HEATED SEAT SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
Individually controlled electrically heated front
seats are available on models that are also equipped
with the optional leather trim package. Vehicles with
this option can be visually identified by the two sep-
arate heated seat switches mounted on the outboard
seat cushion side shields. The heated seat system
allows the front seat driver and passenger to select
from two different levels of supplemental electrical
seat heating, or no seat heating to suit their individ-
ual comfort requirements. The heated seat system for
this vehicle includes the following major components:
²Heated Seat Switches- Two heated seat
switches are used per vehicle, including two Light-
Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lamps and an incan-
descent back lighting bulb for each switch. One
switch for the driver and one for the passenger front
seats. The switches are mounted on the outboard
seat cushion side shields.
²Heated Seat Module- also referred to as the
Seat Heat Interface Module (SHIM), this module con-
tains the solid state electronic control and diagnostic
logic circuitry for the heated seat system. One heated
seat module is used per vehicle and is mounted
under the left front seat cushion. Refer to the Elec-
tronic Control Modules section of the service manual
for heated seat module information.
²Heated Seat Elements- Four heated seat ele-
ments are used per vehicle, one for each front seat
back and one for each front seat cushion. The ele-
ments are integral to the individual front seat andseat back cushions and cannot be removed from the
cushions, once installed at the factory.
²Heated Seat Sensors- Two heated seat sen-
sors are used per vehicle, one for each front seat. The
sensors are integral to the individual front seat heat-
ing elements.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the heated seat system. See the own-
er's manual in the vehicle glove box for more infor-
mation on the features, use and operation of the
heated seat system. Refer toWiring Diagramsfor
the location of complete heated seat system wiring
diagrams.
OPERATION
The heated seat module receives fused battery cur-
rent through fuse #29 in the Junction Block (JB)
when the ignition switch is in the ªONº position. The
heated seat switches receive battery current through
fuse #25 in the Junction Block also, when the igni-
tion switch is in the ªONº position. The heated seat
module shares a common ground circuit with each of
the heated seat elements. The heated seat elements
will only operate when the surface temperature of
the seat cushion is below the designed temperature
set points of the system.
The heated seat system will also be turned off
automatically whenever the ignition switch is turned
to any position except On. If the ignition switch is
turned to the Off position while a heated seat is
turned ON, the heated seat will remain Off after the
ignition switch is turned back ªONº until a heated
seat switch is depressed again.
8G - 10 HEATED SEAT SYSTEMKJ

OPERATION
There are three positions that can be selected with
each of the heated seat switches: Off, Low, and High.
When the front of the switch rocker is fully
depressed, the High position is selected and the high
position LED indicator illuminates. When the rear of
the switch rocker is fully depressed, the Low position
is selected and the low position LED indicator illumi-
nates. When the switch rocker is depressed a second
time in either direction, Off is selected and both LED
indicators are extinguished.
Both switches provide separate resistor multi-
plexed hard wire inputs to the Heated Seat Module
to indicate the selected switch position. The heated
seat module monitors the switch inputs and responds
to the heated seat switch status messages by control-
ling the output to the seat heater elements of the
selected seat. The Low heat position set point is
about 36É C (97É F), and the High heat position set
point is about 41É C (105É F).

gauge readings during normal operation that are con-
sistent with customer expectations. However, when
abnormal conditions exist such as high coolant tem-
perature, the algorithm can drive the gauge pointer
to an extreme position and the microprocessor can
sound a chime through the on-board chime tone gen-
erator to provide distinct visual and audible indica-
tions of a problem to the vehicle operator. The
instrument cluster circuitry may also perform chime
service for other electronic modules in the vehicle
based upon electronic chime tone request messages
received over the PCI data bus to provide the vehicle
operator with an audible alert to supplement a visual
indication. One such alert is a door ajar warning
chime, which the EMIC provides by monitoring PCI
bus messages from the Body Control Module (BCM).
The EMIC circuitry operates on battery current
received through a fused B(+) fuse in the Junction
Block (JB) on a non-switched fused B(+) circuit, and
on battery current received through a fused ignition
switch output (run-start) fuse in the JB on a fused
ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. This
arrangement allows the EMIC to provide some fea-
tures regardless of the ignition switch position, while
other features will operate only with the ignition
switch in the On or Start positions. The EMIC
receives a ground input from the BCM as a wake-up
signal in order to provide the ignition-off features.
