ever occurs first. The overspeed warning feature is
only enabled on a BCM that has been programmed
with a Middle East Gulf Coast Country (GCC) coun-
try code.
²No Airbag Indicator Message Warning- The
EMIC chime tone generator will generate one, short,
ªbong-likeº chime tone and turn on the ªAirbagº indi-
cator when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and a PCI data bus ªAirbagº indicator on or off mes-
sage is not received from the ACM for six consecutive
seconds.
²No Antilock Brake Indicator Message Warn-
ing- The EMIC chime tone generator will generate
one, short, ªbong-likeº chime tone and turn on the
ªABSº indicator when the ignition switch is in the On
position, and a PCI data bus ªABSº indicator on or
off message is not received from the CAB for six con-
secutive seconds.
²No Fuel Level Message Warning- The EMIC
chime tone generator will generate one, short, ªbong-
likeº chime tone and turn on the ªLow Fuelº indica-
tor when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and a PCI data bus fuel level message is not received
from the PCM for twelve consecutive seconds.
²Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Pro-
gramming- On vehicles so equipped, the EMIC
chime tone generator will generate a single ªbong-
likeº chime tone when an electronic message is
received over the PCI data bus from the BCM indi-
cating that a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter has been successfully programmed by the
customer into the RKE module memory.
²Sentry Key Immobilizer System Transpon-
der Programming- On vehicles so equipped, the
EMIC chime tone generator will generate a single
ªbong-likeº chime tone when an electronic message is
received over PCI data bus message from the Sentry
Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) indicating that the
Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) has been
placed in the ªCustomer Learnº programming mode,
and again each time a new SKIS transponder has
been successfully programmed by the customer.
²Turn Signal Cancel Warning- The EMIC
chime tone generator will generate repetitive ªbong-
likeº chime tones at a slow rate when the vehicle is
driven for a distance of about 3.2 kilometers (about
two miles) with a turn signal indicator flashing. The
EMIC uses an electronic message received over the
PCI data bus from the PCM, and a hard wired input
from the turn signal switch circuitry of the multi-
function switch to determine when to sound the turn
signal cancel warning. The PCM uses internal pro-
gramming and distance pulse information received
over a hard wired vehicle speed pulse input from the
BCM to determine the proper vehicle speed messages
to send to the EMIC. The BCM uses an internallyprogrammed electronic pinion factor and a hard
wired input from the rear wheel speed sensor to cal-
culate the proper distance pulse information to send
to the PCM. The electronic pinion factor represents
the proper tire size and axle ratio information for the
vehicle. These chimes will continue to sound until
the turn signal is turned Off, until the hazard warn-
ing system is turned On, or until the ignition switch
is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.
²Water-In-Fuel Warning- On vehicles equipped
with a diesel engine, each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position, the EMIC chime tone gen-
erator will generate a single ªbong-likeº chime tone
the first time an electronic message is received over
the PCI data bus from the PCM requesting ªWater-
in-Fuelº indicator illumination. The PCM uses inter-
nal programming and a hard wired input from the
water-in-fuel sensor to determine the proper water-
in-fuel messages to send to the EMIC. This warning
will only occur once during an ignition cycle.
The EMIC provides chime service for all available
features in the chime warning system. The EMIC
relies upon its internal programming and hard wired
inputs from the turn signal (multi-function) switch,
the washer fluid level switch, and the engine coolant
level sensor (diesel engine only) to provide chime ser-
vice for the turn signal cancel warning, the low
washer fluid warning, and the low coolant warning
respectively. The EMIC relies upon electronic mes-
sage inputs received from other electronic modules
over the PCI data bus network to provide chime ser-
vice for all of the remaining chime warning system
features. Upon receiving the proper inputs, the EMIC
activates the integral chime tone generator to pro-
vide the audible chime warning to the vehicle opera-
tor. The internal programming of the EMIC
determines the priority of each chime request input
that is received, as well as the rate and duration of
each chime tone that is to be generated. See the own-
er's manual in the vehicle glove box for more infor-
mation on the features provided by the chime
warning system.
The hard wired chime warning system inputs to
the EMIC, as well as other hard wired circuits for
this system may be diagnosed and tested using con-
ventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However,
conventional diagnostic methods may not prove con-
clusive in the diagnosis of the EMIC, the PCI data
bus network, or the electronic message inputs used
by the EMIC to provide chime warning system ser-
vice. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the EMIC, the PCI data bus network,
and the electronic message inputs for the chime
warning system requires the use of a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

