SWITCH-TOW/HAUL OVERDRIVE
DESCRIPTION
The tow/haul overdrive OFF (control) switch is located
in the shift lever arm. The switch is a momentary con-
tact device that signals the PCM to toggle current sta-
tus of the overdrive function.
OPERATION
At key-on, overdrive operation is allowed. Pressing the switch once causes the tow/haul overdrive OFF mode to be
entered and the Tow/Haul lamp to be illuminated. Pressing the switch a second time causes normal overdrive oper-
ationtoberestoredandthetow/haullamptobeturnedoff.Thetow/hauloverdrive OFF mode defaults to ON after
the ignition switch is cycled OFF and ON. The normal position for the control switch is the ON position. The switch
must be in this position to energize the solenoid and allow a 3-4 upshift. The control switch indicator light illuminates
only when the tow/haul overdrive switch is turned to the OFF position, or when illuminated by the transmission
control module.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - OVERDRIVE ELECTRICAL CONTROLS
The tow/haul overdrive off switch, valve body solenoid, case connectors and related wiring can all be tested with a
12 volt test lamp or a volt/ohmmeter. Check continuity of each component when diagnosis indicates this is neces-
sary.
Switch and solenoid continuity shouldbe checked whenever the transmission fails to shift into fourth gear range.
REMOVAL
1. Using a plastic trim tool, remove the tow/haul over-
drive off switch retainer (2) from the shift lever (1).

POSSIBLE CAUSE OF WIND NOISE
Moldings standing away from body surface can catch wind and whistle.
Gaps in sealed areas behind overhanging body flanges can cause wind-rushing sounds.
Misaligned movable components.
Missing or improperly installed plugs in pillars.
Weld burn through holes.
Improperly installed roof rack cross bars.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
BODY LUBRICATION
All mechanisms and linkages should be lubricated when necessary. This will maintain ease of operation and provide
protection against rust and excessive wear. The weatherstrip seals should be lubricated to prolong their life as well
as to improve door sealing.
All applicable exterior and interior vehicle operating mechanisms should be inspected and cleaned. Pivot/sliding con-
tact areas on the mechanisms should then be lubricated.
1. When necessary, lubricate the operating mechanisms with the specifiedlubricants.
2. Apply silicone lubricant to a clothand wipe it on door seals to avoid over-spray that can soil passenger’s cloth-
ing.
3. Before applying lubricant, the component should be wiped clean. After lubrication, any excess lubricant should be
removed.
4. The hood latch, latch release mechanism, latch striker, and safety latch should be lubricated periodically.
5. The door lock cylinders should be lubricated twice each year (preferably autumn and spring).
Spray a small amount of lock cylinder lubricant directly into the lock cylinder.
Apply a small amount to the key and insert it into the lock cylinder.
Rotate it to the locked position and then back to the unlocked position several times.
Remove the key. Wipe the lubricant from it with a clean cloth to avoid soiling of clothing.
HEAT STAKING
1. Remove trim panel.
2. Bend or move the trim panel components at the heat staked joints. Observethe heat staked locations and/or
component seams for looseness.
3. Heat stake the components.
a. If the heat staked or component seam location is loose, hold the two components tightly together and using
a soldering gun with a flat tip, melt the material securing the components together. Do not over heat the
affected area, damage to the exterior of the trim panel may occur.
b. Iftheheatstakedmaterialisbrokenormissing,useahotglueguntoapplynewmaterialtotheareatobe
repaired. The panels that are being heat staked must be held together whiletheapplyingtheglue.Oncethe
new material is in place, it may be necessary to use a soldering gun to melt the newly applied material. Do
not over heat the affected area, damage to the exterior of the trim panel mayoccur.
4. Allow the repaired area to cool and verify the repair.
5. Install trim panel.
BUZZ, SQUEAK & RATTLE
Buzz, Squeak & Rattles (BSR) may be caused by any one or more of the followingand may be corrected as indi-
cated:
Loose fasteners should be tightened to specifications.
Damaged or missing clips should be replaced.
