HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - DISC BRAKES (FRONT)
Each front disc brake consists of the following com-
ponents:
²Brake Rotor
²Brake Caliper
²Brake Caliper Adapter
²Shoes (Pads)
There are two non-interchangeable front disc brake
systems depending on whether the vehicle is
equipped with rear drum or rear disc brakes. Vehi-
cles with the front disc/rear drum brake combination
utilize a system manufactured by TRW. Vehicles with
front disc/rear disc brakes utilize a system manufac-
tured by Continental Teves.
CAUTION: Components used on the disc/drum
combination brakes are not interchangeable with
the disc/disc combination brakes. The two different
systems must not be mixed. Improper performance,
noise and increased stopping distance can occur.
The TRW front brake caliper is a one piece casting
containing a single 64 mm diameter piston bore (Fig.
13) with a phenolic piston. The caliper mounts to a
caliper adapter using two guide pin bolts that thread
into guide pins slid into the caliper adapter (Fig. 14).
The pins are lubricated and have boots that seal
them in place in the adapter.
The Continental Teves front brake caliper is a one
piece casting containing a single piston 66 mm diam-
eter bore (Fig. 13) with a phenolic piston. The caliper
mounts to a caliper adapter using two guide pin bolts
that thread into the caliper adapter and slide on
bushings mounted in the caliper.
CAUTION: TRW and Continental Teves calipers are
not interchangeable. Each caliper is specifically
designed for the unique brake system. If calipers
are interchanged, improper performance, noise and
increased stopping distance can occur.
The two different brake calipers use different
devices to control rattling. While the TRW brakes use
spring clips that mount at the ends of the shoes in
the adapters, Continental Teves brakes use a clip on
the rear of the inboard pad to hold it to the pistonand a larger clip on the outside of the caliper, holding
it to the adapter (Fig. 15).
All brake caliper adapters mount to the steering
knuckle in the same way using two mounting bolts.
The brake rotors are also different depending on
brake system. The TRW (disc/drum) front brakes uti-
lize an inverted-hat style rotor. This rotor is exter-
nally vented meaning the inner most diameter of the
braking disc vents to the outboard side (or face) of
the rotor (Fig. 16). The Continental Teves (disc/disc)

PEDAL - ADJUSTABLE
DESCRIPTION
The Adjustable Pedals System (APS) is designed to
enable the fore and aft repositioning of the brake and
accelerator pedals. This results in improved ergonom-
ics in relation to the steering wheel for taller and
shorter drivers. Being able to adjust the pedal posi-
tions also allows the driver to set steering wheel tilt
and seat position to the most comfortable position.
The effort required for pedal application will not
change regardless of pedal position.
The adjustable pedal system allows the pedals to
adjust up to 3 inches (75 mm) at a rate of approxi-
mately 0.4 in./sec. (9 mm/sec.). An adjustment switch
is located on the left side of the steering column
lower shroud.
If the vehicle is equipped with Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE), an optional memory feature is avail-
able.
The serviceable components of the APS are:
²Adjustable pedal assembly (includes motor,
cables, pedals, gear box, sensor and module)
²Adjustable pedal module (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/
ADJUSTABLE PEDAL MODULE)
²Adjustable pedal switch
²Pedal position sensor
OPERATION
Change of pedal position is accomplished by means
of a motor driven screw. Operating the adjustable
pedal switch activates the pedal drive motor. The
pedal drive motor turns a screw that changes the
position of the accelerator pedal. The motor also
drives a cable connected to a gear box that changes
the brake pedal position the same distance as the
accelerator pedal. The pedals can be moved rearward
(closer to the driver) or forward (away from driver).
Each pedal is moved on its activating lever to a posi-
tion where the driver feels most comfortable. The
position and operation of the activating levers are not
changed.
Pedal adjustment is inhibited when the vehicle is
in reverse or when cruise control is engaged. The
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will
display a message when the Adjustable Pedal Module
(APM) is disabled. i.e.:9Adjustable Pedal Disabled -
Cruise Control Engaged9or9Adjustable Pedal Dis-
abled - Vehicle in Reverse9.
Foot pressure or debris can stall pedal adjustment.
In order to avoid damage to system components dur-

ing pedal adjustment, the APM will monitor pedal
position sensor voltage. If the APM does not detect
expected voltage change within 3 seconds, it will cut
power to the adjustable pedal motor.
An optional memory feature is available. This
allows storing of one or two preferred pedal positions
in the APS. A preferred position can be stored and
recalled using the door-mounted switches. A stored
pedal position can be recalled (but not stored) using
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) if equipped with
the memory feature.

