STEERING WHEEL OR COLUMN REMOVAL PROCE-
DURES.
Whenever a wiper motor malfunction occurs, first
verify that the wiper motor wire harness is properly
connected to all connectors before starting normal di-
agnosis and repair procedures. Refer to Wiper Motor
Diagnosis Chart (Fig. 9). The following is a list of general wiper motor sys-
tem problems, the tests that are to be performed to
locate the faulty part, and the corrective action to be
taken. These tests will cover both two speed and in-
termittent wipe functions.
TWO SPEED MOTOR FUNCTION TESTS
CONDITION: MOTOR WILL NOT RUN IN ANY SWITCH POSITION
PROCEDURE
(1) Check for a blown fuse in the fuse block. (a) If fuse is good, proceed to step 2.
(b) If fuse is defective, replace and check motor
operation in all switch positions. (c) If motor is still inoperative and the fuse does
not blow, proceed to step 2. (d) If replacement fuse blows, proceed to step 5.
(2) Place switch in LOW speed position.
(3) Listen to motor. If you cannot hear it running,
proceed to Step 4. If you hear it running, check motor
output shaft. If output shaft is not turning, replace
motor assembly. If it is turning, drive link to output
shaft or linkage is not properly connected. Replace
worn parts and/or properly connect drive link to the
motor output shaft. (4) Connect a voltmeter between motor terminal 3
and ground strap (Fig. 10). If there is no voltage or very
little voltage (less than one volt) present, move nega-
tive test lead from the ground strap to negative battery
terminal. (a) If an increase in voltage is noticed, the problem
is a bad ground circuit. Make sure the motor mount-
ing is free of paint and that nuts or bolts are tight. (b) If there is still no indication of voltage, the
problem is an open circuit in the wiring harness or
wiper switch. (c) If no more than 3 volts increase in voltage is
observed, the problem is a faulty motor assembly.
(5) Disconnect motor wiring connector and replace
fuse. (a) If fuse does not blow, motor is defective.
(b) If fuse blows, switch or wiring is at fault.

GENERAL INFORMATION
All doors can be locked or unlocked electrically by
operating the switch on a front door panel or arm
rest. The rear doors can be locked or unlocked by actu-
ation of the front door switch, or can be locked or un-
locked mechanically and independently with their
respective locking knobs. The front doors can be locked or unlocked mechan-
ically with the locking knob regardless of electrical
locking and unlocking actuation with the front door
knobs. The right and left front door on all car lines can be
locked or unlocked mechanically from the outside
with the key or electrically as described above. The
left front can also be unlocked by actuation of the in-
side remote door handle. The right front door on AC,
AG, AJ and AY can be unlocked by actuation of the
inside remote door handle. The deck lid lock consists of a latch with internal
solenoid and push button switch. The solenoid is en-
ergized only when the push button is depressed.
DOOR LOCK INHIBIT
The power door lock inhibit system prevents the
doors from being locked using the power door locks
when either of two conditions occur: (1) The key is in the ignition switch and any of the
doors are open. The ignition switch does not have to
be ON. (2) The key is in the ignition switch and the head-
lamp are on.
KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
The system allows locking and unlocking of vehicle
door(s) and Trunk lid by remote control using a hand
held radio transmitter. The ignition switch must be
OFF before the trunk lid can be unlocked with the
transmitter. The receiver may receive signals from two trans-
mitters. Each transmitter has its own code, and the
code has been stored in memory. If the transmitter is
replaced or a second transmitter is add, the code on
both units have to be placed in memory.
CIRCUIT BREAKER TEST
Find correct circuit breaker on fuse block. Pull out
slightly but be sure that circuit breaker terminals
still contact terminals in fuse block. Connect ground
wire of voltmeter to a good ground. With probe of
voltmeter positive wire, check both terminals of cir-
cuit breaker for 12 volts. If only one terminal checks
at 12 volts, circuit breaker is defective and must be
replaced. If neither terminal shows 12 volts, check
for open or shorted circuit to circuit breaker.
