RELAY CIRCUIT TEST
(1) The relay common feed terminal cavity (30) is
connected to battery voltage and should be hot at all
times. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the open
circuit to the PDC fuse as required.
(2) The relay normally closed terminal (87A) is
connected to terminal 30 in the de-energized position,
but is not used for this application. Go to Step 3.
(3) The relay normally open terminal (87) is con-
nected to the common feed terminal (30) in the ener-
gized position. This terminal supplies battery voltage
to the starter solenoid field coils. There should be
continuity between the cavity for relay terminal 87
and the starter solenoid terminal at all times. If OK,
go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open circuit to the
starter solenoid as required.
(4) The coil battery terminal (85) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. It is energized when
the ignition switch is held in the Start position and
the clutch pedal is depressed (manual trans). Check
for battery voltage at the cavity for relay terminal 86
with the ignition switch in the Start position and the
clutch pedal is depressed (manual trans), and no
voltage when the ignition switch is released to the
On position. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, check for
an open or short circuit to the ignition switch and
repair, if required. If the circuit to the ignition switch
is OK, see the Ignition Switch Test procedure in this
group.
(5) The coil ground terminal (86) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. It is grounded by the
PCM if the conditions are right to start the car. For
automatic trans. cars the PCM must see Park Neu-
tral switch low and near zero engine speed (rpm).
For manual trans. cars the PCM only needs to see
near zero engine speed (rpm) and low clutch inter-
lock input and see near zero engine speed (rpm). To
diagnose the Park Neutral switch of the trans range
sensor refer to the transaxle section. Check for conti-
nuity to ground while the ignition switch is in the
start position and if equipped the clutch pedal
depressed. If not OK and the vehicle has an auto-
matic trans. verify Park Neutral switch operation. If
that checks OK check for continuity between PCM
and the terminal 86. Repair open circuit as required.
Also check the clutch interlock switch operation if
equipped with a manual transmission. If OK, the
PCM may be defective.
SAFETY SWITCHES
For diagnostics of the Transmission Range Sensor,
refer to the Transaxle section for more information.
If equipped with Clutch Interlock/Upstop Switch,
refer to Diagnosis and Testing in the Clutch section.
IGNITION SWITCH
After testing starter solenoid and relay, test igni-
tion switch and wiring. Refer to the Ignition Section
or Wiring Diagrams for more information. Check all
wiring for opens or shorts, and all connectors for
being loose or corroded.
BATTERY
For battery diagnosis and testing, refer to the Bat-
tery section for procedures.
ALL RELATED WIRING AND CONNECTORS
Refer to Wiring Diagrams for more information.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FEED CIRCUIT
RESISTANCE TEST
Before proceeding with this operation, review Diag-
nostic Preparation and Starter Feed Circuit Tests.
The following operation will require a voltmeter,
accurate to 1/10 of a volt.
CAUTION: Ignition and Fuel systems must be dis-
abled to prevent engine start while performing the
following tests.
(1) To disable the Ignition and Fuel systems, dis-
connect the Automatic Shutdown Relay (ASD). The
ASD relay is located in the Power Distribution Cen-
ter (PDC). Refer to the PDC cover for proper relay
location.
(2) Gain access to battery terminals.
(3) With all wiring harnesses and components
properly connected, perform the following:
(a) Connect the negative lead of the voltmeter to
the battery negative post, and positive lead to the
battery negative cable clamp. Rotate and hold the
ignition switch in the START position. Observe the
voltmeter. If voltage is detected, correct poor con-
tact between cable clamp and post.
(b) Connect positive lead of the voltmeter to the
battery positive post, and negative lead to the bat-
tery positive cable clamp. Rotate and hold the igni-
tion switch key in the START position. Observe the
voltmeter. If voltage is detected, correct poor con-
tact between the cable clamp and post.
(c) Connect negative lead of voltmeter to battery
negative terminal, and positive lead to engine
block near the battery cable attaching point.
Rotate and hold the ignition switch in the START
position. If voltage reads above 0.2 volt, correct
poor contact at ground cable attaching point. If
voltage reading is still above 0.2 volt after correct-
ing poor contacts, replace ground cable.

