ESP CHRYSLER VOYAGER 2001 User Guide

EATX power
The electronic automatic 4 speed transmission
module is powered when the ignition switch is in
the UNLOCK, RUN or START positions. This cir-
cuit is electronically controlled and continuously
monitored for malfunctions. Power is supplied
through pin 27 of the FCM connector.
Front washer motor
The front washer switch is a direct input to the
BCM. The BCM sends a PCI Bus message to the
FCM informing it of a request to wash. The front
washer motor is then powered through low side
control inside the FCM. This circuit is electronically
controlled and continuously monitored for malfunc-
tions. In addition, the FCM electronically protects
the washer motor from system voltages higher than
16 volts by automatically switching off the low side
circuit. The low side circuit is connected to pin 45 in
the FCM connector.
Rear washer motor
The rear washer switch is a direct input to the
BCM. The BCM sends a PCI Bus message to the
FCM informing it of a request to wash. The rear
washer motor is then powered through low side
control inside the FCM. This circuit is electronically
controlled and continuously monitored for malfunc-
tions. In addition, the FCM electronically protects
the washer motor from system voltages higher than
16 volts by automatically switching off the low side
circuit. The low side circuit is connected to pin 46 in
the FCM connector.
Brake shift interlock system
The brake shift interlock solenoid receives power
from both high side and low side controls inside the
FCM. The high side control is on the same circuit as
the EATX module power, and the low side control
comes through pin 47 of the FCM connector. The
solenoid is controlled by the low side driver when
the brake pedal is pressed. Both circuits are contin-
uously monitored for malfunctions.
3.8.2 RELAY CONTROLS
Fog lamp relay
The fog lamp switch is a direct input to the BCM.
The BCM sends a PCI Bus message to the FCM
informing it to turn on the fog lamp relay. The fog
lamp relay is then powered through low side control
on pin 33 of the FCM. This circuit is electronically
controlled and continuously monitored for malfunc-
tions. Fog lamp functionality is not equipped on all
vehicles. The FCM ªlearnsº that the vehicle is
equipped with fog lamps by reading the BCM PCI
Bus message.
Park lamp relay
The park lamp switch is a direct input to the
BCM. The BCM sends a PCI Bus message to the
FCM informing it to turn on the park lamp relay.
The park lamp relay is then powered through lowside control on pin 13 of the FCM. This circuit is
electronically controlled and continuously moni-
tored for malfunctions.
Front wiper on relay
The front wiper switch is a direct input to the
BCM. The BCM sends a PCI Bus message to the
FCM informing it to turn on the front wiper on
relay. The front wiper on relay is then powered
through low side control on pin 14 of the FCM. This
circuit is electronically controlled and continuously
monitored for malfunctions.
Front wiper high/low relay
The front wiper switch is a direct input to the
BCM. The BCM sends a PCI Bus message to the
FCM informing it to turn on the front wiper high/
low relay. The relay switches power between the low
speed and high speed windings of the wiper motor.
The front wiper high/low relay is powered through
low side control on pin 34 of the FCM. This circuit is
electronically controlled and continuously moni-
tored for malfunctions.
Accessory relay
The accessory relay works in conjunction with the
FCM's power accessory delay feature to control the
operation of the radio, power windows, washer
motors, wiper motors and power outlet. The acces-
sory relay is turned on through low side control on
pin 35 of the FCM. This circuit is electronically
controlled and continuously monitored for malfunc-
tions. Depending on the ignition switch position,
the accessory relay will remain on or will time-out
and turn off. The accessory relay remains on in the
RUN and ACCY positions of the ignition switch. In
the UNLK and OFF positions, the relay will remain
energized for 45 seconds then turn off. During this
time-out period, if the driver or passenger doors are
opened, the relay will turn off immediately. While
the ignition switch is in the START position, the
relay will also drop-out, then resume operation.
Accessory relay operation is most noticeable by
observing the operation of the radio or blower
functions.
