remains positioned for easy entry, and the memory
switch on the door panel can be depressed after
entering the vehicle to return the seat to the desired
memory position.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS
DEMAGNETIZING
A degaussing tool (Special Tool 6029) is used to
demagnetize, or degauss, the overhead console for-
ward mounting screw and the roof panel above the
overhead console. Equivalent units must be rated as
continuous duty for 110/115 volts and 60 Hz. They
must also have a field strength of over 350 gauss at 7
millimeters (0.25 inch) beyond the tip of the probe.
To demagnetize the roof panel and the overhead
console forward mounting screw, proceed as follows:
(1) Be certain that the ignition switch is in the Off
position, before you begin the demagnetizing proce-
dure.
(2) Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical
outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61 centimeters
(2 feet) away from the compass unit.
(3) Slowly approach the head of the overhead con-
sole forward mounting screw with the degaussing
tool connected.
(4) Contact the head of the screw with the plastic
coated tip of the degaussing tool for about two sec-
onds.(5) With the degaussing tool still energized, slowly
back it away from the screw. When the tip of the tool
is at least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from the screw
head, disconnect the tool.
(6) Place a piece of paper approximately 22 by 28
centimeters (8.5 by 11 inches), oriented on the vehicle
lengthwise from front to rear, on the center line of
the roof at the windshield header (Fig. 3). The pur-
pose of the paper is to protect the roof panel from
scratches, and to define the area to be demagnetized.
(7) Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical
outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61 centimeters
(2 feet) away from the compass unit.
(8) Slowly approach the center line of the roof
panel at the windshield header, with the degaussing
tool connected.
(9) Contact the roof panel with the plastic coated
tip of the degaussing tool. Be sure that the template
is in place to avoid scratching the roof panel. Using a
slow, back-and-forth sweeping motion, and allowing
13 millimeters (0.50 inch) between passes, move the
tool at least 11 centimeters (4 inches) to each side of
the roof center line, and 28 centimeters (11 inches)
back from the windshield header.
(10) With the degaussing tool still energized,
slowly back it away from the roof panel. When the

for door and liftgate open indications and to show if a
turn signal has been left on. The EVIC messages and
displays are coordinated with warning indicators in
the instrument cluster to avoid duplication.
The EVIC module contains a central processing
unit and interfaces with other electronic modules in
the vehicle over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network. The PCI data bus
network allows the sharing of sensor information.
This helps to reduce wire harness complexity, reduce
internal controller hardware, and reduce component
sensor current loads. At the same time, this system
provides increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics,
and allows the addition of many new feature capabil-
ities.
The EVIC module includes the following display
options:
²Compass and Temperature- provides the out-
side temperature and one of eight compass readings
to indicate the direction the vehicle is facing.
²Average fuel economy- shows the average
fuel economy since the last trip computer reset.
²Distance to empty- shows the estimated dis-
tance that can be travelled with the fuel remaining
in the fuel tank. This estimated distance is computed
using the average miles-per-gallon from the last 30
gallons of fuel used.
²Instant fuel economy- shows the present fuel
economy based upon the current vehicle distance and
fuel used information.
²Trip distance- shows the distance travelled
since the last trip computer reset.
²Elapsed time- shows the accumulated igni-
tion-on time since the last trip computer reset.
²Distance to service- shows the distance
remaining until the next scheduled service interval.
²Tire Pressure- shows the tire pressure in each
tire.
²Blank screen- the EVIC compass/temperature/
trip computer VFD is turned off.
The EVIC is capable of displaying the following
alert messages, which are accompanied by an audible
announcement consisting of a series of beeps:
²TURN SIGNALS ON (with vehicle graphic)-
Indicates that a turn signal has remained on for
about 1.6 kilometers (one mile).
²PERFORM SERVICE- Indicates that a cus-
tomer programmable service interval distance has
been reached.
²DOOR OPEN (one or more, with vehicle
graphic)- Indicates that a door is open or not fully
closed.
²LIFTGATE OPEN (with vehicle graphic)-

