RADIO
DESCRIPTION
Available factory-installed radio receivers for this
model include an AM/FM/cassette with CD changer
control feature (RBB sales code), an AM/FM/CD/2-
band graphic equalizer with CD changer control fea-
ture (RBK sales code), or an AM/FM/CD/cassette/2-
band graphic equalizer (RBP sales code). All factory-
installed radio receivers can communicate on theProgrammable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus network through a separate wire harness connec-
tor. All factory-installed receivers are stereo Electron-
ically Tuned Radios (ETR) and include an electronic
digital clock function.
These radio receivers can only be serviced by an
authorized radio repair station. See the latest War-
ranty Policies and Procedures manual for a current
listing of authorized radio repair stations.
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) fuse that is removed when the vehicle is
shipped from the factory. This fuse feeds various
accessories that require battery current when the
ignition switch is in the Off position, including the
clock. The IOD fuse is removed to prevent battery
discharge during vehicle storage.
When removing or installing the IOD fuse, it is
important that the ignition switch be in the Off posi-
tion. Failure to place the ignition switch in the Off
position can cause the radio display to become scram-
bled when the IOD fuse is removed and replaced.
Removing and replacing the IOD fuse again, with the
ignition switch in the Off position, will correct the
scrambled display condition.
The IOD fuse should be checked if the radio or
clock displays are inoperative. The IOD fuse is
located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
Refer to the fuse layout label on the underside of the
PDC cover for IOD fuse identification and location.
OPERATION
The radio receiver operates on ignition switched
battery current that is available only when the igni-
tion switch is in the On or Accessory positions. The
electronic digital clock function of the radio operates
on fused battery current supplied through the IOD
fuse, regardless of the ignition switch position.
For more information on the features, setting pro-
cedures, and control functions for each of the avail-
able factory-installed radio receivers, refer to the
owner's manual. For complete circuit diagrams, refer
to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring
information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire
and connector repair procedures, details of wire har-
ness routing and retention, connector pin-out infor-
mation and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - RADIO
Any diagnosis of the Audio system should
begin with the use of the DRB IIItdiagnostic
tool. For information on the use of the DRB
IIIt, refer to the appropriate Diagnostic Service
Manual.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional remote
radio switches located on the steering wheel and the

BCM programming then performs those tasks and
provides features through both PCI data bus commu-
nication with other electronic modules and hard
wired outputs to a number of relays. These relays
provide the BCM with the ability to control numer-
ous high current accessory systems in the vehicle.
The BCM circuitry operates on battery current
received through fuses in the Junction Block (JB) on a
non-switched fused B(+) circuit, a fused ignition switch
output (start-run) circuit, and a fused ignition switch
output (run-accessory) circuit. This arrangement allows
the BCM to provide some features regardless of the
ignition switch position. The BCM circuitry is grounded
through the chassis beneath the center console.
The BCM monitors its own internal circuitry as
well as many of its input and output circuits, and
will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in elec-
tronic memory for any failure it detects. These DTCs
can be retrieved and diagnosed using a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

or supported by the door modules are programmable
using either the Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC) user interface, or the DRBIIItscan tool. If
a door module is damaged or faulty, the entire door
module unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The microprocessor-based DDM and PDM hard-
ware and software monitors integral and hard wired
external switch inputs as well as those resources it
shares with other electronic modules in the vehicle
through its communication over the PCI data bus
network. The internal programming and all of these
inputs allow the DDM or PDM microprocessor to
determine the tasks it needs to perform and their
priorities, as well as both the standard and optional
features that it should provide.
The DDM and PDM are powered by a fused bat-
tery circuit so that they can operate regardless of the
ignition switch position. The DDM and PDM cir-
cuitry is grounded to the chassis beneath the front
seat.
The DDM and PDM can be diagnosed using a
DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnos-
tic information.

