BRAKE LAMP SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The brake lamp switch is located under the instru-
ment panel, at the brake pedal arm (Fig. 3). It has
three internal switches controlling various functions
of the vehicle. It's main function is to control opera-
tion of the vehicle's brake lamps via a brake switch
input to the BCM. The BCM will then activate the
stop lamps. Other functions include speed control
deactivation, brake sense for the antilock brake sys-
tem and brake sense for the brake transmission shift
interlock.
CAUTION: The switch can only be adjusted once.
That is during initial installation of the switch. If the
switch is not adjusted properly or has been
removed for some service, a new switch must be
installed and adjusted.
OPERATION
When the brake pedal is pressed, the plunger on
the outside of the brake lamp switch extends out-
ward. This action opens or closes the contacts of the
three switches inside the brake lamp switch.With the brake pedal pressed down (plunger
extended), the switch for terminals 1 and 2 is closed
completing the circuit. The switch for terminals 3
and 4 is open and so is the switch for terminals 5
and 6.
When the brake pedal is released (plunger pushed
in), the three switches assume the opposite positions.
The switch for terminals 1 and 2 is now open while
the other two switches are now closed, completing
their circuits.
A lever on the back of the switch is used to set the
switch into the ªadjustedº position. A non-adjusted
switch will have the lever set to the diagonal position
in relation to the switch housing. The plunger can be
moved in and out, but the states of the internal
switches will not change.
CAUTION: Never move the adjustment lever of the
new brake lamp switch without it being properly
installed in the vehicle first. Such action will render
the switch unusable and the switch must be dis-
carded.
Once installed in the vehicle as described in the
brake lamp switch installation procedure (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/
BRAKE LAMP SWITCH - INSTALLATION), the new
switch's adjustment lever is rotated to the adjusted
position as indicated (Fig. 4). This action locks the
plunger to the internal switches.Once in this posi-
tion the switch is permanently adjusted (or
locked) and cannot be readjusted or released
even if the lever is moved back.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BRAKE LAMP
SWITCH
NOTE: Before proceeding with this diagnostic test,
verify the adjustment lever on the back of the
switch is in the adjusted position. If the lever is in
the non-adjusted (diagonal) position it may have
never been adjusted (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/BRAKE LAMP
SWITCH - OPERATION). For adjustment, (Refer to 8
- ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/

If the electrical circuit has been tested and the
brake lamp switch is suspected of being faulty, it can
be tested using the following method.
(1) Remove the switch from the vehicle. (Refer to 8
- ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/
BRAKE LAMP SWITCH - REMOVAL)
(2) With the switch in the released position
(plunger extended), use an ohmmeter to test each of
the three internal switches as shown (Fig. 1). You
should achieve the results as listed in the figure.

OVERHEAD CONSOLE
DESCRIPTION
Three overhead consoles options are available on
this vehicle. These options are:
²The Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)
²The Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC)
All consoles are equipped with two reading/cour-
tesy lamps and if the vehicle is equipped with a
power liftgate or power sliding door(s) the overhead
console will also include switches for these features.
The overhead console is mounted with one screw and
two snap clips to a molded plastic retainer bracket
located above the headliner.
DESCRIPTION - COMPASS
All overhead consoles include compass information.
While in the compass/temperature mode, the com-
pass will display the direction in which the vehicle is
pointed using the eight major compass headings
(Examples: north is N, northeast is NE). The self-cal-
ibrating compass unit requires no adjusting in nor-
mal use. The only calibration that may be necessary
is to drive the vehicle in three complete circles at 5
to 8 kilometers-per-hour (3 to 5 miles-per-hour), on
level ground, for a minimum of forty-eight seconds.
This will reorient the compass unit to its vehicle.
8M - 2 OVERHEAD CONSOLERS

