AUDIO
DESCRIPTION
An audio system is standard factory-installed
equipment on this model. The standard equipment
audio system includes an AM/FM/cassette (RBB sales
code) radio receiver, and speakers in six locations.
Several combinations of radio receivers and speaker
systems are offered as optional equipment on this
model. The audio system uses an ignition switched
control of battery current so that the system will only
operate when the ignition switch is in the On or
Accessory positions.
A Compact Disc (CD) changer with a ten disc mag-
azine, remote radio switches with six functions
mounted to the backs of the steering wheel spokes,
and a memory system that automatically stores and
recalls up to twenty radio station presets (ten AM
and ten FM) and the last station listened to for two
drivers are optional factory-installed equipment on
this model. Refer to Electrical, Power Seats for more
information on the memory system.
The audio system includes the following compo-
nents:
²Antenna
²Compact disc changer (available with RBP sales
code radio receivers only)
²Power amplifier (with premium speaker system
only)
²Radio noise suppression components
²Radio receiver
²Remote radio switches
²Speakers
Certain functions and features of the audio 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 DRB scan
tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual
are recommended.
The other electronic modules that may affect audio
system operation are as follows:
²Body Control Module (BCM)- (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/BODY CONTROL/CENTRAL TIMER MODUL
- DESCRIPTION) for more information.
²Driver Door Module (DDM)(Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-ULES/DRIVER DOOR MODULE - DESCRIPTION)
for more information.
²Passenger Door Module (PDM)(Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/DRIVER DOOR MODULE - DESCRIPTION)
for more information.
The audio system includes the following major
components, which are described in further detail
elsewhere in this service information:
²Amplifier- On models equipped with the
optional premium speaker system, an audio power
amplifier is located on the rear floor panel under-
neath the right end of the rear seat cushion in the
passenger compartment.
²Antenna Body and Cable- The most visible
component of the antenna body and cable are the
antenna adapter and the antenna cap nut, which are
located on the top of the right front fender panel of
the vehicle, near the right end of the cowl plenum.
²Antenna Mast- The antenna mast is a metal
rod that extends upward from the antenna body and
cable on the top of the right front fender panel of the
vehicle, near the right end of the cowl plenum.
²Radio- The radio for this model is located in
the instrument panel center stack area, inboard of
the instrument cluster and above the heater and air
conditioner controls.
²Radio Noise Suppression Ground Strap-A
radio noise suppression ground strap is installed
between the rear of the engine cylinder head(s) and
the dash panel sheet metal in the engine compart-
ment.
²Speaker- The standard speaker system
includes six speakers in six locations, while the pre-
mium speaker system includes an amplifier for the
six speakers in six locations.
Hard wired circuitry connects the audio system
components to each other through the electrical sys-
tem of the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are
integral to several wire harnesses, which are routed
throughout the vehicle and retained by many differ-
ent methods. These circuits may be connected to each
other, to the vehicle electrical system and to the
audio 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 in this service manual for com-
plete standard and premium audio system circuit
diagrams. The wiring information includes 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 har-
ness connectors, splices, and grounds.
8A - 2 AUDIOWJ

OPERATION
The audio system components are designed to pro-
vide audio entertainment and information through
the reception, tuning and amplification of locally
broadcast radio signals in both the Amplitude Modu-
lating (AM) and Frequency Modulating (FM) com-
mercial frequency ranges. Electromagnetic radio
signals that are broadcast from a radio station
induce electrical modulations into the audio system
antenna mast. The antenna body and cable conduct
these weak signals from the antenna mast to the
radio. The radio then tunes and amplifies these weak
radio frequency signals into stronger electrical audio
signals that are required in order to operate the
audio system speakers. The speakers convert these
electrical signals into air movement, which repro-
duces the sounds being broadcast by the radio sta-
tion.
Some audio systems also offer the user the option
of selecting from and listening to prerecorded audio
cassette tapes, audio compact discs, or both. Regard-
less of the media type, the audio system components
provide the user with the ability to electronically
amplify and adjust the audio signals being repro-
duced by the speakers within the vehicle to suit the
preferences of the vehicle occupants.
The audio system components operate on battery
current received through a fuse in the Junction Block
(JB) on a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) cir-
cuit so that the system will only operate when the
ignition switch is in the On or Accessory positions.
