data bus messages are being received for initial oper-
ation. Initiate the self-diagnostic test as follows:
(1) With the ignition switch in the Off position,
simultaneously depress and hold the C/T button and
the Reset button.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
(3) Continue to hold both buttons depressed until
the EVIC software version information is displayed,
then release both buttons.
(4) Following completion of these tests, the EVIC
module will display one of the following messages:
a.Pass Self Test- Momentarily depress and
release the Reset button to return to the compass/
temperature/trip computer display mode. The EVIC
module is working properly.
b.Failed Self Test- The EVIC module has an
internal failure. The EVIC module is faulty and must
be replaced.
c.Not Receiving J1850 Message- The EVIC
module is not receiving proper message input
through the PCI data bus. This can result from one
or more faulty electronic modules in the vehicle, or
from a faulty PCI data bus. The use of a DRB scan
tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual
are required for further diagnosis.
NOTE: If the compass functions, but accuracy is
suspect, it may be necessary to perform a variation
adjustment. This procedure allows the compass
unit to accommodate variations in the earth's mag-
netic field strength, based on geographic location.
Refer to Compass Variation Adjustment in the Stan-
dard Procedures section of this group.
NOTE: If the compass reading displays a blank, and
only ªCALº appears in the display, demagnetizing
may be necessary to remove excessive residual
magnetic fields from the vehicle. Refer to Compass
Demagnetizing in the Standard Procedures section
of this group.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TIRE PRESSURE
SYSTEM TEST
The following test can be used to verify two func-
tions. One, that the tire pressure sensors are trans-
mitting properly and two, the EVIC module is
receiving these transmissions accordingly.
(1) Retrain the tire sensors (Refer to 22 - TIRES/
WHEELS/TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING/SEN-
SOR - STANDARD PROCEDURE). The tire sensors
must be retrained in order to set the proper trans-
mitting time cycle (twice a minute), failure to retrain
the sensors will cause a much slower transmitting
time cycle (once a hour).(2) Using the STEP button on the overhead con-
sole, scroll to the blank display, then press the
RESET button for five seconds, a beep will sound
indicating the start of this test. The vehicle icon and
transmission counters will now be displayed, (same
display as individual tire pressure except counters
replace tire pressure values).
(3) Upon entering the test mode, the EVIC will
clear the sensor counter and each time a sensor sig-
nal for a road tire is received, the EVIC will update
the counter value (vehicle must be driven at 25 mph
to transmit). The counter values should all read the
same value. If any of the road tires indicate a differ-
ent value than another tire sensor, this is a sign of a
problem. Replace the appropriate tire sensor and
retest the system. This test will continue until any of
the overhead console buttons are pressed or the igni-
tion is turned off.
NOTE: Pressing the RESET button during the test
will sound a beep and reset all the counter values
back to zero.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the overhead console from the head-
liner (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CON-
SOLE - REMOVAL).
(3) Remove the four screws that secure the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) module to
the overhead console housing (Fig. 5).
(4) Remove the EVIC module from the overhead
console housing.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the EVIC module onto the overhead
console housing.
(2) Install and tighten the four screws that secure
the EVIC module to the overhead console housing.
Tighten the screws to 0.9 N´m (8 in. lbs.).
(3) Install the overhead console onto the headliner
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE -
INSTALLATION).
(4) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
NOTE: If a new EVIC module has been installed, the
compass will have to be calibrated and the variance
set. Refer to Compass Variation Adjustment and
Compass Calibration in the Service Procedures sec-
tion of this group for the procedures.

ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER (Continued)

AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Ambient air temperature is monitored by the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) through
ambient temperature messages received from the
Body Control Module (BCM) over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network.
The BCM receives a hard wired input from the ambi-
ent temperature sensor. The ambient temperature
sensor is a variable resistor mounted to a bracket
that is secured with a screw to the right side of the
headlamp mounting module grille opening, behind
the radiator grille and in front of the engine compart-
ment.
Refer toBody Control Modulein Electronic Con-
trol Modules. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The ambient
temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable
resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent to it by the BCM. The resistance in the sensor
changes as temperature changes, changing the tem-
perature sensor signal circuit voltage to the BCM.
Based upon the resistance in the sensor, the BCM
senses a specific voltage on the temperature sensor
signal circuit, which it is programmed to correspond
to a specific temperature. The BCM then sends the
proper ambient temperature messages to the EVIC
over the PCI data bus.
The temperature function is supported by the
ambient temperature sensor, a wiring circuit, the
Body Control Module (BCM), the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus, and a por-
tion of the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) module. If any portion of the ambient temper-
ature sensor circuit fails, the BCM will self-diagnose
the circuit. A temperature reading of 130É F will
appear in the EVIC display in place of the tempera-
ture when the sensor circuit is shorted. A tempera-
ture reading of ±40É F will appear in the EVIC
display in place of the temperature when the sensor
circuit is open.
The ambient temperature sensor circuit can also be
diagnosed by referring toDiagnosis and Testing -
Ambient Temperature Sensor, and Diagnosis
and Testing - Ambient Temperature Sensor Cir-
cuit. If the temperature sensor and circuit are con-
firmed to be OK, but the temperature display is
inoperative or incorrect, refer toDiagnosis and
Testing - Electronic Vehicle Information Center
in this group. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to
the appropriate wiring information.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor wire har-
ness connector.
(2) Measure the resistance of the ambient temper-
ature sensor. At ±40É C (±40É F), the sensor resis-
tance is 336.6 kilohms. At 60É C (140É F), the sensor
resistance is 2.49 kilohms. The sensor resistance
should read between these two values. If OK, refer to

LUMBAR CONTROL SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The ten-way power seat option includes an electri-
cally operated lumbar support mechanism. A single
two-way momentary power lumbar switch is located
on the outboard seat cushion side shield of each front
seat, just forward of the other power seat switches
(Fig. 8). The power lumbar switch is secured to the
back of the seat cushion side shield with two screws,
and the switch paddle protrudes through a hole to
the outside of the shield. The switch paddle is located
in a shallow depression molded into the outer surface
of the seat cushion side shield that helps to shroud it
from unintentional actuation when entering or leav-
ing the vehicle.
The power lumbar switches cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced.
OPERATION
When the power lumbar switch paddle is actuated,
a battery feed and a ground path are applied through
the switch contacts to the power lumbar adjuster
motor. The motor operates to move the lumbar
adjuster through its drive unit in the selected direc-
tion until the switch is released, or until the travel
limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is
moved in the opposite direction, the battery feed and
ground path to the motor are reversed through the
switch contacts. This causes the motor to run in the
opposite direction.
The power lumbar switch should not be held
applied in either direction after the adjuster hasreached its travel limit. The power lumbar adjuster
motor contains a self-resetting circuit breaker to pro-
tect it from overload. However, consecutive or fre-
quent resetting of the circuit breaker must not be
allowed to continue, or the motor may be damaged.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER LUMBAR

LUMBAR MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The ten-way power seat option includes an electri-
cally operated lumbar support mechanism. The only
visible evidence of this option is the separate power
lumbar switch control paddle that is located on the
outboard seat cushion side shield, just forward of the
other power seat switch control knobs. The power
lumbar adjuster and motor are concealed beneath the
seat back trim cover and padding, where they are
secured to a molded plastic back panel and to the
seat back frame (Fig. 11).
The power lumbar adjuster cannot be repaired, and
is serviced only as a unit with the seat back frame. If
the power lumbar adjuster or the seat back frame
are damaged or faulty, the entire seat back frame
unit must be replaced.

OPERATION
The power lumbar adjuster mechanism includes a
reversible electric motor that is secured to the
inboard side of the seat back panel and is connected
to a worm-drive gearbox. The motor and gearbox
operate the lumbar adjuster mechanism in the center
of the seat back by extending and retracting a cable
that actuates a lever. The action of this lever com-
presses or relaxes a grid of flexible slats. The more
this grid is compressed, the more the slats bow out-
ward against the center of the seat back padding,
providing additional lumbar support.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER LUMBAR
ADJUSTER
Actuate the power lumbar switch to move the
power lumbar adjuster in each direction. The power
lumbar adjuster should move in both directions. It
should be noted that the power lumber adjuster nor-
mally operates very quietly and exhibits little visible
movement. If the power lumbar adjuster fails to oper-
ate in only one direction, move the adjuster a short
distance in the opposite direction and test again to be
certain that the adjuster is not at its travel limit. If
the power lumbar adjuster still fails to operate in
only one direction, refer toDiagnosis and Testing
Power Lumbar Switchin this group. If the power
lumbar adjuster fails to operate in either direction,
perform the following tests. For complete circuit dia-
grams, refer toWiring Diagrams.
(1) Check the power seat circuit breaker in the
junction block. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, replace
the faulty power seat circuit breaker.
(2) Check for battery voltage at the power seat cir-
cuit breaker in the junction block. If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the
fuse in the Power Distribution Center as required.
(3) Remove the outboard seat cushion side shield
from the seat. Disconnect the seat wire harness con-
nector from the power lumbar switch connector
receptacle. Check for battery voltage at the fused
B(+) circuit cavity of the power seat wire harness
connector for the power lumbar switch. If OK, go to
Step 4. If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit
to the power seat circuit breaker in the junction
block as required.
(4) Check for continuity between the ground cir-
cuit cavity of the power seat wire harness connector
for the power lumbar switch and a good ground.
There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 5. If not
OK, repair the open ground circuit to ground as
required.
(5) Test the power lumbar switch. Refer toDiag-
nosis and Testing Power Lumbar Switchin this
group. If the switch tests OK, test the circuits of the
power seat wire harness between the power lumbaradjuster motor and the power lumbar switch for
shorts or opens. If the circuits check OK, replace the
faulty seat back frame assembly. If the circuits are
not OK, repair the power seat wire harness as
required.
MEMORY SET SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the memory system have a
memory switch mounted to the driver side front door
trim panel (Fig. 12). This switch is used to set and
recall all of the memory system settings for up to two
drivers. The memory switch is a resistor multiplexed
unit that is hard wired to the Driver Door Module
(DDM), which is also located on the driver side front
door trim panel. The DDM sends out the memory
system set and recall requests to the other electronic
modules over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus.
The memory switch cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. For
complete circuit diagrams, refer toWiring Diagrams
.
OPERATION
The memory switch has three momentary switch
buttons labeled Set, 1 and 2. The Driver 1 and Driver
2 buttons are back-lit with Light-Emitting Diodes
