POWER DISTRIBUTION
DESCRIPTION
This group covers the various standard and
optional power distribution components used on this
model. The power distribution system for this vehicle
consists of the following components:
²Power Distribution Center (PDC)
²Junction Block (JB)
²Power Outlets
The power distribution system also incorporates
various types of circuit control and protection fea-
tures, including:
²Automatic resetting circuit breakers
²Blade-type fuses
²Bus bars
²Cartridge fuses²Circuit splice blocks
²Flashers
²Fusible links
²Standard and Micro-Relays
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the power distribution system. See the
owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the features and use of all of the
power distribution system components. Refer to Wir-
ing Diagrams for complete circuit diagrams.
OPERATION
The power distribution system for this vehicle is
designed to provide safe, reliable, and centralized dis-
tribution points for the electrical current required to
operate all of the standard and optional factory-in-
stalled electrical and electronic powertrain, chassis,
safety, security, comfort and convenience systems. At
WJ8W-97 POWER DISTRIBUTION 8W - 97 - 1

of the preparation procedures performed just prior to
new vehicle delivery.
The PDC has a molded plastic cover that can be
removed to provide service access to all of the fuses
and relays in the PDC. An integral latch and hinges
are molded into the PDC cover for easy removal. A
fuse layout map is integral to the underside of the
PDC cover to ensure proper fuse and relay identifica-
tion. The IOD fuse is a 50 ampere maxi-type car-
tridge fuse and, when removed, it is stored in a spare
fuse cavity within the PDC.
OPERATION
The term ignition-off draw identifies a normal con-
dition where power is being drained from the battery
with the ignition switch in the Off position. The IOD
fuse feeds the memory and sleep mode functions for
some of the electronic modules in the vehicle as well
as various other accessories that require battery cur-
rent when the ignition switch is in the Off position,
including the clock. The only reason the IOD fuse is
removed is to reduce the normal IOD of the vehicle
electrical system during new vehicle transportation
and pre-delivery storage to reduce battery depletion,
while still allowing vehicle operation so that the
vehicle can be loaded, unloaded and moved as needed
by both vehicle transportation company and dealer
personnel.
The IOD fuse is removed from PDC fuse cavity 15
when the vehicle is shipped from the assembly plant.
Dealer personnel must install the IOD fuse when the
vehicle is being prepared for delivery in order to
restore full electrical system operation. Once the
vehicle is prepared for delivery, the IOD function of
this fuse becomes transparent and the fuse that has
been assigned the IOD designation becomes only
another Fused B(+) circuit fuse. The IOD fuse serves
no useful purpose to the dealer technician in the ser-
vice or diagnosis of any vehicle system or condition,
other than the same purpose as that of any other
standard circuit protection device.
The IOD fuse can be used by the vehicle owner as
a convenient means of reducing battery depletion
when a vehicle is to be stored for periods not toexceed about thirty days. However, it must be
remembered that removing the IOD fuse will not
eliminate IOD, but only reduce this normal condition.
If a vehicle will be stored for more than about thirty
days, the battery negative cable should be discon-
nected to eliminate normal IOD; and, the battery
should be tested and recharged at regular intervals
during the vehicle storage period to prevent the bat-
tery from becoming discharged or damaged. Refer to
Battery Systemfor additional service information.
REMOVAL
The Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuses normal installa-
tion location is cavity 15 in the power distribution
center. When the vehicle is shipped from the assem-
bly plant the fuse is removed to maintain proper bat-
tery voltage during vehicle storage (in some cases).
Dealer personnel must install the IOD fuse when the
vehicle is being prepared for customer delivery in
order to restore full electrical system operation.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
(2) Unlatch and open the cover of the power distri-
bution center.
(3) Remove the IOD fuse from fusecavity 15of
the power distribution center (Fig. 2).
(4) Store the removed IOD fuse by installing it in
the unused fuse storagecavity 11of the PDC (Fig.
2).
(5) Close and latch the power distribution center
cover.
INSTALLATION
(1) Be certain the ignition switch is in the Off posi-
tion.
(2) Unlatch and open the cover of the power distri-
bution center.
(3) Remove the stored IOD fuse from fuse storage
cavity 11of the power distribution center.
(4) Use a thumb to press the IOD fuse firmly down
into power distribution center fusecavity 15.
(5) Close and latch the power distribution center
cover.

JUNCTION BLOCK
DESCRIPTION
An electrical Junction Block (JB) is concealed
beneath the driver side of the instrument panel in
the passenger compartment of the vehicle (Fig. 3).
The JB combines the functions previously provided
by a separate fuseblock module and relay center. The
JB serves to simplify and centralize numerous elec-
trical components, as well as to distribute electrical
current to many of the accessory systems in the vehi-
cle. It also eliminates the need for numerous splice
connections. The JB houses up to thirty-three blade-
type mini fuses, up to two blade-type automatic
resetting circuit breakers, the electronic combination
flasher, the Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) module
(Canada only) and up to twelve International Stan-
dards Organization (ISO) relays (three standard-type
and nine micro-type). The JB also incorporates an
integral connector and mounting for the Body Con-
trol Module (BCM). The BCM is secured with four
screws directly to the dash panel side of the JB.
Refer toBody Control Modulein Electronic Con-
trol Modules for additional information covering the
BCM.
The molded plastic JB housing has integral mounts
that are secured with two screws and two snap
retainers to the instrument panel steering column
support bracket behind the instrument panel steer-ing column opening cover. The JB is concealed above
the molded plastic instrument panel fuse cover. Inte-
gral latches molded into the fuse cover secure it the
JB, the BCM and the 16-way data link connector tab
of the instrument panel steering column support
bracket. The fuse cover can be pulled downward to
disengage the latches and provide service access to
all of the fuses, relays and wire harness connectors of
the JB. The fuse cover has a fuse puller and spare
fuses secured to its upper surface. Refer toInstru-
ment Panel Fuse Coverin Body for additional ser-
vice information.
The JB unit cannot be repaired and is only ser-
viced as an assembly. If any internal circuit or the JB
housing is faulty or damaged, the entire JB unit
must be replaced. The BCM is available for separate
service replacement.
OPERATION
All of the circuits entering and leaving the Junc-
tion Block (JB) do so through up to five wire harness
connectors, which are connected to the JB through
integral connector receptacles molded into the JB
housing. Internal connection of all of the JB circuits
is accomplished by a printed circuit board. There are
also two separate wire harness connections to con-
nector receptacles that are integral to the BCM.
Refer toJunction Blockin Wiring Diagrams for
additional information and the location of complete
JB circuit diagrams.
REMOVAL
WARNING: DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM
BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL,
STEERING COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL
COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCON-
NECT AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE
(GROUND) CABLE, THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR
THE AIRBAG SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE
BEFORE PERFORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR
SERVICE. THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DIS-
ABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE
THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN
ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSI-
BLE PERSONAL INJURY.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the fuse cover from the bottom of the
Junction Block (JB).
(3) Remove the steering column opening cover
from the instrument panel. Refer toSteering Col-
umn Opening Coverin Body for the location of
steering column opening cover removal procedures.