RADIO NOISE SUPPRESSION
COMPONENTS
DESCRIPTION
Radio noise suppression devices are factory-in-
stalled standard equipment on this vehicle. Radio
Frequency Interference (RFI) and ElectroMagnetic
Interference (EMI) can be produced by any on-board
or external source of electromagnetic energy. These
electromagnetic energy sources can radiate electro-
magnetic signals through the air, or conduct them
through the vehicle electrical system.
When the audio system converts RFI or EMI to an
audible acoustic wave form, it is referred to as radionoise. This undesirable radio noise is generally man-
ifested in the form of ªbuzzing,º ªhissing,º ªpopping,º
ªclicking,º ªcrackling,º and/or ªwhirringº sounds. In
most cases, RFI and EMI radio noise can be sup-
pressed using a combination of vehicle and compo-
nent grounding, filtering and shielding techniques.
This vehicle is equipped with factory-installed radio
noise suppression devices that were designed to min-
imize exposure to typical sources of RFI and EMI;
thereby, minimizing radio noise complaints.
Factory-installed radio noise suppression is accom-
plished primarily through circuitry or devices that
are integral to the factory-installed radios, audio
power amplifiers and other on-board electrical com-
ponents such as generators, wiper motors, blower
motors, and fuel pumps that have been found to be
potential sources of RFI or EMI.
OPERATION
There are two common strategies that can be used
to suppress Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and
ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) radio noise. The
first suppression strategy involves preventing the
production of RFI and EMI electromagnetic signals
at their sources. The second suppression strategy
involves preventing the reception of RFI and EMI
electromagnetic signals by the audio system compo-
nents.
The use of braided ground straps in key locations
is part of the RFI and EMI prevention strategy.
These ground straps ensure adequate ground paths,
particularly for high current components such as
many of those found in the starting, charging, igni-
tion, engine control and transmission control sys-
tems. An insufficient ground path for any of these
high current components may result in radio noise
caused by induced voltages created as the high cur-
rent seeks alternative ground paths through compo-
nents or circuits intended for use by, or in close
proximity to the audio system components or circuits.
Preventing the reception of RFI and EMI is accom-
plished by ensuring that the audio system compo-
nents are correctly installed in the vehicle. Loose,
corroded or improperly soldered wire harness connec-
tions, improperly routed wiring and inadequate audio
system component grounding can all contribute to
the reception of RFI and EMI. A properly grounded
antenna body and radio chassis, as well as a shielded
antenna coaxial cable with clean and tight connec-
tions will each help reduce the potential for reception
of RFI and EMI.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DOME LAMP ON
CHIME
The dome lamp on chime will warn the driver that
the dome lamps have been left on.When the ignition is OFF and the key is out of the
ignition:
²Driver's door OPEN (door ajar switch is closed to
ground) and
²Dome lamps are ON (dome lamp switch is closed
to ground),
The chime will sound continuously until the driv-
ers door is closed, dome lamps turned OFF or until
the battery protection time out of 15 minutes has
expired. Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per minute.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ENGINE
TEMPERATURE CRITICAL CHIME
The engine temperature critical chime will warn
the driver that the vehicle's engine is overheating.
While monitoring the coolant temperature, the Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM) will send on the PCI
data bus as engine temperature every 1.376 seconds
to the cluster. The MIC calculates engine tempera-
ture and determines if a warning should occur. This
feature is functional only with the Ignition Switch in
the Run/Start position.
When the engine temperature reaches 122ÉC
(252ÉF) the MIC requests a chime from the BCM and
the engine temperature lamp comes ON. The MIC
turns OFF the lamp when the engine temperature
reaches 117ÉC (242ÉF). The MIC will chime continu-
ously (request from the BCM). The chime will turn
OFF after four minutes or when the temperature
reaches 117ÉC (242ÉF), which ever occurs first.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - EXTERIOR LAMPS
ON CHIME
The exterior lamp on chime will warn the driver
that the exterior lights have been left on.
With the ignition switch OFF/key out of ignition:
²Driver's door is open (door ajar switch is closed
to ground)
²Parking lamps or headlamps ON (parking lamp
switch is closed to ground)
The chime will sound until lights are turned OFF,
driver's door closed or until the battery protection
time out of 3 minutes has expired.
Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per minute.
To test the exterior lamps left on function:
²Turn ignition off
²Remove ignition key
²Turn exterior lamps on with driver's door open.
Chime should sound until lamps are turned off or
