CIGAR LIGHTER OUTLET
DESCRIPTION
On models equipped a cigar lighter outlet is
installed to the left of the center stack area in the
lower instrument panel. The cigar lighter outlet is
secured by a snap fit within the bezel.
The cigar lighter outlet, plastic cap and the knob
and heating element unit are available for service
replacement. These components cannot be repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, they must be replaced.
OPERATION
The cigar lighter consists of two major components:
a knob and heating element unit, and the cigar
lighter base or outlet shell. The receptacle shell is
connected to ground, and an insulated contact in the
bottom of the shell is connected to battery current.
The cigar lighter receives battery voltage from a fuse
in the junction block when the ignition switch is in
the Accessory or Run positions.
The cigar lighter knob and heating element are
encased within a spring-loaded housing, which also
features a sliding protective heat shield. When the
knob and heating element are inserted in the outlet
shell, the heating element resistor coil is grounded
through its housing to the outlet shell. If the cigar
lighter knob is pushed inward, the heat shield slides
up toward the knob exposing the heating element,
and the heating element extends from the housing
toward the insulated contact in the bottom of the
outlet shell.
Two small spring-clip retainers are located on
either side of the insulated contact inside the bottom
of the outlet shell. These clips engage and hold the
heating element against the insulated contact longenough for the resistor coil to heat up. When the
heating element is engaged with the contact, battery
current can flow through the resistor coil to ground,
causing the resistor coil to heat.
When the resistor coil becomes sufficiently heated,
excess heat radiates from the heating element caus-
ing the spring-clips to expand. Once the spring-clips
expand far enough to release the heating element,
the spring-loaded housing forces the knob and heat-
ing element to pop back outward to their relaxed
position. When the cigar lighter knob and element
are pulled out of the outlet shell, the protective heat
shield slides downward on the housing so that the
heating element is recessed and shielded around its
circumference for safety.

POWER DISTRIBUTION (Continued)

tery and provides the primary means of circuit pro-
tection and power distribution for all vehicle
electrical systems. The front control module controls
power to some of these vehicle systems electrical and
electromechanical loads based on inputs received
from hard wired switch inputs and data received on
the PCI bus circuit (J1850).
For information on theIntegrated Power Mod-
ule Refer to the Power Distribution Sectionof
the service manual.
OPERATION
As messages are sent over the PCI bus circuit, the
front control module reads these messages and con-
trols power to some of the vehicles electrical systems
by completing the circuit to ground (low side driver)
or completing the circuit to 12 volt power (high side
driver). The following functions areControlledby
the Front Control Module:

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FRONT CONTROL
MODULE
The front control module is a printed circuit board
based module with a on-board micro-processor. The
front control module interfaces with other electronic
modules in the vehicle via the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus (J1850). In
order to obtain conclusive testing the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network
and all of the electronic modules that provide inputs
to, or receive outputs from the front control module
must be checked. All PCI (J1850) communication
faults must be resolved prior to further diagnosing
any front control module related issues.
The front control module was designed to be diag-
nosed with an appropriate diagnostic scan tool, such
as the DRB IIIt. The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the front control module
requires the use of a DRB IIItscan tool and the
proper Body Diagnostic Procedures manual.
Before any testing of the front control module is
attempted, the battery should be fully charged and
all wire harness and ground connections inspected
around the affected areas on the vehicle.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the positive and negative battery
cables from the battery.
(2) Partially remove the integrated power module
from the engine compartment (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/POWER DISTRIBUTION/INTEGRATED
POWER MODULE - REMOVAL).
(3)

IOD FUSE
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) fuse that is disconnected within the Inte-
grated Power Module when the vehicle is shipped
from the factory. Dealer personnel are to reconnect
the IOD fuse in the Integrated Power Module as part
of the preparation procedures performed just prior to
new vehicle delivery.
A laser printed fuse layout map is integral to the
Integrated Power Module cover to ensure proper fuse
identification. The IOD fuse is a 20 ampere mini
blade-type fuse, located in fuse cavity # 51 (Fig. 6).
The fuse is secured within a black molded plastic
fuse holder and puller unit that serves both as a tool
for disconnecting and reconnecting the fuse in its
Integrated Power Module cavity, and as a fuse holder
that conveniently stores the fuse in the same Inte-
grated Power Module cavity after it has been discon-
nected.

