IOD FUSE
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) fuse that is removed from its normal
cavity in the Integrated Power Module (IPM) when
the vehicle is shipped from the factory. Dealer per-
sonnel are to remove the IOD fuse from the storage
location and install it into the IPM fuse cavity
marked IOD as part of the preparation procedures
performed just prior to new vehicle delivery.
The IOD fuse is a 20 ampere blade-type mini fuse
and, when removed, it is stored in a fuse cavity adja-
cent to the washer fuse within the IPM.
OPERATION
The term ignition-off draw (IOD) identifies a nor-
mal condition where power is being drained from the
battery with the ignition switch in the Off position.
The IOD fuse feeds the memory and sleep mode func-
tions for some of the electronic modules in the vehicle
as well as various other accessories that require bat-
tery current when the ignition switch is in the Off
position, including the clock. The only reason the
IOD fuse is removed is to reduce the normal IOD of
the vehicle electrical system during new vehicle
transportation and pre-delivery storage to reduce
battery depletion, while still allowing vehicle opera-
tion so that the vehicle can be loaded, unloaded and
moved as needed by both vehicle transportation com-
pany and dealer personnel.
The IOD fuse is removed from the Integrated
Power Module (IPM) fuse cavity when the vehicle is
shipped from the assembly plant. Dealer personnel
must install the IOD fuse when the vehicle is being
prepared for delivery in order to restore full electrical
system operation. Once the vehicle is prepared for
delivery, the IOD function of this fuse becomes trans-
parent and the fuse that has been assigned the IOD
designation becomes only another Fused B(+) circuit
fuse. The IOD fuse serves no useful purpose to the
dealer technician in the service or diagnosis of any
vehicle system or condition, other than the same pur-
pose as that of any other standard circuit protection
device.
The IOD fuse can be used by the vehicle owner as
a convenient means of reducing battery depletion
when a vehicle is to be stored for periods not to
exceed approximately thirty days. However, it mustbe remembered that removing the IOD fuse will not
eliminate IOD, but only reduce this normal condition.
If a vehicle will be stored for more than thirty days,
the battery negative cable should be disconnected to
eliminate normal IOD; and, the battery should be
tested and recharged at regular intervals during the
vehicle storage period to prevent the battery from
becoming discharged or damaged.
POWER OUTLET
DESCRIPTION
Two power outlets are installed in the instrument
panel center lower bezel. Two additional power out-
lets are incorporated into the left rear C-pillar and
the center console (if equipped). The power outlets
bases are secured by a snap fit. A hinged plug flips
closed to conceal and protect the power outlet base
when not in use.
OPERATION
The power outlet base or receptacle shell is con-
nected to ground, and an insulated contact in the
bottom of the shell is connected to battery current.
The power outlet on the instrument panel marked
with a battery receives battery voltage from a fuse in
the Integrated Power Module (IPM) at all times. The
other power outlet on the instrument panel marked
with a key receives battery voltage only when the
key is in the on position.
The power outlet located in the center console
receives battery voltage all the time when positioned
between thefront seatsand key-on voltage when
positioned between therear seats. The power outlet
located on the C-pillar receives battery voltage only
when the key is in the ON position.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS & TESTING - POWER OUTLET
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, REFER TO RESTRAINTS BEFORE ATTEMPT-
ING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN,
SEAT OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAG-
NOSIS OR SERVICE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE
PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCI-
DENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
(1) Check the fused B(+) fuse in the Integrated
Power Module (IPM). If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK,
repair the shorted circuit or component as required
and replace the faulty fuse.

CYLINDER-TO-CYLINDER LEAKAGE TEST
To determine if an engine cylinder head gasket is
leaking between adjacent cylinders, follow the proce-
dures in Cylinder Compression Pressure Test (Refer
to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). An
engine cylinder head gasket leaking between adja-
cent cylinders will result in approximately a 50±70%
reduction in compression pressure.
CYLINDER-TO-WATER JACKET LEAKAGE TEST
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN THE
ENGINE IS OPERATING WITH COOLANT PRES-
SURE CAP REMOVED.
VISUAL TEST METHOD
With the engine cool, remove the coolant pressure
cap. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until
thermostat opens.
If a large combustion/compression pressure leak
exists, bubbles will be visible in the coolant.
COOLING SYSTEM TESTER METHOD
WARNING: WITH COOLING SYSTEM TESTER IN
PLACE, PRESSURE WILL BUILD UP FAST. EXCES-
SIVE PRESSURE BUILT UP, BY CONTINUOUS
ENGINE OPERATION, MUST BE RELEASED TO A
SAFE PRESSURE POINT. NEVER PERMIT PRES-
SURE TO EXCEED 138 kPa (20 psi).
Install Cooling System Tester 7700 or equivalent to
pressure cap neck. Start the engine and observe the
tester's pressure gauge. If gauge pulsates with every
power stroke of a cylinder a combustion pressure
leak is evident.
CHEMICAL TEST METHOD
Combustion leaks into the cooling system can also
be checked by using Bloc-Chek Kit C-3685-A or
equivalent. Perform test following the procedures
supplied with the tool kit.

preparation must be performed, especially with the
use of aluminum engine components and multi-layer
steel cylinder head gaskets.
NOTE: Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets require
a scratch free sealing surface.