On vehicles that are equipped with the optional
remote radio switches, the BCM receives hard wired
resistor multiplexed inputs from the remote radio
switches. The programming in the BCM allows it to
process those inputs and send the proper messages to
the radio receiver over the PCI data bus to control
the radio volume up or down, station seek up or
down, preset station advance, and mode advance
functions.On vehicles equipped with the optional memory
system, when the DDM receives a Driver 1 or Driver
2 memory recall input from the memory switch on
the driver side front door trim panel or a memory
recall message from the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
receiver in the PDM, the DDM sends a memory
recall message back to the radio receiver over the
PCI data bus to recall the radio station presets and
last station listened to information.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of each of the available audio systems.

RADIO (Continued)

The two remote radio switch units share a common
steering wheel wire harness with the vehicle speed
control switches. The steering wheel wire harness is
connected to the instrument panel wire harness
through the clockspring. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
RESTRAINTS/CLOCKSPRING - DESCRIPTION) for
more information on this component.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appro-
priate wiring information. The wiring 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 connec-
tors, splices and grounds.
OPERATION
The six switches in the two remote radio switch
units are normally open, resistor multiplexed
momentary switches that are hard wired to the Body
Control Module (BCM) through the clockspring. The
BCM sends a five volt reference signal to both switch
units on one circuit, and senses the status of all of
the switches by reading the voltage drop on a second
circuit.
When the BCM senses an input (voltage drop) from
any one of the remote radio switches, it sends the
proper switch status messages on the ProgrammableCommunication Interface (PCI) data bus network to
the radio receiver. The electronic circuitry within the
radio receiver is programmed to respond to these
remote radio switch status messages by adjusting the
radio settings as requested. For diagnosis of the
BCM or the PCI data bus, the use of a DRB scan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual are
recommended.
For more information on the features and control
functions for each of the remote radio switches, see
the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box.

certain conditions or inputs to provide the vehicle
operator with an audible alert to supplement a visual
indication.
The EMIC circuitry operates on battery current
received through fused B(+) fuses in the Power Dis-
tribution Center (PDC) and the Junction Block (JB)
on a non-switched fused B(+) circuit, and on battery
current received through a fused ignition switch out-
put (run-start) fuse in the JB on a fused ignition
switch output (run-start) circuit. This arrangement
allows the EMIC to provide some features regardless
of the ignition switch position, while other features
will operate only with the ignition switch in the On
or Start positions. The EMIC circuitry is grounded
through two separate ground circuits of the instru-
ment panel wire harness. These ground circuits
receive ground through take outs of the instrument
panel wire harness with eyelet terminal connectors
that are secured by a nut to a ground stud located on
the floor panel transmission tunnel beneath the cen-
ter floor console, just forward of the Airbag Control
Module (ACM).
The EMIC also has a self-diagnostic actuator test
capability, which will test each of the PCI bus mes-
sage-controlled functions of the cluster by lighting
the appropriate indicators (except the airbag indica-
tor), sweeping the gauge needles across the gauge
faces from their minimum to their maximum read-
ings, and stepping the odometer display sequentially
from all zeros through all nines. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING). The self-diagnostic actuator test
can be initialized manually or using a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the EMIC.
GAUGES
All gauges receive battery current through the
EMIC circuitry when the ignition switch is in the On
or Start positions. With the ignition switch in the Off
position battery current is not supplied to any
gauges, and the EMIC circuitry is programmed to
move all of the gauge needles back to the low end of
their respective scales. Therefore, the gauges do not
accurately indicate any vehicle condition unless the
ignition switch is in the On or Start positions. All of
the EMIC gauges, except the odometer, are air core
magnetic units. Two fixed electromagnetic coils are
located within each gauge. These coils are wrapped
at right angles to each other around a movable per-
manent magnet. The movable magnet is suspended
within the coils on one end of a pivot shaft, while the
gauge needle is attached to the other end of the
shaft. One of the coils has a fixed current flowingthrough it to maintain a constant magnetic field
strength. Current flow through the second coil
changes, which causes changes in its magnetic field
strength. The current flowing through the second coil
is changed by the EMIC circuitry in response to mes-
sages received over the PCI data bus. The gauge nee-
dle moves as the movable permanent magnet aligns
itself to the changing magnetic fields created around
it by the electromagnets.
The gauges are diagnosed using the EMIC self-di-
agnostic actuator test. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). Proper testing of the PCI data bus, and
the data bus message inputs to the EMIC that con-
trol each gauge requires the use of a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
Specific operation details for each gauge may be
found elsewhere in this service information.