Horn relay
The horn relay operates through a direct wire
input to the FCM from the horn switch (FCM pin
17) , or a PCI Bus message from the BCM. The relay
responds to the horn switch, remote door lock and
VTA alarm functions. The horn relay is powered
through low side control on pin 10 of the FCM.
Under normal operating conditions, if the horn is
pressed for longer than 30 seconds, the FCM will
automatically deactivate the horn to prevent dam-
age to it. The FCM will re-activate control of the
relay after a 25 second cool-down period. This
circuit is electronically controlled and continuously
monitored for malfunctions.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Front and rear blower relay
The blower control switch is part of the Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC) or A/C-Heater Control
Module, (Manual Temp). When the blower switch is
turned on, the ATC or A/C-Heater Control Module
sends a PCI Bus message to the FCM. The front and
rear blower relay is then powered through low side
control on pin 30 of the FCM. The relay provides the
high side to the blower motor, and the blower speed
is governed through low side control in the ATC or
A/C-Heater Control Module. This circuit is electron-
ically controlled and continuously monitored for
malfunctions.
Name Brand Speakers (NBS) relay
The NBS relay operates through the vehicle bus
interface between the radio and the FCM. When the
radio is turned on, the radio sends a PCI Bus
message to the FCM. The NBS relay is then pow-
ered on through low side control on pin 11 of the
FCM. The relay supplies power to the amplified
speaker, and ground is supplied through the radio.
This circuit is electronically controlled and contin-
uously monitored for malfunctions.
Electronic Back Light (EBL) relay
The rear defrost switch is part of the Automatic
Temperature Control or A/C-Heater Control Module
(Manual Temp). When the ignition switch is in the
RUN position and the rear defrost switch is turned
on, the ATC or A/C-Heater Control Module sends a
PCI Bus message to the FCM. The EBL run only
relay is then powered through low side control on
pin 31 of the FCM. The relay provides the high side
to the rear window defrost grid, and ground is
attached to the vehicle body. The FCM will only
allow the rear defrost to operate in the RUN posi-
tion. This circuit is electronically controlled and
continuously monitored for malfunctions.
Cabin Heater Relay
When the ignition is in Run, the FCM monitors
the PCI bus for the Cabin Heater Activation re-
quest. The A/C ± Heater Control Module initiates
this request only when all conditions for Cabin
Heater activation are favorable. The request carries
the status bit that the FCM requires to activate its
Cabin Heater Assist Control output. This output is
a low side driver (coming from FCM pin 15) which
supplies a ground signal to the Cabin Heater (pin
5). When the Cabin Heater receives this ground
signal input, it interprets this as an activation
signal. The FCM low side driver is also capable of
diagnostic sensing. The driver will sense an open
circuit when the driver is off, and will sense a short
to voltage when the driver is on. The FCM will set
DTCs for both of these types of faults. For addi-
tional information, refer to Cabin Heater under
General Information and Diagnostic Procedures in
the manual.3.8.3 ELECTRICAL INPUTS

3.9 HEATING & A/C
3.9.1 AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE
CONTROL (ATC)
3.9.1.1 CABIN HEATER
For vehicles equipped with a diesel engine, a
Cabin Heater is used in conjunction with the HVAC
system. The Cabin Heater is designed to supply the
vehicle's occupants with heat prior to the engine
reaching operating temperature. For additional in-
formation on this system, refer to Cabin Heater
under General Information and Diagnostic Proce-
dures in this manual.
3.9.1.2 SYSTEM OPERATION
The Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) sys-
tem provides fully adjustable three zone climate
control; Driver front zone, Passenger Front zone
and Rear zone. The following is a list of ATC
controls and features:
± a POWER button which allows the operator to
turn the system completely off.
± AUTO HIGH/LOW switch allows the operator
to select what rate (fan speed) the system will
provide the selected comfort level.
± DRIVER, REAR and PASSENGER rocker
switches to select desired temperature for each
zone.
± Recirculation button allows cooling air to be
recirculated which maximizes cooling ability.
± A/C select button allows the operator to turn
the A/C compressor off.
± Defroster button allows the operator to turn on
the defroster independently during automatic
control.
± Fan control rotary switch for selecting fan
speed.
