INSPECTION
The following information details the recommended
inspection procedures for the battery and related
components. In addition to the maintenance sched-
ules found in this service manual and the owner's
manual, it is recommended that these procedures be
performed any time the battery or related compo-
nents must be removed for vehicle service.
(1) Inspect the battery cable terminal clamps for
damage. Replace any battery cable that has a dam-
aged or deformed terminal clamp.
(2) Inspect the battery tray and battery holddown
hardware for damage. Replace any damaged parts.
(3) Slide the thermal guard off of the battery case.
Inspect the battery case for cracks or other damage
that could result in electrolyte leaks. Also, check the
battery terminal posts for looseness. Batteries with
damaged cases or loose terminal posts must be
replaced.
(4) Inspect the battery built-in test indicator sight
glass for an indication of the battery condition. If the
battery is discharged, charge as required. Refer to
Standard Procedures for the proper battery built-in
indicator test procedures. Also refer to Standard Pro-
cedures for the proper battery charging procedures.
SPECIFICATIONS
The battery Group Size number, the Cold Cranking
Amperage (CCA) rating, and the Reserve Capacity
(RC) rating or Ampere-Hours (AH) rating can be
found on the original equipment battery label. Be
certain that a replacement battery has the correct
Group Size number, as well as CCA, and RC or AH
ratings that equal or exceed the original equipment
specification for the vehicle being serviced. Battery
sizes and ratings are discussed in more detail below.
²Group Size- The outside dimensions and ter-
minal placement of the battery conform to standards
established by the Battery Council International
(BCI). Each battery is assigned a BCI Group Size
number to help identify a correctly-sized replace-
ment.
²Cold Cranking Amperage- The Cold Crank-
ing Amperage (CCA) rating specifies how much cur-
rent (in amperes) the battery can deliver for thirty
seconds at -18É C (0É F). Terminal voltage must not
fall below 7.2 volts during or after the thirty second
discharge period. The CCA required is generally
higher as engine displacement increases, depending
also upon the starter current draw requirements.
²Reserve Capacity- The Reserve Capacity (RC)
rating specifies the time (in minutes) it takes for bat-
tery terminal voltage to fall below 10.5 volts, at a
discharge rate of 25 amperes. RC is determined with
the battery fully-charged at 26.7É C (80É F). This rat-
ing estimates how long the battery might last after a
charging system failure, under minimum electrical
load.
²Ampere-Hours- The Ampere-Hours (AH) rat-
ing specifies the current (in amperes) that a battery
can deliver steadily for twenty hours, with the volt-
age in the battery not falling below 10.5 volts. This
rating is also sometimes identified as the twenty-
hour discharge rating.

OPERATION
These starter motors are equipped with a plane-
tary gear reduction (intermediate transmission) sys-
tem. The planetary gear reduction system consists of
a gear that is integral to the output end of the elec-
tric motor armature shaft that is in continual
engagement with a larger gear that is splined to the
input end of the starter pinion gear shaft. This fea-
ture makes it possible to reduce the dimensions of
the starter. At the same time, it allows higher arma-
ture rotational speed and delivers increased torque
through the starter pinion gear to the starter ring
gear.
The starter motors for both engines are activated
by an integral heavy duty starter solenoid switch
mounted to the overrunning clutch housing. This
electromechanical switch connects and disconnects
the feed of battery voltage to the starter motor and
actuates a shift fork that engages and disengages the
starter pinion gear with the starter ring gear.
Both starter motors use an overrunning clutch and
starter pinion gear unit to engage and drive a starter
ring gear that is integral to the torque converter
drive plate mounted on the rear crankshaft flange.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - STARTER MOTOR
Correct starter motor operation can be confirmed
by performing the following free running bench test.
This test can only be performed with the starter
motor removed from the vehicle. Refer toStarting

STARTER MOTOR RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The starter relay is an electromechanical device
that switches battery current to the pull-in coil of the
starter solenoid when the ignition switch is turned to
the Start position. The starter relay is located in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC), in the engine com-
partment. See the fuse and relay layout label affixed
to the inside surface of the PDC cover for starter
relay identification and location.
The starter relay is a International Standards
Organization (ISO) micro-relay. Relays conforming to
the ISO specifications have common physical dimen-
sions, current capacities, terminal patterns, and ter-
minal functions. The ISO micro-relay terminal
functions are the same as a conventional ISO relay.
However, the ISO micro-relay terminal pattern (or
footprint) is different, the current capacity is lower,
and the physical dimensions are smaller than those
of the conventional ISO relay.
The starter relay cannot be repaired or adjusted
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a
resistor or diode, and three (two fixed and one mov-
able) electrical contacts. The movable (common feed)
relay contact is held against one of the fixed contacts
(normally closed) by spring pressure. When the elec-
tromagnetic coil is energized, it draws the movable
contact away from the normally closed fixed contact,
and holds it against the other (normally open) fixed
contact.
When the electromagnetic coil is de-energized,
spring pressure returns the movable contact to the
normally closed position. The resistor or diode is con-
nected in parallel with the electromagnetic coil in the
relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes that are
produced when the coil is de-energized.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - STARTER RELAY
The starter relay (Fig. 13) is located in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC), in the engine compart-
ment. Refer to the fuse and relay layout label affixed
to the underside of the PDC cover for starter relay
identification and location. For complete circuit dia-
grams, refer toStarting Systemin the Contents of
Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams.

