CHIME SYSTEM
CHIME INOPERATIVE WITH EXTREME COOLANT TEMPERATURE
NOTE: For connector terminal identification and wiring diagrams,
see BODY CONTROL COMPUTER - INTRODUCTION article. Perform
VERIFICATION TEST VER-1A after each repair.
CAUTION: Always turn ignition switch to OFF position prior to
disconnecting any module connector.
1) Using scan tool, actuate chime. If chime sounds, go to
next step. If chime does not sound, replace Central Timer Module
(CTM). CTM is located under left side of instrument panel.
2) Using scan tool, read Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
DTCs. If no engine coolant temperature related codes exist, go to next
step. If engine coolant temperature related codes exist, see
appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.
3) Due to difficult access of coolant temperature sensor, Oil
Pressure Switch (OPS) will be used to verify CCD bus message from PCM.\
Disconnect OPS connector. OPS is located near bottom of distributor.
Page 304 of 1691
PCM INACTIVE ON BUS, go to appropriate VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS article.
If scan tool does not display PCM INACTIVE ON BUS, go to next step.
4) Turn ignition off. Remove instrument cluster. See
appropriate INSTRUMENT PANELS article. Turn ignition on. Using
external voltmeter, measure voltage between ground and instrument
cluster connector C1 terminal No. 6 (Yellow wire). If voltage is 10
volts or less, repair open Yellow wire. If voltage is more than 10
volts, replace instrument cluster.
ANY CCD CLUSTER LIGHT INOPERATIVE
NOTE: For connector terminal identification and wiring diagrams,
see BODY CONTROL COMPUTER - INTRODUCTION article. Perform
VERIFICATION TEST VER-1A after each repair.
CAUTION: Always turn ignition switch to OFF position prior to
disconnecting or connecting any module connector.
1) Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, select ELECTRO/MECH
CLUSTER. If scan tool displays BUS OPERATIONAL, go to next step. If
scan tool does not display BUS OPERATIONAL, go to appropriate VEHICLE
COMMUNICATIONS article and follow appropriate symptom diagnostics.
2) If scan tool displays NO RESPONSE, go to appropriate
VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS article. If scan tool does not display NO
RESPONSE, go to next step.
3) Using scan tool, select SYSTEM TEST. If scan tool displays
PCM INACTIVE ON BUS, go to appropriate VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS article.
If scan tool does not display PCM INACTIVE ON BUS, go to next step.
4) Push and hold RESET button while cycling ignition key.
Release RESET button when CHEC appears in odometer display. Observe
inoperative light during self-test. If inoperative light did not
illuminate during self-test, go to next step. If inoperative light
illuminated during self-test, verify if light is controlled by an
input to instrument cluster. See appropriate wiring diagram in BODY
CONTROL COMPUTER - INTRODUCTION article. If light is controlled by an
input to instrument cluster, go to appropriate circuits article or
symptom test. See IDENTIFYING VEHICLE EQUIPMENT & SYSTEM PROBLEMS. If
light is not controlled by an input to instrument cluster, system is
currently functioning correctly.
5) Gain access to instrument cluster. See appropriate
INSTRUMENT PANELS article. If defective light is a LED, replace
instrument cluster. If defective light is a bulb, go to next step.
6) Remove and inspect defective bulb. If bulb is burned out,
replace bulb. If bulb is not burned out, replace instrument cluster.
ANY HARD WIRED CLUSTER WARNING LIGHT INOPERATIVE
NOTE: For connector terminal identification and wiring diagrams,
see BODY CONTROL COMPUTER - INTRODUCTION article. Perform
VERIFICATION TEST VER-1A after each repair.
CAUTION: Always turn ignition switch to OFF position prior to
disconnecting or connecting any module connector.
1) Remove instrument cluster. See appropriate INSTRUMENT
PANELS article. Remove inoperative bulb. If bulb is burned out,
replace bulb. If bulb is not burned out, go to next step.