± Mode rotary switch for selecting heating/
cooling direction.
± REAR SYSTEM rotary switch for activating
the Rear ATC Switch allowing intermediate
passenger control over rear climate control.
3.9.1.3 BLOWER MOTOR OPERATION
The Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) front
and rear blower control provides continuously vari-
able control of air flow rate to meet occupant
comfort requirements. Pulse width modulation of
the blower motor power allows the front and rear
blower to operate at any speed from off to full speed.
When front or rear blower operation is required, the
ATC sends a PCI Bus message to the Front Control
Module (FCM) requesting blower relay ON. The
FCM provides a ground for the front and rear
blower motor relay coils, activating both relays. The
front and rear blower relays provide 12 volts to
their respective blower motor power modules. Each
module provides a 12 volt blower motor control
signal to the ATC. The ATC provides a pulse width
modulated (duty-cycle) ground signal to this circuit
based on climate requirements. The higher voltage
on the signal circuit (less duty-cycle ground) the
lower the blower speed request. The lower voltage
on the signal circuit (more duty-cycle ground) the
higher the blower speed request.
3.9.1.4 INFRARED SENSORS
The ATC system uses infrared (I/R) sensors to
monitor and control oocupant comfort levels. This
sensing system replaces interior air temperature
and solar sensors which required complex control
programs to maintain occupant comfort levels. The
front I/R sensor is located in the instrument panel
center bezel outlet. The rear I/R sensor is located in
the rear overhead mounted ATC switch.
3.9.1.5 REAR ATC SWITCH
The rear ATC switch is mounted in the headliner.
The switch contains a rotary adjustment for fan
speed, a rotary adjustment for mode selection, a
push button switch for temperature selection and a
digital display of the selected temperature.
3.9.1.6 COOLDOWN TESTING
The ATC provides a feature referred to as a
Cooldown Test. This test is initiated using the
DRBIIItand is designed to check the performance
of the air conditioning system. The ATC will not
perform this test if the ambient air temperature is
below 12ÉC (53ÉF). During the test, the ATC com-
pares the ambient air temperature to the evapora-
tor temperature sensor. To pass the cooldown test,
the evap temperature sensor must drop -6ÉC (20ÉF)
below ambient temperature within 2 minutes of
start of test. At the completion of the cooldown test
the DRBIIItwill display one of the following mes-
sages indicating test outcome:
± Cooldown Test Passed
± Cooldown Test Failed
16
GENERAL INFORMATION

± Evap Temp Sensor Shorted
± Evap Temp Sensor Open
± A/C Pressure Too Low
± A/C Pressure Too High
± Invalid Conditions for Cooldown Test, Evap
Temperature Too Low
If a message other than Cooldown Test Passed
occurs, refer to the appropriate symptom for diag-
nosis.
3.9.1.7 ACTIVE AND STORED TROUBLE
CODES
The Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) is
capable of storing Active and Stored trouble codes.
Active codes indicate a current fault in the system.
Stored codes indicate that a problem has occurred
in the system, however is not currently present.
Active codes cannot be erased until the problem
causing the code has been repaired. At this time the
Active code is converted to a Stored code, which can
be erased using the DRBIIIt.
3.9.2 MANUAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL
3.9.2.1 SYSTEM AVAILABILITY
Depending on the model, either a Single-Zone Air
Conditioning System or a Dual-Zone Air Condition-
ing System is currently available in these vehicles.
3.9.2.2 CABIN HEATER
For Vehicles equipped with a diesel engine, a
Cabin Heater is used in conjunction with the HVAC
system. The Cabin Heater is designed to supply the
vehicle's occupants with heat prior to the engine
reaching operating temperature. For additional in-
formation on this system, refer to Cabin Heater
under General Information and Diagnostic Proce-
dures in this manual.
3.9.2.3 ZONE CONTROL ± SINGLE-ZONE
The Single-Zone Air Conditioning System main-
tains incoming air temperature, airflow, fan speed,
and fresh air intake for the entire vehicle from the
instrument panel mounted A/C ± Heater Control
Module. The full range of temperature that the
system can produce in any mode for the entire
vehicle is available by positioning the blend control
to the desired range.
