DESCRIPTION
The Door Cylinder Lock Switch (If equipped) is
used to:
²Unlock/Lock all the doors via the Central Lock-
ing feature.
²Arm/Disarm the Vehicle Theft Security System.
²Trigger the Illuminated Entry feature.
The door cylinder lock switch is mounted to the
rear of the driver door lock cylinder. When installed
on the rear of the cylinder, there is a tab on the lock
cylinder that aligns with the switch to prevent it
from turning. An anti-rotating device. The door cylin-
der lock switch is a one time use switch. Once it is
removed from the rear of the door lock cylinder, it
may not be reinstalled and a new switch must be
used.
OPERATION
When the Door Cylinder Lock Switch is turned
either way using the door key cylinder, the BCM
reads a direct message signal from the switch.

POWER MIRRORS
DESCRIPTION
If equipped with power mirrors, the control switch
is located on the instrument panel to the left of the
headlamp switch.
OPERATION
The power mirrors are connected to battery feed at
all times. Each mirror head contains two electric
motors, two drive mechanisms, an electric heating
element, and the mirror glass. If the vehicle is
equipped with the optional memory system, the
driver side mirror head also contains both a horizon-
tal and a vertical motor position sensor. One motor
and drive controls mirror up-and-down movement,
and the other controls right-and-left movement.An optional driver side outside electrochromic mir-
ror is able to automatically change its reflectance
level. This mirror is controlled by the circuitry of the
automatic day/night inside rear view mirror. A thin
layer of electrochromic material between two pieces
of conductive glass make up the face of the mirror.
Two photocell sensors on the inside rear view mirror
are used to monitor light levels and adjust the reflec-
tance of both the inside and driver side outside mir-
rors. This change in reflectance helps to reduce the
glare of headlamps approaching the vehicle from the
rear. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/
AUTOMATIC DAY / NIGHT MIRROR - DESCRIP-
TION) for more information on this system.
The motors which operate the mirrors are part of
the mirror assembly and cannot be serviced sepa-
rately.

OFF and back ON with the forward-facing light sen-
sor still covered. This defeats the day-detect logic. If
OK, go to Step 8. If not OK, replace the faulty mirror
unit.
(8) With the mirror darkened, place the transmis-
sion gear selector lever in the Reverse position. The
automatic day/night mirror should return to its nor-
mal reflectance. If not OK, replace the faulty mirror
unit.
Bench testing both mirrors can be done, of care is
exercised. For an inside mirror, the pin closest to he
mount is 12V (+), the next is 12V (-). The third is
reverse override. The fourth is outside mirror (+), and
the fifth is outside mirror (-).Do not apply 12 volts to
the fourth and fifth pins.With 12 volts on pins 1 and
2, the mirror can be tested by blocking the rear sensor
and shining a light into the forward sensor. For an out-
side mirror, there is a 2±pin connector. Applying 1.2
volts will cause the mirror to dim. If the mirror does not
dim, the entire glass assembly can be replaced just as it
is when the glass is broken.
WARNING: Do not apply 12 volts to the outside mir-
ror. Damage to the mirror will result.
POWER FOLDAWAY MIRROR
SWITCH - EXPORT
DESCRIPTION
These vehicles may be equipped with Power Fold-
away Mirrors. This feature allows both the driver
and passenger side view mirrors to fold inward
(retract) on demand. The vehicle has an additional
switch located on the steering column that controls
the folding function of the mirror assembly (Fig. 2).
The fold-away side view mirror is attached to the
vehicle's door in the same manner as mirrors without
the fold-away option. The fold-away mirrors unique
option is the internal motor which allows the mirrors to
fold inward on demand. The fold-away mirror motor is
not serviceable separately and if a motor is found to be
faulty the entire side view mirror must be replaced.
OPERATION
When the mirror retract switch is depressed, both
of the side view mirrors will fold inward, Thus mak-
ing the overall width of the vehicle the smallest pos-
sible. This can be helpful were parking space is a
absolute minimum.
When the driver's door is opened, only the driver's
door mirror will unfold. If the passenger door is
opened, both mirrors will unfold.
The power fold away mirror system consists of the fol-
lowing components: mirror switch, side view mirror,relay, wires and fuse. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. The wiring information includes wiring
diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connector
pin-out information and location views for the various
wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
REMOVAL
(1)Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
(2) Remove the upper and lower steering column
shroud (Refer to 19 - STEERING/COLUMN/LOWER
SHROUD - REMOVAL).
(3) Disconnect electrical harness connector.
(4) Remove switch from steering column shroud

