RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP
DESCRIPTION
All cooling systems are equipped with a pressure
cap (Fig. 40). For 5.9L engines, the pressure cap is
located on top of the radiator outlet tank. For all
engines, the pressure cap is located on top of the
coolant degas container. The cap releases pressure at
some point within a range of 97-to-124 kPa (14-to-18
psi). The pressure relief point (in pounds) is engraved
on top of the cap
The cooling system will operate at pressures
slightly above atmospheric pressure. This results in a
higher coolant boiling point allowing increased radi-
ator cooling capacity. The cap contains a spring-

HEATED SEAT MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat module is also known as the Seat
Heat Interface Module. The heated seat module (Fig.
3) is located under the drivers front seat cushion,
where it is secured to a mounting bracket. The
heated seat module has a single connector receptacle
that allows the module to be connected to all of the
required inputs and outputs through the seat wire
harness.
The heated seat module is an electronic micropro-
cessor controlled device designed and programmed to
use inputs from the battery, the two heated seat
switches and the two heated seat sensors to operate
and control the heated seat elements in both front
seats and the two heated seat indicator lamp Light-
Emitting Diodes (LEDs) in each heated seat switch.
The heated seat module is also programmed to per-
form self-diagnosis of certain heated seat system
functions and provide feedback of that diagnosis
through the heated seat switch indicator lamps.
The heated seat module cannot be repaired. If the
heated seat module is damaged or faulty, the entire
module must be replaced.
OPERATION
The heated seat module operates on fused battery
current received from the integrated power module.
Inputs to the module include a resistor multiplexed
heated seat switch request circuit for each of the two
heated seat switches and the heated seat sensor
inputs from the seat cushions of each front seat. In
response to those inputs the heated seat module con-
trols battery current feeds to the heated seat ele-ments and sensors, and controls the ground for the
heated seat switch indicator lamps.
When a heated seat switch (Driver or Passenger) is
depressed a signal is received by the heated seat
module, the module energizes the proper indicator
LED (Low or High) in the switch by grounding the
indicator lamp circuit to indicate that the heated seat
system is operating. At the same time, the heated
seat module energizes the selected heated seat sensor
circuit and the sensor provides the module with an
input indicating the surface temperature of the
selected seat cushion.
The Low heat set point is about 36É C (96.8É F),
and the High heat set point is about 42É C (107.6É F).
If the seat cushion surface temperature input is
below the temperature set point for the selected tem-
perature setting, the heated seat module energizes
an N-channel Field Effect Transistor (N-FET) within
the module which energizes the heated seat elements
in the selected seat cushion and back. When the sen-
sor input to the module indicates the correct temper-
ature set point has been achieved, the module
de-energizes the N-FET which de-energizes the
heated seat elements. The heated seat module will
continue to cycle the N-FET as needed to maintain
the selected temperature set point.
If the heated seat module detects a heated seat
sensor value input that is out of range or a shorted
or open heated seat element circuit, it will notify the
vehicle operator or the repair technician of this con-
dition by flashing the High and/or Low indicator
lamps in the affected heated seat switch. Refer to
Diagnosis and Testing Heated Seat Systemin
Heated Systems for flashing LED diagnosis and test-
ing procedures. Refer toDiagnosis and Testing
Heated Seat Modulein this section for heated seat
module diagnosis and testing procedures.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT
MODULE
If a heated seat fails to heat and one or both of the
indicator lamps on a heated seat switch flash, refer
toDiagnosis and Testing Heated Seat Systemin
Heated Seats for the location of flashing LED heated
seat system diagnosis and testing procedures. If a
heated seat heats but one or both indicator lamps on
the heated seat switch fail to operate, test the heated
seat switch. Refer toDiagnosis and Testing
Heated Seat Switchin Heated Seats for heated
seat switch diagnosis and testing procedures. If the
heated seat switch checks OK, proceed as follows.
(1) Check the heated seat element (Refer to 8 -

