The Midline controller is used on vehicles that
have Power Door Locks. If a vehicle is equipped with
the Vehicle Theft Security System, the Midline con-
troller becomes a Premium when the theft feature is
enabled.
CAUTION: Do not swap Body Control Modules
between vehicles or body controller's off the shelf.
The BCM has internal diagnostic capability that
assists in diagnosing the system error. When an
OPEN or a SHORT circuit exists, the diagnostic tool
can be used to read the BCM faults. The faults are
very descriptive in identifying the appropriate fea-
ture that has faulted.The only two faults that the BCM logs that con-
clude the replacement of a BCM are faults;
²# 01 - Internal BCM failure (replace BCM)
²# 1F - J1850 Internal Hardware Failure (replace
BCM)
Otherwise the appropriate diagnostic procedures
for each of the features should be taken when the
BCM logs a fault.

MEMORY SEAT/MIRROR
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the memory seat/mirror
option, utilize a memory module located under the
drivers front seat. This module is basically wired in-
line between the power seat switch and the power
seat track/adjuster motors, or in-line between the
power mirror switch and the power side view mir-
ror(s) motor(s). The MSMM contains a central pro-
cessing unit that communicates with other modules
on the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network.
The Memory Seat/Mirror Module (MSMM) receives
hard wired inputs from the driver power seat switch
and the potentiometers on each of the driver side
power seat track motors, or from the power mirror
switch and the potentiometers on the side view mir-
ror. The MSMM receives messages over the PCI data
bus from the Body Control Module (BCM) (memory
switch status), the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
(vehicle speed status). The MSMM will prevent the
seat memory recall function from being initiated if
the driver side seat belt is buckled, if the transmis-
sion gear selector lever is not in the Park or Neutral
positions, or if the vehicle is moving.
For diagnosis of the MSMM or the PCI data bus, a
DRB IIItscan tool and the proper Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual are recommended. The MSMM cannot
be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced. Refer toMemory Systemin the Power
Seat or Power Mirror section of this manual for more
information on the memory system option.
OPERATION
When memory system operation is requested
(depressing of the memory switch), a resistor multi-
plexed signal is sent from the memory switch to the
body control module (BCM). The body control module
will then send the appropriate signals out to the
memory/mirror seat module, the memory/mirror seat
module then applies the voltage supply to the power
seat track or side-view mirror if the proper require-
ments are met. The vehicle speed must equal zero
and the transmission must be in park or neutral in
order for the memory system to function.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - MEMORY
SEAT/MIRROR MODULE
Visually inspect the related wiring harness connec-
tors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded
terminals. If any of the above conditions are present,
repair as necessary. If not, use a DRB IIItscan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures Manual to test
the memory/mirror seat module. For complete circuit
diagrams, refer toWiring Diagrams.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the driver side front bucket seat
retaining nuts from under the vehicle (Refer to 23 -
BODY/SEATS/SEAT - REMOVAL).
(3) Lift the drivers seat up and out of the mount-
ing holes in the floor pan and lay the seat rearward
to access the module located under the seat. It is not
necessary to disconnect the seat electrical, just use
care not to damage the wiring by over-extending.
(4) Disconnect the memory/mirror seat module
electrical connectors. Depress the retaining tab and
pull straight apart.
(5) Remove the module retaining bolts and remove
the module from the bracket.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position and install the module retaining bolts.
(2) Connect the memory/mirror seat module elec-
trical connectors.
(3) Position the drivers seat in the mounting holes
in the floor pan.
(4) Install the driver side front bucket seat retain-
ing nuts from under the vehicle (Refer to 23 - BODY/
SEATS/SEAT - INSTALLATION).
(5) Connect the battery negative cable.
POWER LIFTGATE CONTROL
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power liftgate (PLG) uti-
lize a PLG control module. This module is located on
the vehicles left side D-pillar just below the motor
assembly (Fig. 8) and contains a microprocessor,
which is used to communicate to the vehicles body
control module. The PLG control module receives and
monitors logic inputs from all the PLG system
switches except for the outside handle switch. This
module also contains the software technology to
detect liftgate obstructions and stop and/or reverse
the door accordingly.

