junction block in the passenger compartment. This
relay can be energized by the BCM to flash the head-
lamp low beams as an optical alert for the RKE panic
function. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHT-
ING - EXTERIOR/HEADLAMP - DESCRIPTION).
DESCRIPTION - LIFTGATE FLIP-UP GLASS
POWER RELEASE SYSTEM
A power operated liftgate flip-up glass release sys-
tem is standard factory installed equipment on this
model. The liftgate flip-up glass power release system
allows the flip-up glass latch to be released electri-
cally by depressing a switch located on the bottom of
the liftgate license plate lamp housing unit, above
the license plate on the outside of the liftgate.
The liftgate flip-up glass release system operates
on non-switched battery current supplied through a
fuse in the junction block so that the system remains
functional, regardless of the ignition switch position.
However, a limit switch that is integral to the liftgate
latch actuator unit opens to prevent the flip-up glass
latch from being actuated when the liftgate latch is
locked.
The liftgate flip-up glass power release system
includes the following components:
²Liftgate Flip-Up Glass Limit Switch- The
liftgate flip-up glass limit switch is integral to the
liftgate latch unit. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DECKLID/
HATCH/LIFTGATE/TAILGATE/LATCH - REMOVAL)
and (Refer to 23 - BODY/DECKLID/HATCH/LIFT-
GATE/TAILGATE/LATCH - INSTALLATION).
²Liftgate Flip-Up Glass Release Motor- The
liftgate flip-up glass release motor is integral to the
liftgate flip-up glass latch unit. (Refer to 23 - BODY/
DECKLID/HATCH/LIFTGATE/TAILGATE/FLIP-UP
GLASS LATCH - REMOVAL) and (Refer to 23 -
BODY/DECKLID/HATCH/LIFTGATE/TAILGATE/
FLIP-UP GLASS LATCH - INSTALLATION).
²Liftgate Flip-Up Glass Release Switch- The
liftgate flip-up glass release switch is integral to the
liftgate license plate lamp housing. (Refer to 23 -
BODY/DECKLID/HATCH/LIFTGATE/TAILGATE/
FLIP-UP GLASS SWITCH - REMOVAL) and (Referto 23 - BODY/DECKLID/HATCH/LIFTGATE/TAIL-
GATE/FLIP-UP GLASS SWITCH - INSTALLATION).
Hard wired circuitry connects the liftgate flip-up
glass power release system components to the electri-
cal system of the vehicle. These hard wired circuits
are integral to several wire harnesses, which are
routed throughout the vehicle and retained by many
different methods. These circuits may be connected to
each other, to the vehicle electrical system and to the
liftgate flip-up glass power release system compo-
nents through the use of a combination of soldered
splices, splice block connectors, and many different
types of wire harness terminal connectors and insu-
lators. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
The wiring information includes wiring diagrams,
proper wire and connector repair procedures, further
details on wire harness routing and retention, as well
as pin-out and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.OPERATION
OPERATION - POWER LOCK SYSTEM
The Passenger Door Module (PDM) contains the
power door lock control logic and a power lock switch.
The Driver Door Module (DDM) contains a power
lock switch and controls the output to the driver side
front door power lock motor, while the PDM controls
the output to the power lock motors for the remain-
ing doors and the liftgate.
When the power lock switch on the DDM is used to
lock or unlock the doors, the DDM sends a control
output to the driver side front door power lock motor
and sends lock or unlock request messages to the
PDM over the Programmable Communications Inter-
face (PCI) data bus. The PDM responds to these mes-
sages by sending control outputs to the power lock
motors of the remaining doors and the liftgate. When
the power lock switch on the PDM is used to lock or
unlock the doors, the PDM sends control outputs to
the power lock motors in the passenger side front
door, both rear doors and the liftgate, then sends lock
or unlock request messages to the DDM over the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus. The DDM responds to these messages by send-
ing control outputs to the power lock motor of the
driver side front door.
In order to support the auto door locks and unlock
on exit features, if enabled, the power lock system
logic in the PDM needs to know the door ajar switch
status, vehicle speed, and transmission gear selector
lever position. The passenger side front door ajar
switch is the only hard wired input to the PDM. The
PDM obtains the remaining information from mes-
sages it receives from other electronic modules over
the PCI data bus network.

