3.1.1 DRIVER AIRBAG
The airbag protective trim cover is the most
visible part of the driver side airbag system. The
protective trim cover is fitted to the front of the
airbag module and forms a decorative cover in the
center of the steering wheel. The module is
mounted directly to the steering wheel. Located
under the trim cover are the horn switch, the airbag
cushion, and the airbag cushion supporting compo-
nents. The airbag module includes a housing to
which the cushion and hybrid inflator are attached
and sealed. The 2001 Minivan is equipped with
driver airbag with dual stage inflators that include
a small canister of highly compressed argon gas.
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) uses ve-
hicle crash severity, driver seat belt switch status
(buckled or unbuckled) as inputs to determine the
level of airbag deployment. When supplied with the
proper electrical signal, the hybrid inflator or infla-
tors discharge the compressed gas it contains di-
rectly into the cushion. The airbag module cannot
be repaired, and must be replaced if deployed or in
any way damaged.

3.1.2 CLOCKSPRING
The clockspring is mounted on the steering col-
umn behind the steering wheel. This assembly
consist of a plastic housing which contains a flat,
ribbon-like, electrically conductive tape that winds
and unwinds with the steering wheel rotation. The
clockspring is used to maintain a continuous elec-
trical circuit between the instrument panel wiring
and the driver airbag, the horn, and the vehicle
speed control switches if equipped. The clockspring
must be properly centered when it is reinstalled on
the steering column following any service proce-
dure, or it could be damaged. The clockspring can-
not be repaired and it must be replaced.
3.1.3 PASSENGER AIRBAG
The airbag door in the instrument panel top cover
the glove box is the most visible part of the passen-
ger side airbag system. The airbag door has a living
hinge at the top, which is secured to the instrument
panel top cover. Located under the airbag door is
the airbag cushion and its supporting components.
The airbag module includes a housing to which the
cushion and hybrid inflators are attached and
sealed. The 2001 Minivan is equipped with front
passenger airbag with dual stage inflators that
include a small canister of highly compressed argon
gas. The ORC uses vehicle crash severity, front
passenger seat belt switch status (buckled or un-
buckled) inputs to determine the level of airbag
deployment. When supplied with the proper electri-
cal signal, the hybrid inflator or inflators discharge
the compressed gas it contains directly into the
cushion. The airbag module cannot be repaired, and
must be replaced if deployed or in any way dam-
aged.

3.7.6 EXTERIOR LIGHTING BATTERY
SAVER
The BCM monitors the status of, and controls, the
Park Lamps, Headlamps and Fog Lamp relays. If
any exterior lamps are left ON after the ignition is
turned OFF, the BCM will turn them OFF after 3
minutes.
3.7.7 AUTO HEADLAMPS
This feature is available on vehicles equipped
with both the Electrocromatic Mirror (ECM) and
the Compass/Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC). When
the BCM detects a day/night signal from the CMTC,
an ECM is present and Auto Headlamp mode is
selected.
3.8 FRONT CONTROL MODULE
The Front Control Module (FCM) is an electrical
control and interface center located in the engine
compartment. When it is mated to the Power Dis-
tribution Center (PDC), it is referred to as the
Intelligent Power Module (IPM). The IPM, with its
fuses and relays provides power and signal distri-
bution throughout most of the vehicle. The FCM
receives both hard wire and digital electronic inputs
from the vehicle electrical system through the PDC.
Based on these inputs and the ignition switch
position, it provides direct power feeds and relay
control to some of the vehicles' most critical electri-
cal systems.

3.8.1 CONTROLLED POWER FEEDS
Front airbag system
The FCM provides power to the Occupant Re-
straint Control (ORC) system through two ªfuse-
lessº circuits (ORC RUN/START, and ORC RUN
only). These circuits are electronically controlled
and continuously monitored for malfunctions.
Power is supplied while the ignition switch is in the
RUN and START positions on pin 48 of the FCM
connector, and in the RUN only position on pin 29.
Side airbag system
The FCM provides power to the Side Impact
Airbag Control Module (SIACM) system through
one ªfuselessº circuit. This circuit is electronically
controlled and continuously monitored for malfunc-
tions. Power is supplied in the ignition RUN and
START positions on pin 28 of the FCM connector.
Headlamp power
The headlamp switch is a direct input to the
BCM. The BCM sends a PCI Bus message to the
FCM informing it of a headlamp switch status
change. The FCM then turns on power to the
headlamps through four ªfuselessº circuits. These
circuits are electronically controlled and continu-
ously monitored for malfunctions. Power is supplied
to each filament in a separate circuit (RH low on pin
6, RH high on pin 4, LH low on pin 3 and LH high
on pin 5). For vehicles equipped with Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL), the FCM electronically
steps down the headlamp voltage to provide the
desired illumination.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Page 43 of 4284
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.
14
GENERAL INFORMATION
Page 44 of 4284
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