²Underhood Lamp
OPERATION
The term ignition-off draw identifies a normal con-
dition where power is being drained from the battery
with the ignition switch in the Off position. The IOD
fuse feeds the memory and sleep mode functions for
some of the electronic modules in the vehicle as well
as various other accessories that require battery cur-
rent when the ignition switch is in the Off position.
The only reason the IOD fuse is disconnected is to
reduce the normal IOD of the vehicle electrical sys-
tem during new vehicle transportation and pre-deliv-
ery storage to reduce battery depletion, while still
allowing vehicle operation so that the vehicle can be
loaded, unloaded and moved as needed by both vehi-
cle transportation company and dealer personnel.
The IOD fuse is disconnected from Integrated
Power Module fuse cavity # 51 when the vehicle is
shipped from the assembly plant. Dealer personnel
must reconnect the IOD fuse when the vehicle is
being prepared for delivery in order to restore full
electrical system operation. Once the vehicle is pre-
pared for delivery, the IOD function of this fuse
becomes transparent and the fuse that has been
assigned the IOD designation becomes only another
Fused B(+) circuit fuse.
The IOD fuse can be used by the vehicle owner as
a convenient means of reducing battery depletion
when a vehicle is to be stored for periods not to
exceed about thirty days. However, it must be
remembered that disconnecting the IOD fuse will not
eliminate IOD, but only reduce this normal condition.
If a vehicle will be stored for more than about thirty
days, the battery negative cable should be discon-
nected to eliminate normal IOD; and, the battery
should be tested and recharged at regular intervals
during the vehicle storage period to prevent the bat-
tery from becoming discharged or damaged.
REMOVAL
The Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse is disconnected
from Integrated Power Module fuse cavity # 51 when
the vehicle is shipped from the assembly plant.
Dealer personnel must reconnect the IOD fuse when
the vehicle is being prepared for delivery in order to
restore full electrical system operation.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
(2) Remove the Integrated Power Module cover.
(3) Grasp the outer tabs of the IOD fuse holder
unit in fuse cavity # 51 between the thumb and fore-
finger and pull the unit firmly upward.
(4) Install the Integrated Power Module cover.

POWER OUTLET
DESCRIPTION
Two power outlets are utilized on this model. One
in the instrument panel center lower bezel and the
other in the center console. The power outlet bases
are secured by a snap fit within the instrument
panel or trim panel. A plastic protective cap snaps
into the power outlet base when the power outlet is
not being used, and hangs from the power outlet base
mount by an integral bail strap while the power out-
let is in use.
The power outlet receptacle unit and the accessory
power outlet protective cap are available for service.
The power outlet receptacle cannot be repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The power outlet base or receptacle shell is con-
nected to ground, and an insulated contact in the
bottom of the shell is connected to battery current.
The power outlet receives battery voltage from a fuse
in the integrated power module at all times.
While the power outlet is very similar to a cigar
lighter base unit, it does not include the two small
spring-clip retainers inside the bottom of the recepta-
cle shell that are used to secure the cigar lighter
heating element to the insulated contact.

RELAY
DESCRIPTION
A relay (Fig. 8) is an electromechanical device that
switches fused battery current to a electrical compo-
nent when the ignition switch is turned to the Acces-
sory or Run positions, or when controlled by a
electronic module. The relays are located in the inte-
grated power module.
The relay is a International Standards Organiza-
tion (ISO) relay. Relays conforming to the ISO speci-
fications have common physical dimensions, current
capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal functions.
A relay cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a
resistor and three (two fixed and one movable) elec-
trical contacts. The movable (common feed) relay con-
tact is held against one of the fixed contacts
(normally closed) by spring pressure. When the elec-
tromagnetic coil is energized, it draws the movable
contact away from the normally closed fixed contact,
and holds it against the other (normally open) fixed
contact.
When the electromagnetic coil is de-energized,
spring pressure returns the movable contact to the
normally closed position. The resistor is connected in
parallel with the electromagnetic coil in the relay,
and helps to dissipate voltage spikes that are pro-
duced when the coil is de-energized.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - RELAY
The relays are located in the integrated power
module. For complete circuit diagrams, refer toWir-
ing Diagrams.
(1) Remove the relay from its mounting location.
(2) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and
no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (elec-
tromagnet) should be 60.7 - 80.3 ohms. If OK, go to
Step 4. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(4) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, perform the Relay Circuit Test that
follows. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.

