OPERATION - TURN SIGNAL SYSTEM
The Instrument Cluster monitors the multiplexed
multifunction switch. In a turning event the Instru-
ment Cluster senses a change in the turn signal
lever and illuminates the appropriate turn signal
indicator. At the same time, the Instrument Cluster
will send a J1850 message on the PCI bus to the
Front Control Module (FCM). The FCM will respond
by activating the appropriate relay in the Power Dis-
tribution Center.
A chime will sound after the turn is completed if
vehicle has traveled a distance of approximately 1.0
mile and a speed of 15 mph, with the turn signal ON.

PARK LAMP RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The park lamp relay is located in the Power Dis-
tribution Center (PDC) of the vehicle. The park lamprelay is a conventional International Standards
Organization (ISO) micro relay (Fig. 16). Relays con-
forming to the ISO specifications have common phys-
ical dimensions, current capacities, terminal
patterns, and terminal functions.
The park lamp relay cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The park lamp relay is an electromechanical
switch that uses a low current input from the Front
Control Module (FCM) to control a high current out-
put to the park lamps. The movable common feed
contact point is held against the fixed normally
closed contact point by spring pressure. When the
relay coil is energized, an electromagnetic field is
produced by the coil windings. This electromagnetic
field draws the movable relay contact point away
from the fixed normally closed contact point, and
holds it against the fixed normally open contact
point. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring
pressure returns the movable contact point back
against the fixed normally closed contact point. A
resistor is connected in parallel with the relay coil in
the relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and
electromagnetic interference that can be generated as
the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The park lamp relay terminals are connected to
the vehicle electrical system through a connector in
the Junction Block (JB). The inputs and outputs of
the headlamp low beam relay include:
²Common Feed Terminal- The common feed
terminal (30) is connected to the park lamps through

AUTOMATIC DAY / NIGHT
MIRROR
DESCRIPTION
The automatic day/night mirror uses a thin layer
of electrochromic material between two pieces of con-
ductive glass to make up the face of the mirror.
When the mirror switch is in the On position, two
photocell sensors are used by the mirror circuitry to
monitor external light levels and adjust the reflec-
tance of the mirror.
OPERATION
The ambient photocell sensor is located on the for-
ward-facing (windshield side) of the rear view mirror
housing, and detects the ambient light levels outside
of the vehicle. The headlamp photocell sensor is
located inside the rear view mirror housing behind
the mirror glass and faces rearward, to detect the
level of the light being received at the rear window
side of the mirror. When the circuitry of the auto-
matic day/night mirror detects that the difference
between the two light levels is too great (the light
level received at the rear of the mirror is much
higher than that at the front of the mirror), it begins
to darken the mirror.
The automatic day/night mirror circuitry also mon-
itors the transmission using an input from the
backup lamp circuit. The mirror circuitry is pro-
grammed to automatically disable its self-dimming
feature whenever it senses that the transmission
backup lamp circuit is energized.
The automatic day/night mirror is a completely
self-contained unit and cannot be repaired. If faulty
or damaged, the entire mirror assembly must be
replaced.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AUTOMATIC DAY /
NIGHT MIRROR
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appro-
priate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector
repair procedures, details of wire harness routing
and retention, connector pin-out information and
location views for the various wire harness connec-
tors, splices and grounds.