3.9.2.4 ZONE CONTROL ± DUAL-ZONE
The Dual-Zone Air Conditioning System main-
tains incoming air temperature, airflow, fan speed,
and fresh air intake for the entire vehicle from the
instrument panel mounted A/C ± Heater ControlModule. In addition, this system provides com-
pletely independent side-to-side control of incoming
air temperature. The full range of temperature that
the system can produce in any mode is available on
either side of the vehicle by positioning the inde-
pendent driver and passenger blend controls to the
desired range.
3.9.2.5 AIR DISTRIBUTION
The HVAC unit has five fully adjustable instru-
ment panel outlets. Side-window demister outlets
in the instrument panel eliminate door ducts and
door-to-instrument panel seals. A single, central
mounted outlet delivers air for defrosting the wind-
shield. Air exhausters allow air entering at the
front of the vehicle to flow out the back to the rear
occupants. Mid-cabin comfort control directs only
cooling air flow to the intermediate seat occupants
through outlets at the rear of each front door trim
panel. Air is supplied to these outlets from the
instrument panel through ducts in the doors that
use molded seals at the instrument panel to prevent
air leakage. Wide outlets under the front seats with
directional dividers distribute heated air across the
floor to the intermediate seat occupants. Ducts in
the center of the vehicle under the carpet deliver air
from the HVAC unit to these outlets. Models
equipped with Dual-Zone A/C systems also include
a dust and odor air filter installed in the HAVC
housing.
3.9.2.6 DOOR ACTUATORS
The electric door actuators are a two-wire design.
Each door actuator uses a similar connector wired
directly to the A/C ± Heater Control Module. Single-
Zone systems have one blend door actuator, one
mode door actuator, and one recirculation door
actuator. Dual-Zone systems have two blend door
actuators, one mode door actuator, and one recircu-
lation door actuator. All of the door actuators are
accessible from the vehicle's interior.
3.9.2.7 DOOR ACTUATOR CONTROL
The A/C ± Heater Control Module knows the
number of operating actuator revolutions required
for full door travel as well as the number of actuator
commutator pulses per revolution. Using these pa-
rameters, the A/C ± Heater Control Module runs
the actuator for the number of commutator pulses
that correspond to the desired door position. To
maintain accuracy, the system recalibrates itself
periodically at known zero and full travel condi-
tions.

provides power to the A/C Clutch Relay and Front
Blower Motor Relay.
3.9.2.9 EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
An evaporator temperature sensor, located on the
A/C expansion valve under the hood, replaces the
previously used fin sensor.
3.9.2.10 A/C ± HEATER CONTROL
MODULE, SWITCH OPERATION
Power Switch
The Power Switch is a momentary contact switch.
The switch LED illuminates when the switch is on.
The Power Switch setting is remembered during
power down.
Rear Window Defogger Switch
The Rear Window Defogger Switch is a momen-
tary contact switch. Toggling the switch results in
the A/C ± Heater Control Module sending a change
of state message to the FCM to provide rear window
defogger activation or deactivation respectively.
The switch LED illuminates when the switch is on.
Recirculation Switch
The Recirculation Switch is a momentary contact
switch. Toggling the switch on results in the A/C ±
Heater Control Module signaling the actuator to
close the fresh-air door. Toggling the switch off
results in the A/C ± Heater Control Module signal-
ing the actuator to open the fresh-air door. The
switch LED illuminates when the switch is on.
When the Power Switch is off, the A/C ± Heater
Control Module closes the fresh-air door to prevent
outside air from entering the passenger compart-
ment. The recirculation mode will cancel whenever
defrost is requested. Pressing the Recirculation
Switch while in defrost mode will illuminate the
Recirculation Switch LED, but only while the but-
ton is pressed. Under this circumstance, the recir-
culation request will be denied and the fresh-air
door will remain in the fresh position. All door
positions are determined relative to the number of
commutator pulses required to provide full travel of
the door. On command, the A/C ± Heater Control
Module runs the actuator for the number of pulses
corresponding to the desired door position.