Damaged trim panels should be replaced.
Incorrectly installed trim panels should be reinstalled properly.

The power sunroof system allows the sunroof to be opened, closed or placed in the vent position electrically by
actuating a switch in the overhead console. The sunroof system receives battery feed through a fuse in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC). The sunroof will operate normally with the keyin any position while the Accessory Delay
system is active.
The sunroof glass panel tilts upward at the rear for ventilation and slidesrearward under the roof when open. The
panel seals flush with the roof in the closed position to eliminate wind noise. The sunroof includes a manual-sliding
sunshade to cover the deep-tinted glass panel.
In addition to the standard power sunroof operation, this vehicle offers several additional features. There is an
express (one-touch) opening and closing feature as well as Excessive Force Limitation (EFL). The EFL function
detects obstacles trapped between the glass and the vehicle roof during a closing motion. Upon sensing an obstacle
the EFL function will reverse direction of the glass to allow removal of theobstacle.
The main components of thepower sunroof system are:
The motor/module assembly
The power sunroof glass and frame assembly
The power sunroof switch
The manual-sliding sunshade
OPERATION
This vehicle has a vent, tilt and slide power sunroof system with express (one-touch) open and closing feature. The
sunroof system receives constant battery feed through a fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). The sunroof
will operate normally with the key in any position while the Accessory Delay system is active. If the sunroof is mov-
ing when the key is turned to the START position (crank engine), all motionsstop until the key is released, then the
previously requested sunroof motion will resume. The sunroof will also complete a requested motion if the Acces-
sory Delay system goes inactivewhile the motion is in progress.
A combination push-button and rocker switch module mounted in the overhead console controls sunroof operation.
The sunroof switch is a rocker design with a push button in the center of the two halves of the rocker. Pressing the
rocker towards the front of the car commands the sunroof closed. Pressing the rocker towards the rear of the car
commands the sunroof open. Pressing the center push button commands the sunroof up into the vent position
(Rear of sunroof glass raises above the vehicle roof with glass still covering the sunroof opening). All switch com-
mands operate with the glass startingin any position. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER TOP/SWITCH - OPER-
ATION) for additional information.
An electronic control system, integralto the motor/module assembly, provides the express open and close functions.
Pressing the
openorcloseend of the rocker switch moves the sunroof glass panel to the full open or fullclosed
position, respectively. During express closing, anytime an obstacle is detected in the way of the glass, the motor will
stop and reverse travel to avoid pinching an occupant’s finger, ice in the track, etc. This function is called Excessive
Force Limitation (EFL). There are two methods of overriding the EFL function.
1. When three EFL events occur without the glass being allowed to fully close, the next close attempt will only
move while the close switch is continuously actuated. This allows the sunrooftobeforcedclosedifmultipleclose
attempts fail.
2. If the sunroof close switch is continuously actuated during an EFL event, through the reversal, and during a two
second wait time, then continuing to hold the close switch will cause the roof to move towards close with the EFL
protection disabled. This allows the sunroof to be forced closed if it is known that a reversal will occur.
While in EFL override, the closing motion will cease if the sunroof switch is released at any time.

EMISSIONS CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
STATE DISPLAY TEST MODE
The switch inputs to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) have two recognized states; HIGH and LOW. For this
reason, the PCM cannot recognize the difference between a selected switchposition versus an open circuit, a short
circuit, or a defective switch. If the State Display screen shows the changefromHIGHtoLOWorLOWtoHIGH,
assume the entire switch circuit to the PCM functions properly. Connect the DRB scan tool to the data link con-
nector and access the state display screen. Then access either State Display Inputs and Outputs or State Display
Sensors.
CIRCUIT ACTUATION TEST MODE
The Circuit Actuation Test Mode checks for proper operation of output circuits or devices the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) may not internally recognize. The PCM attempts to activate these outputs and allow an observer to
verify proper operation. Most of the tests provide an audible or visual indication of device operation (click of relay
contacts, fuel spray, etc.). Except for intermittent conditions, if a device functions properly during testing, assume the
device, its associated wiring, and driver circuit work correctly. Connect the DRB scan tool to the data link connector
and access the Actuators screen.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) indicates the PCM has recognized an abnormal condition in the system.