CHIME WARNING SYSTEM (Continued)

There are two different versions of the BCM: base
and premium. The base BCM is a subset of the com-
ponents in the premium version. Basically, the base
version BCM does not support the following features:
Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC), fog lamps
(front and/or rear), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE),
remote radio switches, or Vehicle Theft Security Sys-
tem (VTSS). Both versions of the BCM utilize inte-
grated circuitry and information carried on the
Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) databus network along with many hard wired inputs to
monitor many sensor and switch inputs throughout
the vehicle. In response to those inputs, the internal
circuitry and programming of the BCM allow it to
control and integrate many electronic functions and
features of the vehicle through both hard wired out-
puts and the transmission of electronic message out-
puts to other electronic modules in the vehicle over
the PCI data bus. The electronic functions and fea-
tures that the BCM supports or controls include the
following:
²A/C Select Switch Status- The BCM monitors
an input from, and transmits the status of the A/C
switch on the heater-A/C control.
²Ambient Temperature Data- The premium
BCM monitors and transmits the ambient tempera-
ture sensor input data.
²Cargo Lamp Disable- The BCM monitors an
input from the cargo lamp switch to provide an inte-
rior lighting disable feature.
²Chimes- The chime tone generator is located
on the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
circuit board, but the EMIC goes to sleep with the
ignition switch in the Off position. The BCM provides
a wake-up output to the EMIC based upon inputs
from the key-in ignition switch or the exterior light-
ing switch, then sends electronic chime request mes-
sages to the EMIC for the headlamps-on warning
and key-in ignition warning.
²Door Lock Inhibit- The BCM monitors the
key-in ignition switch and the driver side front door
ajar switch to provide a door lock inhibit feature.
²Exterior Lamp Load Shedding- The BCM
provides a battery saver feature which will automat-
ically turn off exterior lamps that remain on after a
timed interval.
²Exterior Lamp Status- The BCM monitors
the status of the park lamp, low beam, high beam or
Daytime Running Lamp (DRL - Canada only), front
fog lamp (optional), and rear fog lamp (in required
markets only) relays.
²Exterior Lighting Control- The BCM pro-
vides exterior lamp control for standard head and
park lamps, as well as Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL - Canada only), front fog lamps (optional), and
rear fog lamps (in required markets only). This
includes support for features including optical horn
(also known as flash-to-pass) and headlamp time
delay.
²Flip-Up Glass Control- The BCM monitors
the tailgate cylinder lock switch, the tailgate handle
switch, the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) module
inputs and the rear wiper switch to provide control
for the rear flip-up glass actuator.