WASHER HOSES/TUBES
DESCRIPTION
The washer plumbing consists of a small diameter
rubber reservoir washer hose that is routed from the
barbed outlet nipple of the electric washer pump/mo-
tor unit on the washer reservoir through a trough
molded into the back of the reservoir above the
washer pump and to the engine compartment washer
hose (Fig. 9). On models equipped with an optional
V-10 or diesel engine, the reservoir washer hose is
routed through routing clips on the top of the radia-
tor fan shroud from the washer reservoir on the left
side of the radiator to the engine compartment
washer hose on the right side of the radiator. The
engine compartment washer hose is contained within
the right headlamp and dash wire harness, which is
routed through the engine compartment along the
top of the right front fender wheel house to the dash
panel.
The engine compartment washer hose is connected
to the washer reservoir washer hose and to the cowl
plenum washer hose with molded plastic in-line fit-tings that have a barbed nipple on each end. The
cowl plenum washer hose is routed from the engine
compartment into the cowl plenum area through a
trough formation located near the right end of the
cowl plenum cover/grille panel. The cowl plenum
washer hose is connected to the washer system check
valve/wye fitting on the underside of the cowl plenum
cover/grille panel. The cowl plenum washer hose and
the two washer nozzle hoses are routed through inte-
gral routing clips on the underside of the cowl ple-
num cover/grille panel. The cowl plenum washer hose
is connected to one nipple on the wye fitting and the
two washer nozzle hoses are connected to the other
two wye fitting nipples. The washer nozzle hoses are
then routed along the underside of the cowl plenum
cover/grille panel to the two washer nozzles.
Washer hose is available for service only as roll
stock, which must then be cut to length. The molded
plastic washer hose fittings cannot be repaired. If
these fittings are faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced.
OPERATION
Washer fluid in the washer reservoir is pressurized
and fed by the washer pump/motor through the
washer system plumbing and fittings to the two
washer nozzles. Whenever routing the washer hose
or a wire harness containing a washer hose, it must
be routed away from hot, sharp, or moving parts;
and, sharp bends that might pinch the hose must be
avoided.

WASHER PUMP/MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The washer pump/motor unit (Fig. 12) is located on
the rearward facing surface of the washer reservoir,
in the right (except V-10 or diesel engine) or left
(V-10 and diesel engine only) front corner of the
engine compartment. A small permanently lubricated
and sealed electric motor is coupled to the rotor-type
washer pump. A seal flange with a barbed inlet nip-
ple on the pump housing passes through a rubber
grommet seal installed in a dedicated mounting hole
of the washer reservoir. When the pump is installed
in the reservoir a barbed outlet nipple on the pumphousing connects the unit to the washer system
through a short washer reservoir hose.
The washer pump/motor unit is retained on the
reservoir by the interference fit between the barbed
pump inlet nipple and the grommet seal, which is a
light press fit. The top of the washer pump is also
secured to the washer reservoir by the use of a snap
post on the motor housing and a snap post receptacle
molded into the reservoir that allows for mounting of
the washer pump without the use of fasteners. An
integral connector receptacle on the top of the motor
housing connects the unit to the vehicle electrical
system. The washer pump/motor unit cannot be
repaired. If faulty or damaged, the entire washer
pump/motor unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The washer pump/motor unit features a small
Direct Current (DC) electric motor. The motor is con-
nected to the vehicle electrical system through a sin-
gle take out and two-cavity connector of the right
(except V-10 or diesel engine) or left (V-10 or diesel
engine only) headlamp and dash wire harness. The
motor is grounded at all times through another take
out of the right (except V-10 or diesel engine) or left
(V-10 or diesel engine only) headlamp and dash wire
harness. On models without the V-10 or diesel engine
a single eyelet terminal connector is secured by a nut
to a ground stud located on the right front fender
inner shield in the engine compartment. On models
with a V-10 or diesel engine an eyelet terminal con-
nector is secured by a ground screw to the left front
fender inner shield in the engine compartment. The
motor receives battery current on a washer pump/
motor control circuit.
The washer pump/motor control circuit is energized
through a high side driver within the Front Control
Module (FCM) whenever the FCM receives an elec-
tronic message requesting washer system operation
from the instrument cluster over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus. The
instrument cluster monitors a resistor multiplexed
hard wired input from the momentary washer switch
contacts within the multi-function switch on the
steering column to determine when it should issue
the electronic message requesting washer system
operation.
Washer fluid is gravity-fed from the washer reser-
voir to the inlet side of the washer pump. When the
pump motor is energized, the motor spins the rotor
within the washer pump. The spinning pump rotor
pressurizes the washer fluid and forces it through
the pump outlet nipple, the washer plumbing, and
the washer nozzles onto the windshield glass.
The washer pump/motor unit may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and methods.

However, conventional diagnostic methods may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the instrument
cluster, the Front Control Module (FCM), or the elec-
tronic message inputs to or outputs from the instru-
ment cluster and the FCM that control the operation
of the washer pump/motor unit. The most reliable,
efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the washer
pump/motor unit, the instrument cluster, the FCM,
or the electronic message inputs and outputs related
to the washer pump/motor unit operation requires
the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appro-
priate diagnostic information.