Diode (LED) indicator of the rear window defogger
switch, when the Body Control Module (BCM) rear
window defogger timer and logic circuitry grounds
the relay coil. The rear window defogger relay is
located in the junction block, under the left end of
the instrument panel in the passenger compartment.
The rear window defogger relay is a International
Standards Organization (ISO) relay. Relays conform-
ing to the ISO specifications have common physical
dimensions, current capacities, terminal patterns,
and terminal functions.
The rear window defogger relay cannot be repaired
or adjusted and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a
resistor or diode, and three (two fixed and one mov-
able) electrical contacts. The movable (common feed)
relay contact is held against one of the fixed contacts
(normally closed) by spring pressure. When the elec-
tromagnetic coil is energized, it draws the movable
contact away from the normally closed fixed contact,
and holds it against the other (normally open) fixed
contact.
When the electromagnetic coil is de-energized,
spring pressure returns the movable contact to the
normally closed position. The resistor or diode is con-
nected in parallel with the electromagnetic coil in the
relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes that are
produced when the coil is de-energized.

current capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal
functions. The ISO micro-relay terminal functions
are the same as a conventional ISO relay. However,
the ISO micro-relay terminal pattern (or footprint) is
different, the current capacity is lower, and the phys-
ical dimensions are smaller than those of the conven-
tional ISO relay.
The horn relay cannot be repaired or adjusted and,
if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a
resistor or diode, and three (two fixed and one mov-
able) electrical contacts. The movable (common feed)
relay contact is held against one of the fixed contacts
(normally closed) by spring pressure. When the elec-
tromagnetic coil is energized, it draws the movable
contact away from the normally closed fixed contact,
and holds it against the other (normally open) fixed

WIPER HIGH/LOW RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The wiper high/low relay is located in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) in the engine compart-
ment near the battery. The wiper high/low relay is a
conventional International Standards Organization
(ISO) micro relay (Fig. 25). Relays conforming to the
ISO specifications have common physical dimensions,
current capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal
functions. The relay is contained within a small, rect-
angular, molded plastic housing and is connected to
all of the required inputs and outputs by five integral
male spade-type terminals that extend from the bot-
tom of the relay base.
The wiper high/low relay cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The wiper high/low relay is an electromechanical
switch that uses a low current input from the Body
Control Module (BCM) to control a high current out-
put to the front wiper motor. The movable common
feed contact point is held against the fixed normally
closed contact point by spring pressure. When the
relay coil is energized, an electromagnetic field is
produced by the coil windings. This electromagnetic
field draws the movable relay contact point away
from the fixed normally closed contact point, and
holds it against the fixed normally open contact
point. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring
pressure returns the movable contact point back
against the fixed normally closed contact point. A
resistor is connected in parallel with the relay coil in
the relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and
electromagnetic interference that can be generated as
the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The wiper high/low relay terminals are connected
to the vehicle electrical system through a connector
receptacle in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
The inputs and outputs of the wiper high/low relay
include:
²Common Feed Terminal- The common feed
terminal (30) is connected to the output of the wiper
on/off relay at all times through the wiper on/off
relay output circuit.
²Coil Ground Terminal- The coil ground termi-
nal (85) is connected to a control output of the Body
Control Module (BCM) through a front wiper high/
low relay control circuit. The BCM controls front
wiper motor operation by controlling a ground path
through this circuit.
²Coil Battery Terminal- The coil battery ter-
minal (86) receives battery current at all times from
a circuit breaker in the Junction Block (JB) through
a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit.

WIPER ON/OFF RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The wiper on/off relay is located in the Power Dis-
tribution Center (PDC) in the engine compartment
near the battery. The wiper on/off relay is a conven-
tional International Standards Organization (ISO)
micro relay (Fig. 28). Relays conforming to the ISO
specifications have common physical dimensions, cur-
rent capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal func-
tions. The relay is contained within a small,
rectangular, molded plastic housing and is connected
to all of the required inputs and outputs by five inte-
gral male spade-type terminals that extend from the
bottom of the relay base.
The wiper on/off relay cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The wiper on/off relay is an electromechanical
switch that uses a low current input from the Body
Control Module (BCM) to control a high current out-
put to the front wiper motor. The movable common
feed contact point is held against the fixed normally
closed contact point by spring pressure. When the
relay coil is energized, an electromagnetic field is
produced by the coil windings. This electromagnetic
field draws the movable relay contact point away
from the fixed normally closed contact point, and
holds it against the fixed normally open contact
point. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring
pressure returns the movable contact point back
against the fixed normally closed contact point. A
resistor is connected in parallel with the relay coil in
the relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and
electromagnetic interference that can be generated as
the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The wiper on/off relay terminals are connected to
the vehicle electrical system through a connector
receptacle in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
The inputs and outputs of the wiper on/off relay
include:
²Common Feed Terminal- The common feed
terminal (30) is connected to the common feed termi-
nal of the wiper high/low relay at all times through
the wiper on/off relay output circuit.
²Coil Ground Terminal- The coil ground termi-
nal (85) is connected to a control output of the Body
Control Module (BCM) through a front wiper on/off
relay control circuit. The BCM controls front wiper
motor operation by controlling a ground path through
this circuit.
²Coil Battery Terminal- The coil battery ter-
minal (86) receives battery current at all times from
a circuit breaker in the Junction Block (JB) through
a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit.
²Normally Open Terminal- The normally open
terminal (87) receives battery current at all times
from a circuit breaker in the Junction Block (JB)
through a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) cir-
cuit, and provides battery current to the front wiper
on/off relay output circuit whenever the relay is ener-
gized.
²Normally Closed Terminal- The normally
closed terminal (87A) is connected to the wiper park
switch in the front wiper motor through the front
wiper park switch sense circuit, and is connected to
the wiper park switch whenever the relay is de-ener-
gized.
The wiper on/off relay can be diagnosed using con-
ventional diagnostic tools and methods.