The EMIC circuitry is grounded through a ground
circuit and take out of the instrument panel wire
harness with an eyelet terminal connector that is
secured by a nut to a ground stud located on the left
instrument panel end bracket.
The EMIC also has a self-diagnostic actuator test
capability, which will test each of the PCI bus mes-
sage-controlled functions of the cluster by lighting
the appropriate indicators (except the airbag indica-
tor), sweeping the gauge needles to several calibra-
tion points across the gauge faces, and stepping the
odometer display sequentially from all ones through
all nines. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). See the
owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the features, use and operation of the
EMIC.
GAUGES All gauges receive battery current
through the EMIC circuitry when the ignition switch
is in the On or Start positions. With the ignition
switch in the Off position battery current is not sup-
plied to any gauges, and the EMIC circuitry is pro-
grammed to move all of the gauge needles back to
the low end of their respective scales. Therefore, the
gauges do not accurately indicate any vehicle condi-
tion unless the ignition switch is in the On or Start
positions. All of the EMIC gauges, except the odome-
ter, are air core magnetic units. Two fixed electro-magnetic coils are located within each gauge. These
coils are wrapped at right angles to each other
around a movable permanent magnet. The movable
magnet is suspended within the coils on one end of a
pivot shaft, while the gauge needle is attached to the
other end of the shaft. One of the coils has a fixed
current flowing through it to maintain a constant
magnetic field strength. Current flow through the
second coil changes, which causes changes in its
magnetic field strength. The current flowing through
the second coil is changed by the EMIC circuitry in
response to messages received over the PCI data bus.
The gauge needle moves as the movable permanent
magnet aligns itself to the changing magnetic fields
created around it by the electromagnets.
The gauges are diagnosed using the EMIC self-di-
agnostic actuator test. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). Proper testing of the PCI data bus and
the electronic data bus message inputs to the EMIC
that control each gauge require the use of a DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation. Specific operation details for each gauge may
be found elsewhere in this service information.
VACUUM-FLUORESCENT DISPLAY The Vacu-
um-Fluorescent Display (VFD) module is soldered to
the EMIC circuit board. The display is active when
the driver door is opened with the ignition switch in
the Off or Accessory positions (Rental Car mode), and
with the ignition switch in the On or Start positions.
The VFD is inactive when the ignition switch is in
the Off or Accessory positions and the driver door is
closed. The illumination intensity of the VFD is con-
trolled by the EMIC circuitry based upon electronic
dimming level messages received from the BCM over
the PCI data bus, and is synchronized with the illu-
mination intensity of other VFDs in the vehicle. The
BCM provides dimming level messages based upon
internal programming and inputs it receives from the
control knob and control ring on the left (lighting)
control stalk of the multi-function switch on the
steering column.
The VFD has several display capabilities including
odometer, trip odometer, and warning messages
whenever the appropriate conditions exist. The VFD
warning messages include:
²ªdoorº- indicating a door is ajar.
²ªgateº- indicating the tailgate is ajar.
²ªglassº- indicating the tailgate glass is ajar.
²ªlowashº- indicating that the washer fluid
level is low.
²ªno busº- indicating there is no PCI data bus
communication detected.
An odometer/trip odometer switch on the EMIC cir-
cuit board is used to control the display modes. This
switch is actuated manually by depressing the odom-
KJINSTRUMENT CLUSTER 8J - 5
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (Continued)

eter/trip odometer switch button that extends
through the lower edge of the cluster lens, just right
of the speedometer. Actuating this switch momen-
tarily with the ignition switch in the On position will
toggle the VFD between the odometer and trip odom-
eter modes. Depressing the switch button for about
two seconds while the VFD is in the trip odometer
mode will reset the trip odometer value to zero. Hold-
ing this switch depressed while turning the ignition
switch from the Off position to the On position will
initiate the EMIC self-diagnostic actuator test. The
VFD will also display the cluster software version
level near the completion of the EMIC self-diagnostic
actuator test. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information for additional details on this VFD func-
tion.
The VFD is diagnosed using the EMIC self-diag-
nostic actuator test. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IN-
STRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). Proper testing of the PCI data bus and
the electronic data bus message inputs to the EMIC
that control some of the VFD functions requires the
use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information. Specific operation details for
the odometer, the trip odometer, and the various
warning message functions of the VFD may be found
elsewhere in this service information.
