POWER DISTRIBUTION
DESCRIPTION
This group covers the various standard and
optional power distribution components used on this
model. The power distribution system for this vehicle
consists of the following components:
²Power Distribution Center (PDC)
²Junction Block (JB).
The power distribution system also incorporates
various types of circuit control and protection fea-
tures, including:
²Automatic resetting circuit breakers
²Blade-type fuses
²Cartridge fuses
²Circuit splice blocks
²Flashers
²Relays.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the power distribution system. See the
owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the features and use of all of thepower distribution system components. Refer to the
index in this service manual for the location of com-
plete circuit diagrams for the various power distribu-
tion system components.
OPERATION
The power distribution system for this vehicle is
designed to provide safe, reliable, and centralized dis-
tribution points for the electrical current required to
operate all of the many standard and optional facto-
ry-installed electrical and electronic powertrain,
chassis, safety, security, comfort and convenience sys-
tems. At the same time, the power distribution sys-
tem was designed to provide ready access to these
electrical distribution points for the vehicle techni-
cian to use when conducting diagnosis and repair of
faulty circuits. The power distribution system can
also prove useful for the sourcing of additional elec-
trical circuits that may be required to provide the
electrical current needed to operate many accessories
that the vehicle owner may choose to have installed
in the aftermarket.

hook formations on the lower edge of the glove box
door are engaged with and pivot on three hinge pins
integral to the lower edge of the instrument panel
support structure. The glove box door also serves as
the passenger side knee blocker. A honeycomb struc-
ture between the inner and outer glove box door pan-
els helps to absorb the impact load and distribute it
to the instrument panel structure.
²Steering Column Opening Cover- The steer-
ing column opening cover serves as the driver side
knee blocker. This molded plastic cover has an inte-
gral ribbed plastic liner concealed behind it, for
increased strength and integrity. The steering column
opening cover transfers impact loads to the instru-
ment panel structural support.
²Top Cover- The instrument panel top cover or
base trim is the molded, grained, and color impreg-
nated plastic outer skin of the instrument panel
structural support.
Hard wired circuitry connects the electrical compo-
nents on the instrument panel to each other through
the electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired
circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which
are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by
many different methods. These circuits may be con-
nected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system
and to the instrument panel components through the
use of a combination of soldered splices, splice block
connectors and many different types of wire harness
terminal connectors and insulators. Refer to the
appropriate wiring information. The wiring informa-
tion includes complete circuit diagrams, proper wire
and connector repair procedures, further details on
wire harness routing and retention, as well as pin-
out and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices, and grounds.
OPERATION
The instrument panel serves as the command cen-
ter of the vehicle, which necessarily makes it a very
complex unit. The instrument panel is designed to
house the controls and monitors for standard and
optional powertrains, climate control systems, audio
systems, safety systems, and many other comfort or
convenience items. When the components of the
instrument panel structural support are properly
assembled and secured in the vehicle they provide
superior instrument panel stiffness and integrity to
help reduce buzzes, squeaks, and rattles. This type of
construction also provides improved energy absorp-
tion which, in conjunction with the dual airbags and
seat belts, helps to improve occupant protection.
The instrument panel is also designed so that all of
the various controls can be safely reached and the
monitors can be easily viewed by the vehicle operator
when driving, while still allowing relative ease ofaccess to each of these items for service. Modular
instrument panel construction allows all of the
gauges and controls to be serviced from the front of
the panel. In addition, most of the instrument panel
electrical components can be accessed without com-
plete instrument panel removal. However, if neces-
sary, the instrument panel can be removed from the
vehicle as an assembly.
The steering column opening cover with its inte-
gral knee blocker located on the driver side of the
instrument panel works in conjunction with the air-
bag system in a frontal vehicle impact to keep the
driver properly positioned for an airbag deployment.
In addition, removal of this component provides
access to the steering column mounts, the steering
column wiring, the Junction Block (JB) (removal of a
snap-fit fuse access panel on the left end of the
instrument panel allows access to the fuses and cir-
cuit breakers), the Central Timer Module (CTM), the
Infinity speaker filter choke and relay unit, much of
the instrument panel wiring, and the gear selector
indicator cable (automatic transmission).
In a frontal collision, the glove box door on the pas-
senger side of the instrument panel provides the
same function for the front seat passenger as the
knee blocker does for the driver. The glove box door
also incorporates a recessed latch handle. Removal of
the glove box provides access to the passenger airbag,
the glove box lamp and switch, the radio antenna
coaxial cable, the heating and air conditioning vac-
uum harness connector, and additional instrument
panel wiring.
Removal of the instrument panel cluster bezel
allows access to the headlamp switch, instrument
cluster, radio, passenger airbag on-off switch, heated
seat switches (if equipped), and the heating and air
conditioning control. Removal of the instrument clus-
ter allows access to the cluster illumination and indi-
cator bulbs, and more of the instrument panel
wiring. Complete instrument panel removal is
required for service of most components internal to
the heating and air conditioning system housing,
including the heater core and the evaporator.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of all of the components and systems mounted on or
in the instrument panel.

open circuit to the fuse in the junction block as
required.
(5) The coil ground terminal cavity (85) is switched
to ground through the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). There should be continuity between this cav-
ity and the A/C compressor clutch relay control cir-
cuit cavity of the PCM wire harness connector C
(gray) at all times. If not OK, repair the open circuit
as required.