STARTING (Continued)
Page 347 of 2339

OPERATION
When the rear window defogger button is
depressed to the On position, current is directed to
the rear defogger grid lines and the heated power
mirrors (if equipped). The heated grid lines heat the
glass to help clear the rear window and side mirror
surfaces of fog or frost.
The electric backlight (EBL) system is controlled
by a momentary switch located in the A/C-heater
control on the instrument panel. A yellow indicator in
the switch will illuminate to indicate when the sys-
tem is turned on. The integrated power module (IPM)
contains the EBL system control circuitry.
NOTE: The rear window defogger turns off automat-
ically after approximately 10 minutes of initial oper-
ation. Each following activation cycle of the
defogger system will last approximately five min-
utes.
The EBL system will be automatically turned off
after a programmed time interval of about ten min-
utes. After the initial time interval has expired, if the
defogger switch is turned on again during the same
ignition cycle, the defogger system will automatically
turn off after about five minutes.
The EBL system will automatically shut off if the
ignition switch is turned to the Off position, or it can
be turned off manually by depressing the defogger
switch a second time.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
ELECTRIC BACKLIGHT (EBL) SYSTEM
NOTE: Illumination of the defogger switch indicator
lamp means that there is electrical current available
at the output of the rear window defogger logic cir-
cuitry, but does not confirm that the electrical cur-
rent is reaching the rear glass heating grid lines.
NOTE: For circuit descriptions and diagrams of the
rear window defogger system, refer to 8W - WIRING
DIAGRAM INFORMATION.
Operation of the electrical backlight (EBL) system
can be confirmed by the following:(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Set
the defogger switch in the On position. The rear win-
dow defogger operation can be checked by feeling the
rear window glass. A distinct difference in tempera-
ture between the grid lines and the adjacent clear
glass can be detected within three to four minutes of
operation.
(2) If a temperature difference is not detected, use
a 12-volt DC voltmeter and contact the rear glass
heating grid terminal B with the negative lead, and
terminal A with the positive lead (Fig. 2). The volt-
meter should read battery voltage. If the voltmeter
does not read battery voltage, check the following:
²Confirm that the ignition switch is in the On
position.
²Make sure that the rear glass heating grid feed
wire and ground wire are connected to the terminals.
Confirm that the ground wire has continuity to
ground.
²Check that fuse 13 (40 amp) in the integrated
power module (IPM) is OK. The fuse must be tight in
it's receptacle and all electrical connections must be
secure.
(3) When the above steps have been completed and
the rear glass heating grid is still inoperative, one or
more of the following is faulty. It may be necessary to
connect a DRBIIItscan tool to perform further diag-
nostics. Refer to Body Diagnostic Procedures.
²Rear window defogger switch in the A/C-heater
control.
²J1850 bus communication between the A/C-
heater control and the front control module (FCM).
²Rear window defogger (EBL) relay in the IPM.
²Rear window defogger (EBL) relay control circu-
ity in the IPM.
²Check for a loose wire connector or a wire
pushed out of a connector.
²Rear window grid lines (all grid lines would
have to be broken, or the power feed or ground wire
not connected, for the entire heating grid to be inop-
erative).
(4) If the system operation has been verified but
defogger switch LED indicator does not illuminate,
replace the A/C-heater control.

(5) If broken defogger grid lines are suspected, use
a 12-volt DC voltmeter and contact terminal B with
the negative lead and each rear glass heating grid
line at it's mid-point with the positive lead. The volt-
meter should read approximately 6 volts at each grid
line mid-point C. If the voltmeter does not read
approximately 6 volts, repair the open grid line(s)
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HEATED GLASS/REAR
WINDOW DEFOGGER GRID - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE).
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The rear window defogger (EBL) relay (Fig. 3) is a
International Standards Organization (ISO)-type
relay. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications
have common physical dimensions, current capaci-
ties, terminal patterns, and terminal functions. The
rear window defogger relay is a electromechanical
device that switches battery current through a fuse
in the integrated power module (IPM) to the rear
window defogger grid and switches battery current
through a positive thermal coefficient (PTC) in the
IPM to the outside mirror heating grids. The relay isenergized when the relay coil is provided a ground
path by the rear window defogger relay control in the
front control module (FCM).
The rear window defogger (EBL) relay is located in
the IPM in the engine compartment. See the fuse
and relay layout map on the inner surface of the
cover of the IPM for rear window defogger relay iden-
tification and location.
The rear window defogger (EBL) relay cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if damaged or faulty, it
must be replaced.
OPERATION
The ISO-standard rear window defogger (EBL)
relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a resistor or
diode, and three (two fixed and one movable) electri-
cal contacts. The movable (common feed) relay con-
tact is held against one of the fixed contacts
(normally closed) by spring pressure. When the elec-
tromagnetic coil is energized, it draws the movable
contact away from the normally closed fixed contact,
and holds it against the other (normally open) fixed
contact.
When the electromagnetic coil is de-energized,
spring pressure returns the movable contact to the
normally closed position. The resistor is connected in
parallel with the electromagnetic coil in the relay,
and helps to dissipate voltage spikes that are pro-
duced when the coil is de-energized.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information for
diagnosis and testing of the EBL relay and for com-
plete EBL system wiring diagrams.

REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The switch for the EBL system is integrated into
the A/C-heater control located in the center of the
instrument panel (Fig. 5).
When the rear window defogger switch is turned to
the ON position, current is directed to the rear defog-
ger grid lines and the heated power mirrors (if
equipped). The heated grid lines heat the glass to
help clear the surface of fog or frost.
OPERATION
Depressing the rear window defogger switch ener-
gizes the A/C-heater control module which then
requests the front control module (FCM) to activate
the rear window defogger (EBL) relay via the com-
munication bus. The EBL relay controls the current
to flow to the grids of the rear window defogger and
the heated power side view mirrors. The EBL relay
will be on for approximately 10 minutes or until the
control switch or ignition is turned off. An amber
indicator lamp in the defogger switch illuminates to
indicate when the EBL system is On.
The rear window defogger switch and indicator
lamp cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged,
the entire A/C-heater control must be replaced.

Hard wired circuitry connects the heated seat sys-
tem components to each other through the electrical
system of the vehicle. These circuits may be con-
nected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system
and to the heated seat system components through
the use of a combination of soldered splices and
splice block connectors. Refer to the appropriate wir-
ing information for complete circuit schematic or con-
nector pin-out information.
OPERATION
The heated seat system components operate on
battery current received through a fuse in the Inte-
grated Power Module (IPM) on a fused ignition
switch output (run) circuit from the Body Control
Module (BCM). The system will only operate when
the ignition switch is in the On position. The heated
seat system will be turned Off automatically when-
ever the ignition switch is turned to any position
except On. Also, the heated seat system will not oper-
ate when the surface temperature of the seat cushion
cover at either heated seat sensor is above the
designed temperature set points of the system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
HEATED SEAT SYSTEM
The most efficient means of diagnosing the heated
seat system is by individual component. For diagno-
sis of a specific component refer to the following:
²Heated seat module, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/MEMORY
HEATED SEAT/MIRROR MODULE - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING).
²Heated seat elements, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/HEATED SEATS/HEATED SEAT ELEMENT -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
²Heated seat switch, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
HEATED SEATS/DRIVER HEATED SEAT SWITCH
- DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
²Heated seat sensor, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
HEATED SEATS/HEATED SEAT SENSOR - DIAG-
NOSIS AND TESTING).
Refer to the appropriate wiring information for
complete circuit schematic or connector pin-out infor-
mation.
HEATED SEAT SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat switches are mounted in the
instrument panel center bezel (Fig. 2). The two three-
position rocker-type switches, one switch for each
front seat, are incorporated into one large switch
assembly that also includes the hazard, rear window
wiper and washer switches. Each heated seat switch
provides a resistor multiplexed signal to its respec-
tive Heated Seat Module (HSM) through separate
hard wired circuits. Each switch has an Off, Low,
and High position so that both the driver and the
front seat passenger can select a preferred seat heat-
ing mode. Each switch has two Light-Emitting
Diodes (LED) which light to indicate that the heater
for the seat is turned on.
The heated seat switches and their LEDs cannot
be repaired. If either switch or LED is faulty or dam-
aged, the entire switch assembly must be replaced.