BATTERY
DESCRIPTION
A large capacity, low-maintenance storage battery
(Fig. 4) is standard factory-installed equipment on
this model. Male post type terminals made of a soft
lead material protrude from the top of the molded
plastic battery case to provide the means for connect-
ing the battery to the vehicle electrical system. The
battery positive terminal post is visibly larger in
diameter than the negative terminal post, for easy
identification. The lettersPOSandNEGare also
molded into the top of the battery case adjacent to
their respective positive and negative terminal posts
for additional identification confirmation. Refer to
Battery Cablesin the index of this service manual
for the location of more information on the battery
cables that connect the battery to the vehicle electri-
cal system.
This battery is designed to provide a safe, efficient
and reliable means of storing electrical energy in a
chemical form. This means of energy storage allows
the battery to produce the electrical energy required
to operate the engine starting system, as well as to
operate many of the other vehicle accessory systems
for limited durations while the engine and/or the
charging system are not operating. The battery is
made up of six individual cells that are connected in
series. Each cell contains positively charged plate
groups that are connected with lead straps to thepositive terminal post, and negatively charged plate
groups that are connected with lead straps to the
negative terminal post. Each plate consists of a stiff
mesh framework or grid coated with lead dioxide
(positive plate) or sponge lead (negative plate). Insu-
lators or plate separators made of a non-conductive
material are inserted between the positive and nega-
tive plates to prevent them from contacting or short-
ing against one another. These dissimilar metal
plates are submerged in a sulfuric acid and water
solution called an electrolyte.
Some factory-installed batteries have a built-in test
indicator (hydrometer). The color visible in the sight
glass of the indicator will reveal the battery condi-
tion. For more information on the use of the built-in
test indicator, refer toStandard Procedures The
factory-installed low-maintenance battery has
removable battery cell caps.Distilled water can
be added to this battery. The battery is not sealed
and has vent holes in the cell caps. The chemical
composition of the metal coated plates within the
low-maintenance battery reduces battery gassing and
water loss, at normal charge and discharge rates.
Therefore, the battery should not require additional
water in normal service. If the electrolyte level in
this battery does become low, distilled water must be
added. However, rapid loss of electrolyte can be
caused by an overcharging condition. Be certain to

including the ignition.The preferred test position
is at the battery terminal. If the battery is not
accessible, you may test using both the positive and
negative jumper posts. Select TESTING AT JUMPER
POST when connecting to that location.
(3) Connect the tester (Fig. 6) to the battery or
jumper posts, the red clamp to positive (+) and the
black clamp to negative (±).
NOTE: Multiple batteries connected in parallel must
have the ground cable disconnected to perform a
battery test. Failure to disconnect may result in
false battery test readings.

(CCA) battery rating. Or select the appropriate bat-
tery rating for your area (see menu). The tester will
then run its self programmed test of the battery and
display the results. Refer to the test result table
noted below.
CAUTION: If REPLACE BATTERY is the result of the
test, this may mean a poor connection between the
vehicle's cables and battery exists. After discon-
necting the vehicle's battery cables from the bat-
tery, retest the battery using the OUT-OF-VEHICLE
test before replacing.(6) While viewing the battery test result, press the
CODE button and the tester will prompt you for the
last 4 digits of the VIN. Use the UP/DOWN arrow
buttons to scroll to the correct character; then press
ENTER to select and move to the next digit. Then

STANDARD PROCEDURE - BUILT-IN
INDICATOR TEST
An indicator (hydrometer) built into the top of the
battery case provides visual information for battery
testing (Fig. 7). Like a hydrometer, the built-in indi-
cator measures the specific gravity of the battery
electrolyte. The specific gravity of the electrolyte
reveals the battery state-of-charge; however, it will
not reveal the cranking capacity of the battery. A load
test must be performed to determine the battery
cranking capacity. Refer to Standard Procedures for
the proper battery load test procedures.

VOLTAGE REGULATOR
DESCRIPTION
The Electronic Voltage Regulator (EVR) is not a
separate component. It is actually a voltage regulat-
ing circuit located within the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM). The EVR is not serviced separately. If
replacement is necessary, the PCM must be replaced.
OPERATION
The amount of DC current produced by the gener-
ator is controlled by EVR circuitry contained within
the PCM. This circuitry is connected in series with
the generators second rotor field terminal and its
ground.
Voltage is regulated by cycling the ground path to
control the strength of the rotor magnetic field. The
EVR circuitry monitors system line voltage (B+) and
battery temperature (refer to Battery Temperature
Sensor for more information). It then determines a
target charging voltage. If sensed battery voltage is
0.5 volts or lower than the target voltage, the PCM
grounds the field winding until sensed battery volt-
age is 0.5 volts above target voltage. A circuit in the
PCM cycles the ground side of the generator field up
to 100 times per second (100Hz), but has the capabil-
ity to ground the field control wire 100% of the time
(full field) to achieve the target voltage. If the charg-
ing rate cannot be monitored (limp-in), a duty cycle
of 25% is used by the PCM in order to have some
generator output. Also refer to Charging System
Operation for additional information.