(4) Using a voltmeter, backprobe the appropriate
heated seat module connector, do not disconnect.
Check for voltage at the appropriate pin cavities. 12v
should be present. If OK go to Step 5, if Not, Repair
the open or shorted voltage supply circuit as
required.
(5) Using a ohmmeter, backprobe the appropriate
heated seat module connector, do not disconnect.
Check for proper continuity to ground on the ground
pin cavities. Continuity should be present. If OK
replace the heated seat module with a known good
unit and retest system, if Not OK, Repair the open or
shorted ground circuit as required.
REMOVAL
(1) Position the driver seat to the full rearward
and inclined position.
(2) Working under the driver front seat, remove
the two heated seat module retaining screws. Due to
the fact that the retaining screws are installed with
the seat cushion pan removed, a small right angle
screwdriver will be required to access and remove the
screws.
(3) Disconnect the seat wire harness connector
from the connector receptacle on the back of the
heated seat module. Depress the connector retaining
tab and pull straight apart.
(4) Remove the heated seat module from under the
front seat.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the heated seat module under the
front seat.

POWERTRAIN CONTROL
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - PCM
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is located
in the right-rear section of the engine compartment
under the cowl (Fig. 4).
Two different PCM's are used (JTEC and
NGC). These can be easily identified. JTEC's
use three 32±way connectors, NGC's use four
38±way connectors
DESCRIPTION - MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) change, the PCM adjusts its response to the
output devices. For example, the PCM must calculate
different injector pulse width and ignition timing for
idle than it does for wide open throttle (WOT).
The PCM will operate in two different modes:
Open Loop and Closed Loop.
During Open Loop modes, the PCM receives input
signals and responds only according to preset PCM
programming. Input from the oxygen (O2S) sensors
is not monitored during Open Loop modes.

HEATED SEAT MODULE (Continued)

OPERATION
The heated seat module receives fused battery cur-
rent through the Integrated Power Module. The
heated seat switches receive battery current from the
Cab Compartment Node (CCN) only when the igni-
tion switch is in the On position and the engine is
running. The heated seat module shares a common
ground circuit with each of the heated seat elements.
The heated seat system will control the surface tem-
perature of the seat cushion to within the designed
temperature set points of the system.
The heated seat system will also automatically
turn off whenever the ignition switch is turned to
any position except On, or if the engine quits run-
ning. If the ignition switch is turned to the Off posi-
tion or if the engine quits running while a heated
seat is ON, the heated seat will remain Off after the
engine is restarted until a heated seat switch is
depressed again. This helps prevent the vehicles bat-
tery from being drained by the heated seat system.
The heated seat module monitors inputs from the
heated seat sensors and the heated seat switches. Inresponse to these inputs the heated seat module uses
its internal programming to control 12v to the heated
seat elements in both front seats and to control the
heated seat LED indicator lamps located in both of
the heated seat switches. The heated seat module is
also programmed to provide self-diagnostics, if a
problem with the heated seat system is detected. If
the module detects certain failures within the heated
seat system, it will provide a visual indication of the
failure by flashing the indicator lamps in the appro-
priate heated seat switch. The heated seat module
will automatically turn off the heated seat elements
if it detects a short or open in the heated seat ele-
ment circuit or a heated seat sensor value that is out
of range.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT
SYSTEM
HEATED SEAT SYSTEM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
The heated seat system is capable of performing
some self-diagnostics. The following table depicts the
various monitored failures which will be reported to
the vehicle operator or technician by flashing the
individual heated seat switch Light Emitting Diode
(LED) indicator lamps. Refer to the HEATED SEAT
SYSTEM SELF-DIAGNOSIS table for failure identi-
fication. The drivers heated seat switch indicator
lamps will flash if a failure occurs in the driver
heated seat, and the passengers heated seat switch
indicator lamps will flash for a passenger heated seat
failure. If a monitored heated seat system failure
occurs, the switch indicator lamps will flash at a
pulse rate of about one-half second on, followed by
about one-half second off for a duration of about one
minute after the switch for the faulty heated seat is
depressed in either the Low or High direction. This
process will repeat every time the faulty heated seat
switch is actuated until the problem has been cor-
rected.

