coming from the module, replace the Memory Seat/
Mirror Module.
²If P9 low current battery is present at (cavity 5)
referenced to ground Z1 (cavity 1) of the seat switch,
verify the presence of the P9 voltage at the switch
outputs. If there is no output voltage from the
switch, replace the switch.
²If P9 voltage is present at the output of the
switch, but there is no reaction from the memory
seat/mirror module, verify that the P9 voltage is
present at the appropriate 21-way connector pins
into the module. If the P9 voltage is not present at
the 21-way connector, repair or replace the seat wir-
ing harness. If the verification check of the seat wir-
ing harness is correct, replace the control module.
(2) If the control module does not respond with a
relay click to a specific seat switch when actuated,
verify the continuity of the particular circuit between
the seat switch and the Memory Seat/Mirror Module.
If the P9 voltage is present at the correct input of the
21-way connector of the module when the switch is
actuated, but there is no response by the module,
replace the Memory Seat/Mirror Module.
(3) If the Memory Seat/Mirror Module responds
with a relay click when a seat switch is actuated for
a given direction, but there is no reaction from a seat
or recliner motor relating to that switch input, dis-
connect the 10-way connector from the control mod-
ule. Jumper the battery and ground from cavities 8
and 7 of the seat harness 10-way connector to the
proper cavities for the seat or recliner motor in ques-
tion and direction of travel desired. If the motor oper-
ates, replace the control module. If the motor does
not operate, verify continuity of the wiring into the
motor 2-way connector. Repair or replace the wiring
as necessary. If the wiring has continuity, and the
motor will not operate when fed directly, replace the
track assembly, since the motor/transmission combi-
nations are not designed to be serviced on an individ-
ual basis.
SEAT AND RECLINER POSITION SENSING
Seat and recliner position sense ground reference
circuit P28 BR/RD feed is from the memory seat/mir-
ror module (cavity 10) 21-way connector to each of
the position sense connectors.
Seat and recliner position sense +5 volt feed circuit
P29 BR/WT feed is from the memory seat/mirror
module (cavity 20) 21-way connector to each of the
position sense connectors.
To test for the presence of a sense voltage, a volt
meter must be used as follows:
²Connect the negative probe to the P28 circuit
(cavity 10) of the 21-way connector.
²Connect the positive probe to the P29 circuit
(cavity 20) of the 21-way connector and verify a volt-age reading between 3.5 and 5 volts when a seat or
recliner switch is activated.An internal timer in
the Memory Seat/Mirror Module (MSM Module)
regulates the length of time this voltage stays
active i.e., 3 seconds from the time that the
switch was activated, unless the switch is held
or while the transmission is out of PARK.If the
voltage is less than 3.5, there is a fault in the system
that is drawing it down. To troubleshoot this circuit,
disconnect the 25-way connector from the MSM Mod-
ule (this removes all of the vehicle mirror circuitry).
If the voltage is still less than 3.5, disconnect each of
the position sense connectors from each of the
motors. If the voltage remains less than 3.5, replace
the MSM Module. If the voltage increases when a
motor is disconnected from the system, determine if
the fault is in the wiring or the motor assembly.
Repair or replace the wire harness assembly as
needed. If the fault is in the motor position sensing
potentiometer, replace the track assembly.
²The potentiometers built onto the motor end-bell
provide voltages to the MSM Module through the
21-way connector, which change as follows, corre-
sponding to the given seat actuations. Refer to Seat
Actuations Table.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE) DATA LINK
The memory seat/mirror module interfaces with
the RKE via a serial data link (single wire). The pro-
gramming sequence to relate an RKE transmitter to
the chosen seat, recliner and side view mirror posi-
tions consists of the following steps:
(1) Adjust the seat, recliner and side view mirrors
to the desired position.
(2) Press momentarily and release memory switch
S.
(3) Press momentarily and release memory switch
1or2.
(4) Press momentarily and release a LOCK button
on an RKE transmitter.
(5) To program the second driver's position, follow
the previous sequence with a second transmitter.
(6) To recall either of the programmed positions
with an RKE transmitter, press momentarily and
release an UNLOCK button on one of the pro-
grammed RKE transmitters.An unprogrammed
RKE transmitter will have no effect on the sys-
tem.
(7) The RKE receiver uses the serial data link to
notify the module of a request from a programmed
transmitter, that an UNLOCK button has been
pressed. This UNLOCK request (from a transmitter
associated with either switch 1 or 2) will activate the