ison, the prior two-wire Chrysler Collision Detection
(CCD) data bus system is designed to run at 7.8125
Kbps.
The voltage network used to transmit messages
requires biasing and termination. Each module on
the PCI data bus system provides its own biasing
and termination. Each module (also referred to as a
node) terminates the bus through a terminating
resistor and a terminating capacitor. There are two
types of nodes on the bus. The dominant node termi-
nates the bus througha1KWresistor and a 3300 pF
capacitor. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is
the only dominant node for the PCI data bus system.
A standard node terminates the bus through an 11
KW resistor and a 330 pF capacitor.
The modules bias the bus when transmitting a
message. The PCI bus uses low and high voltage lev-
els to generate signals. Low voltage is around zero
volts and the high voltage is about seven and one-
half volts. The low and high voltage levels are gener-
ated by means of variable-pulse width modulation to
form signals of varying length. The Variable Pulse
Width Modulation (VPWM) used in PCI bus messag-
ing is a method in which both the state of the bus
and the width of the pulse are used to encode bit
information. A9zero9bit is defined as a short low
pulse or a long high pulse. A9one9bit is defined as a
long low pulse or a short high pulse. A low (passive)
state on the bus does not necessarily mean a zero bit.
It also depends upon pulse width. If the width is
short, it stands for a zero bit. If the width is long, it
stands for a one bit. Similarly, a high (active) state
does not necessarily mean a one bit. This too depends
upon pulse width. If the width is short, it stands for
a one bit. If the width is long, it stands for a zero bit.
In the case where there are successive zero or one
data bits, both the state of the bus and the width of
the pulse are changed alternately. This encoding
scheme is used for two reasons. First, this ensures
that only one symbol per transition and one transi-
tion per symbol exists. On each transition, every
transmitting module must decode the symbol on the
bus and begin timing of the next symbol. Since tim-
ing of the next symbol begins with the last transition
detected on the bus, all of the modules are re-syn-
chronized with each symbol. This ensures that thereare no accumulated timing errors during PCI data
bus communication.
The second reason for this encoding scheme is to
guarantee that the zero bit is the dominant bit on
the bus. When two modules are transmitting simul-
taneously on the bus, there must be some form of
arbitration to determine which module will gain con-
trol. A data collision occurs when two modules are
transmitting different messages at the same time.
When a module is transmitting on the bus, it is read-
ing the bus at the same time to ensure message
integrity. When a collision is detected, the module
that transmitted the one bit stops sending messages
over the bus until the bus becomes idle.
Each module is capable of transmitting and receiv-
ing data simultaneously. The typical PCI bus mes-
sage has the following four components:
²Message Header- One to three bytes in length.
The header contains information identifying the mes-
sage type and length, message priority, target mod-
ule(s) and sending module.
²Data Byte(s)- This is the actual message that
is being sent.
²Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) Byte- This
byte is used to detect errors during a message trans-
mission.
²In-Frame Response (IFR) byte(s)-Ifa
response is required from the target module(s), it can
be sent during this frame. This function is described
in greater detail in the following paragraph.
The IFR consists of one or more bytes, which are
transmitted during a message. If the sending module
requires information to be received immediately, the
target module(s) can send data over the bus during
the original message. This allows the sending module
to receive time-critical information without having to
wait for the target module to access the bus. After
the IFR is received, the sending module broadcasts
an End of Frame (EOF) message and releases control
of the bus.
The PCI data bus can be monitored using the
DRBIIItscan tool. It is possible, however, for the bus
to pass all DRBIIIttests and still be faulty if the
voltage parameters are all within the specified range
and false messages are being sent.

COMMUNICATION (Continued)

POWERTRAIN CONTROL
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - PCM
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is located
in the engine compartment (Fig. 8). The PCM is
referred to as JTEC.
DESCRIPTION - MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) change, the PCM adjusts its response to the
output devices. For example, the PCM must calculate
different injector pulse width and ignition timing for
idle than it does for wide open throttle (WOT).
The PCM will operate in two different modes:
Open Loop and Closed Loop.
During Open Loop modes, the PCM receives input
signals and responds only according to preset PCM
programming. Input from the oxygen (O2S) sensors
is not monitored during Open Loop modes.
During Closed Loop modes, the PCM will monitor
the oxygen (O2S) sensors input. This input indicates
to the PCM whether or not the calculated injector
pulse width results in the ideal air-fuel ratio. This
ratio is 14.7 parts air-to-1 part fuel. By monitoring
the exhaust oxygen content through the O2S sensor,
the PCM can fine tune the injector pulse width. This
is done to achieve optimum fuel economy combined
with low emission engine performance.
The fuel injection system has the following modes
of operation:
²Ignition switch ON
²Engine start-up (crank)
²Engine warm-up
²Idle
²Cruise
²Acceleration
²Deceleration
²Wide open throttle (WOT)
²Ignition switch OFF
The ignition switch On, engine start-up (crank),
engine warm-up, acceleration, deceleration and wide
open throttle modes are Open Loop modes. The idle
and cruise modes, (with the engine at operating tem-
perature) are Closed Loop modes.
IGNITION SWITCH (KEY-ON) MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. When the fuel system
is activated by the ignition switch, the following
actions occur:
²The PCM pre-positions the idle air control (IAC)
motor.
²The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure
from the MAP sensor input to determine basic fuel
strategy.
²The PCM monitors the engine coolant tempera-
ture sensor input. The PCM modifies fuel strategy
based on this input.
²Intake manifold air temperature sensor input is
monitored.
²Throttle position sensor (TPS) is monitored.
²The auto shutdown (ASD) relay is energized by
the PCM for approximately three seconds.

²Throttle position sensor (TPS)
²Camshaft position sensor signal
²Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signalÐauto.