HEATED SEAT SYSTEM (Continued)
Page 354 of 2339

OPERATION
There are three positions that can be selected with
each of the heated seat switches: Off, Low, or High.
When the left side of the switch rocker is fully
depressed, the Low position is selected and the low
position LED indicator illuminates. When the right
side of the switch rocker is fully depressed, the High
position is selected and the high position LED indi-
cator illuminates. When the switch rocker is moved
to its neutral position (middle), Off is selected and
both LED indicators are extinguished.
Each switch provides separate resistor, hard wire
inputs to its respective Heated Seat Module (HSM) to
indicate the selected switch position. The heated seat
module responds to the heated seat switch status
messages by controlling the output to the seat heater
elements of the selected seat. The Low heat position
set point is about 36É C (97É F), and the High heat
position set point is about 41É C (105É F).

DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
Power is reduced using pulse-width modulation to
the high beams, where by the power is switched on
and off rapidly instead of remaining on continuously.
The duration and interval of the power pulses is pro-
grammed into the FCM. Daytime running lamps are
functional when 450 rpm's are reached.
HEADLAMP SYSTEM
The headlamp system will default to headlamps
ON position when ignition switch is ON and when an
open or short circuit failure occurs on the headlamp
switch input or PCI data bus communication between
the BCM and the FCM fails. The system will return
to normal operation when the open or short is
repaired. A fault will be reported by the BCM when a
failure occurs on the dimmer or headlamp switch
input.
If the exterior lamps are ON and the headlamp
switch is in any position other than OFF or AUTO
and with the ignition switch OFF (LOCK) after 3
minutes the BCM sends a message via PCI bus to
the FCM informing the FCM to turn off the head-
lamps, park lamps and fog lamps. This feature pre-
vents the vehicle battery from being discharged when
the vehicle lights have been left ON.
HEADLAMP TIME DELAY SYSTEM
The headlamp time delay system is activated by
turning the headlamps ON (high or low beam) while
the engine is running, turning the ignition switch
OFF, and then turning the headlamp switch OFF
within 45 seconds. The system will not activate if
more than 45 seconds elapse between ignition switch
OFF and headlamp switch OFF. The BCM will allow
the headlamps to remain ON for 90 seconds (config-
urable) before they automatically turn off (If the key
is in the ignition during the headlamp time delay
mode, then both the headlamps and park lamps
(including panel dimming) will be ON). Refer to the
Owner's Manual for more information.
If the headlamp switch is in the Auto Headlamp
Position, the headlamps are ON due to the night sig-
nal from the CMTC and the ignition switch is in any
position other than run/start, the BCM shall enter a
90 second (configurable) Auto Headlamps time delay
mode. If the key is in the ignition during the head-
lamp time delay mode, then both the headlamps and
park lamps (including panel dimming) will be ON. If
the key is not in the ignition, then only the head-
lamps will be ON. The BCM will allow the head-
lamps to remain ON for 90 seconds before they
automatically turn OFF. Refer to the Owner's Man-
ual for more information.
OPTICAL HORN/HIGH BEAMS
When the multi-function switch is pulled to the
first detent (optical horn) signal, the headlamps are
ON, key-in the ignition the BCM shall send a mes-
sage via PCI bus to the FCM to turn on the head-
lamps drivers to illuminate all four filaments (Low
and High beams). When the multi-function switch is
pulled to the second detent (high beam) signal and
the headlamps are ON, the BCM shall send a mes-
sage via PCI bus to the FCM to turn on the head-
lamps drivers. The High Beams are illuminated and
the Low Beams and Fog Lamps (if ON) are extin-
guished. If the headlamps were in the high beam
configuration when power was removed from the
headlamps, the headlamps will be configured as low
beam the next time they are activated.
NOTE: For RG - Export vehicles, the low beams and
front fog lamps will remain ON when high beams
are activated.
WARNING
Eye protection should be used when servicing
glass components. Personal injury or death can
result.
Do not touch the glass of halogen bulbs with
fingers or other possibly oily surface, reduced
bulb life will result. Do not use bulbs other
than those indicated in the Bulb Application
table. Damage to lamp and/or Daytime Running
Lamp Module can result. Do not use fuses, cir-
cuit breakers or relays having greater amper-
age value than indicated on the fuse panel or in
the Owners Manual.
Do not use bulbs other than those listed in
the Bulb Application Table. Damage to lamp