engine coolant reservoir is low.
²XX LOW PRESSURE (with vehicle graphic)
- Indicates that the air pressure in the selected tire
is low.
²WASHER FLUID LOW (with vehicle
graphic)- Indicates that the fluid level in the
washer fluid reservoir is low.
The EVIC ªMenuº push button provides the vehicle
operator with a user interface, which allows the
selection of several optional customer programmable
electronic features to suit individual preferences.
Refer toELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMA-
TION CENTER PROGRAMMINGin the Service
Procedures section of this group for more information
on the customer programmable feature options.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional mem-
ory system, the EVIC will display the following mem-
ory system messages:
²MEMORY #X POSITION SET (X = Driver 1
or Driver 2)- This message appears in the EVIC
display each time the memory system is successfully
programmed. It is accompanied by an audible
announcement chime tone.
²MEMORY SYSTEM DISABLED- The memory
system is automatically disabled while the driver
side seat belt is fastened and/or while the automatic
transmission gear selector is in any position except
Park or Neutral. This message appears in the EVIC
display as a reminder when a memory switch push
button is depressed while the memory system is dis-
abled. If the REMOTE LINKED TO MEMORY cus-
tomer programmable feature has been selected, this
message will also appear when the Unlock button of
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is
depressed while the memory system is disabled.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional Univer-
sal Transmitter transceiver, the EVIC will also dis-
play messages and an icon indicating when the
Universal Transmitter is being trained, which of the
three transmitter buttons is transmitting, and when
the transceiver is cleared.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optionalTire
Pressure Monitoring System, the EVIC will also
display messages and an icon indicating when the
tire air pressure falls below a given set-point, and
which of the five tires is transmitting the low pres-
sure warning, and when the condition is cleared.
Refer to the Tires/Wheels section of this manual for
complete Tire Pressure Monitoring System descrip-
tion. Refer to this section of the service manual for
EVIC modules function description for the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring.
Data input for all EVIC functions, including VFD

messages. The EVIC module uses its internal pro-
gramming and all of its data inputs to calculate and
display the requested data. If the data displayed is
incorrect, perform the self-diagnostic tests as
described in this group. If these tests prove inconclu-
sive, the use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the proper
Diagnostic Procedures manual are recommended for
further testing of the EVIC module and the PCI data
bus.
The EVIC module cannot be repaired, and is avail-
able for service only as a unit. This unit includes the
push button switches and the plastic housed module.
If any of these components are faulty or damaged,
the complete EVIC module must be replaced. The
incandescent bulbs used for EVIC push button back-
lighting and the display lens are available for service
replacement.
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
CHIME
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
uses the chime warning system for two different
kinds of support. In addition to requesting chime
tones from the Body Control Module (BCM) as tactile
beep support, the EVIC is programmed to send chime
request messages over the Programmable Communi-
cations Interface (PCI) data bus when it detects the
following conditions:
²Door Open Warning- A door is open above a
critical speed [about 16 kilometers-per-hour (10
miles-per-hour) for the driver side front door, or
about 5 kilometers-per-hour (3 miles-per-hour) for
any other door].
²Liftgate Open Warning- The liftgate is open
above a critical speed [about 5 kilometers-per-hour (3
miles-per-hour)].
²Liftglass Open Warning- The liftgate flip-up
glass is open above a critical speed [about 5 kilome-
ters-per-hour (3 miles-per-hour)].
²Low Coolant Level Warning- The coolant
level in the engine coolant reservoir is low.
²Perform Service Alert- An audible alert that
a ªPerform Serviceº reminder message is being dis-
played by the EVIC.
²Turn Signal On Warning- A turn signal
remains on for about 1.6 kilometers (one mile).
²Washer Fluid Low Warning- The fluid level
in the washer reservoir is low.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the EVIC. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD
CONSOLE/ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER
- DESCRIPTION) for more information on the EVIC.
COMPASS
While in the compass/temperature mode, the com-
pass will display the direction in which the vehicle is
pointed using the eight major compass headings
(Examples: north is N, northeast is NE). The self-cal-
ibrating compass unit requires no adjusting in nor-
mal use. The only calibration that may prove
necessary is to drive the vehicle in one circle at 5 to
8 kilometers-per-hour (3 to 5 miles-per-hour), on level
ground, in not less than 20 seconds. This will reori-
ent the compass unit to its vehicle.
The compass unit also will compensate for magne-
tism the body of the vehicle may acquire during nor-
mal use. However, avoid placing anything magnetic
directly on the roof of the vehicle. Magnetic mounts
for an antenna, a repair order hat, or a funeral pro-
cession flag can exceed the compensating ability of
the compass unit if placed on the roof panel. Mag-
netic bit drivers used on the fasteners that hold the
overhead console assembly to the roof header can
also affect compass operation. If the vehicle roof
should become magnetized, the demagnetizing and
calibration procedures found in this group may be
required to restore proper compass operation.
TEMPERATURE
The outside ambient temperature is displayed in
whole degrees. The temperature display can be tog-
gled from Fahrenheit to Celsius by selecting the
desired U.S./Metric option from the customer pro-
grammable features as described inELECTRONIC
VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER PROGRAM-
MINGin the Standard Procedures section of this
group. The displayed temperature is not an instant
reading of conditions, but an average temperature. It
may take the temperature display several minutes to
respond to a major temperature change, such as driv-
ing out of a heated garage into winter temperatures.
When the ignition switch is turned to the Off posi-
tion, the last displayed temperature reading stays in
the Body Control Module (BCM) unit memory. When
the ignition switch is turned to the On position
again, the EVIC will display the memory tempera-
ture for one minute; then update the display to the
current average temperature reading within five
minutes.
The temperature function is supported by an ambi-
ent temperature sensor. The sensor is mounted out-
side the passenger compartment near the front and
center of the vehicle, and is hard wired to the Body
Control Module (BCM). The BCM sends temperature
status messages to the EVIC module over the PCI
data bus network. The ambient temperature sensor
is available as a separate service item.