Memory Seat/Mirror Module in the recall mode to
the values that are stored in the module's memory.
(8) Whenever the module receives a specific data
stream from the RKE receiver that involves the pro-
gramming of a new transmitter into the RKE
receiver, the module will clear its nonvolatile memory
seat and recliner values for both memory 1 and 2
and will default to a location consisting of seat track
rearward, seat vertical risers down, and recliner for-
ward in both memory 1 and 2. After this has
occurred, the customer must reprogram their desired
seat and mirror positions.
(9) A recall is possible any time that the vehicle
transmission is in PARK. This condition is monitored
by the Body Control Module (BCM).
(10) A ground placed on the serial data link by the
BCM whenever that the transmission is not in
PARK, will inhibit a recall request from the door
mounted memory switch 1 or 2 or the RKE receiver
that was initiated by either of the validly pro-
grammed transmitters.
NOTE: The module will abort a recall if the trans-
mission is moved out of the PARK position or if any
seat, recliner or memory switch is pressed.REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

With the ignition is OFF:
²Driver's door OPEN (door ajar switch is closed to
ground)
²Dome lamps are ON (dome lamp switch is closed
to ground),
The chime will sound continuously until driver's
door is closed, dome lamps tuned OFF or until the
battery protection time out of 15 minutes has
expired. Refer Group 8L, Lamps proper procedures.
Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per minute.
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 CCD
bus as engine temperature every 1.376 seconds to the
Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM calculates
engine temperature 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 BCM will chime one tone and the engine
temperature lamp comes ON. The BCM turns OFF
the lamp when the engine temperature reaches
117ÉC (242ÉF). The BCM will chime continuously
when the engine temperature reaches 125ÉC (257ÉF).

The CMTC will perform internal checks while
lighting all segments of the vacuum florescent dis-
play. Upon completion of the internal check, the
CMTC will display.
²PASS
²FAIL
²CCd
If any segment of the CMTC fails to light replace
the module.
If FAIL is displayed, replace the module.
If CCd is displayed, check the CCD and Body Con-
trol Module (BCM) for proper operation, refer to the
appropriate diagnostic test procedures manual If the
CCD and the BCM are OK, replace the CMTC mod-
ule.
For additional diagnostic information on the CMTC
and for identifying CMTC problems, refer to the
proper Body Diagnostic Procedures manual.
COMPASS MINI-TRIP COMPUTER (CMTC)
The Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) system
is located in the overhead console. CMTC consists of
a electronic control module with a vacuum fluores-
cent display (VFD) and function switches. The CMTC
consists of a electronic module that displays compass,
trip computer, and temperature features. Actuating
the STEP switch will cause the CMTC to change
mode of operation when ignition is ON. Example:
²Compass/Temperature
²Trip odometer (ODO)
²Average miles per gallon (ECO)
²Instant miles per gallon (ECO)
²Distance to empty (DTE)
²Elapsed time (ET)
²Off
The CMTC module in the overhead console has
three buttons used to select various functions. The
CMTC selector buttons will not operate until the
ignition is in the RUN position (Fig. 1).
When the ignition switch is first turned to the
RUN position the CMTC display;
²Blanks momentarily
²All segments of the VFD will light for one sec-
ond
²Blanks momentarily
²Returns to the last mode setting selected before
the ignition was last switched OFF.