VACUUM-FLUORESCENT DISPLAY
The Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) module is
soldered to the EMIC circuit board. The display is
active with the ignition switch in the On or Start
positions, and inactive when the ignition switch is in
any other position. The illumination intensity of the
VFD is controlled by the EMIC circuitry based upon
electronic dimming level messages received from the
BCM over the PCI data bus, and is synchronized
with the illumination intensity of other VFDs in the
vehicle. The BCM provides dimming level messages
based upon internal programming and inputs it
receives from the control knob and control ring on
the control stalk of the left (lighting) multi-function
switch on the steering column.
The VFD has several display capabilities including
odometer and trip odometer information. An odome-
ter/trip odometer switch on the EMIC circuit board is
used to control the display modes. This switch is
actuated manually by depressing the odometer/trip
odometer switch button that extends through the
lower edge of the cluster lens, just right of the speed-
ometer. Actuating this switch momentarily with the
ignition switch in the On position will toggle the
VFD between the odometer and trip odometer modes.
The EMIC microprocessor remembers which display
mode is active when the ignition switch is turned to
the Off position, and returns the display to that
mode when the ignition switch is turned On again.
Depressing the switch button for about two seconds
while the VFD is in the trip odometer mode will
reset the trip odometer value to zero. Holding this
switch depressed while turning the ignition switch
from the Off position to the On position will initiate
the EMIC self-diagnostic actuator test. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information for additional
details on this VFD function.

instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic will
only allow this indicator to operate when the instru-
ment cluster receives a battery current input on the
fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the indicator will always be off when the
ignition switch is in any position except On or Start.
The bulb only illuminates when it is provided a path
to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn on the MIL for the fol-
lowing reasons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the MIL is illuminated for
about three seconds as a bulb test.
²MIL Lamp-On Message- Each time the clus-
ter receives a MIL lamp-on message from the PCM,
the indicator will be illuminated. The indicator can
be flashed on and off, or illuminated solid, as dic-
tated by the PCM message. For some DTC's, if a
problem does not recur, the PCM will send a MIL
lamp-off message automatically. Other DTC's may
require that a fault be repaired and the PCM be
reset before a MIL lamp-off message will be sent. For
more information on the PCM and the DTC set and
reset parameters, (Refer to 25 - EMISSIONS CON-
TROL - OPERATION).
²Communication Error- If the cluster receives
no MIL lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the PCM
for twenty consecutive seconds, the MIL is illumi-
nated by the instrument cluster. The indicator
remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster
until a valid MIL lamp-on or lamp-off message is
received from the PCM.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the MIL will be turned on
for the duration of the test to confirm the functional-
ity of the bulb and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors each of the many
fuel and emissions system circuits and sensors to
decide whether the system is in good operating con-
dition. The PCM then sends the proper MIL lamp-on
or lamp-off messages to the instrument cluster. If the
MIL fails to light during the bulb test, replace the
bulb with a known good unit. For further diagnosis of
the MIL or the instrument cluster circuitry that con-
trols the indicator, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IN-
STRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). If the instrument cluster turns on the
MIL after the bulb test, it may indicate that a mal-
function has occurred and that the fuel and emis-
sions system may require service. For proper
diagnosis of the fuel and emissions systems, the
PCM, the PCI data bus, or the electronic message
inputs to the instrument cluster that control the
MIL, a DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.ODOMETER
DESCRIPTION
An odometer and trip odometer are standard
equipment in all instrument clusters. The odometer
and trip odometer information are displayed in a
common electronic, blue-green Vacuum-Fluorescent
Display (VFD), which is located in the lower edge of
the speedometer dial face in the instrument cluster
and, when illuminated, is visible through a small
window cutout in the gauge overlay. However, the
odometer and trip odometer information are not dis-
played simultaneously. The trip odometer reset
switch on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board toggles the display between odometer and trip
odometer modes by depressing the odometer/trip
odometer switch button that extends through the
lower edge of the cluster lens to the right of the
speedometer.
All odometer and trip odometer distance informa-
tion is stored in the instrument cluster memory. This
distance information can be increased when the
proper inputs are provided to the instrument cluster,
but the distance information cannot be decreased.
