(4) Check to be certain that nobody is in the vehi-
cle, then reconnect the battery negative cable.
(5) Using the DRBIIIt, read and record the active
(current) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) data.
(6) Next, use the DRBIIItto read and record any
stored (historical) DTC data.
(7) If any DTC is found in Step 5 or Step 6, refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.
(8) Use the DRBIIItto erase the stored DTC data.
If any problems remain, the stored DTC data will not
erase. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic informa-
tion to diagnose any stored DTC that will not erase.
If the stored DTC information is successfully erased,
go to Step 9.
(9) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position for
about fifteen seconds, and then back to the On posi-
tion. Observe the airbag indicator in the instrument
cluster. It should light for six to eight seconds, and
then go out. This indicates that the supplemental
restraint system is functioning normally and that the
repairs are complete. If the airbag indicator fails to
light, or lights and stays on, there is still an active
supplemental restraint system fault or malfunction.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information to
diagnose the problem.
AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Airbag Control Module (ACM) is also some-
times referred to as the Occupant Restraint Control-
ler (ORC) (Fig. 6). The ACM is concealed underneath
the center floor console, where it is secured by four
screws to a stamped steel mounting bracket welded
onto the top of the floor panel transmission tunnel
just forward of the park brake mechanism in the pas-
senger compartment of the vehicle.
Concealed within a hollow in the center of the die
cast aluminum ACM housing is the electronic cir-
cuitry of the ACM which includes a microprocessor,
an electronic impact sensor, an electronic safing sen-
sor, and an energy storage capacitor. A stamped
metal cover plate is secured to the bottom of the
ACM housing with four screws to enclose and protect
the internal electronic circuitry and components. A
printed label on the top of the ACM housing provides
a visual verification of the proper orientation of the
unit, and should always be pointed toward the front
of the vehicle.
Two molded plastic electrical connector receptacles
exit the forward side of the ACM housing. These two
receptacles connect the ACM to the vehicle electrical
system through a dedicated take out and connector of
the instrument panel wire harness, and a dedicated
take out and connector of the airbag overlay wire
harness. For vehicles equipped with the optional side
curtain airbags, both ACM connector receptacles are
black in color and the ACM contains a second bi-di-
rectional safing sensor for the side airbags. For vehi-
cles not equipped with the optional side curtain
airbags, the ACM connector receptacles are both
gray.
The impact sensor and safing sensor internal to
the ACM are calibrated for the specific vehicle, and
are only serviced as a unit with the ACM. The ACM
cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or
faulty, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Airbag Control Module
(ACM) contains the supplemental restraint system
logic circuits and controls all of the supplemental
restraint system components. The ACM uses
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communicate
with other electronic modules in the vehicle as well
as with the DRBIIItscan tool using the Programma-
ble Communications Interface (PCI) data bus net-
work. This method of communication is used for
control of the airbag indicator in the ElectroMechani-
cal Instrument Cluster (EMIC) and for supplemental
restraint system diagnosis and testing through the
16-way data link connector located on the driver side
lower edge of the instrument panel. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/COMMUNICATION - OPERATION).

SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
There are two separate switch pods that operate
the speed control system. The steering-wheel-
mounted switches use multiplexed circuits to provide
inputs to the PCM for ON, OFF, RESUME, ACCEL-
ERATE, SET, DECEL and CANCEL modes. Refer to
the owner's manual for more information on speed
control switch functions and setting procedures.
The individual switches cannot be repaired. If one
switch fails, the entire switch module must be
replaced.
OPERATION
When speed control is selected by depressing the
ON, OFF switch, the PCM allows a set speed to be
stored in its RAM for speed control. To store a set
speed, depress the SET switch while the vehicle is
moving at a speed between approximately 35 and 85
mph. In order for the speed control to engage, the
brakes cannot be applied, nor can the gear selector
be indicating the transmission is in Park or Neutral.
The speed control can be disengaged manually by:
²Stepping on the brake pedal
²Depressing the OFF switch
²Depressing the CANCEL switch.
The speed control can be disengaged also by any of
the following conditions:
²An indication of Park or Neutral
²The VSS signal increases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the co-efficient of friction
between the road surface and tires is extremely low)
²Depressing the clutch pedal.
²Excessive engine rpm (indicates that the trans-
mission may be in a low gear)
²The VSS signal decreases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the vehicle may have
decelerated at an extremely high rate)
²If the actual speed is not within 20 mph of the
set speed
The previous disengagement conditions are pro-
grammed for added safety.
Once the speed control has been disengaged,
depressing the ACCEL switch restores the vehicle to
the target speed that was stored in the PCM's RAM.
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch will erase the set
speed stored in the PCM's RAM.
If, while the speed control is engaged, the driver
wishes to increase vehicle speed, the PCM is pro-
grammed for an acceleration feature. With the
ACCEL switch held closed, the vehicle accelerates
slowly to the desired speed. The new target speed is
stored in the PCM's RAM when the ACCEL switch isreleased. The PCM also has a9tap-up9feature in
which vehicle speed increases at a rate of approxi-
mately 2 mph for each momentary switch activation
of the ACCEL switch.
The PCM also provides a means to decelerate with-
out disengaging speed control. To decelerate from an
existing recorded target speed, depress and hold the
COAST switch until the desired speed is reached.
Then release the switch. The ON, OFF switch oper-
ates two components: the PCM's ON, OFF input, and
the battery voltage to the brake switch, which powers
the speed control servo.
Multiplexing
The PCM sends out 5 volts through a fixed resistor
and monitors the voltage change between the fixed
resistor and the switches. If none of the switches are
depressed, the PCM will measure 5 volts at the sen-
sor point (open circuit). If a switch with no resistor is
closed, the PCM will measure 0 volts (grounded cir-
cuit). Now, if a resistor is added to a switch, then the
PCM will measure some voltage proportional to the
size of the resistor. By adding a different resistor to
each switch, the PCM will see a different voltage
depending on which switch is pushed.
Another resistor has been added to the 'at rest cir-
cuit' causing the PCM to never see 5 volts. This was
done for diagnostic purposes. If the switch circuit
should open (bad connection), then the PCM will see
the 5 volts and know the circuit is bad. The PCM will
then set an open circuit fault.

VACUUM RESERVOIR
DESCRIPTION
The vacuum reservoir is a plastic storage tank con-
nected to an engine vacuum source by vacuum lines.
OPERATION
The vacuum reservoir is used to supply the vac-
uum needed to maintain proper speed control opera-
tion when engine vacuum drops, such as in climbing
a grade while driving. A one-way check valve is used
in the vacuum line between the reservoir and the
vacuum source. This check valve is used to trap
engine vacuum in the reservoir. On certain vehicle
applications, this reservoir is shared with the heat-
ing/air-conditioning system. The vacuum reservoir
cannot be repaired and must be replaced if faulty.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - VACUUM
RESERVOIR
(1) Disconnect vacuum hose at speed control servo
and install a vacuum gauge into the disconnected
hose.
(2) Start engine and observe gauge at idle. Vac-
uum gauge should read at least ten inches of mer-
cury.
(3) If vacuum is less than ten inches of mercury,
determine source of leak. Check vacuum line to
engine for leaks. Also check actual engine intake
manifold vacuum. If manifold vacuum does not meet
this requirement, check for poor engine performance
and repair as necessary.
(4) If vacuum line to engine is not leaking, check
for leak at vacuum reservoir. To locate and gain
access to reservoir, refer to Vacuum Reservoir Remov-
al/Installation in this group. Disconnect vacuum line
at reservoir and connect a hand-operated vacuum
pump to reservoir fitting. Apply vacuum. Reservoir
vacuum should not bleed off. If vacuum is being lost,
replace reservoir.
(5) Verify operation of one-way check valve and
check it for leaks.
(a) Locate one-way check valve. The valve is
located in vacuum line between vacuum reservoir
and engine vacuum source. Disconnect vacuum
hoses (lines) at each end of valve.
(b) Connect a hand-operated vacuum pump to
reservoir end of check valve. Apply vacuum. Vac-
uum should not bleed off. If vacuum is being lost,
replace one-way check valve.
(c) Connect a hand-operated vacuum pump to
vacuum source end of check valve. Apply vacuum.
Vacuum should flow through valve. If vacuum is
not flowing, replace one-way check valve. Seal the
fitting at opposite end of valve with a finger and
apply vacuum. If vacuum will not hold, diaphragm
within check valve has ruptured. Replace valve.
REMOVAL
The vacuum reservoir is located in the right/front
corner of the vehicle behind the front bumper fascia
(Fig. 8).
(1) Remove front bumper and grill assembly.
(2) Remove 1 support bolt near front of reservoir
(Fig. 8).
(3) Remove 2 reservoir mounting bolts.
(4) Remove reservoir from vehicle to gain access to
vacuum hose (Fig. 9). Disconnect vacuum hose from
reservoir fitting at rear of reservoir.