HEATED GLASS
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Grid lines can be damaged or scraped
off with sharp instruments. Care should be taken in
cleaning glass or removing foreign materials,
decals or stickers. Normal glass cleaning solvents
or hot water used with rags or toweling is recom-
mended.
The rear window defogger system consists of two
vertical bus bars linked by a series of grid lines fired
onto the inside surface of the rear window (Fig. 1).
The rear window defogger system is turned ON or
OFF by a control switch located on the A/C-heater
control at the center of the instrument panel and by
a rear window defogger relay timing circuit integral
to the integrated power module (IPM) (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/HEATED GLASS/REAR WINDOW
DEFOGGER SWITCH - DESCRIPTION).
Circuit protection is provided by a 40 amp fuse
located in the IPM.

RSHEATED SYSTEMS8G-1
Page 497 of 2585
OPERATION
When the rear window defogger button is
depressed to the On position, current is directed to
the rear defogger grid lines and the heated power
mirrors (if equipped). The heated grid lines heat the
glass to help clear the rear window and side mirror
surfaces of fog or frost.
The defogger system is controlled by a momentary
switch located in the A/C-heater control on the
instrument panel. A yellow indicator in the switch
will illuminate to indicate when the defogger system
is turned on. The integrated power module (IPM)
contains the defogger system control circuitry.
NOTE:
The rear window defogger turns off automat-
ically after approximately 10 minutes of initial opera-
tion. Each following activation cycle of the defogger
system will last approximately five minutes.
The defogger system will be automatically turned
off after a programmed time interval of about ten
minutes. After the initial time interval has expired, if
the defogger switch is turned on again during the
same ignition cycle, the defogger system will auto-
matically turn off after about five minutes.
The defogger system will automatically shut off if
the ignition switch is turned to the Off position, or it
can be turned off manually by depressing the defog-
ger switch a second time.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REAR WINDOW
DEFOGGER SYSTEM
The electrically heated rear window defogger oper-
ation can be checked on the vehicle in the following
manner:
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
(2) Make sure that the defogger switch is Off.
(3) Using a ammeter on the battery, turn the rear
defogger control switch to the On position, a distinct
increase in amperage draw should be noted.
(4) The rear window defogger operation can be
checked by feeling the glass. A distinct difference in
temperature between the grid lines and adjacent
clear glass should be detected in three to four min-
utes of operation.
(5) Using a DC voltmeter, contact the negative
lead to Point B, and the positive lead to Point A (Fig.
2). The voltmeter should read 10-14 volts.
NOTE: Illumination of the LED indicator means that
there is power available at the switch, but does not
necessarily verify system operation.
(6) If turning the defogger switch On produced no
distinct current draw on the ammeter, the problem
should be isolated in the following manner:²Confirm that the ignition switch is On.
²Make sure that the heated rear window feed
wire is connected to the terminal and that the
ground wire is in fact grounded.
²Make sure that fuse 13 (40 amp) in the inte-
grated power module (IPM) is OK.
(7) When the above steps have been completed and
the system is still inoperative, one or more of the fol-
lowing could be defective. It may be necessary to con-
nect a DRBIIItscan tool to perform further
diagnostics. Refer to Body Diagnostic Procedures.
²Rear window defogger switch in the A/C-heater
control.
²J1850 bus communication between the A/C-
heater control and the front control module (FCM).
²Rear window defogger relay in the IPM.
²Rear window defogger relay control circuity in
the IPM.
²Check for a loose wire connector or a wire
pushed out of a connector.
²Rear window grid lines (all grid lines would
have to be broken, or one of the feed wires not con-
nected for the system to be inoperative).
(8) If turning the rear window defogger switch On
produces severe voltmeter deflection, the circuit
should be closely checked for a shorting condition.
(9) If the system operation has been verified but
LED indicator does not illuminate, replace the A/C-
heater control.
(10) For detailed wiring information, refer to Wir-
ing Diagrams.

REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The rear window defogger relay (Fig. 3) is a Inter-
national Standards Organization (ISO)-type relay.
Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have
common physical dimensions, current capacities, ter-
minal patterns, and terminal functions. The rear
window defogger relay is a electromechanical device
that switches battery current through a fuse in the
integrated power module (IPM) to the rear window
defogger grid and switches battery current through a
positive thermal coefficient (PTC) in the IMP to the
outside mirror heating grids. The relay is energized
when the relay coil is provided a ground path by the
rear window defogger relay control in the front con-
trol module (FCM).
The rear window defogger relay is located in the
IPM in the engine compartment. See the fuse and
relay layout map on the inner surface of the IPM
cover for rear window defogger relay identification
and location.
The rear window defogger relay cannot be adjusted
or repaired and, if damaged or faulty, it must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a
resistor or diode, and three (two fixed and one mov-
able) electrical contacts. The movable (common feed)
relay contact is held against one of the fixed contacts
(normally closed) by spring pressure. When the elec-
tromagnetic coil is energized, it draws the movablecontact 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.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information for
diagnosis and testing of the ISO relay and for com-
plete rear window defogger system wiring diagrams.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the cover from the Integrated Power
Module (IPM) (Fig. 4).
(3) Refer to the fuse and relay layout map molded
into the inner surface of the IPM cover for rear win-
dow defogger relay identification and location.
(4) Remove the rear window defogger relay from
the IPM.
INSTALLATION
(1) Refer to the fuse and relay layout map molded
into the inner surface of the Integrated Power Mod-
ule (IPM) cover for rear window defogger relay iden-
tification and location.

REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The rear window defogger switch is integrated into
the A/C-heater control mounted in the center of the
instrument panel (Fig. 5). The rear window defogger
switch and the rear window defogger LED indicator
cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
A/C-heater control must be replaced.
OPERATION
An LED indicator will illuminate when the rear
window defogger switch is activated. The switch
energizes the A/C-heater control module which then
requests the front control module (FCM) to activate
the rear window defogger relay via the J1850 com-
munication bus. The rear window defogger relay con-
trols the current to flow to the grids of the rear
window defogger and the heated power side view
mirrors. The defogger relay will be on for approxi-
mately 10 minutes or until the control switch or igni-
tion is turned off.

HEATED MIRRORS
DESCRIPTION
The optional heated mirror system only operates in
concert with the rear window defogger system, and
will be automatically shut off after a programmed
time interval of about ten minutes. After the initial
time interval has expired, if the defogger switch is
turned on again during the same ignition cycle, the
heated mirror system will automatically shut off
after about five minutes.
The heated mirror system will automatically shut
off if the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
or it can be shut off manually by pressing the rear
window defogger switch a second time.
OPERATION
When the rear window defogger switch (Fig. 1) is
in the On position, an electric heater grid located
behind the glass of each of the outside rear view mir-
rors is energized. When energized, each of these
heater grids produce heat to help clear the outside
rear view mirrors of ice, snow, or fog.
The heated mirror system is controlled by a
momentary rear window defogger switch on the A/C-
heater control. An amber indicator lamp in the
switch will illuminate to indicate when the defogger
system is turned on.
If the outside mirror heating grids are both inoper-
ative, refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REARWINDOW DEFOGGER SYSTEM in his group. If
only one of the outside mirror heating grids is inop-
erative, Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER MIR-
RORS - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING.
The heating grid behind each outside mirror glass
cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
entire power mirror assembly must be replaced.

LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR
DESCRIPTION
LAMP SYSTEMS
Lighting circuits are protected by fuses. Lighting
circuits require an overload protected power and high
side drivers source, ON/OFF device, lamps and body
grounds to operate properly. Plastic lamps require a
wire in the harness to supply body ground to the
lamp socket. Replace sockets and bulbs that are cor-
roded.
Some of the interior and exterior lighting functions
are governed by the Body Control Module (BCM).
The headlamp, dome, and the door ajar switches pro-
vide signals to the BCM. The BCM in turn sends a
Programmable Communication Interface (PCI) bus
message to the Front Control Module (FCM) to
enable the necessary drivers to set the required illu-
mination configuration.
Wire connectors can make intermittent contact or
become corroded. Before coupling wire connectors,
inspect the terminals inside the connector. Male ter-
minals should not be bent or disengaged from the
insulator. Female terminals should not be sprung
open or disengaged from the insulator. Bent and
sprung terminals can be repaired using needle nose
pliers and pick tool. Corroded terminals appear
chalky or green. Corroded terminals should be
replaced to avoid recurrence of the problem symp-
toms.
Begin electrical system failure diagnosis by testing
related fuses in the fuse block and intelligent power
module. Verify that bulbs are in good condition and
test continuity of the circuit ground. Refer to the
appropriate wiring information.
AUTOMATIC HEADLAMP SYSTEM
The Automatic Headlamp system turns the instru-
mentation and exterior illumination lamps ON when
the ambient light levels are Night and the engine
RPM is 450 or above, and OFF when light levels are
Day.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
Operating the high-beam headlamps at reduced
power provides daytime running lamps, which are
required on all new Canadian vehicles. Daytime run-
ning lamps are functional when 450 rpm's are
reached.
HEADLAMPS ON WITH WINDSHIELD WIPERS
For vehicles equipped with the Automatic Head-
lamp System, the instrumentation and exterior illu-
mination lamps will be turned ON when the
headlamp switch is in the AUTO position, RPM >450 and the windshield wipers have been in the
intermittent, low or high mode of operation for more
than ten seconds. When the windshield wipers are
turned OFF the Body Control Module will determine
if the instrumentation and exterior illumination
lamps should remain ON base upon the current
ambient light level.
HEADLAMP SYSTEM
The configuration of the headlamp system of head-
lamps, park lamps and fog lamps is determined by
the BCM. The BCM determines the lighting configu-
ration as a result of the inputs from the ignition
switch, headlamp switch and multi-function switch. A
PCI bus is transmitted from the BCM to the FCM to
enable the necessary drivers to set the illumination
configuration. Four wires are connected between the
headlamp switch and the BCM. The first wire con-
tains information regarding the position of the head-
lamp switch (Off, Automatic Headlamps, Automatic
Headlamp switch fog, Park with Fog, Head, or Head
with Fog Lamps). The second wire contains informa-
tion regarding the position of the dimmer switch
(Dome Lamp, Daytime Brightness, Dimming Level or
Off). The third wire is a dedicated signal return
(ground) wire. The fourth wire provides power to the
front fog lamp indicator.
HEADLAMP TIME DELAY SYSTEM
The headlamp time delay system is controlled by
the Body Control Module (BCM) via a PCI bus mes-
sage transmitted by the BCM to the FCM to turn off
the headlamps.
OPERATION
AUTOMATIC HEADLAMP SYSTEM
Automatic headlamps are controlled by the Body
Control Module (BCM). With the headlamp switch in
the AUTO position, the BCM will control the head-
lamp, parking, side marker, tail and instrumentation
lamps based on ambient light levels. Ambient light
levels are monitored by the BCM using the Day/
Night signal and Electrochromatic Mirror (ECM)
present from the Compass Mini Trip (CMTC) located
on the front windshield in front of the rear view mir-
ror ECM. Ambient light readings are averaged to
limit cycling the lamps ON and OFF when passing
through areas with varying light levels. The auto-
matic headlamps will only function when the engine
is running with RPM > 450. When the headlamp
switch is in the AUTO position (Automatic mode), the
Headlamp Time Delay system will function when the
ignition switch is placed in any position other than
run/start.