Remember that DTC’s are the results of a system or circuit failure, but do not directly identify the failed
component or components.
BULB CHECK
Each time the ignition key is turned to the ON position, the malfunction indicator (check engine) lamp on the instru-
ment panel should illuminate for approximately 2 seconds then go out. Thisis done for a bulb check.
OBTAINING DTC’S USING DRB SCAN TOOL
1. Obtain the applicable Powertrain Diagnostic Manual.
2. Obtain the DRB Scan Tool.
3. Connect the DRB Scan Tool to the data link (diagnostic) connector. This connector is located in the passenger
compartment at the lower edge of instrument panel, and near the steering column.
4. Turn the ignition switch on and access the “Read Fault” screen.
5. Record all the DTC’s and “freeze frame” information shown on the DRB scantool.
6. To erase DTC’s, use the “Erase Trouble Code” data screen on the DRB scan tool.Do not erase any DTC’s
until problems have been investigated and repairs have been performed.
TA S K M A N A G E R
The PCM is responsible for efficiently coordinating the operation of all the emissions-related components. The PCM
is also responsible for determining if the diagnostic systems are operating properly. The software designed to carry
out these responsibilities is called the ’Task Manager’.
MONITORED SYSTEMS
There are new electronic circuit monitors that check fuel, emission, engine and ignition performance. These moni-
tors use information from various sensor circuits to indicate the overalloperation of the fuel, engine, ignition and
emission systems and thus the emissions performance of the vehicle.
The fuel, engine, ignition and emission systems monitors do not indicate aspecific component problem. They do
indicate that there is an implied problem within one of the systems and thata specific problem must be diagnosed.
If any of these monitors detect a problem affecting vehicle emissions, theMalfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will be
illuminated. These monitors generate Diagnostic Trouble Codes that can be displayed with the MIL or a scan tool.

TA S K M A N A G E R
The Task Manager determines which tests happen when and which functions occur when. Many of the diagnostic
steps required by OBD II must be performed under specific operating conditions. The Task Manager software orga-
nizes and prioritizes the diagnostic procedures. The job of the Task Manager is to determine if conditions are appro-
priate for tests to be run, monitor theparameters for a trip for each test, and record the results of the test. Following
are the responsibilities of the Task Manager software:
Test Sequence
MIL Illumination
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
Trip Indicator
Freeze Frame Data Storage
Similar Conditions Window
Te s t S e q u e n c e
In many instances, emissions systems must fail diagnostic tests more thanonce before the PCM illuminates the
MIL. These tests are know as ’two trip monitors.’ Other tests that turn the MIL lamp on after a single failure are
known as ’one trip monitors.’ A trip is defined as ’start the vehicle and operate it to meet the criteria necessary to
run the given monitor.’
Many of the diagnostic tests must be performed under certain operating conditions. However, there are times when
tests cannot be run because another test is in progress (conflict), another test has failed (pending) or the Task
Manager has set a fault that may cause a failure of the test (suspend).
Pending
Under some situations the Task Manager will not run a monitor if the MIL is illuminated and a fault is stored
from another monitor. In these situations, the Task Manager postpones monitorspendingresolution of the
original fault. The Task Manager does not run the test until the problem is remedied.
For example, when the MIL is illuminated for an Oxygen Sensor fault, the Task Manager does not run the
Catalyst Monitor until the Oxygen Sensor fault is remedied. Since the Catalyst Monitor is based on signals
from the Oxygen Sensor, running the test would produce inaccurate results.
Conflict
There are situations when the Task Manager does not run a test if another monitor is in progress. In these
situations, the effects of another monitor running could result in an erroneous failure. If thisconflictis present,
themonitorisnotrununtiltheconflicting condition passes. Most likelythe monitor will run later after the con-
flicting monitor has passed.