A/C Switch
The A/C Switch is a momentary contact switch.
Toggling the switch results in the A/C ± Heater
Control Module sending a change of state message
to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM ± gasoline)or Engine Control Module (ECM ± diesel) to provide
A/C compressor clutch activation or deactivation
respectively. The A/C ± Heater Control Module will
only provide this request if EVAP function is found
acceptable. The Power Switch must be on to make
the A/C switch active. The switch LED illuminates
when the switch is on. The A/C Switch setting is
remembered during power down.
Blower Switch
The rotary Blower Switch has five positions, Low,
M1, M2, M3, and High. The Power Switch must be
on to make the Blower Switch active. Toggling the
Power Switch results in the A/C ± Heater Control
Module sending a request to the FCM to provide
blower motor activation or deactivation respec-
tively.
Blend Switch ± Single Zone
The single rotary Blend Switch has multiple
detents to control the full range of temperature that
the system can produce in any mode. Rotating the
switch results in the A/C ± Heater Control Module
signaling the actuator to move the blend door. All
door positions are determined relative to the num-
ber of commutator pulses required to provide full
travel of the door. On command, the A/C ± Heater
Control Module runs the actuator for the number of
pulses corresponding to the desired door position.
Blend Switch ± Dual Zone
The dual sliding Blend Switches have multiple
detents to control the full range of temperature that
the system can produce an any mode. The upper
slide pot controls the driver-side blend door, while
the lower slide pot controls the passenger-side
blend door. Sliding the switch results in the A/C ±
Heater Control Module signaling the actuator to
move the blend door. All door positions are deter-
mined relative to the number of commutator pulses
required to provide full travel of the door. On
command, the A/C ± Heater Control Module runs
the actuator for the number of pulses corresponding
to the desired door position.
Mode Switch
The single rotary Mode Switch has 13 detents to
either direct airflow to the panel outlets, a mix of
floor and panel outlets, floor outlets, a mix of floor
and defrost outlets, or defrost outlets. Rotating the
switch results in the A/C ± Heater Control Module
signaling the actuator to move the mode door. All
door positions are determined relative to the num-
ber of commutator pulses required to provide full
travel of the door. On command, the A/C ± Heater
Control Module runs the actuator for the number of
pulses corresponding to the desired door position.

GENERAL INFORMATION

On vehicles equipped with AutoStick, the display
includes an O/D OFF indicator that is illuminated
when the driver presses the Overdrive Off button
on the transaxle shifter.
3.11.1 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SELF TEST
1. Depress and hold the Odometer Reset button.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN/START
position.
3. Release the Odometer reset button.
The Instrument Cluster will illuminate all indi-
cators and step the gauges through several calibra-
tion points. Also, the odometer will display any
stored codes that may have set.
3.11.2 MESSAGE CENTER
The Message Center is located above the brow of
the Instrument Cluster. It houses the following
warning indicators: Check Engine/Service Engine
Soon, high beam, left and right turn signals, Secu-
rity Alarm Set, and low oil pressure. On base
models equipped with the three-speed transaxle,
these indicators appear in the face of the cluster.
The Security Alarm set indicator is a red circle.
Activation of Instrument Cluster indicators is
coordinated with indicators in the message center
and EVIC to avoid redundancy. A revised safety
standard now requires that the seat belt warning
lamp in the Instrument Cluster remain lit if the
driver seat belt is not buckled. A headlamp out ISO
indicator has been added to the Instrument Cluster
to alert the driver when a headlamp is not function-
ing.
3.12 INTERIOR LIGHTING
3.12.1 COURTESY LAMP CONTROL
The body controller has direct control over all of
the vehicle's courtesy lamps. The body computer
will illuminate the courtesy lamps under any of the
following conditions:
1. Any door ajar and courtesy lamp switch on the
headlamp switch is not in the dome off position.
2. The courtesy lamp switch on the headlamp
switch is in the dome on position.
3. A Remote Keyless Entry unlock message is re-
ceived.
