Add coolant to radiator to bring level to within 6.3
mm (1/4 in) of top of thermostat housing.
CAUTION: Avoid overheating. Do not operate
engine for an excessive period of time. Open drain-
cock immediately after test to eliminate boil over.
Start engine and accelerate rapidly three times, to
approximately 3000 rpm while observing coolant. If
internal engine combustion gases are leaking into
cooling system, bubbles will appear in coolant. If bub-
bles do not appear, internal combustion gas leakage
is not present.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COOLING SYSTEM
DEAERATION
As the engine operates, any air trapped in cooling
system gathers under the radiator cap. The next time
the engine is operated, thermal expansion of coolant
will push any trapped air past radiator cap into the
coolant reserve/overflow tank. Here it escapes to the
atmosphere into the tank. When the engine cools
down the coolant, it will be drawn from the reserve/
overflow tank into the radiator to replace any
removed air.

COOLING SYSTEM 4.7L ENGINE
(1) Tighten the radiator draincock and the cylinder
block drain plug(s) (if removed).
CAUTION: Failure to purge air from the cooling sys-
tem can result in an overheating condition and
severe engine damage.
(2) Remove the cooling system bleed plug from the
radiator upper hose inlet housing. (Fig. 8)Fill system
using a 50/50 mixture of ethylene-glycol antifreeze
and low mineral content water, until coolant begains
coming out of the cooling system bleed hole. Install
the cooling system bleed plug. Fill radiator to top and
install radiator cap. Add sufficient coolant to the
reserve/overflow tank to raise level to FULL mark.
(3) With heater control unit in the HEAT position,
operate engine with radiator cap in place.
(4) After engine has reached normal operating
temperature, shut engine off and allow it to cool.
When engine is cooling down, coolant will be drawn
into the radiator from the reserve/overflow tank.
(5) Add coolant to reserve/overflow tank as neces-
sary.Only add coolant to the reserve/overflow
tank when the engine is cold. Coolant level in a
warm engine will be higher due to thermal
expansion.To purge the cooling system of all air,
this heat up/cool down cycle (adding coolant to cold
engine) must be performed three times. Add neces-
sary coolant to raise tank level to the FULL mark
after each cool down period.

INSPECTION
The radiator cooling fins should be checked for
damage or deterioration. Inspect cooling fins to make
sure they are not bent or crushed, these areas result
in reduced heat exchange causing the cooling system
to operate at higher temperatures. Inspect the plastic
end tanks for cracks, damage or leaks.
Inspect the radiator neck for damage or distortion.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Before installing the radiator or A/C con-
denser, be sure the radiator-to-body and radiator-to-
A/C condenser rubber air seals (Fig. 39) are
properly fastened to their original positions. These
are used at the top, bottom and sides of the radia-
tor and A/C condenser. To prevent overheating,
these seals must be installed to their original posi-
tions.
(1) Equipped with air conditioning: Gently lower
the radiator into the vehicle. Guide the two radiator
alignment dowels through the holes in the rubber air
seals first and then through the A/C support brackets
(Fig. 40). Continue to guide the alignment dowels
into the rubber grommets located in lower radiator
crossmember. The holes in the L-shaped brackets
(located on bottom of A/C condenser) must be posi-
tioned between bottom of rubber air seals and top of
rubber grommets.
(2) Connect the radiator upper and lower hoses
and hose clamps to radiator (Fig. 41).
CAUTION: The tangs on the hose clamps must be
positioned straight down.
(3) Install coolant reserve/overflow tank hose at
radiator (Fig. 41).
(4) Connect both transmission cooler lines at the
radiator (Fig. 41).
(5) Install both radiator mounting bolts (Fig. 41).
(6) Install air inlet duct at grill.

WATER PUMP - 4.7L
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTIONÐWATER PUMP
A centrifugal water pump circulates coolant
through the water jackets, passages, intake manifold,
radiator core, cooling system hoses and heater core.
The pump is driven from the engine crankshaft by a
single serpentine drive belt.