INDICATORS Indicators are located in various
positions within the EMIC and are all connected to
the EMIC circuit board. The turn signal indicators,
security indicator, washer fluid indicator, and coolant
low indicator (diesel engine only) use hard wired
inputs to the EMIC. The brake indicator is controlled
by PCI data bus messages from the Controller
Antilock Brake (CAB) as well as by hard wired park
brake switch and brake fluid level switch inputs to
the EMIC. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is
normally controlled by PCI data bus messages from
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM); however, if
the EMIC loses PCI data bus communication, the
EMIC circuitry will automatically turn the MIL on
until PCI data bus communication is restored. The
EMIC uses PCI data bus messages from the Body
Control Module (BCM), the PCM, the Airbag Control
Module (ACM), and the CAB to control all of the
remaining indicators.
The various indicators are controlled by different
strategies; some receive fused ignition switch output
from the EMIC circuitry and have a switched ground,
others are grounded through the EMIC circuitry and
have a switched battery feed, while still others are
completely controlled by the EMIC microprocessor
based upon various hard wired and electronic mes-
sage inputs. Some indicators are illuminated at a
fixed intensity, while the illumination intensity ofothers is synchronized with that of the EMIC general
illumination lamps.
In addition, certain indicators in this instrument
cluster are automatically configured or self-config-
ured. This feature allows the configurable indicators
to be enabled by the EMIC circuitry for compatibility
with certain optional equipment. The ABS indicator,
airbag indicator, SKIS indicator are automatically
configured by PCI data bus messages received by the
EMIC from the CAB, ACM, or Sentry Key Immobi-
lizer Module (SKIM) after the EMIC is installed in
the vehicle. Once these configuration settings are
learned by the EMIC, the DRBIIItscan tool must be
used to remove these settings from the EMIC non-
volatile memory. The self-configured indicators
remain latent in each EMIC at all times and will be
activated only when the EMIC receives the appropri-
ate PCI message inputs for the optional system or
equipment.
The hard wired indicators are diagnosed using con-
ventional diagnostic methods. The EMIC and PCI
bus message controlled indicators are diagnosed
using the EMIC self-diagnostic actuator test. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). Proper testing of the
PCI data bus and the electronic data bus message
inputs to the EMIC that control each indicator
require the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information. Specific details of
the operation for each indicator may be found else-
where in this service information.
CLUSTER ILLUMINATION The EMIC has several
illumination lamps that are illuminated when the
exterior lighting is turned on with the headlamp
(multi-function) switch. The illumination intensity of
these lamps is adjusted by a 12-volt Pulse Width
Modulated (PWM) output of the EMIC when the
interior lighting control ring on the left control stalk
of the multi-function switch is rotated (down to dim,
up to brighten) to one of six available minor detent
positions. The BCM provides electronic dimming
level messages based upon internal programming
and inputs it receives from the control knob and con-
trol ring on the left (lighting) control stalk of the
multi-function switch on the steering column, then
provides a control output to energize or de-energize
the park lamp relay as appropriate. The energized
park lamp relay provides battery current to the
EMIC on the hard wired fused park lamp relay out-
put circuit, and the BCM provides the electronic dim-
ming level message to the EMIC over the PCI data
bus. The EMIC electronic circuitry provides the
proper PWM output to the cluster illumination lamps
and the VFD on the EMIC circuit board, then pro-
vides a synchronized PWM output on the hard wired
8J - 6 INSTRUMENT CLUSTERKJ
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (Continued)

fused panel lamps dimmer switch signal circuit. The
cluster illumination lamps are grounded at all times.
In addition, the control ring on the left (lighting)
control stalk of the multi-function switch has a
Parade Mode position to provide a parade mode. The
BCM monitors the request for this mode from the
multi-function switch, then sends an electronic dim-
ming level message to the EMIC over the PCI data
bus to illuminate all VFDs in the vehicle at full
intensity for easier visibility when driving in daylight
with the exterior lighting turned On.
The hard wired cluster illumination lamp circuits
may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic
methods. However, proper testing of the PWM output
of the EMIC and the electronic dimming level mes-
sages sent by the BCM over the PCI data bus
requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.
CHIME WARNING SERVICE The EMIC is pro-
grammed to provide chime service when certain indi-
cators are illuminated. When the programmed
conditions are met, the EMIC generates an electronic
chime tone through its integral chime tone generator.
