A chime warning system is standard factory-in-
stalled equipment on this model. The chime warning
system uses a single chime tone generator that is sol-
dered onto the electronic circuit board that is integral
to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
to provide an audible indication of various vehicle
conditions that may require the attention of the vehi-
cle operator or occupants (Fig. 1). The microproces-
sor-based EMIC utilizes electronic chime request
messages received from other electronic modules in
the vehicle over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network along with hard
wired inputs to the cluster microprocessor to monitor
many sensors and switches throughout the vehicle.
In response to those inputs, the integrated circuitry
and internal programming of the EMIC allow it to
control audible outputs that are produced through its
on-board chime tone generator.
The EMIC circuitry and its chime tone generator
are capable of producing each of the four following
audible outputs:
²Fixed Duration Beep- A short, sharp, single
tactile ªbeep-likeº tone that is about 150 milliseconds
in duration.
²Single Chime Tone- A single ªbong-likeº chime
tone.
²Slow Rate Repetitive Chime- Repeated
chime tones that are issued at a slow rate of about
50 ªbong-likeº tones per minute.
²Fast Rate Repetitive Chime- Repeated chime
tones that are issued at a fast rate of about 180
ªbong-likeº tones per minute.
Hard wired circuitry connects the EMIC and the
various chime warning system switch and sensor
inputs to their electronic modules and to each other
through the electrical system of the vehicle. These
hard wired circuits are integral to numerous wire
harnesses, which are routed throughout the vehicle
and retained by many different methods. These cir-
cuits may be connected to each other, to the vehicle
electrical system and to the chime warning system
through the use of a combination of soldered splices,
splice block connectors, and many different types of
wire harness terminal connectors and insulators.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wir-
ing information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire har-
ness connectors, splices and grounds.
The EMIC chime warning system circuitry and
integral chime tone generator cannot be adjusted or
repaired. If the EMIC or the chime tone generator
are damaged or faulty, the EMIC unit must be
replaced.OPERATION
The chime warning system is designed to provide
an audible output as an indication of various condi-
tions that may require the attention or awareness of
the vehicle operator or occupants. The chime warning
system components operate on battery current
received through a fused B(+) fuse in the Junction
Block (JB) on a non-switched fused B(+) circuit so
that the system may operate regardless of the igni-
tion switch position. However, the chime warning
system also monitors the ignition switch position so
that some chime features will only occur with igni-
tion switch in the On position, while others occur
regardless of the ignition switch position.
The chime warning system provides an audible
indication to the vehicle operator or occupants under
the following conditions:
²Airbag Indicator Warning- The ElectroMe-
chanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) chime tone gen-
erator will generate one, short, ªbong-likeº chime
tone when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and an electronic message is received over the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus
from the Airbag Control Module (ACM) requesting
ªAirbagº indicator illumination. This warning will
only occur following completion of the ªAirbagº indi-
cator bulb test, and will only occur once during an
ignition cycle. The ACM uses internal programming,
hard wired inputs from the front Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) components and, on vehicles
so equipped, electronic messages received over the
PCI data bus from each Side Impact Airbag Control
Module (SIACM) to determine the proper ªAirbagº
indicator messages to send to the EMIC.
²Anti-Lock Brake Indicator Warning- The
EMIC chime tone generator will generate one, short,
ªbong-likeº chime tone when the ignition switch is in
the On position, and an electronic message is
received over the PCI data bus from the Controller
Anti-lock Brake (CAB) requesting ªAntilock Brake
System (ABS)º indicator illumination. This warning
will only occur following completion of the ªABSº
indicator bulb test, and will only occur once during
an ignition cycle. The CAB uses internal program-
ming, hard wired inputs from the Antilock Brake
System (ABS) components, and electronic messages
received over the PCI data bus from the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) to determine the proper
ªABSº indicator messages to send to the EMIC.
²Compass Mini-Trip Computer Reset- The
EMIC chime tone generator will generate one, short,
fixed duration ªbeep-likeº chime tone when the igni-
tion switch is in the On position, and an electronic
message is received over the PCI data bus from the
optional Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC)
requesting that the CMTC elapsed time, average fuel

BODY CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
A Body Control Module (BCM) is concealed behind
the driver side end of the instrument panel in the
passenger compartment, where it is secured to the
fuse panel side of the Junction Block (JB) with four
screws (Fig. 1). The JB is the interface between the
body, the instrument panel, and the headlamp and
dash wire harnesses. The JB also contains the fuses
and relays used for the interior electrical system of
the vehicle. The BCM is enclosed in a molded plastic
housing with two integral external connector recepta-
cles that connect it to the vehicle electrical system
through two take outs with connectors from the
instrument panel wire harness (Fig. 2). The BCM
also has an integral interface connector concealed on
the back side of the unit that joins it through a con-
nector receptacle that is integral to the JB housing to
the circuitry within the JB. This connector is referred
to as the JB-BCM connector. The combined BCM and
JB are sometimes referred to as the Junction Block
Module (JBM).

