BRAKE LAMP SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The brake lamp switch is a three circuit, spring-
loaded plunger actuated switch that is secured to the
steering column support bracket under the driver
side of the instrument panel (Fig. 3). The brake lamp
switch is contained within a rectangular molded plas-
tic housing with an integral connector receptacle fea-
turing six terminal pins and a red plastic Connector
Position Assurance (CPA) lock. The switch is con-
nected to the vehicle electrical system through a ded-
icated take out and connector of the instrument
panel wire harness. The switch plunger extends
through a mounting collar on one end of the switch
housing. The plunger has a one time telescoping self-
adjustment feature that is achieved after the switch
is installed by moving an adjustment release lever on
the opposite end of the switch housing clockwise,
until it locks in a position that is parallel to the con-
nector receptacle. The brake lamp switch self-adjust-
ment is a one time feature. Once the feature has
been used, the switch cannot be readjusted. A ªDO
NOT RE-INSTALLº warning is molded into the
switch housing below the connector receptacle.
An installed brake lamp switch cannot be read-
justed or repaired. If the switch is damaged, faulty,
or removed from its mounting position for any rea-
son, it must be replaced with a new unit.
OPERATION
The brake lamp switch controls three different cir-
cuits, one normally open and two normally closed.
These circuits are described as follows:
²Brake Lamp Switch Circuit- A normally
open brake lamp switch circuit receives battery cur-
rent on a fused B(+) circuit from a fuse in the Junc-
tion Block (JB), and supplies battery current to the
brake lamps and the Controller Antilock Brake
(CAB) on a brake lamp switch output circuit when
the brake pedal is depressed (brake lamp switch
plunger released).
²Brake Lamp Switch Signal Circuit- A nor-
mally closed brake lamp switch signal circuit receives
a path to ground through a splice block located in the
instrument panel wire harness with an eyelet termi-
nal connector that is secured by a nut to a ground
stud on the driver side instrument panel end bracket
near the Junction Block (JB). This circuit supplies a
ground input to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) on a brake lamp switch sense circuit when the
brake pedal is released (brake lamp switch plunger is
depressed).
²Speed Control Circuit- A normally closed
speed control circuit receives battery current from
the Powertrain Control Module on a speed control
supply circuit, and supplies battery current to the
speed control servo solenoids (dump, vacuum, and
vent) on a speed control brake switch output circuit
when the speed control system is turned on and the
brake pedal is released (brake lamp switch plunger is
depressed).
Concealed within the brake lamp switch housing
the components of the self-adjusting brake switch
plunger consist of a two-piece telescoping plunger, a
split plunger locking collar, and a release wedge. The
release lever has an integral shaft with a wedge that
spreads the plunger locking collar to an open or
released position. After the switch is installed and
the brake pedal is released, the plunger telescopes to
the correct adjustment position. When the release
lever is moved to the release position, the wedge is
disengaged from the locking collar causing the collar
to apply a clamping pressure to the two plunger
halves fixing the plunger length.
The brake lamp switch can be diagnosed using con-
ventional diagnostic tools and methods.

COMBINATION FLASHER
DESCRIPTION
The combination flasher for this model is integral
to the hazard switch located in the center of the
instrument panel, just above the radio. The combina-
tion flasher is a smart relay that functions as both
the turn signal system and the hazard warning sys-
tem flasher. The combination flasher contains active
electronic Integrated Circuitry (IC) elements. This
flasher is designed to handle the current flow
requirements of the factory-installed lighting. If sup-
plemental lighting is added to the turn signal lamp
circuits, such as when towing a trailer with lights,
the combination flasher will automatically try to
compensate to keep the flash rate the same.