²Oxygen (O2S) sensors
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
²Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the
ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then adjust
the injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit
to each individual injector on and off.
²The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and
adjusts air-fuel ratio. It also adjusts engine idle
speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
²The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the
ground path to the coil(s) on and off.
²The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch
through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested
by the A/C thermostat.
ACCELERATION MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The PCM recognizes
an abrupt increase in throttle position or MAP pres-
sure as a demand for increased engine output and
vehicle acceleration. The PCM increases injector
pulse width in response to increased throttle opening.
DECELERATION MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this
is an Open Loop mode. During hard deceleration, the
PCM receives the following inputs.
²Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
²Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
²Battery voltage
²Engine coolant temperature sensor
²Crankshaft position sensor
²Intake manifold air temperature sensor
²Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
²Throttle position sensor (TPS)
²Camshaft position sensor signal
²Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signalÐauto.
trans. only)
²Vehicle speed
If the vehicle is under hard deceleration with the
proper rpm and closed throttle conditions, the PCM
will ignore the oxygen sensor input signal. The PCM
will enter a fuel cut-off strategy in which it will not
supply a ground to the injectors. If a hard decelera-
tion does not exist, the PCM will determine the
proper injector pulse width and continue injection.Based on the above inputs, the PCM will adjust
engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC)
motor.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the
ground path to the coil on and off.
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During wide open
throttle operation, the PCM receives the following
inputs.
²Battery voltage
²Crankshaft position sensor
²Engine coolant temperature sensor
²Intake manifold air temperature sensor
²Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
²Throttle position sensor (TPS)
²Camshaft position sensor signal
During wide open throttle conditions, the following
occurs:
²Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the
ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by
turning the ground circuit to each individual injector
on and off. The PCM ignores the oxygen sensor input
signal and provides a predetermined amount of addi-
tional fuel. This is done by adjusting injector pulse
width.
²The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the
ground path to the coil(s) on and off.
IGNITION SWITCH OFF MODE
When ignition switch is turned to OFF position,
the PCM stops operating the injectors, ignition coil,
ASD relay and fuel pump relay.
DESCRIPTION - 5 VOLT SUPPLIES
Two different Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
five volt supply circuits are used; primary and sec-
ondary.
DESCRIPTION - IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSE
This circuit ties the ignition switch to the Power-
train Control Module (PCM).
DESCRIPTION - POWER GROUNDS
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has 2 main
grounds. Both of these grounds are referred to as
power grounds. All of the high-current, noisy, electri-
cal devices are connected to these grounds as well as
all of the sensor returns. The sensor return comes
into the sensor return circuit, passes through noise
suppression, and is then connected to the power
ground.
The power ground is used to control ground cir-
cuits for the following PCM loads:

lock cylinder housing and is concealed beneath the
steering column shrouds. The molded black plastic
housing for the SKIM has an integral molded plastic
halo-like antenna ring that extends from one end.
When the SKIM is properly installed on the steering
column, the antenna ring is oriented around the cir-
cumference of the ignition lock cylinder housing. A
single integral connector receptacle containing six
terminal pins is located on the opposite end of the
SKIM housing from the antenna ring. A stamped
metal mounting bracket secured to the SKIM hous-
ing has a U-shaped clip formation that is used to
secure the unit to the right lower flange of the steer-
ing column jacket.
The SKIM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty
or damaged, the entire SKIM unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) con-
tains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a
microprocessor. The SKIM transmits RF signals to,
and receives RF signals from the Sentry Key tran-
sponder through a tuned antenna enclosed within the
molded plastic antenna ring integral to the SKIM
housing. If this antenna ring is not mounted properly
around the ignition lock cylinder housing, communi-
cation problems between the SKIM and the transpon-
der may arise. These communication problems will
result in Sentry Key transponder-related faults. The
SKIM also communicates over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus with the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the ElectroMe-
chanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) and/or the
DRBIIItscan tool.The SKIM retains in memory the ID numbers of
any Sentry Key transponder that is programmed into
it. A maximum of eight Sentry Key transponders can
be programmed into the SKIM. For added system
security, each SKIM is programmed with a unique
Secret Key code. This code is stored in memory, sent
over the PCI data bus to the PCM, and is encoded to
the transponder of every Sentry Key that is pro-
grammed into the SKIM. Therefore, the Secret Key
code is a common element that is found in every com-
ponent of the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS).
Another security code, called a PIN, is used to gain
access to the SKIM Secured Access Mode. The
Secured Access Mode is required during service to
perform the SKIS initialization and Sentry Key tran-
sponder programming procedures. The SKIM also
stores the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in its
memory, which it learns through a PCI data bus
message from the PCM during SKIS initialization.
In the event that a SKIM replacement is required,
the Secret Key code can be transferred to the new
SKIM from the PCM using the DRBIIItscan tool
and the SKIS initialization procedure. Proper com-
pletion of the SKIS initialization will allow the exist-
ing Sentry Keys to be programmed into the new
SKIM so that new keys will not be required. In the
event that the original Secret Key code cannot be
recovered, SKIM replacement will also require new
Sentry Keys. The DRBIIItscan tool will alert the
technician during the SKIS initialization procedure if
new Sentry Keys are required.
When the ignition switch is turned to the On posi-
tion, the SKIM transmits an RF signal to the tran-
sponder in the ignition key. The SKIM then waits for
an RF signal response from the transponder. If the
response received identifies the key as valid, the
SKIM sends a valid key message to the PCM over
the PCI data bus. If the response received identifies
the key as invalid, or if no response is received from
the key transponder, the SKIM sends an invalid key
message to the PCM. The PCM will enable or disable
engine operation based upon the status of the SKIM
messages. It is important to note that the default
condition in the PCM is an invalid key; therefore, if
no message is received from the SKIM by the PCM,
the engine will be disabled and the vehicle immobi-
lized after two seconds of running.
The SKIM also sends SKIS indicator status mes-
sages to the EMIC over the PCI data bus to tell the
EMIC how to operate the SKIS indicator. This indi-
cator status message tells the EMIC to turn the indi-
cator on for about three seconds each time the
ignition switch is turned to the On position as a bulb
test. After completion of the bulb test, the SKIM
sends indicator status messages to the EMIC to turn
the indicator off, turn the indicator on, or to flash the

²Target Idle
²Torque Reduction Confirmation
²Engine Coolant Temperature
²Ambient/Battery Temperature
²DRBtScan Tool Communication
Based on the information received from these var-
ious inputs, the TCM determines the appropriate
shift schedule and shift points, depending on the
present operating conditions and driver demand.
This is possible through the control of various direct
and indirect outputs.
Some examples of TCMdirect outputsare:
²Transmission Control Relay
²Solenoids
²Torque Reduction Request
Some examples of TCMindirect outputsare:
²Transmission Temperature (to PCM)
²PRNDL Position (to BCM)
In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling
outputs, the TCM has other important responsibili-
ties and functions:
²Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indexes
(CVI)
²Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Sched-
ules
²System self-diagnostics
²Diagnostic capabilities (with DRBtscan tool)
NOTE: If the TCM has been replaced, the ªQuick
Learn Procedureº must be performed. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/
TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE - STANDARD
PROCEDURE)
BATTERY FEED
A fused, direct battery feed to the TCM is used for
continuous power. This battery voltage is necessary
to retain adaptive learn values in the TCM's RAM
(Random Access Memory). When the battery (B+) is
disconnected, this memory is lost. When the battery
(B+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by the
TCM and a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)
An important function of the TCM is to monitor
Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI). CVIs represent the vol-
ume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack.
The TCM monitors gear ratio changes by monitor-
ing the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The Input,
or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an electrical signal to
the TCM that represents input shaft rpm. The Out-put Speed Sensor provides the TCM with output
shaft speed information.
By comparing the two inputs, the TCM can deter-
mine transmission gear position. This is important to
the CVI calculation because the TCM determines
CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur (Fig. 13).
Gear ratios can be determined by using the DRBt
Scan Tool and reading the Input/Output Speed Sen-
sor values in the ªMonitorsº display. Gear ratio can
be obtained by dividing the Input Speed Sensor value
by the Output Speed Sensor value.
For example, if the input shaft is rotating at 1000
rpm and the output shaft is rotating at 500 rpm,
then the TCM can determine that the gear ratio is
2:1. In direct drive (3rd gear), the gear ratio changes
to 1:1. The gear ratio changes as clutches are applied
and released. By monitoring the length of time it
takes for the gear ratio to change following a shift
request, the TCM can determine the volume of fluid
used to apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply
the friction elements are continuously updated for
adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the vol-
ume of fluid need to apply the element increases.