2) Inspect wiring diagram and evaluate which instrument
cluster provides; power or ground for inoperative bulb. See
appropriate wiring diagram in BODY CONTROL COMPUTER - INTRODUCTION
article. Using external ohmmeter or voltmeter, check appropriate power
or ground circuit. If circuit is okay, replace instrument cluster. If
power or ground is not available at appropriate circuit, repair open
Page 306 of 1691
multiple engine sensors have failed, repair ground between splice and
PCM.
12) Connect jumper wire between OPS connector terminals. If
oil pressure warning indicator illuminates, replace OPS. If oil
pressure warning indicator does not illuminate, go to next step.
13) Do not remove jumper wire. Disconnect PCM Black connector
C2. PCM is located in engine compartment on right inner fender. Using
an external ohmmeter, measure resistance between ground and PCM White
connector C2 terminal No. 23 (Gray/Orange wire). If resistance is less\
than 5 ohms, replace PCM. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open
Gray/Orange wire.
14) Check cooling system operation. If cooling system is
operating properly, go to next step. If cooling system is not
operating properly, repair engine cooling problem.
15) Using scan tool, select PCM MONITOR under SYSTEM TESTS.
If scan tool displays PCM ACTIVE ON BUS, system is currently
functioning properly. If scan tool does not display PCM ACTIVE ON BUS,
go to appropriate VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS article.
16) Using scan tool, select MODULE ENGINE CONTROLLER. Read
PCM DTCs. If scan tool displays any charging system related DTCs, go
to appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section
and repair DTC as necessary. If scan tool does not display any
charging system related DTCs, go to next step.
17) Check charging system operation. If charging system is
operating properly, replace instrument cluster. If charging system is
not operating properly, repair engine charging problem.
18) Using scan tool, select BODY COMPUTER MONITORS. Read CCD
BUS ENGINE INFO. If scan tool displays engine RPM, replace instrument
cluster. If scan tool does not display engine RPM, replace PCM.
OVERHEAD CONSOLE CONCERNS
AVERAGE MPH/FUEL ECON INOPERATIVE OR WRONG (CMTC FAILS TO
RESPOND TO INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DIMMING, DISTANCE TO EMPTY
INOPERATIVE OR WRONG, ELAPSED TIME INOPERATIVE/WRONG, SWITCH
ON CMTC INOPERATIVE, TRIP ODOMETER INOPERATIVE/WRONG)
NOTE: If any listed symptoms exist, Compass Mini-Trip computer
(CMTC) is defective. Replace CMTC. Perform VERIFICATION TEST
VER- 1A after each repair.
CMTC SHOWS FAILED
NOTE: For connector terminal identification and wiring diagrams,
see BODY CONTROL COMPUTER - INTRODUCTION article. Perform
VERIFICATION TEST VER-1A after each repair.
Using scan tool, perform AUTO SELF TEST. If CMTC shows
failed, replace CMTC. If CMTC does not show failed, system is
currently functioning properly.
CMTC SEGMENTS FAIL TO LIGHT UP
NOTE: For connector terminal identification and wiring diagrams,
see BODY CONTROL COMPUTER - INTRODUCTION article. Perform
VERIFICATION TEST VER-1A after each repair.
Using scan tool, perform AUTO SELF TEST. If CMTC segments
fail to illuminate, replace CMTC. If CMTC segments all illuminate
properly, system is currently functioning properly.

OVERVIEW OF MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM
The Motorist Assurance Program is the consumer outreach
effort of the Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association, Inc.
(AMRA). Participation in the Motorist Assurance Program is drawn from
retailers, suppliers, independent repair facilities, vehicle
manufacturers and industry associations.
Our organization's mission is to strengthen the relationship
between the consumer and the auto repair industry. We produce
materials that give motorists the information and encouragement to
take greater responsibility for their vehicles-through proper,