For example, if the Fuel System Monitor is in progress, the Task Manager does not run the EGR Monitor.
Since both tests monitor changes in air/fuel ratio and adaptive fuel compensation, the monitors will conflict with
each other.
Suspend
Occasionally the Task Manager may not allow a two trip fault to mature. The Task Manager willsuspendthe
maturing of a fault if a condition exists that may induce an erroneous failure. This prevents illuminating the MIL
for the wrong fault and allows more precis diagnosis.
For example, if the PCM is storing a one trip fault for the Oxygen Sensor and the EGR monitor, the Task
Manager may still run the EGR Monitor but will suspend the results until theOxygen Sensor Monitor either
passes or fails. At that point the Task Manager can determine if the EGR system is actually failing or if an
Oxygen Sensor is failing.
MIL Illumination
The PCM Task Manager carries out the illumination of the MIL. The Task Manager triggers MIL illumination upon
test failure, depending on monitor failure criteria.
The Task Manager Screen shows both a Requested MIL state and an Actual MIL state. When the MIL is illuminated
upon completion of a test for a third trip, the Requested MIL state changes to OFF. However, the MIL remains
illuminated until the next key cycle. (On some vehicles, the MIL will actually turn OFF during the third key cycle)
During the key cycle for the third good trip, the Requested MIL state is OFF,while the Actual MIL state is ON. After
the next key cycle, the MIL is not illuminated and both MIL states read OFF.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
With OBD II, different DTC faults have different priorities according to regulations. As a result, the priorities deter-
mine MIL illumination and DTC erasure. DTCs are entered according to individual priority. DTCs with a higher pri-
ority overwrite lower priority DTCs.
Priorities
Priority 0 —Non-emissions related trouble codes
Priority 1 — One trip failure of a two trip fault for non-fuel system and non-misfire.
Priority 2 — One trip failure of a two trip fault for fuel system (rich/lean)or misfire.
Priority 3 — Two trip failure for a non-fuel system and non-misfire or matured one trip comprehensive com-
ponent fault.
Priority 4 — Two trip failure or matured fault for fuel system (rich/lean) and misfire or one trip catalyst dam-
aging misfire.
Non-emissions related failures have no priority. One trip failures of twotrip faults have low priority. Two trip failures
or matured faults have higher priority. One and two trip failures of fuel system and misfire monitor take precedence
over non-fuel system and non-misfire failures.
DTC Self Erasure
With one trip components or systems,the MIL is illuminated upon test failure and DTCs are stored.
Two trip monitors are components requiring failure in two consecutive trips for MIL illumination. Upon failure of the
first test, the Task Manager enters a maturing code. If the component failsthe test for a second time the code
matures and a DTC is set.
After three good trips the MIL is extinguished and the Task Manager automatically switches the trip counter to a
warm-up cycle counter. DTCs are automatically erased following 40 warm-up cycles if the component does not fail
again.
For misfire and fuel system monitors, the component must pass the test under a Similar Conditions Window in order
to record a good trip. A Similar Conditions Window is when engine RPM is within ±375 RPM and load is within
±10% of when the fault occurred.
NOTE: It is important to understand that a component does not have to fail under a similar window of oper-
ation to mature. It must pass the test under a Similar Conditions Window whenitfailedtorecordaGood
Trip for DTC erasure for misfire and fuel system monitors.
DTCs can be erased anytime with a DRB III. Erasing the DTC with the DRB III erases all OBD II information. The
DRB III automatically displays a warning that erasing the DTC will also erase all OBD II monitor data. This includes
all counter information for warm-up cycles, trips and Freeze Frame.
Trip Indicator
TheTri pis essential for running monitors and extinguishing the MIL. In OBD II terms,atripisasetofvehicle
operating conditions that must be met for a specific monitor to run. All trips begin with a key cycle.

The term Good Trip has different meanings depending on the circumstances:
If the MIL is OFF, a trip is defined as when the Oxygen Sensor Monitor and the Catalyst Monitor have been
completed in the same drive cycle.