The water pump impeller is pressed onto the rear
of a shaft that rotates in bearings pressed into the
housing. The housing has two small holes to allow
seepage to escape. The water pump seals are lubri-
cated by the antifreeze in the coolant mixture. No
additional lubrication is necessary.
Both heater hoses are connected to fittings on the
timing chain front cover. The water pump is also
mounted directly to the timing chain cover and is
equipped with a non serviceable integral pulley (Fig.
42).
DESCRIPTIONÐWATER PUMP BYPASS
The 4.7L engine uses an internal water/coolant
bypass system. The design uses galleries in the tim-
ing chain cover to circulate coolant during engine
warm-up preventing the coolant from flowing
through the radiator. The thermostat uses a stub
shaft located at the rear of the thermostat (Fig. 43)
to control flow through the bypass gallery.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - HANDLING
NON-DEPLOYED SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINTS
At no time should any source of electricity be per-
mitted near the inflator on the back of a non-de-
ployed airbag. When carrying a non-deployed airbag,
the trim cover or airbag cushion side of the unit
should be pointed away from the body to minimize
injury in the event of an accidental deployment. If
the airbag unit is placed on a bench or any other sur-
face, the trim cover or airbag cushion side of the unit
should be face up to minimize movement in the event
of an accidental deployment. In addition, the supple-
mental restraint system should be disarmed when-
ever any steering wheel, steering column, driver
airbag, passenger airbag, front impact sensor, side
impact sensor, side curtain airbag, or instrument
panel components require diagnosis or service. Fail-
ure to observe this warning could result in accidental
airbag deployment and possible personal injury.
All damaged, faulty or non-deployed airbags which
are replaced on vehicles are to be handled and dis-
posed of properly. If an airbag unit is faulty or dam-
aged and non-deployed, refer to the Hazardous
Substance Control System for proper disposal. Dis-
pose of all non-deployed and deployed airbags in a
manner consistent with state, provincial, local and
federal regulations.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT STORAGE
Airbags must be stored in their original, special
container until they are used for service. Also, they
must be stored in a clean, dry environment; away
from sources of extreme heat, sparks, and high elec-
trical energy. Always place or store any airbag on a
surface with its trim cover or airbag cushion side fac-ing up, to minimize movement in case of an acciden-
tal deployment.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - SERVICE AFTER A
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT DEPLOYMENT
Any vehicle which is to be returned to use follow-
ing a supplemental restraint deployment, must have
the deployed restraints replaced. In addition, if the
driver airbag has been deployed, the clockspring
must be replaced. If the passenger airbag is
deployed, the instrument panel top pad must be
replaced. If a side curtain airbag has been deployed,
the complete airbag unit, the headliner, as well as
the upper A, B, C and D-pillar trim must be replaced.
These components are not intended for reuse and
will be damaged or weakened as a result of a supple-
mental restraint deployment, which may or may not
be obvious during a visual inspection.
The passenger airbag mounting points on the
instrument panel structural duct must be closely
inspected for damage, and the instrument panel
assembly replaced if structural duct damage is evi-
dent. On vehicles with an optional sunroof, the sun-
roof drain tubes and hoses must be closely inspected
following a side curtain airbag deployment. It is also
critical that the mounting surfaces and/or mounting
brackets for the front and side impact sensors be
closely inspected and restored to their original condi-
tions following any vehicle impact damage. Because
the ACM and each impact sensor are used by the
supplemental restraint system to monitor or confirm
the direction and severity of a vehicle impact,
improper orientation or insecure fastening of these
components may cause airbags not to deploy when
required, or to deploy when not required.
All other vehicle components should be closely
inspected following any supplemental restraint
deployment, but are to be replaced only as required
by the extent of the visible damage incurred.