The combination flasher cannot be repaired or
adjusted and, if faulty or damaged, the hazard switch
unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The combination flasher has the following inputs and
outputs: fused B(+), fused ignition switch output, right
turn signal sense, left turn signal sense, and one output
each for the right and left turn signal circuits. The com-
bination flasher also receives an internal input through
the closed contacts of the hazard switch and, on vehicles
equipped with the optional Vehicle Theft Security Sys-
tem (VTSS), the flasher receives an input from the Body
Control Module (BCM) in order to flash the turn signal
lamps as an optical alert feature of that system. Con-

stant battery voltage is supplied to the flasher so that it
can perform the hazard warning function, and ignition
switched battery voltage is supplied for the turn signal
function. The Integrated Circuit (IC) within the combi-
nation flasher contains the logic that controls the
flasher operation and the flash rate. The IC receives
separate sense ground inputs from the multi-function
switch for the right and left turn signals, and from the
hazard switch contacts or the BCM for the hazard
warning signals. A special design feature of the combi-
nation flasher allows it to9sense9that a turn signal cir-
cuit or bulb is not operating, and provide the driver an
indication of the condition by flashing the remaining
bulbs in the affected circuit at a higher rate (120 flash-
es-per-minute or higher). Conventional flashers either
continue flashing at their typical rate (heavy-duty type),
or discontinue flashing the affected circuit entirely
(standard-duty type).
Because of the active electronic elements within
the combination flasher, it cannot be tested with con-
ventional automotive electrical test equipment. If the
combination flasher is believed to be faulty, test the
turn signal and hazard warning system. Then
replace the hazard switch with a known good unit to
confirm system operation.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP
RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) relay (Fig. 8) is
a solid state relay that is used only on vehicles man-
ufactured for sale in Canada. The DRL relay features
a die cast aluminum housing with integral cooling
fins that act as a heat sink for the solid state DRL
circuitry. Four male spade terminals extend from the
base of the relay through a potting material that
encloses and protects the DRL circuitry. Although the
DRL relay has four terminals that are laid out in a
footprint that is similar to that of a conventional
International Standards Organization (ISO) relay, a
standard ISO relay should never be installed in place
of the DRL relay. The DRL relay is installed in the
Junction Block (JB) on the driver side outboard end
of the instrument panel. Vehicles equipped with this
relay do not have a headlamp high beam relay
installed in the JB.
The DRL relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, the unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) relay is a solid
state relay that controls the flow of battery current
to the high beam filaments of both headlamp bulbs
based upon a duty cycled control input received from
the Body Control Module (BCM) of vehicles equipped
with the DRL feature. By cycling the DRL relay out-
put, the BCM controls the illumination intensity of
the high beam filaments. The DRL relay terminals
are connected to the vehicle electrical system through
a connector receptacle in the Junction Block (JB).
The inputs and outputs of the DRL relay include:
²Battery Current Input- The DRL relay
receives battery current on a fused B(+) circuit from
a fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
²Ground Input- The DRL relay receives a path
to ground through a splice block located in the
instrument panel wire harness with an eyelet termi-
nal connector that is secured by a nut to a ground
stud on the driver side instrument panel end bracket
near the Junction Block (JB).
²Control Input- The DRL relay control input is
received from the BCM and/or the momentary optical
horn (flash-to-pass) output of the multi-function
switch through a high beam relay control circuit.
²Control Output- The DRL relay supplies bat-
tery current output to the headlamp high beam fila-
ments through the high beam relay output circuit.
Because of active electronic elements within the
DRL relay, it cannot be tested with conventional
automotive electrical test equipment. If the DRL
relay is believed to be faulty, replace the relay with a
known good unit to confirm system operation.

HAZARD SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The hazard switch is integral to the hazard switch
module, which is secured near the center of instrument
panel just above the radio (Fig. 21). Only the hazard
switch button is visible through a dedicated, round, bev-
eled opening on the outer surface of the instrument
panel between the two center panel outlets of the heater
and air conditioning system. A red, stencil-like Interna-
tional Control and Display Symbol icon for ªHazard
Warningº identifies the hazard switch button. On the
opposite end of the black, molded plastic hazard switch
module housing from the switch button is an integral
connector receptacle and a stamped steel mounting
bracket with two latch feature tabs that extend down-
ward, while a short dowel-like alignment pin is integral
to each side of the housing just below the switch button.