In addition, the EMIC is programmed to provide
chime service for other electronic modules in the
vehicle when it receives the proper electronic chime
request messages over the PCI data bus. Upon
receiving the proper chime request message, the
EMIC activates the integral chime tone generator to
provide the audible chime tone to the vehicle opera-
tor. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/CHIME/BUZZER -
OPERATION). Proper testing of the EMIC and the
PCI data bus chime request message functions
requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

ampere) in the Junction Block (JB). If OK, go to Step
2. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component
as required and replace the faulty fuse.
(2) Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) fuse
(Fuse 34 - 15 ampere) in the JB. If OK, go to Step 3.
If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit between
the JB and the Power Distribution Center (PDC) as
required.
(3) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Remove the instrument cluster. Reconnect the
battery negative cable. Check for battery voltage at
the fused B(+) circuit cavity of the instrument panel
wire harness connector for the instrument cluster. If
OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open fused
B(+) circuit between the instrument cluster and the
JB as required.
(4) Check the fused ignition switch output (run-
start) fuse (Fuse 13 - 10 ampere) in the JB. If OK, go
to Step 5. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or
component as required and replace the faulty fuse.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run-start) fuse (Fuse 13 - 10 ampere) in the
JB. If OK, go to Step 6. If not OK, repair the open

fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit
between the JB and the ignition switch as required.
(6) With the ignition switch still in the On posi-
tion, check for battery voltage at the fused ignition
switch output (run-start) circuit cavity of the instru-
ment panel wire harness connector for the instru-
ment cluster. If OK, go to Step 7. If not OK, repair
the open fused ignition switch output circuit (run-
start) between the instrument cluster and the JB as
required.
(7) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit cav-
ity of the instrument panel wire harness connector
for the instrument cluster and a good ground. There
should be continuity. If OK, refer to ACTUATOR
TEST . If not OK, repair the open ground circuit
between the instrument cluster and ground (G202) as
required.
ACTUATOR TEST
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, DISABLE THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING
WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, DRIVER AIRBAG,
PASSENGER AIRBAG, SEAT BELT TENSIONER,
FRONT IMPACT SENSORS, SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG,
OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS
OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE
BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE, THEN
WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE SYSTEM CAPACI-
TOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PERFORMING FUR-
THER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS IS THE ONLY
SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE
PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCI-
DENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
The instrument cluster actuator test will put the
instrument cluster into its self-diagnostic mode. In
this mode the instrument cluster can perform a self-
diagnostic test that will confirm that the instrument
cluster circuitry, the gauges, the PCI data bus mes-
sage controlled indicator lamps, and the chime tone
generator are capable of operating as designed. Dur-
ing the actuator test the instrument cluster circuitry
will sound the chime tone generator, position each of
the gauge needles at various specified calibration
points, illuminate each of the segments in the Vacu-um-Fluorescent Display (VFD), and turn all of the
PCI data bus message-controlled indicators on and
off again.
Successful completion of the actuator test will con-
firm that the instrument cluster is operational. How-
ever, there may still be a problem with the PCI data
bus, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the Air-
bag Control Module (ACM), the Sentry Key Immobi-
lizer Module (SKIM), or the inputs to one of these
electronic control modules. Use a DRBIIItscan tool
to diagnose these components. Refer to the appropri-
ate diagnostic information.
(1) Begin the test with the ignition switch in the
Off position.
(2) Depress the odometer/trip odometer switch but-
ton.
(3) While still holding the odometer/trip odometer
switch button depressed, turn the ignition switch to
the On position, but do not start the engine.
(4) Release the odometer/trip odometer switch but-
ton.
(5) The instrument cluster will automatically
begin the actuator test sequence, as follows:
(a) The cluster will turn on, then off again each
of the PCI data bus message controlled indicators
to confirm the functionality of the indicator and
the cluster control circuitry:
(b) The cluster will sweep the needles for each of
the gauges to several calibration points in sequence
to confirm the functionality of the gauge and the
cluster control circuitry:
(c) The cluster will sequentially step the odome-
ter/trip odometer VFD display from all ones
( 111111 )through all nines (999999) to confirm the
functionality of all VFD segments and their control
circuitry, then display the software version number.
(d) The cluster will generate five (5) chime tones
to confirm the functionality of the chime tone gen-
erator and the chime control circuitry.
(6) The actuator test is now completed. The instru-
ment cluster will automatically exit the self-diagnos-
tic mode and return to normal operation at the
completion of the test, if the ignition switch is turned
to the Off position during the test, or if an engine
rpm message indicating that the engine is running is
received from the PCM over the PCI data bus during
the test.
(7) Go back to Step 1 to repeat the test, if
required.