²Exterior Lighting Fail-safe- In the absence of
a headlamp switch input, the EMIC will turn on the
cluster illumination lamps and provide electronic
headlamp low beam and park lamp request messages
to the Front Control Module (FCM) located on the
Integrated Power Module (IPM) for default exterior
lamp operation. The FCM will also provide default
park lamp and headlamp low beam operation and the
EMIC will turn on the cluster illumination lamps if
there is a failure of the electronic data bus commu-
nication between the EMIC and the FCM.
²Heated Seat Control- The EMIC monitors
inputs from the ignition switch and electronic engine
speed messages from the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) to control a high side driver output to the
heated seat switch Light Emitting Diode (LED) indi-
cators. This input allows the heated seat switches to
wake up the heated seat module if the switch is actu-
ated. The EMIC will de-energize the heated seat
switch LED indicators, which deactivates the heated
seat system, if the ignition switch is turned to any
position except On or Start, or if the engine speed
message indicates zero. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
HEATED SEATS - DESCRIPTION).
²Interior Lamp Load Shedding- The EMIC
provides a battery saver feature which will automat-
ically turn off all interior lamps that remain on after
a timed interval of about fifteen minutes.

Response- The EMIC monitors inputs from the Air-
bag Control Module (ACM) and the Powertrain Con-
trol Module (PCM) to automatically turn on the
interior lighting after an airbag deployment event
ten seconds after the vehicle speed is zero. The inte-
rior lighting remains illuminated until the key is
removed from the ignition switch lock cylinder, at
which time the interior lighting returns to normal
operation and control. This feature, like all other
enhanced accident response features, is dependent
upon a functional vehicle electrical system following
the vehicle impact event.
²Interior Lighting Control- The EMIC moni-
tors inputs from the interior lighting switch, the door
ajar switches, the cargo lamp switch, the reading
lamp switches, and the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
module to provide courtesy lamp control. This
includes support for timed illuminated entry with
theater-style fade-to-off and courtesy illumination
defeat features.
²Lamp Out Indicator Control- The EMIC
monitors electronic lamp outage messages from the
Front Control Module (FCM) located on the Inte-
grated Power Module (IPM) in order to provide lamp
out indicator control for the headlamps (low and high
beams), turn signal lamps, and the brake lamps
(excluding CHMSL).²Panel Lamps Dimming Control- The EMIC
provides a hard wired 12-volt Pulse-Width Modulated
(PWM) output that synchronizes the dimming level
of all hard wired panel lamps dimmer controlled
lamps with that of the cluster illumination lamps.
²Parade Mode- The EMIC provides a parade
mode (also known as funeral mode) that allows all
Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) units in the vehi-
cle to be illuminated at full (daytime) intensity while
driving during daylight hours with the exterior
lamps turned on.
²Power Locks- The EMIC monitors inputs from
the power lock switches and the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) receiver module (optional) to provide
control of the power lock motors through high side
driver outputs to the power lock motors. This
includes support for rolling door locks (also known as
automatic door locks), automatic door unlock, a door
lock inhibit mode, and central locking (with the
optional Vehicle Theft Security System only). (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS - DESCRIP-
TION).
²Remote Keyless Entry- The EMIC supports
the optional Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system fea-
tures, including support for the RKE Lock, Unlock
(with optional driver-door-only unlock, and unlock-
all-doors), Panic, audible chirp, optical chirp, illumi-
nated entry modes, an RKE programming mode, as
well as optional Vehicle Theft Security System
(VTSS) arming (when the proper VTSS arming con-
ditions are met) and disarming.
²Remote Radio Switch Interface- The EMIC
monitors inputs from the optional remote radio
switches and then provides the appropriate electronic
data bus messages to the radio to select the radio
operating mode, volume control, preset station scan
and station seek features.
²Rolling Door Locks- The EMIC provides sup-
port for the power lock system rolling door locks fea-
ture (also known as automatic door locks). This
feature will automatically lock all unlocked doors
each time the vehicle speed reaches twenty-four kilo-
meters-per-hour (fifteen miles-per-hour). Following
an automatic lock event, if the driver side front door
is opened first after the ignition is turned to the Off
position, all doors will be automatically unlocked.
²Turn Signal & Hazard Warning Lamp Con-
trol- The EMIC provides electronic turn and hazard
lamp request messages to the Front Control Module
(FCM) located on the Integrated Power Module (IPM)
for turn and hazard lamp control. The EMIC also
provides an audible click at one of two rates to emu-
late normal and bulb out turn or hazard flasher oper-
ation based upon electronic lamp outage messages
from the FCM, and provides an audible turn signal
on chime warning if a turn is signalled continuously