STARTING
DESCRIPTION
An electrically operated engine starting system is
standard factory-installed equipment on this model.
The starting system is designed to provide the vehi-
cle operator with a convenient, efficient and reliable
means of cranking and starting the internal combus-
tion engine used to power the vehicle and all of its
accessory systems from within the safe and secure
confines of the passenger compartment. See the own-
er's manual in the vehicle glove box for more infor-
mation and instructions on the recommended use
and operation of the factory-installed starting sys-
tem.
The starting system consists of the following com-
ponents:
²Battery
²Starter relay
²Starter motor (including an integral starter sole-
noid)
²Ignition switch
²Park/neutral position switch
²Wire harnesses and connections (including the
battery cables).
This group provides complete service information
for the starter motor and the starter relay. Complete
service information for the other starting system
components can be located as follows:
²Refer toBatteryin the proper section of Group
8A - Battery for complete service information for the
battery.
²Refer toIgnition Switch and Key Lock Cyl-
inderin the proper section of Group 8D - Ignition
System for complete service information for the igni-
tion switch.²Refer toPark/Neutral Position Switchin the
proper section of Group 21 - Transmission for com-
plete service information for the park/neutral posi-
tion switch.
²Refer to the proper section ofGroup 8W - Wir-
ing Diagramsfor complete service information and
circuit diagrams for the starting system wiring com-
ponents.
Group 8A covers the Battery, Group 8B covers the
Starting Systems, and Group 8C covers the Charging
System. We have separated these systems to make it
easier to locate the information you are seeking
within this Service Manual. However, when attempt-
ing to diagnose any of these systems, it is important
that you keep their interdependency in mind.
The battery, starting, and charging systems in the
vehicle operate with one another, and must be tested
as a complete system. In order for the vehicle to start
and charge properly, all of the components that are
used in these systems must perform within specifica-
tions.
The diagnostic procedures used in each of these
groups include the most basic conventional diagnostic
methods, to the more sophisticated On-Board Diag-
nostics (OBD) built into the Powertrain Control Mod-
ule (PCM). Use of an induction-type milliampere
ammeter, volt/ohmmeter, battery charger, carbon pile
rheostat (load tester), and 12-volt test lamp may be
required.
All OBD-sensed systems are monitored by the
PCM. Each monitored circuit is assigned a Diagnos-
tic Trouble Code (DTC). The PCM will store a DTC in
electronic memory for any failure it detects. Refer to
On-Board Diagnostic Test For Charging System
in the Diagnosis and Testing section of Group 8C -
Charging System for more information.