4. Driver door unlocked with key (with VTSS only).
3.12.2 ILLUMINATED ENTRY
Illuminated entry will be initiated when the cus-
tomer enters the vehicle by unlocking the doors
with the key fob, or with the key if the vehicle is
equipped with vehicle theft alarm. Upon exiting thevehicle, if the lock button is pressed with a door
open, illuminated entry will cancel when the door
closes. If the doors are closed and the ignition
switch is turned on, the illuminated entry also
cancels. The illuminated entry feature will not
operate if the courtesy lamp switch is in the dome
off position.
3.12.3 INTERIOR LIGHTING BATTERY
SAVER
If any of the interior lamps are left on after the
ignition is turned off, the BCM will turn them off
after 8 minutes. To return to normal operation, the
courtesy lamps will operate after the dome lamp
switch or door ajar switch changes state. The glove
box and switched reading lamps require that the
ignition be turned to the on/acc position.
3.13 MEMORY SYSTEM
The memory system consists of power driver 's
seat, power mirrors and radio presets. The Memory
Seat/Mirror Module (MSMM) is located under the
driver 's seat. It receives input from the following:
driver 's manual 8-way seat switch, driver 's seat
position sensors, PCI bus circuits, and the power
mirror sensors. The module uses these inputs to
perform the following functions: position the driv-
er 's memory seat, both exterior mirrors (during
recalls), and send/receive the memory system infor-
mation over the PCI bus.
The Memory Set Switch is wired to the Body
Control Module (BCM). When a button (either #1 or
#2) is pressed on the set switch causes the to BCM
send a message to the MSMM which in turn sends
a motion status messages to the BCM. If the BCM
receives no motion from the MSMM it will send a
recall message to the MSMM and radio (once igni-
tion is in run or accessory). The MSMM will in turn
position the drivers seat, both mirrors along with
recalling the radio presets. If the drivers seat or
either exterior mirror is inoperative from its own
respective switches, use the service information
and schematic to diagnose the problem. This man-
ual addresses the memory problems only and it is
assumed there is not a basic component failure.
3.13.1 POWER SEAT
The memory power seat provides the driver with
2 position settings for the driver 's seat. Each power
seat motor is connected to the MSMM with two
motor drive circuits. Each circuit is switched be-
tween battery and ground. By being able to bi-
directionally drive the circuits, the MSMM controls
the movement of the motors based on input from
the power seat switch or from the position sensors
when performing a memory recall. Each motor
22
GENERAL INFORMATION

contains a potentiometer to monitor the seat posi-
tion. To monitor the position of the motor, the
MSMM sends out a 5-volt reference on the sensor
supply circuit. The sensor is grounded back to the
module on a common ground circuit. Based on the
position of the sensor, the MSMM monitors the
voltage change through the sensor on a separate
signal circuit.
The MSMM stores the input value of each of the
four seat potentiometers in memory when the sys-
tem requests a set. The driver can initiate a mem-
ory recall, using either the door mounted memory
switch or the RKE transmitter (if the remote linked
to memory feature is enabled via the EVIC). When
initiated, the MSMM adjusts the four seat sensors
(by using the motors) to match the memorized seat
position data.
For safety, the memory seat recall is disabled by
the MSMM when the vehicle is out of park position
or if the speed is not zero. Any obstruction to seat
movement over a 2-second delay will cause the seat
to stop moving in which case a stalled motor would
be detected by the MSMM and the corresponding
seat output would be deactivated. However, if the
object obstructing the seat is removed, the seat will
function normally again.
3.13.2 MEMORY MIRRORS
Each outside mirror contains vertical and hori-
zontal bi-directional drive positioning motors and
position sensors. The MSMM provides a 5-volt
reference on the signal circuit to each position
sensor. The sensors share a common ground circuit.
The MSMM monitors the position of the mirror
motors by measuring the voltage on each signal
circuit. When a memory position is set, the MSMM
monitors and stores the position of the outside
mirrors. The MSMM adjusts the mirrors to the
appropriate positions when a memory recall mes-
sage is received from the RKE or is requested from
the memory set switch.