²Rotate your hand-held transmitter end-over-end
and train again. For best results, place the end oppo-
site from the battery compartment against the uni-
versal transmitter while training.
²The frequency of the hand-held transmitter may
not be in the desired frequencies between 286MHz
and 399MHz set by FCC.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
COMPASS CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Variance is the difference between magnetic North
and geographic North (Fig. 4). To adjust the compass
variance set the CMTC to Compass/Temperature
mode and press RESET buttons for 5 seconds. The
symbol VAR and the current variance zone number
will be displayed. Press the STEP button to select
the proper variance zone as shown in (Fig. 4). Press
the US/Metric button to save the new variance zone
and normal CMTC operation. If both buttons are
held for 10 seconds instead 5 seconds the CMTC will
set variance to 8 and enter the fast calibration mode.
COMPASS CALIBRATION PROCEDURE (FAST
METHOD)
When the compass is subjected to excessive mag-
netic fields, the CMTC automatically enters a fast
calibration mode where is tries to compensate for the
large magnetic shifts.If the compass is inaccurate, appears to be inaccu-
rate and the CAL is not illuminated the fast calibra-
tion mode may be manually entered by using the
following procedure.
(1) Set the CMTC to Compass/Temperature mode
and press the reset button for 10 continuous seconds.
Manual activation of the fast calibration is generally
not required.
(2) Compass variance sets to the default of 8 after
the fast calibration is manually activated.
(3) Complete the compass variance setting proce-
dure by referring to the Compass Variance Procedure
in this section
(4) Drive the vehicle in three 360É turns in an area
free from large metal objects. If the CAL symbol
remains lit after completing this step, the roof panel
may need demagnetizing
DEMAGNETIZING PROCEDURE
A magnetic field can adversely affect the compass.
Magnetic interference can magnetize the roof panel.
Magnetizing can be caused by placing a permanent
magnet in contact with the roof panel. Example:
²Magnetic Base Antenna
²Magnetic screwdriver
²Audio speakers
²Refrigerator magnets.
²Pizza Signs
²Bubble gum flasher lights

8V - 4 OVERHEAD CONSOLENS
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
Page 555 of 1938

Removing magnetic interfering objects will usually
restore normal compass operation. If the compass
display remains blank while the CAL label is illumi-
nated, then the roof panel requires demagnetizing. To
demagnetize use Special Tool 6029 for demagnetizing
the roof panel. The demagnetizing procedure will
demagnetize the roof and mounting screws in the
overhead console. It is important that you follow the
instructions below exactly. The mounting screws and
the mounting brackets around the compass area are
steel, and therefore aid in the demagnetizing of the
roof panel.
(1) Be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF posi-
tion before you begin the demagnetize procedure.
(2) Plug the demagnetizing tool into a standard
110/115 volt AC outlet, keeping the demagnetizing
tool at least 12 inches away from the compass area
when plugging it in.
(3) Slowly approach and contact the console
mounting screw with the plastic coated tip of the tool
for at least two seconds.
(4) With the demagnetizing tool still energized,
slowly back it away from the screw until the tip is at
least 12 inches from the screw head.
(5) Repeat the last step with all the console
mounting screws.
(6) After you have pulled at least 12 inches from
the last screw, remove the demagnetizing tool from
inside vehicle and disconnect it from the electrical
outlet.
(7) Place an 8 1/2 X 11 inch piece of paper length-
wise on the roof of vehicle directly above compass.
The purpose of the paper is to protect the roof panel
from scratches and define the area to be demagne-
tized.
(8) Plug in the demagnetizing tool, keeping it at
least two feet away from the compass unit.
(9) Slowly approach the center of the roof panel at
the windshield with the demagnetizing tool plugged
in.
(10) Contact the roof panel with the tip of the tool.
Using slow sweeping motions of 1/2 inch between
sweeps. Move the tool approximately four inches
either side of the center line and at least 11 inches
back from the windshield.
(11) With the demagnetizing tool still energized,
slowly back away from the roof panel until the tip is
at least two feet from the roof before unplugging the
tool.
(12) Recalibrate compass, refer to the compass cal-
ibration procedure in this section.
UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER
TRAINING
(1) Turn off the engine.(2) Erase the factory test codes by pressing the
two outside buttons. Release the buttons when the
red light begins to flash (about 20 seconds).
(3) Choose one of the three buttons to train. Place
the hand-held transmitter within one inch of the uni-
versal transmitter and push the buttons on both
transmitters. The red light on the universal trans-
mitter will begin to flash slowly.
(4) When the red light on the universal transmit-
ter begins to flash rapidly (this may take as long as
60 seconds), release both buttons. Your universal
transmitter is now ªtrainedº. To train the other but-
tons, repeat Step 3 and Step 4. Be sure to keep your
hand-held transmitter in case you need to retrain the
universal transmitter.