the TPM system will need to be retrained. Refer to
the Tires/Wheels section of this manual for the pro-
cedure.
UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER
DESCRIPTION
The Grand Cherokee Limited model has a Univer-
sal Garage Door Opener (UGDO) transceiver as stan-
dard factory-installed equipment. The UGDO is
optional on Laredo models. The UGDO transceiver is
integral to the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC), which is located in the overhead console. The
only visible component of the UGDO are the three
transmitter push buttons centered between the four
EVIC push buttons located just rearward of the
EVIC display screen in the overhead console. The
three UGDO transmitter push buttons are identified
with one, two or three dots so that they be easily
identified by sight.
Each of the three UGDO transmitter push buttons
controls an independent radio transmitter channel.
Each of these three channels can be trained to trans-
mit a different radio frequency signal for the remoteoperation of garage door openers, motorized gate
openers, home or office lighting, security systems or
just about any other device that can be equipped
with a radio receiver in the 288 to 410 MegaHertz
(MHz) frequency range for remote operation. The
UGDO is capable of operating systems using either
rolling code or non-rolling code technology.
The EVIC module displays messages and a small
house-shaped icon with one, two or three dots corre-
sponding to the three transmitter buttons to indicate
the status of the UGDO. The EVIC messages are:
²Cleared Channels- Indicates that all of the
transmitter codes stored in the UGDO have been suc-
cessfully cleared.
²Training- Indicates that the UGDO is in its
transmitter learning mode.
²Trained- Indicates that the UGDO has success-
fully acquired a new transmitter code.
²Transmit- Indicates that a trained UGDO
transmitter button has been depressed and that the
UGDO is transmitting.
The UGDO cannot be repaired, and is available for
service only as a unit with the EVIC module. This
unit includes the push button switches and the plas-
tic module. If any of these components are faulty or
damaged, the complete EVIC module must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The universal transmitter operates on a non-
switched source of battery current so the unit will
remain functional, regardless of the ignition switch
position. For more information on the features, pro-
gramming procedures and operation of the universal
transmitter, see the owner's manual in the vehicle
glove box.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - UNIVERSAL
TRANSMITTER
If the Universal Transmitter is inoperative, but the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) is oper-
ating normally, see the owner's manual in the vehicle
glove box for instructions on training the Transmit-
ter. Retrain the Transmitter with a known good
transmitter as instructed in the owner's manual and
test the Transmitter operation again. If the unit is
still inoperative, replace the faulty Transmitter and
EVIC module as a unit. If both the Transmitter and
the EVIC module are inoperative, refer toElec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center Diagnosis
and Testingin this group for further diagnosis. For
complete circuit diagrams, refer toWiring Dia-
grams.