²Washer Reservoir- The rear washer system
shares a single reservoir with the front washer sys-
tem, but has its own dedicated washer pump/motor
and plumbing. The washer reservoir is concealed
between the left inner fender shield and the left
outer fender panel, behind the inner fender liner and
ahead of the left front wheel. The washer reservoir
filler neck is the only visible portion of the reservoir,
and it is accessed from the left front corner of the
engine compartment.
Features of the rear wiper and washer system
include the following:
²Continuous Wipe Mode- When the right
multi-function switch control sleeve is moved to the
On position, the rear wiper will be operated at a
fixed speed, continual wipe cycle until the switch
sleeve is moved to the Delay or Off positions, until
the ignition switch is turned to the Off position, or
until the liftgate flip-up glass is ajar.
²Intermittent Wipe Mode- When the right
multi-function switch control sleeve is moved to the
Delay position, the rear wiper will be operated in a
fixed interval, intermittent wipe cycle until the
switch sleeve is moved to the On or Off positions,
until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
until the liftgate flip-up glass is ajar, or until the
right multi-function switch control stalk is pushed
forward to activate the rear washer system. The
intermittent wipe mode delay time has a fixed delay
interval of about five to eight seconds between
sweeps.
²Washer Mode- When the right multi-function
switch control stalk is pushed forward to activate the
rear washer system, washer fluid will be dispensed
from the washer reservoir onto the liftgate glass
through the rear washer nozzle and the rear wiper
will operate in a fixed cycle (not intermittent) for as
long as the rear washer pump/motor unit remains
energized. When the control stalk is released from
the momentary Wash position, the wipe-after-wash
feature will continue to operate the rear wiper at a
fixed cycle for about three additional wiper sweeps
before returning to the previously selected mode.
Hard wired circuitry connects the rear wiper and
washer system components to the electrical system of
the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to
several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout
the vehicle and retained by many different methods.
These circuits may be connected to each other, to the
vehicle electrical system and to the rear wiper and
washer system components through the use of a com-
bination of soldered splices, splice block connectors,
and many different types of wire harness terminal
connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information. The wiring information includes
wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repairprocedures, further details on wire harness routing
and retention, as well as pin-out and location views
for the various wire harness connectors, splices and
grounds.
OPERATION
The rear wiper and washer system is intended to
provide the vehicle operator with a convenient, safe,
and reliable means of maintaining visibility through
the liftgate glass. The various components of this sys-
tem are designed to convert electrical energy pro-
duced by the vehicle electrical system into the
mechanical action of the wiper blade to wipe the out-
side surface of the glass, as well as into the hydraulic
action of the washer system to apply washer fluid
stored in an on-board reservoir to the area of the
glass to be wiped. When combined, these components
provide the means to effectively maintain clear visi-
bility for the vehicle operator by removing excess
accumulations of rain, snow, bugs, mud, or other
minor debris from the outside liftgate glass surface
that might be encountered while driving the vehicle
under numerous types of inclement operating condi-
tions. The vehicle operator initiates all rear wiper
and washer system functions with the right multi-
function switch located on the right side of the steer-
ing column, just below the steering wheel. Moving
the switch control sleeve to a detent position selects
the rear wiper system operating mode. Moving the
switch control stalk forward to a momentary position
activates the rear washer pump/motor, which dis-
penses washer fluid onto the liftgate glass through
the rear washer nozzle and operates the rear wiper
system in the fixed cycle mode for as long as the
washer switch is closed plus about three wiper
sweeps.
When the ignition switch is in the Accessory or On
positions, battery current from a fuse in the Junction
Block (JB) is provided to the right multi-function
switch through a fused ignition switch output (run-
acc) circuit. A separate fuse in the JB provides bat-
tery current to the electronic control circuitry of the
rear wiper module through a fused B(+) circuit.
When the right multi-function switch control sleeve
On position is selected, the On position circuitry
within the switch directs a battery current rear
wiper motor control signal input to the rear wiper
module electronic circuitry, which causes the rear
wiper motor to run at a fixed continuous wipe cycle.
When the right multi-function switch control sleeve
Delay position is selected, the Delay position cir-
cuitry within the switch directs a battery current
rear washer switch output signal input to the rear
wiper module electronic circuitry, which causes the
rear wiper motor to run at a fixed intermittent wipe
cycle. When the right multi-function switch control

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.

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.

(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.