OPERATION
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) indica-
tor gives a visible indication of the VTSS arming sta-
tus. One side of Light-Emittiong Diode (LED) in the
VTSS indicator is connected to unswitched battery
current through a fused B(+) circuit and a fuse in the
Junction Block (JB). The other side of the LED is
hard wired to the Body Control Module (BCM), which
controls the operation of the VTSS indicator by pull-
ing this side of the LED circuit to ground. When the
VTSS arming is in progress, the BCM will flash the
LED rapidly on and off for about fifteen seconds.
When the VTSS has been successfully armed, the
BCM will flash the LED on and off continually at a
much slower rate until the VTSS has been disarmed.
The VTSS indicator can be diagnosed using conven-
tional diagnostic tools and methods.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - VTSS INDICATOR
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative
Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) indicator con-
dition. If the problem being diagnosed is related to
indicator accuracy, be certain to confirm that the
problem is with the indicator and not with an inop-
erative VTSS. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE
THEFT SECURITY - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING -
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM). If no VTSS
problem is found, the following procedure will help to
locate a short or open in the VTSS indicator control
circuit. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Turn the control knob on the control stalk of the
right (wiper) multi-function switch to the Low or
High wiper position. Check whether the front wiper
system is operating. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK,
test and repair the front wiper system before con-
tinuing with these tests. Refer to FRONT WIPER

(2) Turn the control knob on the control stalk of
the right (wiper) multi-function switch to the Off
position. Pull the control stalk of the right (wiper)
multi-function switch toward the steering wheel to
close the front washer switch. The front washer
pump should operate and the front wipers should
operate for about three sweep cycles after the switch
is released before they park. If the front wipers are
OK, but the front washers are not, go to Step 3. If
the front washers are OK, but the front wipers are
not, go to Step 5.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the left headlamp and dash wire harness
connector for the front washer pump/motor from the
pump/motor connector receptacle. Check for continu-
ity between the ground circuit cavity of the left head-
lamp and dash wire harness connector for the front
washer pump/motor and a good ground. There should
be continuity. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, repair
the open ground circuit to ground (G106) as required.
(4) Reconnect the battery negative cable. Turn the
ignition switch to the On position. While pulling the
control stalk of the right (wiper) multi-function
switch toward the steering wheel to close the front

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.

put to the Body Control Module (BCM) on a
windshield wiper switch mux circuit, and the BCM
responds by energizing the wiper on/off relay in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC) to operate the front
wiper motor momentarily at low speed to provide the
front wiper mist mode.
²Intermittent Front Wipe Mode- On models
not equipped with the optional automatic wiper sys-
tem, the control knob on the end of the right (wiper)
multi-function switch control stalk is rotated to one
of five minor intermediate detents to select the
desired intermittent front wipe delay interval. The
control knob is rotated rearward (counterclockwise)
to increase the delay, or forward (clockwise) to
decrease the delay. The right (wiper) multi-function
switch provides a resistor multiplexed output to the
Body Control Module (BCM) on a windshield wiper
switch mux circuit. The BCM responds by monitoring
electronic vehicle speed messages received from the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Program-
mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus,
then energizing the wiper on/off relay in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) to operate the front wiper
motor at the proper delay intervals.
²Intermittent Rear Wipe Mode- The control
ring on the right (wiper) multi-function switch con-
trol stalk is rotated to the center detent to select the
intermittent rear wiper mode. The right (wiper)
multi-function switch provides a battery current out-
put to the rear wiper motor on a rear wiper motor
delay control circuit to signal the rear wiper module
to operate the rear wiper in the intermittent wipe
mode.
²Rear Washer Mode- The right (wiper) multi-
function switch control stalk is pushed forward
toward the instrument panel to a momentary posi-
tions to activate the rear washer pump/motor in the
rear washer mode. The rear washer pump will con-
tinue to operate in the rear washer mode until the