tem functions, as well as separate hard wired sense
inputs to the BCM for the high speed continuous
wipe and front washer system functions.
The front wiper and washer system will only oper-
ate when the ignition switch is in the Accessory or
On positions. Battery current is directed from a B(+)
fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) to the
wiper and washer system circuit breaker in the Junc-
tion Block (JB) through a fused ignition switch out-
put (run-acc) circuit. The automatic resetting circuit
breaker then provides battery current through a
fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit to the
wiper on/off relay, and the park switch in the front
wiper motor. A separate fuse in the JB provides bat-
tery current through another fused ignition switch
output (run-acc) circuit to the right multi-function
switch. The right multi-function switch circuitry uses
this battery feed to directly control the operation of
the front washer pump/motor unit. The BCM uses
low side drivers to control front wiper system opera-
tion by energizing or de-energizing the wiper high/
low and wiper on/off relays.
The hard wired circuits and components of the
front wiper and washer system may be diagnosed
and tested using conventional diagnostic tools and
procedures. However, conventional diagnostic meth-
ods may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
Body Control Module (BCM), or the inputs to or out-
puts from the BCM that control the front wiper and
washer system operating modes. The most reliable,
efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the BCM,
or the BCM inputs and outputs related to the various
front wiper and washer system operating modes
requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.
Following are paragraphs that briefly describe the
operation of each of the front wiper and washer sys-
tem operating modes.
CONTINUOUS WIPE MODE
When the Low position of the control knob on the
control stalk of the right (wiper) multi-function
switch is selected, the Body Control Module (BCM)
energizes the wiper on/off relay. This directs battery
current through the normally open contacts of the
energized wiper on/off relay and the normally closed
contacts of the de-energized wiper high/low relay to
the low speed brush of the front wiper motor, causing
the front wipers to cycle at low speed. When the
High position of the control knob is selected, the
BCM energizes both the wiper on/off relay and the
wiper high/low relay. This directs battery current
through the normally open contacts of the energized
wiper on/off relay and the normally open contacts of
the energized wiper high/low relay to the high speedbrush of the front wiper motor, causing the front wip-
ers to cycle at high speed.
When the Off position of the control knob is
selected, the BCM de-energizes both the wiper on/off
and wiper high/low relays, then one of two events
will occur. The event that will occur depends upon
the position of the wiper blades on the windshield at
the moment that the control knob Off position is
selected. If the wiper blades are in the down position
on the windshield when the Off position is selected,
the park switch that is integral to the front wiper
motor is closed to ground and the wiper motor ceases
to operate. If the wiper blades are not in the down
position on the windshield at the moment the Off
position is selected, the park switch is closed to bat-
tery current from the fused ignition switch output
(run-acc) circuit of the front wiper motor. The park
switch directs this battery current to the low speed
brush of the wiper motor through the wiper park
switch sense circuit and the normally closed contacts
of the wiper on/off and wiper high/low relays. This
causes the wiper motor to continue running at low
speed until the wiper blades are in the down position
on the windshield and the park switch is again
closed to ground.
INTERMITTENT WIPE MODE
On models not equipped with the optional auto-
matic wiper system, when the control knob on the
control stalk of the right (wiper) multi-function
switch is moved to one of the five Delay interval posi-
tions, the BCM electronic intermittent wipe logic cir-
cuit responds by calculating the correct length of
time between wiper sweeps based upon the selected
delay interval input. The BCM monitors the chang-
ing state of the wiper motor park switch through a
hard wired front wiper park switch sense circuit
input. This input allows the BCM to determine the
proper intervals at which to energize and de-energize
the wiper on/off relay to operate the front wiper
motor intermittently for one low speed cycle at a
time. The BCM logic is also programmed to provide
an immediate wipe cycle and begin a new delay
interval timing cycle each time a shorter delay inter-
val is selected, and to add the remaining delay tim-
ing interval to the new delay interval timing before
the next wipe cycle occurs each time a longer delay
interval is selected.
The intermittent wipe mode delay times are speed
sensitive. The BCM monitors vehicle speed messages
received from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
over the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network in order to provide the speed
sensitive delay intervals. Above about sixteen kilome-
ters-per-hour (ten miles-per-hour) the delay is driver
adjustable from about one-half second to about eigh-

the more frequently the RSM will send wipe com-
mands to the BCM to operate the front wiper system.
The RSM operates on battery current received
through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB) on a fused
B(+) circuit. This circuit is switched by the power
accessory (sunroof) delay relay in the JB so that the
RSM will operate whenever the relay is energized by
the BCM. The RSM receives ground at all times
through a take out of the left body wire harness with
an eyelet terminal that is secured by a ground screw
to the front seat crossmember on the floor panel
under the left front seat. It is important to note that
the default condition for the wiper system is auto-
matic wipers Off; therefore, if no message is received
from the RSM by the BCM for more than about five
seconds, the automatic wipers will be disabled and
the BCM will default the front wiper system opera-
tion to the low speed continuous wipe mode.
The RSM ground and battery current inputs can be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and
methods. However, conventional diagnostic methods
may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the RSM
internal circuitry, the BCM, the PCI data bus net-
work, or the electronic messages received and trans-
mitted by the RSM over the PCI data bus. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the RSM requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