POWER SEAT SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
POWER SEAT SYSTEM
The power seat system option allows the driver
and front seat passenger to electrically adjust their
seating positions for optimum control and comfort.
The driver side power front seat can be adjusted in
eight different directions: up, down, front up, front
down, rear up, rear down, forward, rearward and
recliner forward and rearward. The passenger side
power front seat can be adjusted in four different
directions: forward, rearward and recliner forward
and rearward.
The power seat system receives battery current
through a 40 amp fuse in the Integrated Power Mod-
ule (IPM) and a 30 amp circuit breaker under the
seat so that the power seats remain operational,
regardless of the ignition switch position.
WARNING: SOME VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH
SEATBACK MOUNTED AIRBAGS (Fig. 1). BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO DIAGNOSE OR SERVICE ANY
SEAT OR POWER SEAT SYSTEM COMPONENT
YOU MUST FIRST DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE
BATTERY NEGATIVE CABLE. THEN WAIT TWO MIN-
UTES FOR THE SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DIS-
CHARGE BEFORE FURTHER SYSTEM SERVICE.
THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE
AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO DO SO COULDRESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
The eight-way driver side power seat is also avail-
able with the heated seat and/or memory seat sys-
tem. The memory seat system automatically
positions the power seat for two different drivers.

self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from
overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting
of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to con-
tinue, or the motor may be damaged.
MEMORY SYSTEM
The Memory Seat Mirror Module (MSMM) receives
battery current through fuse #22 in the Integrated
Power Module (IPM) and the power seat system cir-
cuit breaker, located under the driver side front seat
near the rear edge of the seat cushion pan. The mem-
ory system does not operate with the Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) fuse removed. The MSMM will drive a
maximum of 2 motors at a time in a given direction.
If conflicting directions are requested, the priority for
response will be approximately as follows:
²Seat Track Rearward or Forward
²Seat Front Down or Up
²Seat Rear Down or Up
²Recliner Rearward or Forward
The inputs from these switches to the MSMM is a
current limited battery source fed by the MSMM.
This protects the MSMM printed circuit board traces
from acting as fuses. All of these switch contact
inputs to the MSMM are normally closed to ground,
except when actuated.
For diagnosis of the MSMM, the Programmable
Communication Interface (PCI) data bus, or the other
electronic modules on the PCI data bus that provide
inputs and outputs for the memory system, the use of
a DRBIIItor equivalent scan tool and the proper
Diagnostic Procedures information is recommended.
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
serves as the user interface for the memory system.
It displays memory system status messages and pro-
vides the user with the means for enabling and dis-
abling the many customer programmable features
available on the vehicle, including those for the mem-
ory system.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CON-
SOLE/ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER -
DESCRIPTION) for additional information on the
EVIC.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
POWER SEAT SYSTEM
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
hard wired components and circuits of the power seat
system. However, if the vehicle is also equipped with
the optional memory system, these tests may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the driver side
power seat. In order to obtain conclusive testing ofthe driver side power seat with the memory system
option, the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network and all of the electronic mod-
ules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from
the memory system components must be checked,
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER SEATS - DIAG-
NOSIS AND TESTING).
WARNING: SOME VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH
SEATBACK MOUNTED AIRBAGS. BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO DIAGNOSE OR SERVICE ANY
SEAT OR POWER SEAT SYSTEM COMPONENT
YOU MUST FIRST DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE
BATTERY NEGATIVE CABLE. THEN WAIT TWO MIN-
UTES FOR THE SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DIS-
CHARGE BEFORE FURTHER SYSTEM SERVICE.
THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE
AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
(1) If either power seat is completely inoperable,
check the power seat circuit breaker, located under
the trailing edge of the driver side power seat. If the
power seat circuit breaker is OK, continue to the
next step.
(2) Check for proper battery and ground connec-
tions at the power seat switch and/or memory seat
module. Repair any wiring as necessary.
(3) Check the power seat system wire harness con-
nections and pins to ensure proper circuit continuity
and ground paths.
MEMORY SYSTEM
In order to obtain conclusive testing of the memory
system, the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network and all of the electronic mod-
ules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from
the memory system components must be checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the driver side power seat with the memory
system option requires the use of a DRBIIItor
equivalent scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Proce-
dures information. The DRBIIItscan tool can pro-
vide confirmation that the PCI data bus is functional,
that all of the electronic modules are sending and
receiving the proper messages on the PCI data bus,
and that the memory system is receiving the proper
hard wired inputs and relaying the proper hard
wired outputs to perform its driver side power seat
functions.
(1) If the driver power seat exhibits an interrupted
or jerky motion, ensure the wire harness is connected
correctly. To verify the concern, obtain a DRB IIItor
equivalent scan tool and energize each axis one at a
time. If any axis stops in approximately 2 seconds
(without hitting the end of travel), the feedback for

POWER SEAT TRACK
DESCRIPTION
The power seat option includes an electrically oper-
ated power seat track located under the front seat. If
equipped with Memory System, the front power seat
track on the driver side of the vehicle also provides
the mounting location for the Memory Seat/Mirror
Module (MSMM). The power seat circuit breakers are
mounted on the rear of the power seat track, just
behind the seat rear trim panel. The lower half of the
power seat track is secured to the floor panel via four
studs and nuts that must be accessed from the
underside of the vehicle. Four bolts secure the bot-
tom of the seat cushion pan to the upper half of the
power seat track unit. Four additional bolts secure
the seat back frame to the power seat track unit.
The eight-way power seat track unit includes four
reversible electric motors that are secured to the
upper half of the track unit. Each motor moves the
seat adjuster through a combination of worm-drive
gearboxes and screw-type drive units. Each of the
four power seat track motors used on models
equipped with the optional memory system incorpo-
rate a position potentiometer integral to the motor
assembly, which electronically monitors the motor
position. This enables the memory system to function
by referencing the motor positions programmed into
the memory seat/mirror module.
The front and rear of the seat are operated by two
separate vertical adjustment motors. These motors
can be operated independently of each other, tilting
the entire seat assembly forward or rearward. They
can also be operated in unison by selecting the
proper power seat switch functions, which will raise
or lower the entire seat assembly. A third motor is
the horizontal adjustment motor, which moves the
seat track in the forward and aft directions. The
forth motor is the recliner adjustment motor, which
moves the seat back in the forward and rearward
directions.
The four-way power seat track unit includes two
reversible electric motors that are secured to the
RSPOWER SEAT SYSTEM8N-37
MEMORY SWITCH (Continued)

upper half of the track unit. Each motor moves the
seat adjuster through a combination of worm-drive
gearboxes and screw-type drive units. The horizontal
adjustment motor moves the seat track in the for-
ward and aft directions. The recliner adjustment
motor moves the seat back in the forward and rear-
ward directions.
The power seat track unit cannot be repaired, and
is serviced only as a complete unit. If any component
in this unit is faulty or damaged, the entire power
seat track unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
When the power seat switch control knob or knobs
are actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the power seat
track or recliner adjuster motor. The selected
adjuster motor operates to move the seat track or
recliner through its drive unit in the selected direc-
tion until the switch is released, or until the travel
limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is
moved in the opposite direction, the battery feed and
ground path to the motor are reversed through the
switch contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to
run in the opposite direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any
direction after the adjuster has reached its travel
limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a
self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from
overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting
of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to con-
tinue, or the motor may be damaged.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
POWER SEAT TRACK
WARNING: SOME VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH

Actuate the power seat switch to move the power
seat track adjusters in each direction. The power seat
track adjusters should move in each of the selected
directions. If a power seat track adjuster operates in
one direction only, move the adjuster a short distance
in the opposite direction and test again to be certainthat the adjuster is not at its travel limit. If the
power seat track adjuster still operates in one direc-
tion only, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
SEATS/DRIVER SEAT SWITCH - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). If the power seat track adjuster does not
operate in more than one direction, perform the fol-
lowing tests.
TESTING POWER SEAT TRACK MOTORS
(1) Check the power seat circuit breaker under the
seat. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, replace the
faulty power seat circuit breaker.
(2) Check for battery voltage at the power seat cir-
cuit breaker under the seat. If OK, go to Step 3. If
not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the fuse
in the Integrated Power Module (IPM) as required.
(3) Remove the outboard seat cushion side cover,
(Refer to 23 - BODY/SEATS/SEAT CUSHION SIDE
COVERS - REMOVAL). Disconnect the wire harness
connector from the power seat switch. Check for bat-
tery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of the
power seat switch wire harness connector. If OK, go
to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) cir-
cuit to the power seat circuit breaker under the seat
as required.
(4) Check for continuity between the ground cir-
cuit cavity of the power seat switch wire harness con-
nector and a known good ground. There should be
continuity. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the
open ground circuit as required.
(5) Test the power seat switch, (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/POWER SEATS/DRIVER SEAT SWITCH -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If the switch tests OK,
test the circuits of the power seat wire harness