The power mirror switch during non-memory
operation operates both mirrors independently of
the MSMM.
3.14 OVERHEAD CONSOLE
3.14.1 COMPASS/MINI-TRIP COMPUTER
(CMTC)
The compass/mini-trip computer is located in the
overhead console. It displays to the driver the
direction the vehicle is traveling and the current
outside temperature, as well as the following trav-
eler navigational information: average fuel econ-
omy (AVG ECO), distance to empty (DTE), instan-
taneous fuel economy (ECO), elapsed time (ET),and trip odometer (ODO). The information needed
for the CMTC functions is received over the PCI bus
from other modules.
3.14.2 ELECTRONIC VEHICLE
INFORMATION CENTER (EVIC)
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) includes all the same functions and is lo-
cated in the same area as the Compass/Mini-Trip
Computer, but it adds a number of warning mes-
sages. Also, the EVIC messages are spelled out on
the screen, for example, DISTANCE TO EMPTY,
where the Mini-Trip Computer displays only shows
DTE.
If the compass/mini-trip computer or EVIC has
been replaced, it may be necessary to reset the
calibration.
3.14.3 SETTING THE COMPASS
The compass/mini-trip computer and EVIC are
self-calibrated and requires no adjustment. The
word CAL will be displayed to indicate that the
compass is in the fast calibrating mode. CAL will
turn off after the vehicle has gone in three complete
circles without stopping, in an area free of magnetic
disturbance.
If the module displays the temperature while the
compass is blank or shows a false reading, the
vehicle must be demagnetized. See the service man-
ual for the proper procedure.
If the compass still goes blank after the vehicle is
demagnetized, the compass/mini-trip/EVIC module

3.14.4 SETTING THE VARIANCE
Variance is the difference between magnetic
north and geographic north. To determine the vari-
ance for the area you are in, refer to the following
zone map provided. The number shown for your
area is the variance number for your area.
1. Set the compass/mini-trip computer (CMTC) to
compass/temperature mode.
2. Press and hold down the RESET button for 5
seconds.NOTE:If the button is held for 10
23
GENERAL INFORMATION

seconds instead of 5, the CMTC will set the
variance to 8 and enter the fast calibration
mode.
3. The VAR light will come on and the last variance
setting will be displayed.
4. Press the STEP button to set the zone number.
5. Press the US/M button and resume normal op-
eration.
NOTE: Do not attach any magnetic device
such as a magnetic CB antenna to the
vehicle. This can cause the compass to give
false readings.
3.15 POWER DOOR LOCK SYSTEM
When the BCM receives input for a lock request
from a door lock switch, RKE or cylinder lock switch
(only with VTSS), it will turn the lock driver on for
a specified time of 375 msec. If the request is there
beyond 375 msec, the BCM considers the door lock
signal stuck. Once a door lock or unlock signal is
stuck for longer than 10 seconds, the BCM will set
a trouble code and the signal input is ignored until
the stuck condition disappears. The door lock
switches provide a variable amount of resistance
thereby dropping the voltage of the multiplexed
(MUX) circuit and the BCM will respond to that
command.
3.15.1 SLIDING DOOR MEMORY LOCK
When the BCM receives an input for a lock
request and a sliding door is open, the BCM will
turn on the lock driver as described above, and will
turn it on again when all sliding doors are closed.
NOTE: If the BCM receives an unlock input before
a sliding door is closed, this will cancel the memory
lock.
3.15.2 DOOR LOCK INHIBIT
When the key is in the ignition and in any
position and either front door is open, the door lock
switches LOCK functions are disabled. The UN-
LOCK functions are still functional. This protects
against locking the vehicle with the keys still in the
ignition. The RKE key fob will still lock the doors as
usual. This allows the driver to lock the vehicle with
the engine running for warm up.
3.15.3 AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS
This feature can be enabled or disabled by using
either the DRBIIItor the customer programming
method. When enabled all the doors will lock when
the vehicle reaches a speed of 18 MPH (29 KMH)
and all the doors are closed. If a door is opened and
the vehicle slows to below 18 MPH (29 KMH), thedoor locks will operate again once all doors are
closed and the speed is above 15 MPH (24 KMH).