AIRBAG SQUIB STATUS
Multistage airbags with multiple initiators (squibs)
must be checked to determine that all squibs were
used during the deployment event. The driver and
passenger airbags in this model are deployed by elec-
trical signals generated by the Airbag Control Mod-
ule (ACM) through the driver or passenger squib 1
and squib 2 circuits to the two initiators in the air-
bag inflators. Typically, both initiators are used and
all potentially hazardous chemicals are burned dur-
ing an airbag deployment event. However, it is possi-
ble for only one initiator to be used due to an airbag
system fault; therefore, it is always necessary to con-
firm that both initiators have been used in order to
avoid the improper handling or disposal of poten-
tially live pyrotechnic or hazardous materials. The

PASSENGER AIRBAG
DESCRIPTION
The rearward facing surface of the instrument
panel top pad above the glove box is the most visible
part of the passenger airbag (Fig. 31). The passenger
airbag is located above the glove box opening in front
of the front seat passenger seating position within
the instrument panel. The stamped steel passenger
airbag door is secured on the back of the instrument
panel top pad armature between the two passenger
side panel outlets. A stamped metal reinforcement is
secured to the instrument panel top pad armature
near the upper edge of the passenger airbag door
opening, and helps to define a predetermined hinge
line beneath the decorative cover of the top pad. The
instrument panel passenger side bezel is secured to
the airbag door from behind with four screws.
Located behind the passenger airbag door within
the instrument panel is the passenger airbag unit.
The passenger airbag unit used in this model is a
multistage, Next Generation-type that complies with
revised federal airbag standards to deploy with less
force than those used in some prior models. The pas-
senger airbag unit consists of an extruded aluminum
housing, a molded plastic inner airbag cushion dust
cover, the airbag cushion, and the airbag inflator.
The airbag housing contains the airbag inflator,
while the inner dust cover contains the folded airbag
cushion. The dust cover completely encloses the air-
bag cushion and is permanently retained to the hous-
ing. The passenger airbag unit is secured with four
screws to the instrument panel structural duct. Con-cealed beneath the instrument panel top pad are the
passenger airbag door, the folded airbag cushion, the
airbag retainer or housing, and the airbag inflator.
The airbag cushion is constructed of a coated nylon
fabric. The airbag inflator is a dual-initiator, hybrid-
type unit that is secured to and sealed within the air-
bag housing. A short four-wire pigtail harness with a
keyed, yellow connector insulator connects the two
inflator initiators to the vehicle electrical system
through a dedicated take out and connector of the
instrument panel wire harness.
The passenger airbag cannot be repaired, and must
be replaced if deployed, faulty, or in any way dam-
aged. The passenger airbag cannot be repaired, and
must be replaced if faulty or in any way damaged.
The passenger airbag door is serviced only as a unit
with the instrument panel top pad. Following a pas-
senger airbag deployment, the passenger airbag and
the instrument panel top pad must be replaced. If
inspection reveals that the passenger airbag mount-
ing points on the instrument panel structural duct
have been cracked or damaged, the instrument panel
structural duct assembly must also be replaced.
OPERATION
The multistage passenger airbag is deployed by
electrical signals generated by the Airbag Control
Module (ACM) through the passenger airbag squib 1
and squib 2 circuits to the two initiators in the air-
bag inflator. By using two initiators, the airbag can
be deployed at multiple levels of force. The force level
is controlled by the ACM to suit the monitored
impact conditions by providing one of four delay
intervals between the electrical signals provided to
the two initiators. The longer the delay between
these signals, the less forcefully the airbag will
deploy.
The hybrid-type inflator assembly includes a small
canister of highly compressed gas. When the ACM
sends the proper electrical signal to the airbag infla-
tor, the initiator generates enough heat to ignite
chemical pellets within the inflator. Once ignited,
these chemical pellets burn rapidly and produce the
pressure necessary to rupture a containment disk in
the pressurized gas canister. The inflator and gas
canister are sealed to the airbag cushion so that all
of the released inert gas is directed into the airbag
cushion, causing the cushion to inflate. As the cush-
ion inflates, the passenger airbag door will bend back
the instrument panel top pad at the predetermined
hinge line, then fold back over the top of the instru-
ment panel and out of the way. Following an airbag
deployment, the airbag cushion quickly deflates by
venting the inert gas through vent holes within the
fabric used to construct the sides of the airbag cush-
ion.

