the headlamp switch turned off,
actuating the headlamp dimmer switch will signal the
Body Controller to open the headlamp doors. The oper-
ator then has two seconds to flash the bright lights be-
fore the Body Controller closes the headlamp doors.
Holding the headlamp dimmer switch in the engaged
position will signal the Body Controller to keep the
headlamp doors open until the dimmer switch is re-
leased. Actuating the headlamp dimmer switch with the
parking lamps ON signals the Body Controller to open
the headlamp doors and keep them open until the head-
lamp switch is turned off.
AY and AC vehicles use a single motor, centrally
located behind the radiator grille, and linked to the
headlamp doors by a torsion bar. Refer to Service
Procedures for more information. The headlamp door drive motors are equipped with
a manual override hand wheel to open or close the
headlamp doors if a failure should occur or servicing
is required. Access to the handwheel can be gained
through a flap covered hole in the sight shield be-
hind the bumper fascia, and under the hood. Several
revolutions of the handwheel may be required to
move the headlamp doors.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
Before diagnosing a problem with the headlamp
doors, check for possible collision damage, binding,
improperly installed assemblies, or freezing weather
conditions. When diagnosing an electrical problem, refer to:
² The Concealed Headlamps Electrical Diagnosis
chart in this section.
² The Wiring Diagrams Manual.
² The Headlamp Doors System section of the appro-
priate Body Diagnostic Procedures Manual.

CONTROL SWITCH/TIMER RELAY MODULE . . 1
GENERAL INFORMATION .................. 1REPAIR GRID LINES, TERMINALS AND PIGTAILS.3
SERVICE PROCEDURES ................... 1
GENERAL INFORMATION
For proper operation of the Rear Window Defogger
system refer to the Owner's Manual. Vehicles equipped with an electrically heated rear
window defogger also have a 40/90 amp generator. The system consists of a rear glass with two verti-
cal bus bars and a series of electrically connected
grid lines fired on the inside surface. A control
switch and a timer relay combined into a single as-
sembly is used on all models (Fig.1).
Circuit protection is provided by a fusible link, lo-
cated in the charging circuit, for the heated grid cir-
cuit and by a fuse for the relay control circuit. When the switch is turned to the ON position, cur-
rent is directed to the rear defogger grid lines. The
heated grid lines heat the rear glass to clear the sur-
face of fog or frost.
CAUTION: Grid lines can be damaged or scraped
off with sharp instruments, care should be taken in
cleaning glass or removing foreign materials, de-
cals or stickers. Normal glass cleaning solvents or
hot water used with rags or toweling is recom-
mended.
CONTROL SWITCH/TIMER RELAY MODULE
The control switch and timer relay are integrated
into a single panel or console mounted assembly. Ac-
tuating the switch energizes the circuit which allows
current to flow through the grid lines. Upon initial
actuation for approximately ten minutes, or until ei-
ther the switch or ignition is turned off. An indicat-
ing lamp illuminates a lens inlaid in the control
switch.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
Electrically heated rear window defogger operation
can be checked in vehicle in the following manner: (1) Turn ignition ON.
(2) Turn rear window defogger control switch ON.
(3) Using a ammeter on the battery. Turn the De-
fogger control switch ON, a distinct increase in am-
perage 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 can be detected in three to four minutes
of operation. (5) Using a DC voltmeter (Fig. 2) contact terminal
B with the negative lead, and terminal A with the
positive lead. The voltmeter should read 10-14 volts.

Fig. 2 Rear Glass Grid Line TestÐTypical
Ä REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER 8N - 1
Page 692 of 2438