stalk is moved to the rear Wash position, the Wash
position circuitry within the switch directs battery
current to the rear washer pump/motor unit, and to
both the rear wiper motor control and rear washer
switch output signal inputs of the rear wiper module
electronic circuitry, which causes the wiper motor to
run at a fixed cycle for as long as the Wash mode is
selected plus about three additional fixed wipe cycles.
The rear wiper module electronic circuitry controls
the switching of battery current to the rear wiper
motor brush, which controls wiper motor operation.
The intermittent wipe and wipe-after-wash features
of the rear wiper and washer system are both pro-
vided by the rear wiper module electronic circuitry.
The rear wiper module electronic circuitry also mon-
itors the liftgate flip-up glass ajar switch and will
park the rear wiper blade off of the glass any time it
senses that the liftgate flip-up glass is ajar, the igni-
tion switch is turned to the Off position, or the right
multi-function switch control sleeve is moved to the
Off position. This feature ensures that the rear wiper
blade will not interfere with or be damaged by the
operation of the liftgate flip-up glass. However, if the
ignition switch is turned to the Off position or the
liftgate flip-up glass is opened while the rear wiper is
operating, the right multi-function switch control
sleeve must be cycled to the Off position and back to
the On or Delay position after the ignition switch is
turned back On or the liftgate flip-up glass is closed
before the rear wiper will operate again.
Refer to the owner's manual in the vehicle glove
box for more information on the features and opera-
tion of the rear wiper and washer system.

OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, go to Step 9.
(2) Check the fused B(+) fuse (Fuse8-15ampere)
in the Junction Block (JB). If OK, go to Step 3. If not
OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as
required and replace the faulty fuse.
(3) Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) fuse
(Fuse8-15ampere) in the JB. If OK, go to Step 4. If
not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit between
the JB and the Power Distribution Center (PDC) as
required.
(4) Check the fused ignition switch output (run-
acc) fuse (Fuse 29 - 10 ampere) in the JB. If OK, go
to Step 5. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or
component as required and replace the faulty fuse.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run-acc) fuse (Fuse 29 - 10 ampere) in the
JB. If OK, turn the ignition switch to the Off position
and go to Step 6. If not OK, repair the open fused
ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit between the
JB and the ignition switch as required.
(6) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector for the right multi-function switch from the
switch connector receptacle. Reconnect the battery
negative cable. Turn the ignition switch to the On
position. Check for battery voltage at the fused igni-
tion switch output (run-acc) circuit cavity of the
instrument panel wire harness connector for the

TESTING). If the right multi-function switch tests
OK, reconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector for the right multi-function switch to the
switch connector receptacle and go to Step 8. If the
right multi-function switch does not test OK, replace
the faulty switch.
(8) Remove the liftgate inner trim panel. Discon-
nect the liftgate wire harness connector for the rear
wiper module from the module connector receptacle.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit cav-
ity of the liftgate wire harness connector for the rear
wiper module and a good ground. There should be
continuity. If OK, go to Step 9. If not OK, repair the
open ground circuit to ground (G301) as required.
(9) Check for continuity between the liftgate
flip-up glass ajar switch sense circuit cavity of the
liftgate wire harness connector for the rear wiper
module and a good ground. There should be continu-
ity with the liftgate flip-up glass open, and no conti-
nuity with the liftgate flip-up glass closed. If OK, go
to Step 10. If not OK, repair the liftgate flip-up glass
ajar circuit as required.
(10) Reconnect the battery negative cable. Check
for battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of
the liftgate wire harness connector for the rear wiper
module. If OK, go to Step 11. If not OK, repair the
open fused B(+) circuit between the rear wiper mod-
ule and the JB as required.
(11) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Turn the right multi-function switch control sleeve to
the Delay position. Check for battery voltage at the
rear washer switch output circuit cavity of the lift-
gate wire harness connector for the rear wiper mod-
ule. If OK, go to Step 12. If not OK, repair the open
rear washer switch output circuit between the rear
wiper module and the right multi-function switch as
required.(12) Turn the right multi-function switch control
sleeve to the On position. Check for battery voltage
at the rear wiper motor control circuit cavity of the
liftgate wire harness connector for the rear wiper
module. If OK, replace the faulty rear wiper module.
If not OK, repair the open rear wiper motor control
circuit between the rear wiper module and the right
multi-function switch as required.
WASHER SYSTEM
The diagnosis found here addresses an electrically
inoperative rear washer system. If the rear washer
pump/motor operates, but no washer fluid is emitted
from the rear washer nozzle, be certain to check the
fluid level in the reservoir. Also inspect the washer
system components as required. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/REAR WIPERS/WASHERS - INSPECTION).
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wir-
ing information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.

SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIR-
BAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Turn the right multi-function switch control sleeve to
the On position. Check whether the rear wiper sys-
tem is operating. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, test
and repair the rear wiper system before continuing