The switch module is connected to the vehicle electrical
system through a dedicated take out and connector of
the instrument panel wire harness. Within the hazard
switch module housing is the hazard switch circuitry
and an electronic circuit board with the integral combi-
nation flasher circuitry. The electronic combination
flasher circuitry performs both the hazard flasher and
turn signal flasher functions.
The hazard switch module cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The hazard switch button is slightly recessed in the
instrument panel when the switch is in the Off position,
and latches at a position that is flush with the outer
surface of the instrument panel when in the On posi-tion. The hazard switch module produces an audible
clicking sound that emulates the sound of a conven-
tional flasher whenever the turn signals or the hazard
warning system are activated. The hazard switch mod-
ule receives battery current on a fused B(+) circuit from
a fuse in the Junction Block (JB) at all times for oper-
ation of the hazard warning, and on a fused ignition
switch output (run) circuit from another fuse in the JB
whenever the ignition switch is in the On position for
operation of the turn signals. The module receives a
path to ground through a splice block located in the
instrument panel wire harness with an eyelet terminal
connector that is secured by a nut to a ground stud on
the driver side instrument panel end bracket near the
JB. Inputs to and outputs from the hazard switch mod-
ule include:
²Panel Lamps Dimmer Input- A non-service-
able incandescent bulb soldered onto the hazard
switch module circuit board provides illumination of
the switch button when the exterior lighting is
turned On through an input received on the fused
panel lamps dimmer switch signal circuit. However,
this bulb flashes on and off at full intensity whenever
the hazard switch button is in the On position,
regardless of the status of the exterior lighting.
²Hazard Switch Input- The combination
flasher circuitry of the hazard switch module receives
an internal ground input from the hazard switch to
request hazard flasher operation.
²Multi-Function Switch Input- The combina-
tion flasher circuitry of the hazard switch module
receives separate ground inputs from the turn signal
switch circuitry of the multi-function switch on right
and left turn switch sense circuits to request right or
left turn signal flasher operation.
²Body Control Module Input- The Body Con-
trol Module (BCM) can request hazard flasher opera-
tion by providing a ground path to the combination
flasher circuitry of the hazard switch module through
a hazard lamp control circuit.
²Turn Signal Output- The combination flasher
circuitry within the hazard switch module responds
to the flasher request inputs by energizing and
de-energizing two miniature relays on the module
circuit board. These relays control the switch output
through the right and left turn signal circuits. One
relay controls the right lamps, while the other con-
trols the left.
Because of active electronic elements within the
hazard switch module, it cannot be tested with con-
ventional automotive electrical test equipment. If the
hazard switch module is believed to be faulty, replace
the switch with a known good unit to confirm system
operation.

OPERATION
The controller board and logic circuitry of the
headlamp leveling motor will energize the motor and
extend or retract the motor pushrod through the
integral screw-drive transmission based upon the
voltage signal input received from the resistor multi-
plexed headlamp leveling switch. The ball formation
on the end of the headlamp leveling motor pushrod is
snapped into a socket formation on the back of the
movable reflector within the headlamp unit housing.
The headlamp leveling motors and switch have a
path to ground at all times. The headlamp leveling
components operate on battery current received
through the fused park lamp relay output circuit so
that the system will only operate when the exterior
lighting is turned On.
Because of active electronic elements within the
headlamp leveling motor, it cannot be tested with
conventional automotive electrical test equipment. If
the headlamp leveling motor is believed to be faulty,
replace the motor with a known good unit to confirm
system operation.

