DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES
Power for the Anti-Lock brake system is supplied
by two fuses. There is a 15 amp fuse located in the
fuse block cavity 10. This fuse supplies power to the
Controller Anti Lock Brake (CAB), and the ABS sys-
tem relay on the F12 circuit. The F12 circuit also
supplies power to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). Power for the fuse is supplied on the A21 cir-
cuit from the ignition switch. This fuse is HOT in the
START/RUN position.
The second fuse is located in the Power Distribu-
tion Center (PDC). It is a 40 amp fuse. This fuse is
HOT at all times and supplies power to the contact
side of the ABS pump motor relay.
There are three grounding points used in the ABS
system. One is a case ground on the CAB. The sec-
ond is the Z12 circuit at the CAB connector cavity 5.
This ground is spliced, and terminates at the left side
of the radiator closure panel.
The third ground is on the Z1 circuit. This ground
is used for the ABS hydraulic modulator, ABS system
relay, and the ABS pump motor. This ground, like the
Z12 ground splices and terminates at the left head-
lamp ground.
Additional information on the circuit function of
the ABS system is listed below. For diagnostic and
testing procedures, refer to the appropriate section of
the Service Manual or the Diagnostic Test Proce-
dures Manual.
ABS WARNING LAMP
The ABS warning lamp is an output from the Con-
troller Anti Lock Brake (CAB) and the ABS relay
box. It is used to alert the operator of a problem in
the ABS system. The G19 circuit from the CAB and
the ABS system relay is used to detect a problem. If
a problem is detected, the CAB grounds the G19 cir-
cuit and illuminates the lamp in the instrument clus-
ter.
Circuit G19 is also an output of the CAB to the
ABS system relay contact side.
ABS SYSTEM RELAY
The system relay is used for the operation of the
ABS system. Power for the relay is supplied on the
B57 circuit from cavity 57 of the Controller Anti Lock
Brake (CAB).
Ground for the relay is on the Z1 circuit. This
ground is spliced in with the pump motor and termi-
nates at the left headlamp ground.
When the system is operating normally power for
the contact side of the relay is supplied from the
CAB on the B57 circuit. It passes through the relay
to the Z1 ground and terminates at the left headlamp
ground. If a problem is detected in the system, the
contact side of the relay switches from the Z1 to the
F12 circuit. This causes the ABS warning lamp in
the instrument cluster to illuminate.
ABS PUMP MOTOR RELAY
The ABS pump motor relay controls when the
pump motor runs. Power for the coil side of the relay
is supplied from cavity 47 of the Controller Anti Lock
Brake (CAB) on the B47 circuit. This circuit also sup-
plies voltage for the contact side of the system relay.
The ground side of the coil is controlled by the B116
circuit. Circuit B116 connects to cavity 16 of the CAB
connector.
Circuit B120 from cavity 20 of the CAB connector
powers the ABS pump motor. This circuit is also used
as an input to the CAB for pump motor monitoring.
HYDRAULIC MODULATOR
The hydraulic modulator is used for the controlling
of the brake system pressure to the wheels. The mod-
ulator is made up of four solenoids.
Circuits involved are, B142 for the left front wheel,
B143 for the right front wheel, B146 for the left rear
wheel, and B148 for the right rear wheel.
The solenoids use a common ground on the Z1 cir-
cuit. There are two Z1 circuits from the modulator.
Both of these grounds terminate at the left headlamp
ground, and are spliced in with the ABS pump motor
and the ABS system relay.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
The Instrument Cluster, located on the right side
of the instrument panel, provides the operator with
gauges and warning lamps relating to vehicle opera-
tion. All gauges in the standard and optional cluster
are magnetic type and logic driven.
Battery voltage for the clusters warning lamps and
gauges is provided on the G5 circuit. This circuit con-
nects from the fuse block and is protected bya5amp
fuse located in cavity 11. The cluster is powered only
when the ignition switch is in the START or RUN
position. The cluster is also powered on initial driv-
er's door opening.