A/C HEATER CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
Both the heater-only and a/c heater systems use a
combination of electrical and vacuum controls. These
controls provide the vehicle operator with a number
of setting options to help control the climate and
comfort within the vehicle. Refer to the owner's man-
ual in the vehicle glove box for more information on
the features, use, and suggested operation of these
controls.
OPERATION
The heater-only or a/c heater control panel is
located to the right of the instrument cluster on the
instrument panel. The control panel contains a rota-
ry-type temperature control knob, a rotary-type mode
control switch knob, and a rotary-type blower motor
speed switch knob. On models with the optional

BLOWER MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor and blower wheel are located in
the passenger side end of the HVAC housing, below
the glove box. The blower motor controls the velocity
of the air flowing through the HVAC housing by spin-
ning a squirrel cage-type blower wheel within the
housing at the selected speed. The blower motor and
blower wheel can be serviced from the passenger
compartment side of the housing.
OPERATION
The blower motor will only operate when the igni-
tion switch is in the On position, and the a/c heater
mode control switch knob is in any position, except
Off. The blower motor receives a fused battery feed
through the blower motor relay whenever the igni-
tion switch is in the On position.
The blower motor battery feed circuit is protected
by a fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
The blower motor relay control circuit is protected by
a fuse in the junction block. Blower motor speed is
controlled by regulating the ground path through the
a/c heater mode control switch, the blower motor
switch, and the blower motor resistor.
The blower motor and blower wheel cannot be
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced. The blower motor and blower wheel may be
serviced separately, although if the motor is to be
replaced, a blower wheel will come as part of a pre-
balanced assembly.

Procedures follow a logical order to prevent dupli-
cation and wasted effort.
Tips to help you do a better job are found as
NOTES.
RECEIVING
INSPECTION
The following procedures are recommended for
your own protection upon receipt of new vehicles.
When a new car is delivered by the carrier, it should
be inspected to ensure that it is in good condition
and to determine if there is any shortage or transpor-
tation damage.
EXTERIOR
Upon receipt of a new vehicle, check immediately
for:
²Under carriage damage
²Chipped or cracked windshield, broken windows,
and loose or missing moldings and name-plates
²Dents, scrapes, scratches, chips, dirt in paints or
other damage to the body exterior
²Damaged or missing side view mirror(s)
²Missing wheel nuts
²Broken or missing lenses
²Chafing, bruises, cuts, or scrapes on tire side-
walls or tread
²Missing underhood items
²Missing fuel filler cap
²Shipped loose items-license plate bracket, spare
tire, jack and tire wrench, radio antenna, floor mats,
wheel covers, cargo nets, fuses and other items²Ensure that IOD fuse is removed
²Check battery test indicator when easily visible,
or use voltmeter (battery must be at 12.4 volts or
greater). Charge to ensure green dot-visibility, per-
manent damage may occur if battery remains in a
discharged state for any length of time.
INTERIOR
Check interior items such as:
²Rearview mirror
²Accessory control knobs
²Smokers package items
²Keys
²Radio
²Special equipment items listed on shipper
²Owner's Manual and Consumer information Bro-
chures (normally stored in the glove box).
²Cuts, abrasions or stains on interior trim.
NOTE: Remember a careful look at new vehicles
when they are received may prevent problems when
preparing vehicles for delivery to your customers.
MAJOR INSPECTION POINTS
(1) Check operation of hood latch and safety catch-
adjust as required.
(2) Check all fluids for proper level and top off
with the proper fluid as required-engine oil, auto-
matic transmission fluid, brake master cylinder,
clutch master cylinder, power steering, windshield
washer, and cooling system. (Vehicle must be at nor-
mal operating temperature for some of these checks.)
(3) Check brake, clutch, fuel, and power steering
lines and hoses for leaks and clearance from moving
and hot objects-reroute to the proper location and
tighten as required.
(4) Check battery state of charge-recharge if neces-
sary, to ensure green dot is visible or instrument
panel voltmeter indicates 12.4 volts or greater.
(5) Check routing and connections of underhood
wiring, vacuum hoses, refrigerant lines and coolant
hoses for leaks, loose connections and clearance from
moving objects reroute and tighten connections as
required. Install IOD fuse on applicable vehicles.
NOTE: Reset radio, clock, compass, etc., after
installing, if vehicle is being delivered.