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - POWER LOCK SYSTEM
A power operated door and liftgate lock system is
standard factory-installed equipment on this model.
The power lock system allows all of the doors and the
liftgate to be locked or unlocked electrically by oper-
ating a switch on either front door trim panel. The
power lock system receives non-switched battery feedthrough a fuse in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC), so that the power locks remain operational,
regardless of the ignition switch position.
The power lock system for this vehicle also has a
door lock inhibit feature, which prevents the power
lock system from being energized with a power door
lock switch if a front door is open with the key in the
ignition. However, the locks can still be operated
manually, with a key, energized with the RKE trans-
mitter or by sliding the door lock lever to the appro-
priate position.
WJPOWER SYSTEMS 8N - 1

This vehicle also offers several customer program-
mable features, which allows the selection of several
optional electronic features to suit individual prefer-
ences. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CON-
SOLE/ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER -
DESCRIPTION). Customer programmable feature
options affecting the power door lock system include:
²Auto Door Locks- Automatically locks all of
the vehicle doors and the liftgate when the vehicle
reaches a speed of about 24 kilometers-per-hour (15
miles-per-hour) with 10% throttle tip-in.
²Auto Unlock on Exit- Automatically unlocks
all of the vehicle doors and the liftgate when the
driver side front door is opened, if the vehicle is
stopped and the transmission gear selector is in the
Park or Neutral positions. This feature is linked to
the Auto Door Locks feature, and will only occur one
time following each Auto Door Lock event.
The power lock system for this vehicle can also be
operated remotely using the standard equipment
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system radio frequency
transmitters. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
LOCKS - DESCRIPTION - REMOTE KEYLESS
ENTRY SYSTEM).
The components of the power lock system include:
²Driver Door Module (DDM)
²Passenger Door Module (PDM)
²PCI Bus Messages
²Power Lock Motors
Certain functions and features of the power lock
system rely upon resources shared with other elec-
tronic modules in the vehicle over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network.
The PCI data bus network allows the sharing of sen-
sor information. This helps to reduce wire harness
complexity, internal controller hardware, and compo-
nent sensor current loads. At the same time, this sys-
tem provides increased reliability, enhanced
diagnostics, and allows the addition of many new fea-
ture capabilities. For proper diagnosis of these elec-
tronic modules or of the PCI data bus network, the
use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diag-
nostic information are required.
The other electronic modules that may affect power
lock system operation are as follows:
²Body Control Module (BCM)- (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/BODY CONTROL/CENTRAL TIMER MOD-
ULE - DESCRIPTION).
²Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)- (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD
CONSOLE/ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER
- DESCRIPTION).
²Powertrain Control Module (PCM)- (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROLMODULES/POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE -
DESCRIPTION).
Hard wired circuitry connects the power lock sys-
tem components to the electrical system of the vehi-
cle. 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 power lock sys-
tem components through the use of a combination of
soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many
different types of wire harness terminal connectors
and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring infor-
mation. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
further details on wire harness routing and reten-
tion, as well as pin-out and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
DESCRIPTION - REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
SYSTEM
A Radio Frequency (RF) type Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) system is standard factory-installed
equipment on this model. The RKE system allows
the use of a remote battery-powered radio transmit-
ter to control the power lock system. The RKE
receiver operates on non-switched battery current
through a fuse in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC), so that the system remains operational,
regardless of the ignition switch position.
In addition to Lock and Unlock buttons, the RKE
transmitters are also equipped with a Panic button.
If the Panic button on the RKE transmitter is
depressed, the horn will sound and the exterior lights
will flash on the vehicle for about three minutes, or
until the Panic button is depressed a second time, if
ignition is in the Off position. A vehicle speed of
about 24 kilometers-per-hour (15 miles-per-hour) will
also cancel the panic event.
The RKE system can also perform other functions
on this vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with the
optional Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS), the
RKE transmitter will arm the VTSS when the Lock
button is depressed, and disarm the VTSS when the
Unlock button is depressed. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY - DESCRIPTION
- VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM). If the
vehicle is equipped with the optional Memory Sys-
tem, each of the two numbered and color-coded RKE
transmitters can be used to recall the stored driver
side front seat position, both outside power rear view
mirror positions, and the radio station presets for the
two assigned drivers. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
POWER SEATS - DESCRIPTION - MEMORY SYS-
TEM).

