PDC LOWER COVER INSTALLATION
(1) Align the PDC housing lower cover on the bot-
tom of the PDC.
(2) Evenly press the lower cover into place until
latches are fully engaged.
(3) Where the right headlamp and dash harness
enters the PDC, tape the harness securely to the
trough formation on the PDC lower cover.
(4) Install the PDC in its mounting location on the
battery support.
(5) Install the battery wire harness over the two
PDC B+ terminal studs. Torque the nuts to 11.3 N´m
(100 in. lbs.).
(6) Install the battery. Refer to Battery System for
the procedure.
(7) Install the PDC cover.
INSTALLATION
The Power Distribution Center (PDC) main hous-
ing unit, the PDC fuse wedges and the PDC bus bars
cannot be repaired and are only serviced as a unit
with the right headlamp and dash wire harness. If
the PDC main housing unit, the fuse wedges or the
bus bars are faulty or damaged, the entire PDC and
right headlamp and dash wire harness unit must be
replaced.
(1) Position the PDC and the right headlamp and
dash wire harness unit in the engine compartment.
(2) Engage the PDC housing mounts with the
stanchions of the battery support and push the unit
downward until the mount latches fully engage the
mounting tabs on the stanchions.
(3) Install the two-holed eyelet of the battery wire
harness PDC take outs onto the two PDC B(+) termi-
nal studs.
(4) Install and tighten the nuts that secure the
eyelet of the battery wire harness PDC take outs to
the B(+) terminal studs. Tighten the nuts to 11.3
N´m (100 in. lbs.).
(5) Engage each of the retainers that secure the
right headlamp and dash wire harness to the vehicle
body and chassis components. Refer toConnector
Locationsin Wiring Diagrams for the location of
more information on the right headlamp and dash
wire harness retainer locations.
(6) Install all of the fasteners that secure each of
the right headlamp and dash wire harness ground
eyelets to the vehicle body and chassis components.
Refer toConnector Locationsin Wiring Diagrams
for the location of more information on the ground
eyelet locations.
(7) Reconnect each of the right headlamp and dash
wire harness connectors. Refer toConnector Loca-
tionsin Wiring Diagrams for the location of more
information on the right headlamp and dash wire
harness connector locations. For connectors securedwith screws, tighten the screws to 4.3 N´m (38 in.
lbs.).
(8) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
POWER OUTLET
DESCRIPTION - FRONT POWER OUTLET
An accessory power outlet is standard equipment
on this model. The power outlet is installed in the
instrument panel center lower bezel, which is located
near the bottom of the instrument panel center stack
area, below the heater and air conditioner controls.
The power outlet base is secured by a snap fit within
the center lower bezel. A hinged door with an over-
center spring flips closed to conceal and protect the
power outlet base when the power outlet is not being
used, and flips open below the center lower bezel
while the power outlet is in use.
The power outlet receptacle unit and the power
outlet door are each available for service replace-
ment.
OPERATION - FRONT POWER OUTLET
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 junction block 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.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER OUTLET

gar Lighter/Power Outletin Wiring Diagrams.

DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE
PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCI-
DENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
(1) Check the fused B(+) fuse in the junction block.
If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the shorted cir-
cuit or component as required and replace the faulty
fuse.
(2) Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) fuse
in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK,
repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the Power Dis-
tribution Center (PDC) fuse as required.
(3) Open the power outlet door. Check for continu-
ity between the inside circumference of the power

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTINGÐCYLINDER
COMPRESSION PRESSURE
The results of a cylinder compression pressure test
can be utilized to diagnose several engine malfunc-
tions.
Ensure the battery is completely charged and the
engine starter motor is in good operating condition.
Otherwise, the indicated compression pressures may
not be valid for diagnosis purposes.
(1) Clean the spark plug recesses with compressed
air.
(2) Remove the spark plugs (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/IGNITION CONTROL/SPARK PLUG -
REMOVAL).
(3) Secure the throttle in the wide-open position.
(4) Disconnect the ignition coil.
(5) Insert a compression pressure gauge and rotate
the engine with the engine starter motor for three
revolutions.
(6) Record the compression pressure on the third
revolution. Continue the test for the remaining cylin-
ders.
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS) for the
correct engine compression pressures.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CYLINDER
COMBUSTION PRESSURE LEAKAGE
The combustion pressure leakage test provides an
accurate means for determining engine condition.
Combustion pressure leakage testing will detect:
²Exhaust and intake valve leaks (improper seat-
ing)
²Leaks between adjacent cylinders or into water
jacket²Any causes for combustion/compression pressure
loss
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE RADIATOR CAP
WITH THE SYSTEM HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE.
SERIOUS BURNS FROM HOT COOLANT CAN
OCCUR.
Check the coolant level and fill as required. DO
NOT install the radiator cap.
Start and operate the engine until it attains nor-
mal operating temperature, then turn OFF the
engine.
Remove the spark plugs.
Remove the oil filler cap.
Remove the air cleaner.
Calibrate the tester according to the manufactur-
er's instructions. The shop air source for testing
should maintain 483 kPa (70 psi) minimum, 1,379
kPa (200 psi) maximum and 552 kPa (80 psi) recom-
mended.
Perform the test procedure on each cylinder accord-
ing to the tester manufacturer's instructions. While
testing, listen for pressurized air escaping through
the throttle body, tailpipe or oil filler cap opening.
Check for bubbles in the radiator coolant.
All gauge pressure indications should be equal,
with no more than 25% leakage.
FOR EXAMPLE:At 552 kPa (80 psi) input pres-
sure, a minimum of 414 kPa (60 psi) should be main-
tained in the cylinder CYLINDER COMBUSTION