FRONT WIPER MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The front wiper module is secured with four screws
through rubber isolators to the cowl plenum panel
beneath the cowl plenum cover/grille panel (Fig. 11).
The ends of the wiper pivot shafts that protrude
through dedicated openings in the cowl plenum cov-
er/grille panel to drive the wiper arms and blades are
the only visible components of the front wiper mod-
ule. The front wiper module consists of the following
major components:
²Bracket- The front wiper module bracket con-
sists of a long tubular steel main member that has a
stamped pivot bracket formation near each end
where the two wiper pivots are secured. A stamped
steel mounting plate for the wiper motor is secured
with welds near the center of the main member.
²Crank Arm- The front wiper motor crank arm
is a stamped steel unit with a slotted hole on the
driven end that is secured to the wiper motor outputshaft with a nut, and a ball stud secured to the drive
end.
²Linkage- Two stamped steel drive links con-
nect the wiper motor crank arm to the pivot lever
arms. The passenger side drive link has a plastic
socket-type bushing on each end. The driver side
drive link has a plastic socket-type bushing on one
end, and a plastic sleeve-type bushing on the other
end. The socket-type bushing on one end of each
drive link is snap-fit over the ball stud on the lever
arm of its respective pivot. The driver side drive link
sleeve-type bushing end is then fit over the motor
crank arm ball stud, and the other socket-type bush-
ing of the passenger side drive link is snap-fit over
the exposed end of the wiper motor crank arm ball
stud.
²Motor- The front wiper motor is secured with
three screws to the motor mounting plate near the
center of the wiper module bracket. The wiper motor
output shaft passes through a hole in the module
bracket, where a nut secures the wiper motor crank
arm to the motor output shaft. The two-speed perma-
nent magnet wiper motor features an integral trans-
mission, an internal park switch, and an internal
automatic resetting circuit breaker.
²Pivots- The two front wiper pivots are secured
to the ends of the wiper module bracket. The crank
arms that extend from the bottom of the pivot shafts
each have a ball stud on their end. The upper end of
each pivot shaft where the wiper arms will be fas-
tened each has an externally serrated drum with a
threaded stud secured to it.
The front wiper module cannot be adjusted or
repaired. If any component of the module is faulty or
damaged, the entire front wiper module unit must be
replaced. The reinforcement bracket and stud plate
are available for service replacement.OPERATION
The front wiper module operation is controlled by
the battery current inputs received by the wiper
motor from the wiper on/off and wiper high/low
relays. The wiper motor speed is controlled by cur-
rent flow to either the low speed or the high speed
set of brushes. The park switch is a single pole, sin-
gle throw, momentary switch within the wiper motor
that is mechanically actuated by the wiper motor
transmission components. The park switch alter-
nately closes the wiper park switch sense circuit to
ground or to battery current, depending upon the
position of the wipers on the glass. This feature
allows the motor to complete its current wipe cycle
after the wiper system has been turned Off, and to
park the wiper blades in the lowest portion of the
wipe pattern. The automatic resetting circuit breaker
protects the motor from overloads. The wiper motor

RAIN SENSOR MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Rain Sensor Module (RSM) is the primary
component of the automatic wiper system (Fig. 14).
The RSM is located on the inside of the windshield,
between the rear view mirror mounting button and
the windshield header and is concealed behind a
molded plastic trim cover that snaps over the modulehousing. The triangular-shaped molded black plastic
housing of the RSM has a rectangular opening
located on the upper end of the housing for the mod-
ule connector receptacle, which contains four termi-
nal pins. These terminal pins connect the rain sensor
to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the overhead wire harness
that extends from above the headliner. Five openings
on the windshield side of the RSM housing are fitted
with eight convex clear plastic lenses. A metal spring
clip on each side of the housing near the bottom
secures the RSM to a plastic mounting bracket that
is bonded to the windshield glass. Concealed within
the RSM housing is the electronic circuitry of the
module, which includes four InfraRed (IR) diodes,
two photocells, and a microprocessor.