DIAGNOSIS & TESTING - RELAY CIRCUIT TEST
(1) The relay common feed terminal cavity (30) of
the integrated power module is connected to battery
voltage and should be hot at all times. Check for bat-
tery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity in the
integrated power module receptacle for the relay. If
OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the fused B(+) cir-
cuit to the integrated power module fuse as required.
(2) The relay normally closed terminal (87A) is
connected to terminal 30 in the de-energized position,
but is not used for this application. Go to Step 3.
(3) The relay normally open terminal (87) is con-
nected to the common feed terminal (30) in the ener-
gized position. This terminal supplies battery voltage
to the fused B(+) fuse in the integrated power module
that feeds the accessory when the relay is energized
by the ignition switch. There should be continuity
between the integrated power module cavity for relay
terminal 87 and the fused B(+) fuse in the integrated
power module at all times. If OK, go to Step 4. If not
OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the inte-
grated power module fuse as required.
(4) The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. It receives battery
feed to energize the relay when the ignition switch is
in the Accessory or Run positions. Turn the ignition
switch to the On position. Check for battery voltage
at the fused ignition switch output (acc/run) circuit
cavity for relay terminal 85 in the integrated power
module receptacle for the relay. If OK, go to Step 5. If
not OK, repair the open fused ignition switch output
(acc/run) circuit to the ignition switch as required.
(5) The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. The integrated power
module cavity for this terminal should have continu-
ity to ground at all times. If not OK, repair the open
ground circuit to ground as required.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
cable.
(2) Remove the relay by grasping it firmly and
pulling it straight out from its receptacle. A slight
back and fourth rocking motion may help the
removal process.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the relay to the proper receptacle.
(2) Align the relay terminals with the terminal
cavities in the receptacle.
(3) Push firmly and evenly on the top of the relay
until the terminals are fully seated in the terminal
cavities in the receptacle.
(4) Connect the negative battery cable.
MICRO RELAY
DESCRIPTION
A micro-relay is a conventional International Stan-
dards Organization (ISO) micro relay (Fig. 9). Relays
conforming to the ISO specifications have common
physical dimensions, current capacities, terminal pat-
terns, and terminal functions. The relay is contained
within a small, rectangular, 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 bottom of the relay base.
Relays cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty
or damaged, the unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
A micro-relay is an electromechanical switch that
uses a low current input from one source to control a
high current output to another device. 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 electro-
magnetic 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.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - MICRO-RELAY
(1) Remove the relay from its mounting location.
(2) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and

FUEL INJECTOR
DESCRIPTION
An individual fuel injector (Fig. 17) is used for each
individual cylinder.
OPERATION
OPERATION - FUEL INJECTOR
The top (fuel entry) end of the injector (Fig. 17) is
attached into an opening on the fuel rail.
The fuel injectors are electrical solenoids. The
injector contains a pintle that closes off an orifice at
the nozzle end. When electric current is supplied to
the injector, the armature and needle move a short
distance against a spring, allowing fuel to flow out
the orifice. Because the fuel is under high pressure, a
fine spray is developed in the shape of a pencil
stream. The spraying action atomizes the fuel, add-
ing it to the air entering the combustion chamber.
The nozzle (outlet) ends of the injectors are posi-
tioned into openings in the intake manifold just above
the intake valve ports of the cylinder head. The engine
wiring harness connector for each fuel injector is
equipped with an attached numerical tag (INJ 1, INJ
2 etc.). This is used to identify each fuel injector.
The injectors are energized individually in a sequen-
tial order by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The PCM will adjust injector pulse width by switching
the ground path to each individual injector on and off.
Injector pulse width is the period of time that the
injector is energized. The PCM will adjust injector
pulse width based on various inputs it receives.
Battery voltage is supplied to the injectors through
the ASD relay.
The PCM determines injector pulse width based on
various inputs.
OPERATION - PCM OUTPUT
The nozzle ends of the injectors are positioned into
openings in the intake manifold just above the intake
valve ports of the cylinder head. The engine wiring
harness connector for each fuel injector is equipped
with an attached numerical tag (INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.).
This is used to identify each fuel injector with its
respective cylinder number.
The injectors are energized individually in a sequen-
tial order by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The PCM will adjust injector pulse width by switching
the ground path to each individual injector on and off.
Injector pulse width is the period of time that the
injector is energized. The PCM will adjust injector
pulse width based on various inputs it receives.
Battery voltage (12 volts +) is supplied to the injec-
tors through the ASD relay. The ASD relay will shut-
down the 12 volt power source to the fuel injectors if
the PCM senses the ignition is on, but the engine is
not running. This occurs after the engine has not
been running for approximately 1.8 seconds.
The PCM determines injector on-time (pulse width)
based on various inputs.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove fuel rail. Refer to Fuel Injector Rail

cants to any part of the throttle body.
(1) Clean and check condition of throttle body-to-
intake manifold o-ring.
(2) Clean mating surfaces of throttle body and
intake manifold.(3) Install throttle body to intake manifold by posi-
tioning throttle body to manifold alignment pins.
(4) Install 4 mounting bolts. Refer to Torque Spec-
ifications.
(5) Install electrical connector.
(6) Install air plenum.
(7)If the throttle body has been changed, the
following procedure must be performed:
(a) Disconnect negative battery cable from bat-
tery. Leave cable disconnected for approximately 90
seconds.
(b) Reconnect cable to battery.
(c) Turn ignition switch ON, but do not crank
engine.
(d) Leave ignition switch ON for a minimum of
10 seconds. This will allow PCM to learn throttle
body electrical parameters.