HEATED SEAT MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat module is also known as the Seat
Heat Interface Module. The heated seat module (Fig.
14) is located under the left front seat cushion, where
it is secured to a mounting bracket via two push-pin
retainers. The heated seat module has a single con-
nector receptacle that allows the module to be con-
nected to all of the required inputs and outputs
through the seat wire harness.
The heated seat module is an electronic micropro-
cessor controlled device designed and programmed to
use inputs from the heated seat relay, the two heatedseat switches and the two heated seat sensors to
operate and control the heated seat elements in both
front seats and the two heated seat indicator lamp
Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) in each heated seat
switch. The heated seat module is also programmed
to perform self-diagnosis of certain heated seat sys-
tem functions and provide feedback of that diagnosis
through the heated seat switch indicator lamps.
The heated seat module cannot be repaired. If the
heated seat module is damaged or faulty, the entire
module must be replaced.
OPERATION
The heated seat module operates on fused battery
current received from a fuse in the junction block.
The module is grounded at all times. Inputs to the
module include a resistor multiplexed heated seat
switch request circuit for each of the two heated seat
switches and the heated seat sensor inputs from the
seat cushions of each front seat. In response to those
inputs, the heated seat module controls battery cur-
rent to the heated seat elements and sensors, and

available on this model. Male post type terminals
made of a soft lead material protrude from the top of
the molded plastic battery case to provide the means
for connecting the battery to the vehicle electrical
system. The battery positive terminal post is physi-
cally larger in diameter than the negative terminal
post to ensure proper battery connection. The letters
POSandNEGare also molded into the top of the
battery case adjacent to their respective positive and
negative terminal posts for identification confirma-
tion. Refer to Battery Cables for more information on
the battery cables that connect the battery to the
vehicle electrical system.
The battery is made up of six individual cells that
are connected in series. Each cell contains positively
charged plate groups that are connected with leadstraps to the positive terminal post, and negatively
charged plate groups that are connected with lead
straps to the negative terminal post. Each plate con-
sists of a stiff mesh framework or grid coated with
lead dioxide (positive plate) or sponge lead (negative
plate). Insulators or plate separators made of a non-
conductive material are inserted between the positive
and negative plates to prevent them from contacting
or shorting against one another. These dissimilar
metal plates are submerged in a sulfuric acid and
water solution called an electrolyte.
The factory-installed battery has a built-in test
indicator (hydrometer). The color visible in the sight
glass of the indicator will reveal the battery condi-
tion. Refer to Standard Procedures for the proper
built-in indicator test procedures.The factory-in-
stalled low-maintenance battery has removable
battery cell caps.Distilled water can be added to
this battery. The battery is not sealed and has vent
holes in the cell caps. The chemical composition of
the metal coated plates within the low-maintenance

REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The rear window defogger switch is installed in the
instrument panel HVAC contol head assembly. The
momentary-type switch provides a hard-wired ground
signal to the HVAC control head each time it is
depressed. The instrument cluster rear window
defogger timer and logic circuitry responds by ener-
gizing or de-energizing the rear window defogger
relay.
OPERATION
Energizing the rear window defogger relay pro-
vides electrical current to the rear window defogger
grid and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the outside
rear view mirror heating grids. An amber indicator
lamp in the defogger switch, which lights to indicate
when the defogger system is turned On, is also pow-
ered by the defogger relay output.
The defogger switch illumination lamp and indica-
tor lamp bulbs are serviceable. The defogger switch
cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged the
entire HVAC control head assembly must be
replaced.

Appropriate Wiring Information).
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING
COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT
DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISO-
LATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE,
THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYS-
TEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PER-
FORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS
IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENTAL
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Remove the HVAC control head assembly from
the instrument panel and unplug the defogger switch
wire harness connector-B.
(2) Check for continuity between the ground cir-
cuit cavity of the defogger switch wire harness con-nector and a good ground. There should be
continuity. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the
open circuit as required.
(3) Check for continuity between the ground cir-
cuit terminal and the rear window defogger switch
sense circuit terminal on the back of the defogger
switch housing (Fig. 5). There should be momentary
continuity as the defogger switch button is depressed,
and then no continuity. If OK, (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/HEATED GLASS/REAR WINDOW DEFOG-
GER SWITCH - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING -
