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.

KNEE BLOCKER AIRBAG
DESCRIPTION
The Knee Blocker Airbag (Fig. 29) is located on the
driver side of the vehicle beneath the instrument
panel under steering column cover (Fig. 30).
The knee blocker airbag includes one reaction plate
and one load plate, within which the cushion and
inflator are mounted and sealed. Following a knee
blocker airbag deployment, the knee blocker airbag
and instrument panel assembly must be replaced.
Refer to the proper diagnostic information for diagno-
sis and testing.
OPERATION
The knee blocker airbag is equipped with a single
inflator. When the Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) sends the proper electrical signals to the initi-
ator, the electrical energy generates enough heat to
initiate a small pyrotechnic charge which, in turn
ignites chemical pellets within the inflator. Once
ignited, these chemical pellets burn rapidly and pro-
duce a large quantity of inert gas. The inflator is
sealed to the back of the airbag housing and a dif-
fuser in the inflator directs all of the inert gas into
the airbag cushion, causing the cushion to inflate. As
the cushion inflates, the knee blocker airbag trim
deploy. Following an airbag deployment, the airbag
cushion quickly deflates by venting the inert gas
towards the instrument panel through vent holes
within the fabric used to construct the back panel of
the airbag cushion.
Some of the chemicals used to create the inert gas
may be considered hazardous while in their solid
state before they are burned, but they are securely
sealed within the airbag inflator. Typically, the poten-
tially hazardous chemicals are burned during an air-
bag deployment event.
WARNING: The inert gas that is produced when the
chemicals are burned is harmless. However, a small
amount of residue from the burned chemicals may
cause some temporary discomfort if it contacts the
skin, eyes, or breathing passages. If skin or eye irri-
tation is noted, rinse the affected area with plenty
of cool, clean water. If breathing passages are irri-
tated, move to another area where there is plenty of
clean, fresh air to breath. If the irritation is not alle-
viated by these actions, contact a physician.

INTEGRATED POWER MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Integrated Power Module (IPM) is a combina-
tion of the Power Distribution Center (PDC) and the
Front Control Module (FCM). The IPM is located in
the engine compartment, next to the battery. (Fig. 1).
The PDC mates directly with the FCM to form the
IPM. The PDC is a printed circuit board based mod-
ule that contains fuses and relays, while the FCM
contains the electronics controlling the IPM and
other functions. This IPM connects directly to the

SUNROOF
DESCRIPTION
WARNING: Keep fingers and other body parts out
of sunroof opening at all times.
The sun roof features consists of: (Fig. 1)
²Sun roof glass
²Sun roof sun shade
The sunroof power sliding glass panel and sun-
shade can be positioned anywhere along its travel,
rearward of glass panel front edge.
The sunroof is electrically operated from a switch
located in the overhead console. To operate the sun-
roof the ignition switch must be in the Accessory or
On/Run position. Both switchs are a rocker style
design that open or close the sunroof. When pressing
and releasing the open button once, the sunroof will
express open to the comfort stop and the wind deflec-
tor will raise. If the button is pressed a second time,
the sunroof will continue to open to full travel unless
the button is released, at which time it will stop in
that position. Pressing and holding the close button
will close the sunroof. If the close button is released
before the glass fully closes, the sunroof will stop in
that position. The vent switch operates in a similar
manor. The sunroof will also operate for up to fifteen
minutes after the ignition key is turned off for cus-
tomer comfort and convenance while parking.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
SUNROOF DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Refer to Sunroof Diagnostic Chart for possible
causes. Before beginning sunroof diagnostics verify
that all other power accessories are in proper operat-
ing condition. If not, a common electrical problem
may exist. Refer to Wiring Diagrams, in this publica-
tion for circuit, splice and component descriptions.
Check the condition of the circuit protection (20 amp
circuit breaker in the Junction Block). Inspect all
wiring connector pins for proper engagement and
continuity. Check for battery voltage at the power
sunroof controller, refer to Wiring Diagrams, for cir-
cuit information. If battery voltage of more than 10
volts is detected at the controller, proceed with the
following tests (the controller will not operate at less
than 10 volts).
Before beginning diagnosis for wind noise or water
leaks, verify that the problem was not caused by
releasing the control switch before the sunroof was
fully closed. The sunroof module has a water-man-
agement system. If however, the sunroof glass is in a
partial closed position, high pressure water may be
forced beyond the water management system bound-
aries and onto the headlining.
