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.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - PCM/SKIM
PROGRAMMING
NOTE: Before replacing the PCM, be sure to check
the related component/circuit integrity for failures
not detected due to a double fault in the circuit.
Most PCM failures are caused by internal compo-
nent failures (i.e. relays and solenoids) and shorted
circuits (i.e. pull-ups, drivers, and switched cir-
cuits). These failures are difficult to detect when a
double fault has occurred and only one DTC has
been set.When a PCM (JTEC) and the SKIM are replaced
at the same time, perform the following steps in
order:
(1) Program the new PCM (JTEC).
(2) Program the new SKIM.
(3) Replace all ignition keys and program them to
the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING THE PCM (JTEC)
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique
to each SKIM. This code is programmed and stored
in the SKIM, the PCM, and the ignition key tran-
sponder chip(s). When replacing the PCM, it is nec-
essary to program the secret key into the new PCM
using the DRBIIItscan tool. Perform the following
steps to program the secret key into the PCM.
WJELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES 8E - 1

BCM programming then performs those tasks and
provides features through both PCI data bus commu-
nication with other electronic modules and hard
wired outputs to a number of relays. These relays
provide the BCM with the ability to control numer-
ous high current accessory systems in the vehicle.
The BCM circuitry operates on battery current
received through fuses in the Junction Block (JB) on a
non-switched fused B(+) circuit, a fused ignition switch
output (start-run) circuit, and a fused ignition switch
output (run-accessory) circuit. This arrangement allows
the BCM to provide some features regardless of the
ignition switch position. The BCM circuitry is grounded
through the chassis beneath the center console.
The BCM monitors its own internal circuitry as
well as many of its input and output circuits, and
will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in elec-
tronic memory for any failure it detects. These DTCs
can be retrieved and diagnosed using a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
HARD WIRED INPUTS
The hard wired inputs to the BCM include the fol-
lowing:
²A/C switch signal
²Ambient temperature sensor signal
²Body control module flash enable
²Coolant level switch sense
²Door ajar switch sense (two circuits - one left
rear, and one right rear)
²Driver seat heater switch mux
²Fog lamp switch sense

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BODY CONTROL
MODULE
The hard wired inputs to and outputs from the
Body Control Module (BCM) may be diagnosed and
tested using conventional diagnostic tools and proce-
dures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
Conventional diagnostic methods may not prove
conclusive in the diagnosis of the BCM. In order to
obtain conclusive testing of the BCM, the Program-
mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus net-
work and all of the electronic modules that provide

inputs to or receive outputs from the BCM must also
be checked. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the BCM, the PCI data bus net-
work, and the electronic modules that provide inputs
to or receive outputs from the BCM requires the use
of a DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diagnostic
information. The DRBIIItscan tool can provide con-
firmation that the PCI data bus network is func-
tional, that all of the modules are sending and
receiving the proper messages over the PCI data bus,
and that the BCM is receiving the proper hard wired
inputs and responding with the proper hard wired
outputs needed to perform its many functions.

The hard wired inputs to and outputs from the
Driver Door Module (DDM) or the Passenger Door
Module (PDM) may be diagnosed and tested using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. It is
suggested that the proper operation of the inopera-
tive power window motor, power door lock motor,
power liftgate lock motor, power mirror motors, or
heated mirror grid be confirmed using jumper wires
to bypass the door module. If the inoperative compo-
nent operates when the door module is bypassed,
check the circuits between the component and the
door module, as well as the fused B(+) and ground
circuits of the door module for shorts or opens.
These conventional diagnostic methods may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the DDM or the
PDM. In order to obtain conclusive testing of these
modules, the Programmable Communications Inter-
face (PCI) data bus network and all of the modules
that provide inputs to or receive outputs from the
door modules must also be checked. The most reli-
able, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the
DDM, the PDM, the PCI data bus network, and the
modules that provide inputs to or receive outputs
from the door modules requires the use of a DRBIIIt
scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic information.

MEMORY HEATED SEAT/
MIRROR MODULE
DESCRIPTION
There are two different modules that can be used
in the optional heated seat system. The Heated Seat
Module (HSM) is used on vehicles that are not
equipped with the optional Memory System. The
Memory Heated Seat Module (MHSM) is used on
vehicles that are equipped with the optional Memory
System and the optional heated seat system.Refer to
Memory Systemin Power Seat Systems for more
information on the memory system option.
The module is mounted on a bracket that is located
between the power seat track and the seat cushion
frame (Fig. 9). The HSM or MHSM is used to control
the heated seat system functions for both front seats.
The HSM or MHSM contains a central processing
unit that communicates with other modules on the