The RSM software is Flash compatible, which
means it can be reprogrammed using Flash repro-
gramming procedures. However, if any of the hard-
ware of the RSM is damaged or faulty, the entire
module must be replaced. The RSM bracket is ser-
viced as a unit with the windshield glass. If the
bracket is faulty, damaged, or separated from the
windshield glass, the windshield unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The microprocessor-based Rain Sensor Module
(RSM) senses moisture in the wipe pattern on the
outside of the windshield glass and sends wipe com-
mands to the Body Control Module (BCM). Four
InfraRed (IR) diodes within the RSM generate IR
light beams that are aimed by four of the convex
optical lenses near the base of the module through
the windshield glass. Four additional convex optical
lenses near the top of the RSM are focused on the IR
light beams on the outside of the windshield glass
and allow the two photocells within the module to
sense changes in the intensity of these IR light
beams. When sufficient moisture accumulates within
the wipe pattern of the windshield glass, the RSM
detects a change in the monitored IR light beam
intensity.
The internal programming of the RSM then sends
the appropriate electronic wipe command messages
to the BCM over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus. The BCM responds by acti-
vating or deactivating the front wiper system. The
BCM also sends electronic sensitivity level messages
to the RSM over the PCI data bus based upon the
driver-selected sensitivity setting of the control knob
on the control stalk of the right (wiper) multi-func-
tion switch. The higher the selected sensitivity set-
ting the more sensitive the RSM is to the
accumulated moisture on the windshield glass, and

VALVE TIMING
DESCRIPTION - TIMING DRIVE SYSTEM
The timing drive system has been designed to pro-
vide quiet performance and reliability to support a
non-free wheelingengine. Specifically the intake
valves are non-free wheeling and can be easily dam-
aged with forceful engine rotation if camshaft-to-
crankshaft timing is incorrect. The timing drive
system consists of a primary chain and two second-
ary timing chain drives (Fig. 109).
OPERATION - TIMING DRIVE SYSTEM
The primary timing chain is a single inverted tooth
type. The primary chain drives the large fifty tooth
idler sprocket directly from a 25 tooth crankshaftsprocket. Primary chain motion is controlled by a
pivoting leaf spring tensioner arm and a fixed guide.
The arm and the guide both use nylon plastic wear
faces for low friction and long wear. The primary
chain receives oil splash lubrication from the second-
ary chain drive and oil pump leakage. The idler
sprocket assembly connects the primary and second-
ary chain drives. The idler sprocket assembly con-
sists of two integral thirty tooth sprockets and a fifty
tooth sprocket that is splined to the assembly. The
spline joint is a non ± serviceable press fit anti rattle
type. A spiral ring is installed on the outboard side of
the fifty tooth sprocket to prevent spline disengage-
ment. The idler sprocket assembly spins on a station-
ary idler shaft. The idler shaft is press-fit into the
cylinder block. A large washer on the idler shaft bolt
and the rear flange of the idler shaft are used to con-
trol sprocket thrust movement. Pressurized oil is
routed through the center of the idler shaft to pro-
vide lubrication for the two bushings used in the
idler sprocket assembly.
There are two secondary drive chains, both are
inverted tooth type, one to drive the camshaft in each
SOHC cylinder head. There are no shaft speed
changes in the secondary chain drive system. Each
secondary chain drives a thirty tooth cam sprocket
directly from the thirty tooth sprocket on the idler
sprocket assembly. A fixed chain guide and a hydrau-
lic oil damped tensioner are used to maintain tension
in each secondary chain system. The hydraulic ten-
sioners for the secondary chain systems are fed pres-
surized oil from oil reservoir pockets in the block.
Each tensioner also has a mechanical ratchet system
that limits chain slack if the tensioner piston bleeds
down after engine shut down. The tensioner arms
and guides also utilize nylon wear faces for low fric-
tion and long wear. The secondary timing chains
receive lubrication from a small orifice in the ten-
sioners. This orifice is protected from clogging by a
fine mesh screen which is located on the back of the
hydraulic tensioners.