(6) Steps (3, 4 or 5) above will confirm system op-
eration. Indicator light illumination means that
there is power available at the output of the relay
only, and does not necessarily verify system opera-
tion. (7) If turning the switch ON produced no distinct
current draw on the ammeter the problem should be
isolated in the following manner: (a) Confirm the ignition switch is ON.
(b) Ensure that the heated rear glass feed wire is
connected to the terminal or pigtail and that the
ground wire is in fact grounded. (c) Ensure that the fusible link and control cir-
cuit fuse is operational and all electrical connec-
tions are secure.
(8) When the above steps have been completed and
the system is still inoperative, one or more of the fol-
lowing is defective: (a) Control switch/timer relay module.
(b) All rear window grid lines would have to be
broken or one of the feed wires are not connected
for the system to be inoperative.
(9) If turning the switch ON produces severe volt-
meter deflection, the circuit should be closely
checked for a shorting condition. (10) If the system operation has been verified but
indicator lamp does not light, replace the switch. (11) For detailed wiring information, refer to group
8W, Wiring Diagrams.
GRID TEST
The horizontal grid lines and vertical bus bar lines
printed and fired on inside surface of rear window
glass (Fig. 2) comprise an electrical parallel circuit.
The electrically conductive lines are composed of a
silver-ceramic material which when fired on glass be-
comes bonded to the glass and is highly resistant to
abrasion. It is possible, however, that a break may
occur in an individual grid line resulting in no cur-
rent flow through the line. To detect breaks in grid
lines the following procedure is required: (1) Turn ignition ON and turn control switch to
ON. The indicator light should come on. (2) Using a DC voltmeter with 0-15 volt range,
contact terminal B with negative lead of voltmeter.
With positive lead of voltmeter, contact terminal A
(Fig. 2). The voltmeter should read 10-14 volts. A
lower voltage reading indicates a poor ground con-
nection. (3) With negative lead of voltmeter, contact a good
body ground point. The voltage reading should not
change. (4) Connect negative lead of voltmeter to terminal
B and touch each grid line at Mid-Point with Posi-
tive lead. A reading of approximately 6 volts indi-
cates a line is good. A reading of 0 volts indicates a
break in line between Mid-Point C and terminal A.
A reading of 10-14 volts indicates a break between Mid-Point C and terminal B. Move toward break and
voltage will change as soon as break is crossed (Figs.
2 and 3).
CONTROL SWITCH/TIMER RELAY MODULE TEST
Control switch/timer relay module may be tested
in-vehicle or bench tested. In vehicle testing is ac-
complished in the following manner: (1) Remove the switch, relay assembly from the in-
strument panel or console, see Group 8E, Instrument
Panel and leave the switch connector plugged in. (2) Turn ignition ON.
(3) Using a DC voltmeter, with 0-15 range, check
voltage at terminals B, I and L. (Figs. 3 and 4). Ter-
minals B and I should confirm a voltage of 10 to 14
volts to ground when the ON switch is pressed. Ter-
minal L should confirm voltage to ground. When ter-
minals B and I show no voltage, trace circuit
upstream of switch/relay module for problem (wiring
cut, fusible link or circuit breaker inoperative, bulk-
head connector not operative, etc.) If terminal L in-
dicates voltage, place switch in Off position. If
voltage at L is still indicated or indicator lamp re-
mains on, the switch/relay module should be re-
placed. (4) If the relay checks out to this point, momen-
tarily operate switch to ON position. The indicator
lamp should come on and remain on for approxi-
mately 10 minutes. Terminal L should confirm volt-
age. If the indicator lamp fails to light or voltage at
terminal L is not confirmed the switch/relay module
should be replaced.

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
OPERATION
The transmitter has three buttons for operation
(Fig. 11).
² UNLOCK driver's door, enable illuminated entry,
and disarm the Theft Security System. Pushing and
releasing the button once will unlock the driver's
door. Two times within five seconds all doors will un-
lock.
² LOCK all doors, set Theft Security System and
chirp horn. Chirp of horn is a short toot to notify
that the alarm system is set and the indicator lamp
on the instrument panel will flash for about 15 sec-
onds.
² Unlock Trunk Lid
² The receiver is capable of retaining VAC even
when power is removed.
² Each receiver must have at least one and no more
than two transmitters.
CONTROL RANGE
Operation range is within 7 meters (23 ft.) of the
receiver.
TRANSMITTER BATTERY
The battery can be removed without special tools
and are readily available at local retail stores. The
recommended battery is Duracell DL 2016 or equiv-
alent. Battery life is about one to two years.
PROGRAM REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
(1) Remove trim cover or floor console as needed
that may be covering the Air Bag System Diagnostic
Module (ASDM). (2) Pull floor carpeting back between the accelera-
tor peddle and ASDM. (3) Locate program line a dark green wire with a
insulator on the end. Located between the accelerator
and (ASDM). (4) Turn ignition switch to the ON position.
(5) Connect the program line from the Remote
Keyless Entry Module to ground. The door locks will
lock and unlock to indicate the receiver is ready to
receive transmitter code. Trunk solenoid will not cy-
cle. (6) Press any button on the transmitter to set code.
If there is a second transmitter it has to be set at
this time. The locks will cycle to confirm program-
ming. (7) Disconnect the program line from ground. This
returns the system to its normal operation mode. (8) Replace trim cover or floor console as neces-
sary.
HORN CHIRP CANCELLATION
During the programming operation the horn chirp
can be disabled using the following procedures: (1) Remove trim cover or floor console as needed
that may be covering the Air Bag System Diagnostic
Module (ASDM). (2) Pull floor carpeting back between the accelera-
tor peddle and ASDM. (3) Locate program line a dark green wire with a
insulator on the end. Located between the accelerator
and (ASDM). (4) Turn ignition switch ON.
(5) Connect the program line from the Remote
Keyless Entry Module to ground. The door locks will
lock and unlock to indicate the receiver is ready to
receive transmitter code. Trunk solenoid will not cy-
cle. (6) Press any button on the transmitter to set code.
If there is a second transmitter it has to be set at
this time. The locks will cycle to confirm program-
ming. (7) Press LOCK then UNLOCK transmitter but-
tons repeat three times. (8) Door locks and rear release will cycle three
times as feedback of Horn Chirp lockout. (9) Remove ground from program line to restore
normal system operation. (10) To reinstate the Horn Chirp feature refer to
Program Remote Keyless Entry.
TESTING
CONDITION: When trying to program the receiver
module in the vehicle with a new transmitter and