The RKE system includes two transmitters when
the vehicle is shipped from the factory, but the sys-
tem can retain the vehicle access codes of up to four
transmitters. The transmitter codes are retained in
the RKE receiver memory, even if the battery is dis-
connected. If an RKE transmitter is faulty or lost,
new transmitter vehicle access codes can be pro-
grammed into the system using a DRBIIItscan tool
and the appropriate diagnostic information.
This vehicle also offers several customer program-
mable features, which allows the selection of several
optional electronic features to suit individual prefer-
ences. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CON-
SOLE/ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER -
DESCRIPTION). Customer programmable feature
options affecting the RKE system include:
²Remote Unlock- Allows the option of having
only the driver side front door unlock when the RKE
transmitter Unlock button is depressed the first time
and the remaining doors and the liftgate unlock
when the button is depressed a second time, or hav-
ing all doors and the liftgate unlock upon the first
depression of the RKE transmitter Unlock button.
²Remote Linked to Memory- If the vehicle is
equipped with the Memory System, this feature
allows the option of having the RKE transmitter
Unlock button activate the recall of the stored set-
tings, or having the recall function assigned solely to
the memory switch on the driver side front door trim
panel.
²Sound Horn on Lock- Allows the option of
having the horn sound a short chirp as an audible
verification that the doors have locked, or having no
audible verification.
²Flash Lights with Lock- Allows the option of
having the lights flash as an optical verification that
the doors have locked, or having no optical verifica-
tion.
This group covers the following components of the
RKE system:
²RKE Receiver
²RKE Transmitter
Certain functions and features of the RKE system
rely upon resources shared with other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus network. The
PCI data bus network allows the sharing of sensor
information. This helps to reduce wire harness com-
plexity, internal controller hardware, and component
sensor current loads. At the same time, this system
provides increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics,
and allows the addition of many new feature capabil-
ities. For diagnosis of these electronic modules or of
the PCI data bus network, the use of a DRBIIItscan
tool and the appropriate diagnostic information are
required.The other electronic modules that may affect RKE
system operation are as follows:
²Body Control Module (BCM)- (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/BODY CONTROL/CENTRAL TIMER MOD-
ULE - DESCRIPTION).
²Driver Door Module (DDM)- (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/DOOR MODULE - DESCRIPTION).
²Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)- (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD
CONSOLE/ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER

Hard wired circuitry connects the RKE system
components via the PDM 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 RKE system com-
ponents 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.
COMBINATION FLASHER
The combination flasher is a smart relay that func-
tions as both the turn signal system and the hazard
warning system flasher. The combination flasher con-
tains active electronic Integrated Circuitry (IC) ele-
ments. This flasher can be energized by the BCM to
flash all of the park/turn signal/front side marker
lamps as an optical alert for the RKE panic function
and, if the Flash Lights with Lock programmable fea-
ture is enabled, as an optical verification for the RKE
lock event. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/
LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/COMBINATION FLASHER
- DESCRIPTION).
HORN RELAY
The horn relay is a electromechanical device that
switches battery current to the horn when the horn
switch grounds the relay coil. The horn relay is
located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) in
WJPOWER LOCKS 8N - 3
POWER LOCKS (Continued)

the engine compartment. This relay can be energized
by the BCM to sound the horns as an audible alert
for the RKE panic function and, if the Sound Horn
on Lock programmable feature is enabled, as an
audible verification for the RKE lock event. (Refer to
8 - ELECTRICAL/HORN/HORN RELAY - DESCRIP-
TION).
LOW BEAM HEADLAMP RELAY
The low beam headlamp relay is a electromechan-
ical device that switches battery current to the head-
lamp low beams when the BCM grounds the relay
coil. The low beam headlamp relay is located in the
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 -

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.