DESCRIPTION
POWER LOCKS
The power lock system allows all of the doors to be
locked or unlocked electrically by operating a switch
on either front door trim panel. The power lock sys-
tem receives non-switched battery current through a
fuse in the Integrated Power Module (IPM), so that
the power locks remain operational, regardless of the
ignition switch position.The instrument cluster locks the doors automati-
cally when the vehicle is driven beyond the speed of
25.7 Km/h (15 mph), all doors are closed and the
accelerator pedal is depressed. The rolling door lock
feature can be disabled if desired.
This vehicle also offers several customer program-
mable features, which allows the selection of several
optional electronic features to suit individual prefer-
ences.
The power lock system for this vehicle can also be
operated remotely using the available Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) system radio frequency transmit-
ters, if equipped.

DESCRIPTION
The power seat system option allows the driver or
passenger to electrically adjust the seat position for
optimum control and comfort using the power seat
switches located on the outboard seat cushion side
shield. The power seat system allows the seating
position to be adjusted forward, rearward, front up,
front down, rear up, or rear down. The power seat
system receives battery current through a fuse in the
Integrated Power Module, regardless of the ignition
switch position. The power seat system includes the
following components:
²Driver Power Seat Switch
²Passenger Power Seat Switch
²Driver Power Seat Track
²Passenger Power Seat Track
²Power Lumbar Adjuster(s)
Some models equipped with the power seat option
also feature a power operated lumbar support in the
seat back. The power lumbar support allows the user
to inflate or deflate a bladder located in the lower
seat back to achieve optimum comfort and support in
the lower lumbar region of the spinal column. The
power lumbar support shares the battery feed circuit
of the power seat system.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the power seat system. Refer to
Heated Seat Systemfor information on the individ-ually controlled heated front seats. Refer to the own-
er's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the features, use and operation of the
power seat system.
OPERATION
The power seat system allows the driver and/or
front passenger seating positions to be adjusted elec-
trically and independently using the separate power
seat switches found on the outboard seat cushion
side shield of each front seat. See the owner's manual
in the vehicle glove box for more information on the
features, use and operation of the power seat system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER SEAT
SYSTEM
Before any testing of the power seat system is
attempted, the battery should be fully-charged and
all wire harness connections and pins checked to
ensure proper continuity and grounds. For circuit
descriptions and diagrams, refer to Wiring Diagrams.
With the dome lamp on, apply the power seat
switch in the direction of the failure. If the dome
lamp dims, the seat may be jamming. Check under
and behind the seat for binding or obstructions. If
the dome lamp does not dim, proceed with testing of
the individual components and circuits.

DRIVER SEAT SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The power seat on this model can be adjusted in
eight different directions, up, down, front up, front
down, rear up, rear down, rearward and forward.
The power seat switch (Fig. 1) on this model has an
additional switch knob for adjusting the power lum-
bar support. The power seat switch is located on the
outboard side of the seat cushion on the seat cushion
side shield. Refer to the owner's manual in the vehi-
cle glove box for more information on the power seat
switch functions and the seat adjusting procedures.
The individual switches in the power seat switch
assembly cannot be repaired. If one switch is dam-
aged or faulty, the entire power seat switch assembly
must be replaced.
OPERATION
When a power switch control knob or knobs are
actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the power seat
track or recliner adjuster motor. The selected
adjuster motor operates to move the seat track or
recliner through its drive unit in the selected direc-
tion until the switch is released, or until the travel
limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch ismoved in the opposite direction, the battery feed and
ground path to the motor are reversed through the
switch contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to
run in the opposite direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any
direction after the adjuster has reached its travel
limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a
self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from
overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting
of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to con-
tinue, or the motor may be damaged.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DRIVER SEAT
SWITCH
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, refer to Wir-
ing.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the power seat switch from the power
seat.
(3) Use an ohmmeter to test the continuity of the
power seat switches in each position. See the Power
Seat Switch Continuity chart (Fig. 2). If OK, refer to
Power Seat Track Diagnosis and Testing in this
group. If not OK, replace the faulty power seat
switch.