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.

flip-up glass ajar switch, the hood ajar switch (in
required markets only), and the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) module to control the features of the
optional Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS).
Hard wired circuitry connects the BCM to the elec-
trical system of the vehicle. These hard wired circuits
are integral to several wire harnesses, which are
routed throughout the vehicle and retained by many
different methods. These circuits may be connected to
each other, to the vehicle electrical system and to the
BCM through the use of a combination of soldered
splices, splice block connectors, and many different
types of wire harness terminal connectors and insu-
lators. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
The wiring information includes wiring diagrams,
proper wire and connector repair procedures, further
details on wire harness routing and retention, as well
as pin-out and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
Many of the electronic features in the vehicle con-
trolled or supported by the BCM are programmable
using a customer programming procedure or the
DRBIIItscan tool. In addition, the BCM software is
Flash compatible, which means it can be repro-
grammed using Flash reprogramming procedures.
However, if any of the BCM hardware components is
damaged or faulty, the entire BCM unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The microprocessor-based Body Control Module
(BCM) monitors many hard wired switch and sensor
inputs as well as those resources it shares with other
electronic modules in the vehicle through its commu-
nication over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network. The internal pro-
gramming and all of these inputs allow the BCM
microprocessor to determine the tasks it needs to
perform and their priorities, as well as both the stan-
dard and optional features that it should provide.
The BCM programming then performs those tasks
and provides those features through both PCI data
bus communication with other electronic modules
and through hard wired outputs through a number of
driver circuits, relays, and actuators. These outputs
allow the BCM the ability to control numerous acces-
sory systems in the vehicle.
The BCM operates on battery current received
through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB) on a non-
switched fused B(+) circuit, through another fuse in
the JB on a fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit, and through a third fuse in the JB on a fused
ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit. This arrange-
ment allows the BCM to provide some features
regardless of the ignition switch position, while other
features will operate only with the ignition switch inthe On, Start, and/or Accessory positions. All of the
battery current circuits are connected to the BCM
through the JB/BCM connector. The BCM receives
ground through five separate circuits. Three of these
circuits are connected to the BCM through a connec-
tor and take out of the instrument panel wire har-
ness on three separate ground circuits, while the
other two circuits are connected to the BCM through
the JB/BCM connector. All of these circuits are
grounded through a splice block located in the instru-
ment panel wire harness with an eyelet terminal con-
nector that is secured by a nut to a ground stud on
the driver side instrument panel end bracket near
the JB.
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.

COMMUNICATION
DESCRIPTION
The DaimlerChrysler Programmable Communica-
tion Interface (PCI) data bus system is a single wire
multiplex system used for vehicle communications on
many DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles. Multi-
plexing is a system that enables the transmission of
several messages over a single channel or circuit. All
DaimlerChrysler vehicles use this principle for com-
munication between various microprocessor-based
electronic control modules. The PCI data bus exceeds
the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J1850
Standard for Class B Multiplexing.
Many of the electronic control modules in a vehicle
require information from the same sensing device. In
the past, if information from one sensing device was
required by several controllers, a wire from each con-
troller needed to be connected in parallel to that sen-
sor. In addition, each controller utilizing analog
sensors required an Analog/Digital (A/D) converter in
order to9read9these sensor inputs. Multiplexing
reduces wire harness complexity, sensor current
loads and controller hardware because each sensing
device is connected to only one controller, which
reads and distributes the sensor information to the
other controllers over the data bus. Also, because
each controller on the data bus can access the con-
troller sensor inputs to every other controller on the
data bus, more function and feature capabilities are
possible.
In addition to reducing wire harness complexity,
component sensor current loads and controller hard-
ware, multiplexing offers a diagnostic advantage. A
multiplex system allows the information flowing
between controllers to be monitored using a diagnos-
tic scan tool. The DaimlerChrysler system allows an
electronic control module to broadcast message data
out onto the bus where all other electronic control
modules can9hear9the messages that are being sent.
When a module hears a message on the data bus
that it requires, it relays that message to its micro-
processor. Each module ignores the messages on the
data bus that are being sent to other electronic con-
trol modules.
OPERATION
Data exchange between modules is achieved by
serial transmission of encoded data over a single wire
broadcast network. The wire colors used for the PCI
data bus circuits are yellow with a violet tracer, or
violet with a yellow tracer, depending upon the appli-
cation. The PCI data bus messages are carried over
the bus in the form of Variable Pulse Width Modu-
lated (VPWM) signals. The PCI data bus speed is an
average 10.4 Kilo-bits per second (Kbps). By compar-