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
24

manual sliding door. When the child lock out switch
is on, the B pillar switches are disabled.
There is only one part number for the power
sliding door module (PSDM). The driver sliding
door harness has an additional ground circuit which
will identify it as the driver side. This eliminates
the need for a left and a right side module.
3.18.2 DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES
The PSDM can be flashed on vehicle via PCI bus
with a DRBIIItdiagnostic tool. The DRBIIItcan
read all inputs, actuate all outputs, read module
information, and read diagnostic trouble codes. As a
reminder, some DTC's can be set during normal
PSD operation.
3.18.3 SYSTEM INHIBITORS
1. Battery voltage too high or too low (above 16V,
below 9.5V)
2. Vehicle in gear
3. Vehicle speed > 0 mph/km/h
4. Child locks enabled inhibit the B pillar switch
operation
5. O/H console lockout will inhibit the B pillar
switches
6. Doors locked will inhibit all interior switches
from opening (Overhead Console, B Pillar). A
locked sliding door can be power closed.
3.19 REAR WINDOW DEFOG/HEATED
MIRROR/FRONT WIPER DE-ICE
The defroster button located on the HVAC control
controls the rear window defogger, heated side view
mirrors and front wiper de-icer grid. In addition the
front wiper de-ice function is turned on when front
defog/defrost mode is selected.
When the defroster button is pushed, the HVAC
control sends a bus message over the PCI bus to the
Front Control Module (FCM) which controls the
Rear Window Defogger relay. The defroster LED
will illuminate when the defroster function is on.
The defroster will function for 10 minutes or can be
cycled off sooner by pressing the defroster button
again. The front wiper de-icer grid receives its 12
volts from the accessory relay through fuse 11 and
the HVAC control module supplies the grid ground.
3.20 VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
3.20.1 BASE ALARM SYSTEM
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) is part
of the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM
monitors the vehicle doors, liftgate, hood, and theignition for unauthorized operation. The alarm ac-
tivates by sounding the horn, flashing the head-
lamps and the VTSS indicator lamp. The VTSS does
not prevent engine operation, this is done with the
Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM). Passive
arming occurs in one of two ways. Upon normal
vehicle exit by removing the ignition key, opening
the driver door, locking the doors with the power
lock, and closing the driver door, or by removing the
ignition key, opening the driver door, closing the
driver door, and locking the doors with the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. The VTSS indi-
cator lamp will flash for approximately 15 seconds
during the arming process. If there is no interrup-
tion during the arming process, upon completion
the VTSS indicator lamp will flash at a slower rate.
When the BCM receives an input to trigger the
alarm, the BCM will control the outputs of the
headlamps, horn, and VTSS lamp for approxi-
mately 18 minutes.
Arming (Active and Passive)
Active arming occurs when the RKE transmitter
is used to lock the vehicle doors, whether the doors
are open or closed. The arming process is complete
only after all doors are closed.
Passive arming occurs when the ignition key is
removed, the driver door is opened, and the doors
are locked with the power door lock switch, and the
door is closed.
Disarming (Active and Passive)
Active disarming occurs when the RKE transmit-
ter is used to unlock the vehicle doors. This disarm-
ing will also halt the alarm once it has been acti-
vated.
Passive disarming occurs upon normal vehicle
entry (unlocking driver door with the key). This
disarming will also halt the alarm once it has been
activated.
Tamper Alert
The VTSS tamper alert will sound the horn three
times upon disarming to indicate a tamper condi-
tion has occurred.
Manual Override
The system will not arm if the doors are locked
using the manual lock control or if the locks are
actuated by an inside occupant after the doors are
closed.
Diagnosis
For complaints about the Vehicle Theft Alarm
triggering on its own, use the DRBIIItand read the
