PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
The Park Assist System display activates an audi-
ble tone that changes from intermittent to continu-
ous as the final two Light Emitting Diodes (LED's)
are illuminated on one side or both sides of the dis-
play.
The system detection length from the rear of the
vehicle is 0.3 meters to 1.5 meters. This area extends
around the rear side of the vehicle. The system detec-
tion height from the ground is 0.2 meters to about
1.5 meters. The radio mutes when the system acti-
vates its audible tone.
When the driver selects Reverse the system scans
for objects behind the vehicle using four sensors
located in the rear bumper. A warning display above
the rear window provides both visible and audible
warnings indicating the range of the object.
The system is active only when the transmission
gear selector is in reverse for vehicle speeds less than
16 Km/h (10 mph). If the vehicle's Parking/Emer-
gency Brake is applied, the system is deactivated.
The display contains two sets of yellow and red
Light Emitting Diode's (LED's) that the driver can
see as they look over their shoulder while backing
up. Each side of the vehicle has its own warning
LED's. The system provides a visual warning by illu-
minating one or more yellow LED's as the vehicle
gets closer to the object. As the vehicle continues to
approach the object, one red LED is illuminated and
the system emits a series of short beeps. The tone
will remain constant and both red LED's are illumi-
nated once the vehicle is within 12 inches (30.5 cm)
of the object.
The system can be turned ON or OFF through the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) when
the vehicle is in PARK. If the park assist system is
turned OFF, a single chime will sound and the EVIC
will display the following message ªREAR PARK
ASSIST OFFº, when the vehicle is in reverse.
²Ensure that the rear bumper is free of dirt and
debris to keep the system operating properly.
²Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations
could affect the performance of the system.
²Ensure that the parking brake is not applied.
If ªService Park Assist Systemº appears in the
EVIC after making sure the rear bumper is clean,
proceed to diagnose the system using a scan tool and
the appropriate diagnostic information.
WARNING
On vehicles equipped with airbags, disable
the airbag system before attempting any steer-
ing wheel, steering column, or instrument
panel component diagnosis or service. Discon-
nect and isolate the battery negative (ground)
cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag sys-
tem capacitor to discharge before performing
further diagnosis or service. This is the only
sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure
to take the proper precautions could result in
accidental airbag deployment, personal injury,
or death.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CHIME SYSTEM
Refer to the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures
manual for complete Diagnosis and Testing of the
Chime System.
NO TONE WHEN IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED ON
AND DRIVER'S SEAT BELT IS NOT BUCKLED.
(1) Using a DRB llltscan tool, actuate chime
(BCM actuates).
(2) Using a voltmeter, check for voltage:
(a) BCM has two battery feeds at pin 1 and pin
5 of the 6±way connector.
(b) Pin 5 of the (BX2) 32 way connector of the
BCM for ignition feed.
(c) Check voltage (PX2) connector, pin 34 for 12v.
(d) If voltage OK, go to step Step 3
(e) If NO voltage repair as necessary. Refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The wiring
information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire
and connector repair procedures, further details on
wire harness routing and retention, as well as pin-
out and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices and grounds.
(3) Check drivers seat belt buckle switch input
(from Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) for a
closed circuit when not buckled. If input not seen,
look for open in wiring or switch. The switch is
grounded when belt is not buckled.
(4) Verify Programmable Communication Interface
(PCI) data bus communication between ORC and
BCM.

DTC's until problems have been investigated
and repairs have been performed.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - PINION FACTOR
SETTING
NOTE: This procedure must be performed if the
PCM has been replaced with a NEW or replacement
unit. Failure to perform this procedure will result in
an inoperative or improperly calibrated speedome-
ter.
The vehicle speed readings for the speedometer are
taken from the output speed sensor. The PCM must
be calibrated to the different combinations of equip-
ment (final drive and tires) available. Pinion Factor
allows the technician to set the Powertrain Control
Module initial setting so that the speedometer read-
ings will be correct. To properly read and/or reset the
Pinion Factor, it is necessary to use a DRBIIItscan
tool.
(1) Plug the DRBIIItscan tool into the diagnostic
connector located under the instrument panel.
(2) Select the Transmission menu.
(3) Select the Miscellaneous menu.
(4) Select Pinion Factor. Then follow the instruc-
tions on the DRBIIItscan tool screen.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - QUICK LEARN
PROCEDURE
The quick learn procedure requires the use of the
DRBIIItscan tool. This program allows the PCM to
recalibrate itself. This will provide the best possible
transaxle operation.
NOTE: The quick learn procedure should be per-
formed if any of the following procedures are per-
formed:
²Transaxle Assembly Replacement
²Powertrain Control Module Replacement
²Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly Replacement
²Clutch Plate and/or Seal Replacement
²Valve Body Replacement or Recondition
To perform the Quick Learn Procedure, the follow-
ing conditions must be met:
²The brakes must be applied

STARTING
DESCRIPTION
The starting system consists of:
²Starter relay
²Starter motor (including an integral starter sole-
noid)
Other components to be considered as part of start-
ing system are:
²Battery
²Battery cables
²Ignition switch and key lock cylinder
²Clutch pedal position switch (manual transmis-
sion)
²Park/neutral position switch (automatic trans-
mission)
²Wire harnesses and connections.
The Battery, Starting, and Charging systems oper-
ate in conjunction with one another, and must be
tested as a complete system. For correct operation of
starting/charging systems, all components used in
these 3 systems must perform within specifications.
When attempting to diagnose any of these systems, it
is important that you keep their interdependency in
mind.
The diagnostic procedures used in each of these
groups include the most basic conventional diagnostic
methods, to the more sophisticated On-Board Diag-
nostics (OBD) built into the Powertrain Control Mod-
ule (PCM). Use of an induction-type milliampere
ammeter, volt/ohmmeter, battery charger, carbon pile
rheostat (load tester), and 12-volt test lamp may be
required.
OPERATION
These components form two separate circuits. A
high amperage circuit that feeds the starter motor up
to 300+ amps, and a control circuit that operates on
less than 20 amps.
The PCM controls a double start over-ride safety
that does not allow the starter to be engaged if the
engine is already running.

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).