The odometer can display values up to 999,999 kilo-
meters (999,999 miles). The odometer will not roll
over, but will latch at the maximum value. The trip
odometer can display values up to 999.9 kilometers
(999.9 miles) before it rolls over to zero. The odome-
ter display does not have a decimal point and will
not show values less than a full unit (kilometer or
mile), the trip odometer display does have a decimal
point and will show tenths of a unit (kilometer or
mile).
The unit of measure for the odometer and trip
odometer display is not shown in the VFD. The unit
of measure for the odometer/trip odometer is selected
at the time that the instrument cluster is manufac-
tured, and cannot be changed. If the instrument clus-
ter has a kilometers-per-hour primary speedometer
scale, the odometer/trip odometer registers kilome-
ters; and, if the cluster features a miles-per-hour pri-
mary speedometer scale, the odometer/trip odometer
registers miles.
During daylight hours (exterior lamps Off) the
VFD is illuminated at full brightness for clear visibil-
ity. At night (exterior lamps are On) the instrument
cluster converts an electronic dimming level message
received from the Body Control Module (BCM) over
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
data bus to a digital dimming level signal for control-
ling the lighting level of the VFD. However, a
ªParadeº mode position of the panel lamps dimmer
control ring on the control stalk of the left (lighting)
multi-function switch allows the VFD to be illumi-
8J - 24 INSTRUMENT CLUSTERWJ
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) (Continued)

nated at full brightness if the exterior lamps are
turned On during daylight hours.
The VFD, the trip odometer switch, and the trip
odometer switch button are serviced as a unit with
the instrument cluster.
OPERATION
The odometer and trip odometer give an indication
to the vehicle operator of the distance the vehicle has
traveled. This gauge is controlled by the instrument
cluster electronic circuitry based upon cluster pro-
gramming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
over the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus. The odometer and trip odometer
information is displayed by the instrument cluster
Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD). The VFD will
only display odometer or trip odometer information
after the ignition switch is turned to the On or Start
positions, and will display the information in the
odometer or trip odometer mode based upon the
selection that was active when the ignition switch
was last turned to the Off position. The instrument
cluster circuitry controls the VFD and provides the
following features:
²Odometer/Trip Odometer Display Toggling-
Actuating the trip odometer reset switch button
momentarily with the ignition switch in the On posi-
tion will toggle the display between the odometer and
trip odometer information. Each time the ignition
switch is turned to the On or Start positions, the dis-
play will automatically return to the last mode
selected (odometer or trip odometer) before the igni-
tion switch was turned to the Off position.
²Trip Odometer Reset- When the trip odome-
ter reset switch button is depressed and held for
longer than about two seconds with the ignitions
switch in the On or Start positions, the trip odometer
will be reset to 000.0 kilometers (miles). The VFD
must be displaying the current trip odometer infor-
mation in order for the trip odometer information to
be reset.
²Communication Error- If the cluster fails to
receive a distance message during normal operation,
it will hold and display the last data received until
the ignition switch is turned to the Off position. If
the cluster does not receive a distance message
within one second after the ignition switch is turned
to the On position, it will display the last distance
message stored in the cluster memory. If it is deter-
mined that the distance information stored in the
cluster memory is corrupt, it will display ª------º in
the VFD. If the cluster is unable to display distance
information due to an error internal to the cluster,
the VFD display will be blank.²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the VFD will step sequen-
tially through a display of ª000000º through
ª999999º, then display the cluster software version
number to confirm the functionality of the VFD and
the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the vehicle speed
pulse information received from the vehicle speed
sensor, then sends the proper distance messages to
the instrument cluster. For further diagnosis of the
odometer/trip odometer or the instrument cluster cir-
cuitry that controls these functions, (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNO-
SIS AND TESTING). For proper diagnosis of the
vehicle speed sensor, the PCM, the PCI data bus, or
the electronic message inputs to the instrument clus-
ter that control the odometer/trip odometer, a
DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer to the appropri-
ate diagnostic information.
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
DESCRIPTION
An oil pressure gauge is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters. The oil pressure gauge is located
in the upper right corner of the instrument cluster, to
the right of the speedometer. The oil pressure gauge
consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer con-
trolled by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed
90 degree scale on the gauge dial face that reads left-
to-right from 0 kg/cm to 5.4 kg/cm (metric cluster
for gasoline engines), from 0 kg/cm to 8.3 kg/cm
(metric cluster for diesel engines), or from 0 psi to 80
psi (U.S. cluster), depending upon the market for
which the vehicle is manufactured. An International
Control and Display Symbol icon for ªEngine Oilº is
located on the gauge dial face.