3.15.4 REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The body control module interfaces with the RKE
module via a one-way serial bus interface. The RKE
module is not on the PCI bus. The RKE module
sends a 0-5 volt pulse width signal to the BCM
depending on which button on the transmitter was
pressed. The BCM controls the door lock/unlock
functions and the arming/disarming of the Vehicle
Theft Security System (if equipped) and the activa-
tion of illuminated entry. The BCM will also send
the appropriate messages to the Power Sliding
Doors and Power Liftgate modules. The Intelligent
Power Module (IPM) activates the park lamps,
headlamps, and horn for horn chirp when sent the
appropriate message from the BCM as received
from the RKE transmitter. When a one-button
press is made for unlock, both driver side doors will
unlock and the front and rear turn signal will flash.
When a second press is initiated (within 5 seconds
of the first) both passenger doors will unlock and all
four turn signals will flash.
The RKE module is capable of retaining up to 4
individual access codes (4 transmitters). If the
PRNDL is in any position except park, the BCM will
ground the interface thereby disabling the RKE.
The 2 button transmitter will have 2-CR2016
batteries in series. The 5 button transmitter will
have 1-CR2016 battery. The minimum battery life
should be approximately 4.7 years based on 20
transmissions a day at 84ÉF (25ÉC). Using the
DRBIIItand selecting RKE FOB Test can test the
transmitter.
The RKE module can be programmed via the
DRBIIItor the customer programming method.
The BCM will only allow programming mode to be
entered when the ignition is in the on position, the
PRNDL is in park position, and the VTSS (if
equipped) is in the disarmed mode.
3.16 POWER FOLDING MIRRORS
The power folding mirrors are powered to two
positions: folded and unfolded. The driver may
choose fold or unfold with a switch that is located on
the right side of the steering column. The folding
mirror switch grounds a sense wire that comes from
the Body Control Module when it is placed in the
fold position. The mirrors will move to the position
designated by the switch whether the ignition
switch is the On or Off position and both front doors
are closed. When the Power Folding Mirror switch
is left in the fold position during a vehicle exit the
mirrors will automatically unfold then refold after
both front doors are closed. This is to prevent mirror
contact with either front door when opened. When

defined as the amount of time from the start of a
wipe to the beginning of the next wipe. The rear
wiper system delay time is based on the following:
7.75 - (MPH x .05) = Seconds delay
Examples:
At zero (0) MPH the delay is 7.75 seconds.
At 100 MPH the delay is 2.75 seconds.
3.21.8 WIPE AFTER WASH
When the driver presses the wash button for over
1.5 seconds and releases it, the wiper will continue
to run for 2 additional wipe cycles.
3.22 USING THE DRBIIIT
Refer to the DRBIIItuser guide for instructions
and assistance with reading trouble codes, erasing
trouble codes, and other DRBIIItfunctions.
3.22.1 DRBIIITERROR MESSAGES
Under normal operation, the DRBIIItwill dis-
play one of only two error messages: user-requested
WARM Boot or User-Requested COLD Boot. If the
DRBIIItshould display any other error message,
record the entire display and call the STAR Center.
This is a sample of such an error message display:

and the application screen.
Press F4 when done noting information.
3.22.2 DRBIIITDOES NOT POWER UP
(BLANK SCREEN)
If the LED's do not light or no sound is emitted at
start up, check for loose cable connections or a bad
cable. Check the vehicle battery voltage (data link
connector cavity 16). A minimum of 11 volts is
required to adequately power the DRBIIIt. Check
for proper grounds at DLC cavities 4 and 5.
If all connections are proper between the
DRBIIItand the vehicle or other devices, and the
vehicle battery is fully charged, an inoperative
DRBIIItmay be the result or a faulty cable or
vehicle wiring.
3.22.3 DISPLAY IS NOT VISIBLE
Low temperatures will affect the visibility of the
display. Adjust the contrast to compensate for this
condition.
