BACKUP LAMP SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission
have a normally open, spring-loaded plunger type
back-up lamp switch (Fig. 1). The backup lamp
switch is located in a threaded hole on the side of the
manual transmission housing. The backup lamp
switch has a threaded body and a hex formation near
the plunger end of the switch, and an integral con-
nector at the opposite end of the switch. When
installed, only the connector and the hex formation
are visible on the outside of the transmission hous-
ing. Vehicles with an optional electronic automatic
transmission have a Transmission Range Sensor
(TRS) that is used to perform several functions,
including that of the backup lamp switch. The TRS is
described in further detail elsewhere in this service
information. The backup lamp switch cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
entire switch unit must be replaced.

(ISO) micro relay (Fig. 7). Relays conforming to the
ISO specifications have common physical dimensions,
current capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal
functions. The relay is contained within a small, rect-
angular, molded plastic housing and is connected to
all of the required inputs and outputs by five integral
male spade-type terminals that extend from the bot-
tom of the relay base.
The front fog lamp relay cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The front fog 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 front fog 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 front fog lamp relay terminals are connected
to the vehicle electrical system through a connector
receptacle in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
The inputs and outputs of the front fog lamp relay
include:
²Common Feed Terminal- The common feed
terminal (30) receives battery voltage at all times
from a fuse in the PDC through a fused B(+) circuit.
²Coil Ground Terminal- The coil ground termi-
nal (85) is connected to a control output of the Front
Control Module (FCM) through a front fog lamp relay
control circuit. The FCM controls front fog lamp oper-
ation by controlling a ground path through this cir-
cuit.
²Coil Battery Terminal- The coil battery ter-
minal (86) receives battery voltage at all times from
a fuse in the PDC through a fused B(+) circuit.
²Normally Open Terminal- The normally open
terminal (87) is connected to the front fog lamps
through a front fog lamp relay output circuit and
provides battery voltage to the front fog lamps when-
ever the relay is energized.
²Normally Closed Terminal- The normally
closed terminal (87A) is not connected in this appli-
cation.The front fog lamp relay can be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and methods.

HAZARD SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The hazard switch is activated by a push button
located in the multifunction switch on the top of the
steering column between the steering wheel and
instrument cluster.
The hazard warning system allows the vehicle
operator to provide other vehicle operators in the
near proximity an optical indication that the vehicle
is disabled or an obstacle to traffic flow. The hazard
warning system has battery voltage at all times,
regardless of ignition position.
OPERATION
The instrument cluster monitors the multiplexed
multifunction switch operation. When the hazard
warning switch is activated, the instrument cluster
will send a J1850 bus message to the Front Control
Module (FCM), then activate the two turn signal indi-
cators and audible click in the instrument cluster.
The FCM will then activate the necessary relays in
the Power Distribution Center (PDC) to begin flash-
ing both the front and rear turn signal indicator
lamps.

HEADLAMP SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The multiplexed headlamp switch is located on the
instrument panel. The headlamp switch controls the
parking lamps, fog lamps and the headlamps. A sep-
arate switch in the module controls the interior
lamps and instrument cluster illumination. This
switch also contains a rheostat for controlling the
illumination level of the cluster lamps.
OPERATION
The multiplexed headlamp switch has an off, park-
ing lamp, fog lamp and a headlamp on position. High
beams are controlled by the multiplexed multifunc-
tion switch on the steering column. The fog lamps
are illuminated by pulling back on the headlamp
switch knob when in the parking lamp or headlamp
ON position.The headlamp switch cannot be
repaired. It must be replaced.
The Instrument Cluster monitors the headlamp
and multifunction switch operation. When the head-
lamp switch is rotated to the parking lamp or On
position the Instrument Cluster sends a J1850 mes-
sage to the Front Control Module, which is mated to
the power distribution center to become the Inte-
grated Control Module, to illuminate the appropriate
bulbs. When the multifunction switch is activated to
the optical horn or high beam position the Instru-
ment Cluster illuminates the high beam indicator
and sends a J1850 message to the Front Control
Module to illuminate the appropriate bulbs.

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