The oil pressure gauge graphics are either white,
gray and orange against a black gauge dial face (base
cluster) or black and gray against a taupe gauge dial
face (premium cluster), making them clearly visible
within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illu-
minated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer
controlled cluster illumination lighting with the exte-
rior lamps turned On, the base cluster white gauge
graphics appear blue-green and the orange graphics
still appear orange, while the premium cluster taupe
gauge dial face appears blue-green with the black
graphics silhouetted against the illuminated back-
ground. The gray gauge graphics for both versions of
the cluster are not illuminated. The orange gauge
needle in the base cluster gauge is internally illumi-
nated, while the black gauge needle in the premium
cluster gauge is not.

tip of the tool is at least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from
the roof panel, disconnect the tool.
(11) Calibrate the compass and adjust the compass
variance (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD
CONSOLE - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
STANDARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS
CALIBRATION
CAUTION: Do not place any external magnets, such
as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the vicinity of
the compass. Do not use magnetic tools when ser-
vicing the overhead console.
The electronic compass unit features a self-cali-
brating design, which simplifies the calibration pro-
cedure. This feature automatically updates the
compass calibration while the vehicle is being driven.
This allows the compass unit to compensate for small
changes in the residual magnetism that the vehicle
may acquire during normal use. If the compass read-
ings appear to be erratic or out of calibration, per-
form the following calibration procedure. Also, new
service replacement Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) modules must have their compass cal-
ibrated using this procedure. Do not attempt to cali-
brate the compass near large metal objects such as
other vehicles, large buildings, or bridges; or, near
overhead or underground power lines.
NOTE: Whenever an EVIC module is replaced, the
variance number must also be reset. Refer to Com-
pass Variation Adjustment in this group.
Calibrate the compass manually as follows:
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. If
the compass/temperature data is not currently being
displayed, momentarily depress and release the C/T
push button to reach the compass/temperature dis-
play.
(2) Depress the Reset push button and hold the
button down until ªCALº appears in the display. This
takes about ten seconds, and appears about five sec-
onds after ªVARIANCE = XXº is displayed.
(3) Release the Reset push button.
(4) Drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from
large metal objects and power lines, through one
complete circle at between five and eight kilometers-
per-hour (three and five miles-per-hour) in not less
than 20 seconds. The ªCALº message will disappear
from the display to indicate that the compass is now
calibrated.
NOTE: If the ªCALº message remains in the display,
either there is excessive magnetism near the com-
pass, or the unit is faulty. Repeat the calibration
procedure one more time.NOTE: If the wrong direction is still indicated in the
compass display, the area selected for calibration
may be too close to a strong magnetic field. Repeat
the calibration procedure in another location.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS
VARIATION ADJUSTMENT
Compass variance, also known as magnetic decli-
nation, is the difference in angle between magnetic
north and true geographic north. In some geographic
locations, the difference between magnetic and geo-
graphic north is great enough to cause the compass
to give false readings. If this problem occurs, the
compass variance setting may need to be changed.
To set the compass variance:
(1) Using the Variance Settings map, find your
geographic location and note the zone number (Fig.
4).
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. If
the compass/temperature data is not currently being
displayed, momentarily depress and release the C/T
push button to reach the compass/temperature dis-
play.
(3) Depress the Reset push button and hold the
button down until ªVARIANCE = XXº appears in the
display. This takes about five seconds.
(4) Release the Reset push button. ªVARIANCE
=XX º will remain in the display. ªXXº equals the cur-
rent variance zone setting.
(5) Momentarily depress and release the Step push
button to step through the zone numbers, until the
zone number for your geographic location appears in
the display.
(6) Momentarily depress and release the Reset
push button to enter the displayed zone number into
the EVIC module memory.
(7) Confirm that the correct directions are now
indicated by the compass.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the screw that secures the front of the
overhead console to the front of the overhead console
retainer bracket.
(3) Insert the fingertips of both hands between the
headliner and the sides of the overhead console hous-
ing in the area near the reading and courtesy lamps.
(4) Pull downward on the sides of the overhead
console housing firmly and evenly to disengage the
two snap clips that secure the rear of the unit from
their receptacles in the overhead console retainer
bracket.
(5) Lower the overhead console from the headliner
far enough to access the wire harness connectors.