Illumination lamps, internal to the cluster, receive
battery voltage on the E2 circuit from the 4 amp fuse
located in cavity 12 of the fuse block. This circuit is
HOT only when the headlamp switch is in the ON
position. Grounding for the cluster is provided on the
Z3 circuit and terminates at the instrument panel
left center support.
The M1 circuit also feeds the cluster through a 10
amp fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
This fuse is HOT at all times and also used to power
the underhood lamp, and the interior lamps. The
fuse is also lifted OPEN during vehicle shipping to
reduce battery draw.
SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer and odometer receive their infor-
mation on the G7 circuit from the Vehicle Speed Sen-
sor (VSS) on manual and 3±spd automatic
transmission applications. The G7 circuit also pro-
vides a signal to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM).Logic internal to the instrument cluster adjusts the
position of the gauge pointer to the correct vehicle
speed using the signal on the G7 circuit.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer is connected to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) on the G21 circuit. It uses
solid state circuity to decode the ignition pulses
received from the PCM to adjust the gauge pointer to
the proper position.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The temperature gauge is connected to the engine
coolant temperature sensor on the G20 circuit. The
engine coolant temperature sensor for the gauge is a
combination unit. One side of the unit is used for the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the other side
for the cluster. The sending unit is case grounded to
the engine.
The logic driven gauge moves in response to the
measured resistance of the engine coolant tempera-
ture sending unit.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level gauge is connected to the fuel pump
module on the G4 circuit. The fuel pump module con-
tains the fuel pump and a variable resistor for the
gauge. Grounding for the fuel pump module is pro-
vided on the Z2 circuit and terminates at the left
rear wheel house.
The logic driven gauge moves in response to the
measured resistance of the fuel tank sending unit.
The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor.
As the position of the float arm on the level sensor
changes, the resistor changes the current flow
through the fuel gauge circuit. A change in current
flow alters the magnetic field in the fuel gauge which
changes the pointer position.
PL8W - 40 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER 8W - 40 - 7

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine There are two switches used in this system and
they are wired in parallel form. A parking brake
switch located on the parking brake mechanism will
illuminate the lamp if the normally OPEN switch is
CLOSED. This switch is case grounded.
The other switch used is the brake warning lamp
switch. This switch is normally OPEN. When the
brake system pressure is below a predetermined level
the switch CLOSES and completes a path to ground
from the G9 circuit at the cluster, through the
switch, to the left headlamp ground.
ANTI-LOCK WARNING LAMP
The Anti-Lock warning lamp is used to alert the
driver of a problem in the ABS system. When the
ABS controller determines a problem in the system it
grounds the G19 circuit and illuminates the lamp.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
AIR CONDITIONING-HEATER SYSTEM
The A/C-Heater System is powered by a by several
fuses. Fuse 10, a 15 amp fuse located in the fuse
block, is HOT in the RUN position. This fuse powers
the coil side of the A/C compressor clutch relay
located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
A 30 amp fuse, on circuit A16 located in the PDC,
powers the solid state radiator fan relay. This fuse is
HOT at all times. The 10 amp fuse on circuit A17
located in the PDC powers the contact side of the A/C
compressor clutch relay.
The A/C-Heater blower motor is protected by a 25
amp fuse located in cavity 7 of the fuse block. This
fuse in HOT in the RUN position only. When the
ignition switch is in the RUN position, power is sup-
plied to the fuse on circuit A22. The power leaves the
fuse on circuit C1 and goes directly to the blower
motor.
There is a 4 amp fuse located in cavity 12 of the
fuse block used for the illumination lamps in the A/C-
Heater control. The fuse is HOT at all times.
A/C OPERATION
When the A/C or the defrost switch is put in the
ON position, and the A/C cycling switch, low pressure
cut-out switch, and the high pressure switch are
CLOSED, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
receives a request for A/C.
After receiving this input, the PCM activates the
A/C compressor by grounding the C28 circuit on the
coil side of the A/C Compressor Clutch relay. Power
for the coil side of the relay is supplied on the bus
bar located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
With the coil energized, current flows from the 10
amp fuse in the PDC on circuit A17 through the
CLOSED contacts in the relay, on the C3 circuit to
the A/C compressor clutch.
The A/C compressor clutch receives this voltage
and creates a magnetic field energizing the clutch.
Ground for the coil is provided at the right headlamp
ground.
The connector at the A/C compressor has a diode
located in it. This diode is used to control the inducedvoltage resulting from the magnetic field collapsing
when the clutch is disengaged. The diode provides a
path for the voltage to protect other components and
systems.
The A/C compressor clutch relay is also used by the
PCM to disengage the compressor in a Wide Open
Throttle (W.O.T.) condition.
RADIATOR FAN OPERATION
The radiator fan system used in this vehicle uses a
solid state relay that controls the speed of the radia-
tor fan.
Power for the relay is supplied on circuit A16 This
circuit is HOT at all times and protected by a 30 amp
fuse located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
Ground for the coil side of the relay is controlled by
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). When the
PCM determines the need for fan operation the PCM
supplies the ground path for circuit K173. This cir-
cuit connects to cavity 18 of the PCM connector.
From the relay circuit C25 connects to the radiator
fan motor(s). On vehicles equipped with the manual
transmission only one radiator fan is used. For vehi-
cles equipped with an automatic transmission there
are two radiator fans used.
Ground for the radiator fans is supplied on circuit
Z1.
BLOWER MOTOR OPERATION
With the ignition switch in the RUN position,
power flows from the 25 amp fuse, in cavity 7 of the
fuse block, to the blower motor. Blower motor speed
is controlled by the fan control switch located in the
instrument panel, and the resistor block.
Blower motor LOW speed operation is accom-
plished on the C4 circuit. When the control switch is
moved to the LOW speed position, current is passed
on the C7 circuit through the blower motor resistor
to the C4 circuit. It then flows through the blower
motor switch to the Z8 circuit. The Z8 circuit termi-
nates at a grounding point on the instrument panel
left center support.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE (ACM)
Two different circuits supply battery voltage from
the fuse block to the Airbag Control Module (ACM),
F15 and F25. The F15 and F25 circuits are connected
to separate bus bars internal to the fuse block. Dif-
ferent circuits from the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) and ignition switch supply battery voltage to
the fuse block bus bars.
The F25 circuit supplies battery voltage to the
ACM only when the ignition switch is in the RUN
position. The F15 circuit powers the ACM when the
ignition switch is in either the START or RUN posi-
tion.
An internal bus bar in the ignition switch connects
the A1 circuit from the PDC to the A21 circuit when
the switch is either the START or RUN position. The
A21 circuit supplies battery voltage to the bus bar in
the fuse block that feeds the F15 circuit. A 30 amp
fuse in the PDC protects the A1 and A21 circuits. A
10 amp fuse in the fuse block, cavity 9, protects the
F15 circuit.
When the ignition switch is in the RUN position, it
connects the A2 circuit from the PDC to the A22 cir-
cuit. The A22 circuit supplies battery voltage to the
fuse block bus bar that feeds the F25 circuit. A 40
amp fuse in the PDC protects the A2 and A22 cir-
cuits. A 10 amp fuse in the fuse block, cavity 5, pro-
tects the F25 circuit.
Circuits D1 and D2 are connected to the CCD Bus
and the ACM. The CCD bus is used to provide com-
munications between modules and the universal data
link connector.
The ACM has a case ground and an external dedi-
cated ground, circuit Z6. The dedicated ground con-
nects to the instrument panel right center support.
AIRBAG IMPACT SENSOR
The Airbag system uses a sensor internal to the
Airbag Control Module (ACM) to detect impact. For
information regarding operation of this sensor, refer
to the appropriate group of the Service Manual.
AIRBAG SQUIB (AIRBAG IGNITER)
DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG
Two circuits, R43 and R45, connect the ACM to the
drivers side airbag module squib (igniter) after pass-
ing through the clock spring connector. Circuit R43
from cavity 3 of the ACM 4-way connector connects
to the squib. Circuit R45 from cavity 4 of the ACM
4-way connector connects to the squib. R43 and R45
are a twisted pair of wires.
PASSENGERS SIDE AIRBAG
Two circuits, R42 and R44, connect the ACM to the
passengers side airbag module squib (igniter). Circuit
R42 from cavity 1 of the ACM 4-way connector con-
nects to the squib. Circuit R44 from cavity 2 of the
ACM 4- way connector connects to the squib. R42
and R44 are a twisted pair of wires.
Circuits R50 and R51 are connected from the ACM
to the passangers airbag. These circuits are used to
monitor the pressure switch.
AIRBAG WARNING LAMP
The Airbag Warning lamp is used to alert the oper-
ator of a problem with the Airbag system. The lamp
is illuminated when the Airbag Control Module
(ACM) grounds the R41 circuit. Refer to the appro-
priate section of the Service Manual or Diagnostic
Test Procedures Manual to diagnosis this system.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²Check for blown fuses in the circuit that connect
to the ignition switch and those that connect to the
ACM.
²While the bus bars in the fuse block power the
ACM, they also feed additional components on sepa-
rate fuse protected circuits.
²The ACM has a case ground and an external
dedicated ground. The dedicated ground connects to
the instrument panel right center support.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
The courtesy lamp system is powered at all times
by the 10 amp fuse located in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC). The M1 circuit feeds the courtesy
lamps, which include the trunk lamp, underhood
lamp, visor/vanity lamps, dome lamp, time delay
relay, and the glove box lamp.
HALO LAMP/TIME DELAY RELAY
The time delay relay is used to allow a time-ON
function for the ignition switch halo lamp. Power for
the relay is received on the M1 circuit from the 10
amp fuse located in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC). This is the Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse and
HOT at all times.
When a door is OPENED, or the headlamp switch
is moved to the dome lamp position, a ground path is
provided for the relay on the M23 circuit. This ener-
gizes the relay, CLOSING the contacts. When the
relay contacts are CLOSED, power is provided
through the relay to the M50 circuit.
The M50 circuit supplies current to the ignition
switch lamp in the steering column. Ground for the
lamp is provided on the Z3 circuit. This circuit
splices with the glove box lamp, the ash receiver
lamp, and the PRNDL lamp. The Z3 circuit termi-
nates at the instrument panel left center support.
Circuit M23 is also spliced with the Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) module and the time out relay
located in the fuse block.
TIME OUT RELAY
The time out relay is located in the fuse block and
is used to control the ground path for various interior
lamps. It will also turn the lamps OFF after a spec-
ified period of time, and works with the Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) system for illuminated entry.
Cirucit M2 connects to the relay and supplied a
ground path through the door ajar switches.Circuit M1 is used to supply battery voltage to the
relay. This circuit is proteced by a 10 amp fuse
located in cavity 13 of the Power Distribution Center
(PDC).
Circuit M32 is connected from the relay to the var-
ious interior lamps and RKE module.
PRNDL (TRANSMISSION RANGE INDICATOR)
LAMP
The PRNDL lamp receives power on the E2 circuit
from the 4 amp fuse located in the fuse block in cav-
ity 12. The fuse receives power from the headlamp
switch. Circuit E2 also powers the ash receiver lamp.
When the headlamp switch is moved to the PARK
or ON position, current flows through the fuse to the
PRNDL lamp. The ground for the lamp is supplied
on the Z3 circuit, and terminates at the instrument
panel left center support. This circuit is also spliced
in with the ash receiver lamp, the ignition switch
lamp, and the glove box lamp.
VISOR/VANITY LAMPS
The visor/vanity lamps are case-grounded, and are
operated by a switch internal to the assembly. Power
for the lamps is on the M1 circuit from the Power
Distribution Center (PDC). When the operator opens
the cover, the switch CLOSES, completing a path to
ground illuminating the lamp.
DOME LAMP
The dome lamp receives power from the 10 amp
fuse located in the Power Distribution Center on the
M1 circuit. This circuit is HOT at all times and the
Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse. The ground path for
the lamp is provided in two different ways.
One way is through the door ajar switches and the
time out relay. Circuit M2 connects to all the door
ajar switches from the time out relay. The switches
are case-grounded to the body. When a door is
OPENED, the plunger in the switch CLOSES, com-
pleting a path to ground.
