DOME LAMP
DESCRIPTION
The dome lamp is controlled by the instrument
cluster which provides power at all times, regardless
of the ignition switch position. The ground circuit for
the lamp is switched through the integral dome lamp
switch or through the door ajar switches via the
instrument cluster.
The dome lamp lens and bulb are available for ser-
vice replacement. If either of the lamp switch or bulb
holders is faulty or damaged, the dome lamp assem-
bly must be replaced.
For service of the dome lamp bulb, refer to the
appropriate wiring information.
OPERATION
The dome lamp is activated by the door ajar
switches via the instrument cluster. When all of the
doors are closed, the lamp can be activated by
depressing the lens. When any door is open, depress-
ing the lamp lense to activate the lamp switch will
not turn the lamps off.
The instrument cluster monitors the door ajar
switches. When a door is open the instrument cluster
grounds the low side drivers to turn on the lamp.
Upon closing all doors, the instrument cluster ini-
tiates a 30 second timer. If any of the doors are
opened during the ªtime outº cycle, the instrument
cluster will reset the timer until all doors are closed.
The instrument cluster will faid to off when the doors
are closed and the ignition is turned ON, the time
out expires or the power locks are activated.

DOOR AJAR SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The door ajar switches are integral to the door
latches on each door. The switches close a path to
ground for the Instrument Cluster when a door is
opened.
The door ajar switches cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, the door latch unit must be
replaced. Refer to the Body section under Doors for
the removal and installation procedure.
OPERATION
The door ajar switches close a path to ground for
the Instrument Cluster when a door is opened. The
passenger front door is connected in a parallel-series
circuit between ground and the Instrument Cluster,
while the driver side front door ajar switch is con-
nected in series between ground and the Instrument
Cluster to provide a unique input. The Instrument
Cluster reads the switch status, then sends the
proper switch status messages to other electronic
modules over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network. The door ajar
switches can be diagnosed using conventional diag-
nostic tools and methods. Refer to the Body section
under Doors for the Removal and Installation proce-
dures.

READING LAMP
DESCRIPTION
The overhead console in this vehicle is equipped
with two individual reading and courtesy lamps. The
lamp lenses are the only visible components of these
lamps. Each lamp has its own switch, bulb, reflector
and lens within the overhead console.
The overhead console reading and courtesy lamps
are controlled by the instrument cluster which pro-
vides power at all times, regardless of the ignition
switch position. The ground circuit for the lamps is
switched through the integral reading and courtesy
lamp switches or through the door ajar switches.
Each lamp is designed and aimed to provide illumi-
nation that will be directed only to that side of the
vehicle on which the lamp is located.
The reading and courtesy lamp lenses and bulbs
are available for service replacement. The reading
and courtesy lamp switches, bulb holders and wiring
are only available as part of the overhead console
wire harness. If either of the lamp switches or bulb
holders is faulty or damaged, the entire overhead
console wire harness assembly must be replaced.
For service of the reading and courtesy lamp bulbs,
refer to the appropriate wiring information.
OPERATION
All reading and courtesy lamps located in the over-
head console are activated by the door ajar switches
via the instrument cluster. When all of the doors are
closed, these lamps can be individually activated by
depressing the corresponding lens. When any door is
open, depressing the lamp lenses to activate the lamp
switches will not turn the lamps off.The instrument cluster monitors the door ajar
switches. When a door is open the instrument cluster
grounds the low side drivers to turn on the lamps.
Upon closing all doors, the instrument cluster ini-
tiates a 30 second timer. If any of the doors are
opened during the ªtime outº cycle, the instrument
cluster will reset the timer until all doors are closed.

ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO
CENTER
DESCRIPTION
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
is a module located in the overhead console on some
models. The EVIC module features a large Vacuum
Fluorescent Display (VFD) screen for displaying
information, and back-lit push button switches
labeled C/T (compass/temperature), RESET, STEP,
and MENU.
The EVIC module contains a central processing
unit and interfaces with other electronic modules in
the vehicle over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) J1850 data bus circuit. The PCI data
bus circuit allows the sharing of sensor information.
This helps to reduce wire harness complexity, reduce
internal controller hardware, and reduce component
sensor current loads. At the same time, this system
provides increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics,
and allows the addition of many new feature capabil-
ities.The EVIC ªMenuº push button provides the vehicle
operator with a user interface, which allows the
selection of several optional customer programmable
electronic features to suit individual preferences.
Refer toELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMA-
TION CENTER PROGRAMMINGin the Standard
Procedures section of this group for more information
on the customer programmable feature options.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional univer-
sal transmitter transceiver, the EVIC will also dis-
play messages and an icon indicating when the
universal transmitter transceiver is being trained,
which of the three transmitter buttons is transmit-
ting, and when the transceiver is cleared.
Data input for all EVIC functions, including VFD
dimming level, is received through the J1850 PCI
data bus circuit. The EVIC module uses its internal
programming and all of its data inputs to calculate
and display the requested data. If the data displayed
is incorrect, perform the self-diagnostic tests as
described in this group. If these tests prove inconclu-
sive, the use of a DRB IIItscan tool and the proper
Diagnostic Procedures manual are recommended for
further testing of the EVIC module and the J1850
PCI data bus circuit.
The EVIC module cannot be repaired, and is avail-
able for service only as a unit. If any part is faulty or
damaged, the complete EVIC module must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center is wired
to both constant 12v and ignition switched sources of
battery current so that some of its features remain
operational at any time, while others may only oper-
ate with the ignition switch in the On position. When
the ignition switch is turned to the On position, the
EVIC module display will return to the last function
being displayed before the ignition was turned to the
Off position.
The compass/temperature display is the normal
EVIC display. With the ignition switch in the On
position, momentarily depressing and releasing the
C/T (compass/temperature) push button switch will
cause the EVIC to return to the compass/tempera-
ture display mode from any other mode. While in the
compass/temperature display mode, momentarily
depressing and releasing the Step push button will
step through the available trip computer display
options.
The EVIC trip computer features several functions
that can be reset. The functions that can be reset
are: average fuel economy, trip odometer and elapsed
time. With the ignition switch in the On position and
with one of the functions of the trip computer that
can be reset currently displayed, depressing the

section of this group for the procedures.
AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Ambient air temperature is monitored by the over-
head console. The ambient temperature messages are
received from the Front Control Module (FCM) over
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
J1850 data bus circuit. The FCM receives a hard
wired input from the ambient temperature sensor
(Fig. 7). The ambient temperature sensor is a vari-
able resistor mounted to the underside of the hood,
in the engine compartment.
For more information on the front control module,
refer toFront Control Modulein the Electronic
Control Modules section of this manual. For complete
circuit diagrams, refer toWiring. The ambient tem-
perature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable
resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent to it by the Front Control Module. The resis-
tance in the sensor changes as temperature changes,
changing the temperature sensor signal circuit volt-
age to the Front Control Module. Based upon the
resistance in the sensor, the Front Control Modulesenses a specific voltage on the temperature sensor
signal circuit, which it is programmed to correspond
to a specific temperature. The Front Control Module
then sends the proper ambient temperature mes-
sages to the EVIC, CMTC over the PCI J1850 data
bus.
The temperature function is supported by the
ambient temperature sensor, a wiring circuit, the
Front Control Module, the Programmable Communi-
cations Interface (PCI) data bus, and a portion of the
Electronics module. If any portion of the ambient
temperature sensor circuit fails, the Front Control
Module will self-diagnose the circuit.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer toWiring.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor wire har-
ness connector.
(2) Measure the resistance of the ambient temper-
ature sensor. At 24É C (75É F), the sensor resistance
should be approximately 10.3 kilohms. At 30É C (86É
F), the sensor resistance should be approximately
7.57 kilohms. The sensor resistance should decrease
as the temperature rises. If OK, refer toDiagnosis
and Testing - Ambient Temperature Sensor Cir-
cuitin this group. If not OK, replace the faulty
ambient temperature sensor.
NOTE: The ambient temperature sensor is a very
sensitive device. When testing, be certain the tem-
perature sensor has had time to stabilize (room
temperature) before attempting to read the sensor
resistance. Failure to let the ambient temperature
sensor temperature stabilize could result in a mis-
leading test.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor wire har-
ness connector and the Front Control Module wire
harness connector.
(2) Connect a jumper wire between the two termi-
nals of the ambient temperature sensor wire harness
connector.
(3) Check for continuity between the sensor return
circuit and the ambient temperature sensor signal
circuit cavities of the Front Control Module wire har-

UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER
DESCRIPTION
Some DR models are equipped with a universal
transmitter transceiver. The universal transmitter is
integral to the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) and the Compass Mini-Trip Computer
(CMTC), which is located in the overhead console.
The only visible component of the universal transmit-
ter are the three transmitter push buttons centered
between the modules push buttons located just rear-
ward of the display screen in the overhead console.
The three universal transmitter push buttons are
identified with one, two or three light indicators so
that they be easily identified.
Each of the three universal transmitter push but-
tons control an independent radio transmitter chan-
nel. Each of these three channels can be trained to
transmit a different radio frequency signal for the
remote operation of garage door openers, motorized
gate openers, home or office lighting, security sys-tems or just about any other device that can be
equipped with a radio receiver in the 286 to 399
MegaHertz (MHz) frequency range for remote opera-
tion. The universal transmitter is capable of operat-
ing systems using either rolling code or non-rolling
code technology.
The electronics module displays messages and a
small house-shaped icon with one, two or three dots
corresponding to the three transmitter buttons to
indicate the status of the universal transmitter. The
EVIC messages are:
²Clearing Channels- Indicates that all of the
transmitter codes stored in the universal transmitter
have been successfully cleared.
²Channel ªXº Training- Indicates that the uni-
versal transmitter is in its transmitter learning
mode.
²Channel ªXº Trained- Indicates that the uni-
versal transmitter has successfully acquired a new
transmitter code.
²Channel ªXº Transmitting- Indicates that a
trained universal transmitter button has been
depressed and that the universal transmitter is
transmitting.
The universal transmitter cannot be repaired, and
is available for service only as a unit with the EVIC
or CMTC modules. If any part of the universal trans-
mitter is faulty or damaged, the complete EVIC or
CMTC module must be replaced.
OPERATION
The universal transmitter operates on a non-
switched source of battery current so the unit will
remain functional, regardless of the ignition switch
position. For more information on the features, pro-
gramming procedures and operation of the universal
transmitter, see the owner's manual in the vehicle
glove box.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - UNIVERSAL
TRANSMITTER
If the Universal Transmitter is inoperative, but the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) is oper-
ating normally, see the owner's manual in the vehicle
glove box for instructions on training the Transmit-
ter. Retrain the Transmitter with a known good
transmitter as instructed in the owner's manual and
test the Transmitter operation again. If the unit is
still inoperative, test the universal transmitter with
Radio Frequency Detector special tool. If both the
Transmitter and the EVIC module are inoperative,
refer toElectronic Vehicle Information Center
Diagnosis and Testingin this group for further
diagnosis. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to

allow the driver to adjust both outside mirrors elec-
trically from the driver side front seat position by
operating a switch on the driver side front door trim
panel. The power mirrors receive a non-switched bat-
tery feed through a fuse in the Integrated Power
Module (IPM) so that the system will remain opera-
tional, regardless of the ignition switch position.
OPERATION
AUTOMATIC DAY/NIGHT MIRROR
A switch located on the bottom of the automatic
day/night mirror housing allows the vehicle operator
to select whether the automatic dimming feature is
operational. When the automatic day/night mirror is
turned on, the mirror switch is lighted by an integral
Light-Emitting Diode (LED). The mirror will auto-
matically disable its self-dimming feature whenever
the vehicle is being driven in reverse.
OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR
The heated mirrors include an electric heating grid
behind the mirror glass in each outside mirror, which
can clear the mirror glass of ice, snow, or fog. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HEATED MIRRORS -
DESCRIPTION) for more information.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER MIRRORS
WIRING VOLTAGE TEST
The following wiring test determines whether or
not voltage is continuous through the body harness
to switch.
(1) Remove the power mirror switch (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS/DOOR MODULE -
REMOVAL).
(2) Disconnect wire harness connector from back of
power mirror switch.
(3) Connect the clip end of a 12 volt test light to
Pin 5 in the mirror switch harness connector. Touch
the test light probe to Pin 3.
If the test light illuminates, the wiring circuit
between the battery and switch is OK.
If the lamp does not illuminate, first check fuse in
the Integrated Power Module (IPM). If fuse is OK,
then check for a broken wire.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
POWER MIRROR MOTOR TEST
If the power mirror switch is receiving proper cur-
rent and ground and mirrors do not operate, proceed
with power mirror motor test. Refer to the appropri-
ate wiring information.
(1) Remove the power mirror switch (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS/DOOR MODULE -