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TEST
A self-diagnostic test is used to determine that the
electronics module is operating properly, and that all
the PCI data bus messages are being received for ini-
tial operation. Initiate the self-diagnostic test as fol-
lows:
(1) With the ignition switch in the Off position, on
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) and
Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) equipped vehi-
cles simultaneously depress and hold theSTEPand
theRESETbuttons. On Compass Temperature Mod-
ule (CT) equipped vehicles depress theC/Tand the
US/Mpush buttons.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
(3) Following completion of these tests, the elec-
tronics module will display one of the following mes-
sages:
a.Pass Self Test (EVIC only), PASS (CT,
CMTC)- The electronics module is working properly.
b.Failed Self Test (EVIC only), FAIL (CT,
CMTC)- The electronics module has an internal fail-
ure. The electronics module is faulty and must be
replaced.
NOTE: If the compass functions, but accuracy is
suspect, it may be necessary to perform a variation
adjustment. This procedure allows the compass
unit to accommodate variations in the earth's mag-
netic field strength, based on geographic location.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE -
STANDARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS VARIATION
ADJUSTMENT).
NOTE: If the compass reading display is blank and
only ªCALº appears in the display, demagnetizing
may be necessary to remove excessive residual
magnetic fields from the vehicle. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE - STANDARD PRO-
CEDURE - COMPASS DEMAGNETIZING).
STANDARD PROCEDURE
COMPASS CALIBRATION
CAUTION: Do not place any external magnets, such
as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the vicinity of
the compass. Do not use magnetic tools when ser-
vicing the overhead console.The electronic compass unit features a self-cali-
brating design, which simplifies the calibration pro-
cedure. This feature automatically updates the
compass calibration while the vehicle is being driven.
This allows the compass unit to compensate for small
changes in the residual magnetism the vehicle may
acquire during normal use. If the compass readings
appear to be erratic or out of calibration, perform the
following calibration procedure. Also, new service
replacement Electronic Modules (EVIC, CMTC, CT)
must have their compass calibrated using this proce-
dure. Do not attempt to calibrate the compass near
large metal objects such as other vehicles, large
buildings, or bridges; or, near overhead or under-
ground power lines.
NOTE: Whenever the compass is calibrated manu-
ally, the variance number must also be reset. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE - STAN-
DARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS VARIATION
ADJUSTMENT).
Calibrate the compass manually as follows:
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. If
the compass/thermometer data is not currently being
displayed, momentarily depress and release the C/T
push button to reach the compass/thermometer dis-
play.
(2) On Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) and Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC)
equipped vehicles depress the Reset push button and
hold the button until ªCALº appears in the display.
This takes about ten seconds, and appears about five
seconds after ªVAR = XXº is displayed. On Compass
Temperature Module (CT) equipped vehicles depress
the C/T push button and US/M push button down
until ªCALº appears in the display. This takes about
ten seconds, and appears about five seconds after
ªVAR = XXº is displayed.
(3) Release the push button(s).
(4) Drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from
large metal objects and power lines, through three or
more complete circles at between five and eight kilo-
meters-per-hour (three and five miles-per-hour) for a
minimum of 48 seconds. The ªCALº message will dis-
appear from the display to indicate that the compass
is now calibrated.
NOTE: If the ªCALº message remains in the display,
either there is excessive magnetism near the com-
pass, or the unit is faulty. Repeat the calibration
procedure one more time.

OVERHEAD CONSOLE
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO
CENTER
DESCRIPTION
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
is located in the overhead console. The EVIC features
a large Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) screen for
displaying information, and back-lit push button
switches labeled C/T (compass/thermometer), RESET,
STEP, and MENU. The EVIC module contains a cen-
tral processing unit and interfaces with other elec-
tronic modules in the vehicle over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus circuit.
The EVIC ªMenuº push button provides the vehicle
operator with a user interface, which allows the
selection of several optional customer programmable
electronic features to suit individual preferences.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE/
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER - STAN-
DARD PROCEDURE - ELECTRONIC VEHICLE
INFORMATION CENTER PROGRAMMING).
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional univer-
sal transmitter transceiver, the EVIC will also dis-
play messages and an icon indicating when the
universal transmitter transceiver is being trained,
which of the three transmitter buttons is transmit-
ting, and when the transceiver is cleared.Data input for all EVIC functions, including VFD
dimming level, is received through the PCI data bus
circuit. The EVIC module uses its internal program-
ming and all of its data inputs to calculate and dis-
play the requested data. If the data displayed is
incorrect, perform the SELF - DIAGNOSTIC TEST
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If these tests prove
inconclusive, the use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the
proper diagnostic procedures information are recom-
mended for further testing of the EVIC module and
the PCI data bus circuit.
The EVIC module cannot be repaired, and is avail-
able for service only as a unit. This unit includes the
plastic module and display lens. If any of these com-
ponents is faulty or damaged, the complete EVIC
module must be replaced.
OPERATION
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
uses both non-switched and ignition switched sources
of battery current so that some of its features remain
operational at any time, while others may only oper-
ate with the ignition switch in the On position. When
the ignition switch is turned to the On position, the
EVIC module Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD)
will return to the last function being displayed before
the ignition was turned to the Off position.
The compass/thermometer display is the normal
EVIC display. With the ignition switch in the On
position, momentarily depressing and releasing the
C/T (compass/thermometer) push button switch will
cause the EVIC to return to the compass/thermome-
ter/trip computer display mode from any other mode.
While in the compass/thermometer/trip computer dis-
play mode, momentarily depressing and releasing the
Step push button will step through the available trip
computer display options.
The EVIC trip computer features several functions
that can be reset. The functions that can be reset
are:
²Average fuel economy
²Trip odometer
²Elapsed time
With the ignition switch in the On position and
with one of the functions of the trip computer that
can be reset currently displayed, depressing the
Reset push button twice within four seconds will per-
form a global reset, and all of the trip computer
information that can be reset will be reset to zero.
With the ignition switch in the On position and the
function that is to be reset currently displayed,
momentarily depressing and holding the Reset push
button for one second will perform a local reset, and
only the value of the displayed function will be reset
to zero. A global or local reset will only occur if the

function currently displayed is a function that can be
reset. The distance to service function can also be
reset using the local reset method, but it will reset
back to the Service Interval distance that is set in
the EVIC programmable features mode. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE/ELEC-
TRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER - STANDARD
PROCEDURE).
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) data
is obtained from the Body Control Module (BCM) on
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
Data Bus circuit. The EVIC will display dashes (- -)
for any of the screens it did not receive the bus mes-
sages. The label corresponding to the missing infor-
mation will be lit. If no EVIC data is displayed,
check the PCI Data Bus circuit communications and
the BCM. If the dimming level is improper check the
PCI Data Bus circuit.
The use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the proper
diagnostic procedures information are recommended
for further testing of the EVIC module and the PCI
data bus circuit. Perform the SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
TEST before replacing the EVIC module (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE - DIAGNO-
SIS AND TESTING).

UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER
DESCRIPTION
A Universal Transmitter transceiver is available on
some vehicles. The universal transmitter transceiver
is integral to the Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC) and the Compass Mini-Trip Computer
(CMTC) modules, which are located in the overhead
console. The only visible component of the universal
transmitter are the three transmitter push buttons
centered between the modules push buttons located
just rearward of the display screen in the overhead
console. The three universal transmitter push but-
tons are identified with one, two or three light indi-
cators so that they can be easily identified.
Each of the three universal transmitter push but-
tons controls an independent radio transmitter chan-
nel. Each of these three channels can be trained to
transmit a different radio frequency signal for the
remote operation of garage door openers, motorized
gate openers, home or office lighting, security sys-
tems or just about any other device that can be
equipped with a radio receiver in the 286 to 399
MegaHertz (MHz) frequency range for remote opera-
tion. The universal transmitter is capable of operat-
ing systems using either rolling code or non-rolling
code technology.
The electronics module displays messages and a
small house-shaped icon with one, two or three dots
corresponding to the three transmitter buttons to
indicate the status of the universal transmitter. The
EVIC messages are:
²Cleared Channels- Indicates that all of the
transmitter codes stored in the universal transmitter
have been successfully cleared.
²Training- Indicates that the universal trans-
mitter is in its transmitter learning mode.
²Trained- Indicates that the universal transmit-
ter has successfully acquired a new transmitter code.
²Transmit- Indicates that a trained universal
transmitter button has been depressed and that the
universal transmitter is transmitting.
The universal transmitter cannot be repaired, and
is available for service only as a unit with the EVIC
or CMTC modules. If any of these components is
faulty or damaged, the complete EVIC or CMTC
module must be replaced.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER
If both the Universal Transmitter and the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) are inoper-
ative, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD
CONSOLE/ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER
- DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If the Universal
Transmitter is inoperative, but the EVIC is operating
normally, retrain the Transmitter with a known good
transmitter (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD
CONSOLE/UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER - STAN-
DARD PROCEDURE - SETTING TRANSMITTER
CODES). If the unit is still inoperative, test the uni-
versal transmitter with the Radio Frequency Detec-
tor special tool as described below (Fig. 4):
(1) Turn the Radio Frequency (RF) Detector ON. A
ªchirpº will sound and the green power LED will
light. If the green LED does not light, replace the
battery.
(2) Hold the RF detector within one inch of the
TRAINED universal transmitter and press any of the
transmitters buttons.
(3) The red signal detection LEDs will light and
the tool will beep if a radio signal is detected. Repeat
this test three times.

AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Ambient air temperature is monitored by the over-
head console through ambient temperature messages
received from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
over the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus circuit. The PCM receives a hard
wired input from the ambient temperature sensor.
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resis-
tor mounted to a bracket that is secured with a screw
to the right side of the headlamp mounting module
grille opening, behind the radiator grille and in front
of the engine compartment.
For additional information on the PCM, (Refer to 8
- ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE -
DESCRIPTION).
OPERATION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable
resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
resistance in the sensor changes as temperature
changes, changing the temperature sensor signal cir-
cuit voltage to the PCM. Based upon the resistance
in the sensor, the PCM senses a specific voltage on
the temperature sensor signal circuit, which it is pro-
grammed to correspond to a specific temperature.
The PCM then sends the proper ambient tempera-
ture messages to the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)/Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC)
over the Programmable Communication Interface
(PCI) data bus.
The thermometer function is supported by the
ambient temperature sensor, a wiring circuit, the
PCM, the PCI data bus, and the Electronics module.
If any portion of the ambient temperature sensor cir-
cuit fails, the PCM will self-diagnose the circuit.
The ambient temperature sensor circuit can also be
diagnosed manually (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
OVERHEAD CONSOLE/AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR
- DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AMBIENT TEM-
PERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT). If the temperature
sensor and circuit are confirmed to be OK, but the
temperature display is inoperative or incorrect,
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING) to determine the cause.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropri-
ate wiring information.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor wire har-
ness connector.
(2) Measure the resistance of the ambient temper-
ature sensor. At room temperature (approx. 68ÉF),
the sensor resistance should be between 10-13 Kilo-
hms. The sensor resistance should be between these
two values at 68ÉF. If the resistance is out of range
replace the ambient temperature sensor.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor wire har-
ness connector and the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) wire harness connector.
