DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SYSTEM
For proper operation of the Rear Window Defogger
system refer to the Owner's Manual.
The system consists of a rear glass with two verti-
cal bus bars and a series of electrically connected
grid lines fired on the inside surface (Fig. 1). A con-
trol switch and a timing circuit are combined into a
single assembly.
Circuit protection is provided by a cartridge fuse
located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) for
the heated grid circuit, and by a fuse in the fuse
block for the control circuit.
When the switch is turned to the ON position, cur-
rent is directed to the rear defogger grid lines. The
heated grid lines heat the rear glass to clear the sur-
face of fog or frost.CAUTION: Grid lines can be damaged or scraped
off with sharp instruments. Care should be taken in
cleaning glass or removing foreign materials,
decals or stickers. Normal glass cleaning solvents
or hot water used with rags or toweling is recom-
mended.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH
The rear window defogger switch is a control
switch and timing circuit integrated into a single
panel mounted assembly (Fig. 2). Actuating the
switch energizes the circuit which allows current to
flow through the grid lines. Upon initial actuation for
approximately eight to ten minutes, or until either
the switch or ignition is turned off. An indicating
lamp illuminates a Light Emitting Diode (LED)
inlaid in the control switch.

Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the power distribution system. Refer
to the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of all of the power distribution system components.
POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER (PDC)
All of the electrical current distributed throughout
this vehicle is directed through the standard equip-ment Power Distribution Center (PDC). The molded
plastic PDC housing is located in the left front corner
of the engine compartment, just behind the air
cleaner housing and left of the battery (Fig. 1). The
PDC housing has a molded plastic cover. The PDC
cover is easily removed for service access and has a
convenient fuse and relay layout label affixed to the
inside surface of the cover to ensure proper compo-
nent identification.
The PDC housing is secured to the left inner
fender well an indexing pin and one screw. All of the
PDC outputs are through the integral engine com-
partment wire harness.
All of the current from the generator cable connec-
tion goes to the battery through a 140 ampere fusible
link that is secured with a nut to the positive battery
cable terminal. The PDC houses up to ten six fuse
cartridges, which replace all in-line fusible links. The
PDC also houses up to twelve blade-type fuses, up to
three full International Standards Organization
(ISO) relays, and up to eight mini International
Standards Organization (ISO) relays. Internal con-
nection of all the PDC circuits is accomplished by an
intricate network of hard wiring and bus bars. Refer
toPower Distributionin the Component Index of
Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit
diagrams.

The fusible link, fuses and relays are available for
service replacement. The PDC unit cannot be
repaired and is only serviced as a unit with the
engine compartment wire harness. If the PDC is
faulty or damaged, the engine compartment wire har-
ness assembly must be replaced.
FUSE BLOCK
An electrical Fuse Block is located in the left end
of the instrument panel (Fig. 2). It serves to simplify
and centralize numerous electrical components, as
well as to distribute electrical current to many of the
accessory systems in the vehicle.
The Fuse Block is positioned on a mounting
bracket up and under the left instrument panel. It is
secured by two screws. The fuse block is concealed
behind the left instrument panel end cap. The left
end cap is a snap-fit access cover that conceals the
fuse block fuses. A fuse layout placard is on the back
of the end cap to ensure proper fuse identification.
The fuse block houses blade-type fuses and auto-
matic resetting circuit breakers (Fig. 3). Internal con-
nection of all the fuse block circuits is accomplished
by an intricate network of hard wiring and bus bars.
Refer toJunction Blockin the Component Index of
Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit
diagrams.
The fuses and circuit breakers are available for
service replacement. The fuse block unit cannot be
repaired and is only serviced as an assembly. If any
circuit or the fuse block housing is faulty or dam-
aged, the entire fuse block and instrument panel
wire harness assembly must be replaced.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
All doors can be locked or unlocked electrically by
operating the switch on either front door panel.
When the door lock switch is activated the Remote
Keyless Entry Module provides power to the door
lock motors through relays internal to the module.
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Module also con-
trols the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS).
All doors can be locked or unlocked mechanically
and independently with their respective locking
knobs. The front doors can also be unlocked by actu-
ation of the inside remote door handle.
The RKE Module has three modes of operation
including customer usage mode, dealer lot storage
mode, and shipping mode. The customer usage mode
provides full functionality of the module and is the
mode in which the RKE module should be operating
when used by the customer. Dealer lot storage mode
and shipping modes are reduced power modes meant
to extend vehicle battery life during shipping and
storage in the dealer lot. Dealer lot storage mode pro-
vides limited VTSS and power door lock functions,
but disables the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) func-
tions. This mode is intended to be used when the
vehicle is on the dealer lot to provide VTSS coverageof the vehicle while minimizing battery drain. Ship-
ping mode disables all normal functions (i.e. power
door locks, RKE, and VTSS) of the module, and is
intended to be used when the vehicle is shipped from
the assembly plant.
NOTE: The dealer must remove the module from
ªShip Modeº and place the RKE Module into either
the ªDealer Lotº storage or ªCustomer Usageº
modes of operation after receiving the vehicle from
the assembly plant. Refer to Group 8Q-Vehicle
Theft/Security Systems, Switching Operating
Modes/Configuring a New Module under Service
Procedures.
CENTRAL LOCKING/UNLOCKING
The door locks can be locked or unlocked electri-
cally via the exterior door key cylinders to provide
the central locking/unlocking feature. The central
locking/unlocking feature incorporates a customer
programmable ``Double activation unlockº feature
which operates in the following manner: When
enabled, the first turn of the key cylinder to the
UNLOCK position (toward the front of the vehicle)
will mechanically unlock the door whose key cylinder
is being turned. A second turn of the key cylinder to
the UNLOCK position (within five seconds of the

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
The system allows locking and unlocking of vehicle
door(s), deck lid release, and panic by remote control
using a hand held radio frequency transmitter (Fig.
1). The module must be in the customer usage mode
of operation for the remote keyless entry system to
function.
The receiver may receive signals from up to four
transmitters. Each transmitter has its own code, and
the code is programmed and stored into RKE module
memory. If a transmitter is replaced or additional
transmitters are added, the codes for all units have
to be reprogrammed into the RKE module memory. If
a receiver module is replaced, the transmitter codes
must be stored in the new receiver memory (by per-
forming the steps for programming transmitters).The RKE module is capable of retaining all transmit-
ter codes when power is removed from the module.
Operation of the Remote Keyless Entry system
works in a similar manner to the central locking/un-
locking feature. With the double activation unlock
feature enabled, the first press of the transmitter
UNLOCK button will electrically unlock the driver
door, and a second press of the UNLOCK button
(within five seconds of the first) will unlock all vehi-
cle doors. With the double activation feature dis-
abled, all vehicle doors will unlock upon the first
press of the transmitter UNLOCK button. The vehi-
cle is locked electrically by pressing the transmitter
LOCK button once, regardless of the state of the dou-
ble activation unlock feature. The vehicle is shipped
with the double activation unlock feature enabled.
The deck lid can be unlatched manually via the
key cylinder from outside the vehicle, or by depress-
ing the deck lid release button on the RKE transmit-
ter twice (within five seconds).
The RKE module has three modes of operation
including customer usage mode, dealer lot storage
mode, and shipping mode. The customer usage mode
provides full functionality of the module and is the
mode in which the RKE module should be operating
when used by the customer. Dealer lot storage mode
and shipping modes are reduced power modes meant
to extend vehicle battery life during shipping and
storage in the dealer lot. Dealer lot storage mode pro-
vides limited VTSS and power door lock functions,
but disables the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) func-
tions. This mode is intended to be used when the
vehicle is on the dealer lot to provide VTSS coverage
of the vehicle while minimizing battery drain. Ship-
ping mode disables all normal functions (i.e. power
door locks, RKE, and VTSS) of the module, and is
intended to be used when the vehicle is shipped from
the assembly plant.