HEADLAMP LEVELING
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The headlamp leveling switch (Fig. 34) is used only
on vehicles manufactured for certain markets where
the headlamp leveling system is required. The head-
lamp leveling switch is mounted in the driver side
inboard trim bezel on the instrument panel, where it
is secured by molded latch features that are integral
to the switch housing. Only the switch bezel and
thumbwheel are visible on the outer surface of the
instrument panel trim bezel. The black plastic switch
thumbwheel is marked with white numbers ª0,º ª1,º
ª2,º and ª3,º each of which indicates one of the four
switch detent positions. Each higher number repre-sents a lower aiming position of the headlamp beam
relative to the road surface. The black, molded plas-
tic switch housing has an integral connector recepta-
cle on the back, a single latch feature on the top, and
two latch features (one on each side) on the bottom.
The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical sys-
tem through a dedicated take out and connector of
the instrument panel wire harness. Within the
switch housing is the leveling switch circuitry includ-
ing the switch contacts and a series resistor configu-
ration.
The headlamp leveling switch cannot be adjusted
or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must
be replaced.
OPERATION
The headlamp leveling switch receives battery cur-
rent on a fused park lamp relay output circuit from a
fuse in the Junction Block (JB) whenever the park
lamp relay is energized (park lamps are turned On).
The switch receives a path to ground through a splice
block located in the instrument panel wire harness
with an eyelet terminal connector that is secured by
a nut to a ground stud on the driver side instrument
panel end bracket near the JB. The only output from
the switch is a voltage signal that it provides to the
headlamp leveling motors on a headlamp adjust sig-
nal circuit. Each switch position selects a different
tap on a series resistor within the switch to provide a
different voltage signal to the leveling motors. The
higher the switch position number, the higher the
output voltage level.
The headlamp leveling switch can be tested using
conventional diagnostic tools and methods.

The multi-function switch uses a combination of
resistor multiplexed and conventionally switched out-
puts to control the many functions and features it
provides. The switch receives battery current on a
fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit from a
fuse in the Junction Block (JB) whenever the ignition
switch is in the On or Accessory positions. The switch
receives a path to ground at all times through a
splice block located in the instrument panel wire har-
ness with an eyelet terminal connector that is
secured by a nut to a ground stud on the driver side
instrument panel end bracket near the Junction
Block (JB). Following are descriptions of how each of
the two multi-function switch control stalks operate
to control the functions and features they provide.
LEFT CONTROL STALK The left (lighting) control
stalk of the multi-function switch operates as follows:
²Front Fog Lamps- For vehicles so equipped,
the control knob on the end of the multi-function
switch left (lighting) control stalk is pulled outward
to activate the optional front fog lamps. The control
knob is mechanically keyed so that it cannot be
pulled outward unless it is first rotated to turn on
the exterior lighting. The multi-function switch pro-
vides a resistor multiplexed output to the Body Con-
trol Module (BCM) on a fog lamp switch sense
circuit, and the BCM responds by energizing or de-
energizing the front fog lamp relay in the Junction
Block (JB) as required.
²Headlamps- The control knob on the end of
the multi-function switch left (lighting) control stalk
is rotated forward (counterclockwise) to its second
detent position to activate the headlamps. The multi-
function switch provides a resistor multiplexed out-
put to the Body Control Module (BCM) on a
headlamp switch sense circuit, and the BCM
responds by energizing or de-energizing the selected
low or high beam relay (Daytime Running Lamp
relay in Canadian vehicles) in the Junction Block
(JB) as required.
²Headlamp Beam Selection- The left (lighting)
control stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled
towards the steering wheel past a detent to actuate
the integral beam select switch circuitry. Each time
the control stalk is activated in this manner, the
opposite headlamp beam from what is currently
selected will be energized. The multi-function switch
provides a ground output to the Body Control Module
(BCM) on a high beam switch sense circuit, and the
BCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the
selected low or high beam relay (Daytime Running
Lamp relay in Canadian vehicles) in the Junction
Block (JB) as required.
²Headlamp Optical Horn- The left (lighting)
control stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled