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

(4) Set an electronic digital multi-meter to its
highest amperage scale. Connect the multi-meter
between the disconnected battery negative cable ter-
minal clamp and the battery negative terminal post.
Make sure that the doors remain closed so that the
illuminated entry system is not activated. The multi-
meter amperage reading may remain high for up to
three minutes, or may not give any reading at all
while set in the highest amperage scale, depending
upon the electrical equipment in the vehicle. The
multi-meter leads must be securely clamped to the
battery negative cable terminal clamp and the bat-
tery negative terminal post. If continuity between the
battery negative terminal post and the negative cable
terminal clamp is lost during any part of the IOD
test, the electronic timer function will be activated
and all of the tests will have to be repeated.
(5) After about three minutes, the high-amperage
IOD reading on the multi-meter should become very
low or nonexistent, depending upon the electrical
equipment in the vehicle. If the amperage reading
remains high, remove and replace each fuse or circuit
breaker in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) and
then in the Junction Block (JB), one at a time until
the amperage reading becomes very low, or nonexist-
ent. Refer to the appropriate wiring information in
this service manual for complete PDC and JB fuse,
circuit breaker, and circuit identification. This will
isolate each circuit and identify the circuit that is the
source of the high-amperage IOD. If the amperage
reading remains high after removing and replacing
each fuse and circuit breaker, disconnect the wire
harness from the generator. If the amperage reading
now becomes very low or nonexistent, refer to Charg-
ing System for the proper charging system diagnosis
and testing procedures. After the high-amperage IOD
has been corrected, switch the multi-meter to pro-
gressively lower amperage scales and, if necessary,
repeat the fuse and circuit breaker remove-and-re-
place process to identify and correct all sources of
excessive IOD. It is now safe to select the lowest mil-
liampere scale of the multi-meter to check the low-
amperage IOD.
CAUTION: Do not open any doors, or turn on any
electrical accessories with the lowest milliampere
scale selected, or the multi-meter may be damaged.
(6) Observe the multi-meter reading. The low-am-
perage IOD should not exceed thirty-five milliam-
peres (0.035 ampere). If the current draw exceeds
thirty-five milliamperes, isolate each circuit using the
fuse and circuit breaker remove-and-replace processin Step 5. The multi-meter reading will drop to
within the acceptable limit when the source of the
excessive current draw is disconnected. Repair this
circuit as required; whether a wiring short, incorrect
switch adjustment, or a component failure is at fault.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - USING
MIDTRONICS ELECTRICAL TESTER
Always use the Midtronics Instruction Manual that
was supplied with the tester as a reference. If the
Instruction Manual is not available the following pro-
cedure can be used:
WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR APPROPRIATE EYE
PROTECTION AND USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN
WORKING WITH BATTERIES.
BATTERY TESTING
(1) If testing the battery OUT-OF-VEHICLE, clean
the battery terminals with a wire brush before test-
ing. If the battery is equipped with side post termi-
nals, install and tighten the supplied lead terminal
stud adapters. Do not use steel bolts. Failure to prop-
erly install the stud adapters, or using stud adapters
that are dirty or worn-out may result in false test
readings.
(2) If testing the battery IN-THE-VEHICLE, make
certain all of the vehicle accessory loads are OFF,
including the ignition.The preferred test position
is at the battery terminal. If the battery is not
accessible, you may test using both the positive and

HEATED MIRRORS
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the optional heated mirror
package have an electric heating grid located behind
the mirror glass of each outside rear view mirror.
The heated mirrors are controlled by the rear win-
dow defogger switch. Electrical current is directed to
the heating grid inside the mirror only when the rear
window defogger switch is in the On position.
If the outside mirror heating grids and the rear
window heating grid are all inoperative, (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/HEATED GLASS - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). If the outside mirror heating grids are
inoperative, but the rear window heating grid is
operating as designed, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
HEATED MIRRORS - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
The heating grid behind each outside mirror glass
cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
entire power mirror unit must be replaced(Refer to 8
- ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/SIDEVIEW MIR-
ROR - REMOVAL) and (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
POWER MIRRORS/SIDEVIEW MIRROR -
INSTALLATION).
OPERATION
The heated mirror is controlled by the rear window
defogger switch. The only time that the heated mir-
ror is on is when the rear window defogger is on. The
mirror should become warm to the touch.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED MIRRORS
For circuit descriptions and diagrams (Refer to
Appropriate Wiring Information).
(1) Check the fuse in the junction block. If OK, go
to Step 2. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or
component as required and replace the faulty fuse.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the junction
block. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the open
circuit to the ignition switch as required.
(3) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Remove the front door trim panel on the side
of the vehicle with the inoperative mirror heating
grid. Unplug the wire harness connector at the mir-
ror. Check for continuity between the ground circuit
cavity in the body half of the power mirror wire har-
ness connector and a good ground. If OK, go to Step
4. If not OK, repair the open circuit to ground as
required.
(4) Connect the battery negative cable. Turn the
ignition switch to the On position. Turn on the rear
window defogger system. Check for battery voltage at
the rear window defogger relay output circuit cavity
in the body half of the power mirror wire harness
connector. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the
open circuit to the rear window defogger relay as
required.