WIRING VOLTAGE TEST
The following wiring test sequence determines
whether or not voltage is continuous through the
body harness to switch. (1) Remove left side switch from trim panel.
(2) Carefully separate multiple terminal block on
wiring harness from switch body. (3) Connect one lead of test light to a ground ter-
minal:
² Black Wire AA and AC Bodies
² Gray wire AG and AJ Bodies
² Touch other test light lead to Red Wire terminal.
² If test light comes on, the wiring circuit between
the battery and switch is functional.
² If test light does not come on, check 30 amp circuit
breaker or for a open circuit.
SWITCH TEST
Remove the switch from its mounting location. Us-
ing an ohmmeter, refer to (Fig. 1) to determine if
continuity is correct in the Lock and Unlock switch
positions. If these results are not obtained, replace
the switch.

(1) Be sure that the module has a battery feed
from the 20 Amp breaker in cavity 1 of the black
connector. Also affected would be the optical horn
and the stop lamps. (2) Be sure that the module has an ignition feed
from 5 Amp fuse in cavity 8 of the black connector.
Also affected would be the body computer, instru-
ment cluster and message center. (3) Be sure that the module has a ground from the
right side cowl behind the body computer to the cav-
ity 5 of the black connector. (4) Be sure that you are supplying a good ground
to the programming wire. (5) If the above circuits are good, replace the Re-
ceiver Module. CONDITION: Doors can be locked or unlocked with
the Keyless Entry transmitter. But the doors will not
lock. The Vehicle Theft Alarm system will not arm,
when using only the power door LOCK switch in the
driver's door. (1) Be sure you have not left key in the ignition
column lock cylinder. (2) If step 1 is OK, check the Key in Lock switch
circuit in the steering column for a short to ground. (3) In this problem the body computer controls the
LOCK function. Be sure that it is providing a battery
voltage output to the door lock relay. The door lock
relay controls the door lock motors. CONDITION: Doors will lock but Vehicle Theft
System will not arm when using the transmitter. (1) The Keyless Entry Receiver Module controls
the door lock signal to the door lock relay. The door
lock relay controls the door lock motors. Check for
battery voltage at cavity 10 of the Theft Alarm mod-
ule from the Receiver module. (2) If voltage is OK, replace Receiver module.
CONDITION: All doors except driver's door will
lock with the transmitter. (1) Test the driver's door output of the Receiver
Module for a ground. (2) If there is no ground at the pin, replace the Re-
ceiver module. (3) If there is a ground at the output, replace the
door lock motor. CONDITION: Only driver's door will lock with the
transmitter.
² Repair ground circuit to unlock relay
² Replace unlock relay
CONDITION: Doors do not lock with the transmit-
ter, but still get horn CHIRP that indicates that they
did lock. Replace Receiver module. CONDITION: Doors will lock with the transmitter
but there is no horn CHIRP. (1) Press horn button, listen horn sound.
(2) If the horn sounded, change horn relay. (3) Still no CHIRP, check continuity between the
horn relay and the receiver output pin. Repair as
necessary. (4) Still no horn CHIRP, replace the receiver mod-
ule. (5) If using a DRB II, refer to Body Diagnostic Pro-
cedures.

GENERAL INFORMATION
JUMP-STARTING, VEHICLE EQUIPPED
WITH THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM . After the
booster battery has been connected, the Theft System
must be turned OFF. Using the key, lock then un-
lock either front door. This turns the Theft System
OFF and the remainder of the Jump-Starting proce-
dure can be followed. If this procedure is not followed, the Theft System
electronics will prevent the engine from starting. If a new Powertrain Control Module is installed,
the engine has to be cranked 20 times before the
alarm system activated. This passive system is designed to protect against
whole vehicle theft. The system monitors vehicle
doors, hood, trunk key cylinder, and ignition action
for unauthorized operation. The alarm activates by
sounding the horn, flashing the park and tail lamps,
and providing an engine kill feature (Fig. 1). Passive arming occurs upon normal vehicle exit,
open door, lock with power locks, close door. The SET
lamp in the panel will flash for 15 seconds, indicat-
ing that arming is in progress. If no monitored sys-
tems are activated during this period, the system
will arm. If the hood or trunk key cylinder switches
are not sensed by the system. The SET lamp will re-
main lit during the arming process, although the sys-
tem will still arm. The system is to be considered as
an active armed system when using the Remote Key-
less Entry. If the SET lamp does not illuminate at all
upon door closing it indicates that the system is not
arming. Passive disarming occurs upon normal vehicle en-
try unlocking either door with the key, or unlocking
using the Remote Keyless transmitter. This disarm-
ing will also halt the alarm once it has been acti-
vated. Whenever the battery is disconnected and recon-
nected, the Vehicle Theft Security System enters
power up alarm mode which flashes the park and tail
lamps and prevents the engine from running. To exit
this mode, the system must be disarmed as men-
tioned above. A tamper alert exists to notify the driver that the
alarm had been activated, and the alarm has since
timed-out for more than 18 minutes. This alert con-
sists of 3 horn pulses when the vehicle is disarmed. The alarm system will not arm if the doors are
manually locked, providing a manual override of the
alarm.
WHAT WILL TRIGGER THE SYSTEM
One of the following actions will trigger the system
while it is armed. Without properly disarming sys-
tem, by using the key or the remote transmitter. (1) Opening the HOOD.
(2) Opening any DOOR.
(3) Removing the TRUNK KEY CYLINDER.
(4) Turning the IGNITION ON.
(5) The ignition switch can be turned to the acces-
sory position without triggering alarm system.
SYSTEM SELF-TESTS
A diagnostics mode is available in the system to
verify operation of all monitored switches or circuits.
To enter diagnostics, cycle the ignition key to the ac-
cessory position 3 times, leaving the key in this po-
sition. Upon entering diagnostics, the park and tail lamps
will begin flashing to verify their operation. In addi-
tion, the horn will sound twice to indicate that the
trunk key cylinder is in its proper position. Return-
ing the ignition to the OFF position will stop the
lamps from flashing while keeping the system in di-
agnostics. While in diagnostics mode, a horn pulse should oc-
cur at each of the following events indicating proper
operation: (1) Beginning with all doors closed, open then close
each door. The horn will sound when the door ajar
switch closes, and then again when the switch opens.
There must b e a 1 second delay between closing and
opening the switch. (2) Open, then close the hood. The horn will sound
when the hood is opened, and again when it is closed.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Power seats can be adjusted in six different direc-
tions up, down, forward, back, tilt forward, or tilt
rearward. A three armature permanent magnet reversible mo-
tor is coupled through cables to worm gear box assem-
blies located in the seat tracks, providing the various
seat movements. The electrical circuit is protected by a 30 amp circuit
breaker located on the fuse block.
TEST PROCEDURES
Before any testing is attempted the battery should be
carefully charged and all connections and terminals
cleaned and tightened to insure proper continuity and
grounds. With dome lamp on, apply switch in direction of
failure. If dome lamp dims the seat motor is trying to
work indicating mechanical jamming. If dome lamp
does not dim, then proceed with the following electrical
tests.
CIRCUIT BREAKER TEST
Find correct circuit breaker on fuse block. Pull out
slightly but be sure that circuit breaker terminals still
contact terminals in fuse block. Connect ground wire of
voltmeter to a good ground. With probe of voltmeter
positive wire, check both terminals of circuit breaker
for battery voltage. If only one terminal checks at
battery voltage, circuit breaker is defective and must
be replaced. If neither terminal shows battery voltage,
check for open or shorted circuit to circuit breaker.
HARNESS VOLTAGE TEST
The following test will determine whether or not
voltage is continuous through the body harness to the
switch. (1) Remove power seat switch from mounting posi-
tion and disconnect switch from wiring harness. (2) Connect one lead of test light to ground terminal,
black wire (BK) of center section, and touch other test
light lead to red wire (RD) terminal. (3) If test light comes on, harness to switch is good.
If test light does not come on, perform circuit breaker
test.
MOTOR TESTS
AA BODY
(1) Remove switch from mounting position and dis-
connect from harness. (2) To check the center motor, connect a jumper wire
between pin 5 and pin 3 (Fig. 1). Connect a second
jumper wire between pin 7 and pin 4 If motor does not
operate, reverse the jumpers, pin 5 to pin 4 and pin 7 to
pin 3. If motor still does not operate check wiring
between switch connector and motor assembly. If wir-
ing checks good replace motor assembly. (3) To check the front motor, connect a jumper wire
between pin 5 and pin 1 (Fig. 1). Connect a second
jumper wire between pin 7 and pin 8. If motor does not
operate, reverse the jumpers, pin 5 to pin 8 and pin 7 to
pin 1. If motor still does not operate check wiring
between switch connector and motor assembly. If wir-
ing checks good replace motor assembly.
(4) To check the rear motor, connect a covered jumper
wire between pin 5 and pin 6 (Fig. 1). Connect a second

ity 9 and pin 7 of the control module 25-way connec-
tor. The vehicle speed sensor signal can be tested
with a volt/ohmmeter at pin 7 of the control module
25-way connector. Turn on the vehicle ignition and
check fo r a 5 volt signal as the vehicle is moved
about 3 to 5 feet. If not repair open wiring, terminal
push out, bad crimp, drive in vehicle speed sensor,
etc., as necessary to correct condition. Ensure that
the 25-way connector is plugged into the control
module securely. Road test vehicle after repairs have
been made to ensure that no recalls can occur while
moving.
CONDITION: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SPEEDOMETER STAYS AT 0 MPH/ (0 KM/H)WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING, BODYCOMPUTER DOES NOT LOCK DOORS AT 15MPH (24 KM/H), AND THE SPEED CONTROLWILL NOT ACCEPT A SPEED SET.
PROCEDURE
(1) Remove driver's seat anchor bolts and nuts. Ad-
just the driver's seat to a safe driving position. Dis-
connect the 25-way connector from the memory seat
control module. Replace the driver's seat anchor bolts
and nuts. Road test the vehicle to complete this diag-
nosis. If the doors lock, the cruise control accepts a
set, and the speedometer now works, replace the
Memory Seat control module. (2) After replacing the Memory Seat control mod-
ule, perform the memory seat diagnostic self tests.
This teaches the new module it's soft limits and now
re-road test the vehicle before returning it to the cus-
tomer.
CONDITION: NO SEAT MOVEMENT IN THE RECALL MODE, SEAT WILL MOVE BYMANUAL SWITCH ACTUATION IN ALLDIRECTIONS WITHOUT STALL DETECTION.
PROCEDURE
(1) Check for 5 volts at pin 10 of the control mod-
ule 25-way connector. This is the 5 volt feed from the
control module to the seat track position sensing po-
tentiometer. (2) Check for ground at pin 8 of the control module
25-way connector. To test for ground, one lead of the
voltmeter must be connected to either the 5 volt sup-
ply for the control module or the battery positive. If
the sense voltage and ground are NOT present at the
above pins of the 21-way control module connector.
When the seat switch is pressed, replace the control
module. An inadvertent application of battery volt-
age to the circuit could damaged the control module.
If the voltage and ground circuits are present then
continue this procedure. (3) Check for 5 volts at pin 5 of the natural 5-way
connector plugged into the power seat adjuster mo-
tors end-bell. (4) Check for ground at pin 4 of the natural 5-way
connector plugged into the power seat adjuster mo-
tors end-bell. If the power seat adjuster still has no
movement in the recall mode, then continue this pro-
cedure. (5) Disconnect the natural 5-way connector from
the power seat adjuster motors end-bell. (6) Check with an ohmmeter for a resistance read-
ing that may be from 2600 to 4000 ohms between
pins 4 and 5 of the motors end-bell connector. If
there is an open circuit reading or the reading ob-
tained falls outside this range, then replace the seat
motor package assembly. After replacement of the
seat motor package, reconnect all wiring connectors
and reinstall seat assembly in vehicle. Operate the
switches manually to cause maximum seat move-
ment in all directions. Perform the memory seat di-
agnostic self check so the control module will learn
the new soft limits of the assembly.
CONDITION: NO SEAT TRACK FORWARD OR REARWARD MOVEMENT IN THE RECALLMODE, SEAT TRACK WILL MOVE FORWARDOR REARWARD BY MANUAL SWITCHACTUATION WITHOUT STALL DETECTION.
PROCEDURE
(1) Check for a voltage at pin 12 of the control
module 21-way connector. Less than 5 volts for the
seat track fully forward and more than 0 volts when
fully rearward. This voltage should vary correspond-
ing to the position. (2) Check for a voltage at pin 1 of the natural
5-way connector, Same as in step (1) above. The
ground lead connected to pin 4 of the 5-way connec-
tor. If the voltage reading is at 0 volts, disconnect
the 5-way natural connector and check for a short to
ground in the harness. If no short is found, reconnect
the connector and continue the procedure. (3) Check for the voltage to vary as noted above, if
it does not vary as the seat track is moved forward
and rearward, the sensing potentiometer is defective.
Replace the seat motor package assembly. After re-
placement of the seat motor package, reconnect all
wiring connectors and reinstall seat assembly in ve-
hicle. Operate the switches manually to cause maxi-
mum seat movement in all directions. Perform the
memory seat diagnostic self check so the control
module will learn the new soft limits of the assem-
bly.
Ä POWER SEATS 8R - 13

(3) Use an ohmmeter to test the wiring between
the door switch and the control module in the driv-
er's seat. The circuits should be disconnected from
their components at each end. Repair the wiring as
required for open circuits, terminal push outs, or bad
crimps. If the circuits are good to the control module
but the function is still missing, replace the control
module.
CONDITION: NO MOVEMENT OF THE SEAT, RELAYS CAN BE HEARD CLICKING WHENTHE SEAT SWITCH IS ACTIVATED.
PROCEDURE
(1) Check for battery voltage and ground at the ap-
propriate pins of the control module 10-way connec-
tor (Fig. 23). If the proper results are not obtained,
replace the control module. If the circuits are correct,
then continue the procedure.
(2) Check for continuity of the motor circuits from
the control module 10-way connector to the left
power seat motor package (Fig. 24). (3) Repair the wiring as required for open circuits,
terminal push outs, or bad crimps. If the circuits are
good but the seat movement direction is still missing,
replace the seat motor package assembly. After re-
placement of the seat motor package, reconnect all wiring connectors and reinstall seat assembly in ve-
hicle. Operate the switches manually to cause maxi-
mum seat movement in all directions. Perform the
memory seat diagnostic self check so the control
module will learn the new soft limits of the assem-
bly.
CONDITION: NO MOVEMENT OF THE MEMORY MIRRORS WHEN THE POWERMIRROR SWITCH IS ACTUATED, MEMORYMIRRORS MOVE DURING RECALL ONLY.
PROCEDURE
(1) Check for battery voltage at pin 1 of the mem-
ory mirror switch 8-way connector in the driver's
door. This battery feed is through a diode package
that is located in the left cowl side area. A grounded
wire on the switch side of the diode would most
likely cause the diode package to open. Solder and
tape the connections if replacement is necessary. The
fuse is in cavity 13 of the fuse block. (2) Check for ground at pin 5 of the memory mir-
ror switch 8-way connector. Repair as needed. (3) Check for continuity of the memory mirror
switch. Refer to the Group 8T, Mirror Switch Test
Procedure and the Continuity.
