OPERATION
The washer fluid indicator gives an indication to
the vehicle operator that the fluid level in the washer
reservoir is low. This indicator is controlled by the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board based
upon cluster programming and a hard wired input
received by the cluster from the washer fluid level
switch mounted on the washer reservoir. The washer
fluid indicator function of the Vacuum Fluorescent
Display (VFD) is completely controlled by the instru-
ment cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only
allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused
ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore,
the LED will always be off when the ignition switch
is in any position except On or Start. The instrument
cluster will turn on the washer fluid indicator for the
following reasons:
²Washer Fluid Level Switch Input- Each time
the cluster detects ground on the low washer fluid
sense circuit (washer fluid level switch closed =
washer fluid level low) the cluster applies an algo-
rithm to confirm that the input is correct and not the
result of fluid sloshing in the washer reservoir. The
cluster tests the status of the circuit about seven mil-
liseconds after ignition On, and about once every sec-
ond thereafter, then uses an internal counter to
count up or down. When the counter accumulates
thirty ground inputs on the circuit, the washer fluid
indicator will be illuminated. If the vehicle is not
moving when the washer fluid level switch input
counter reaches thirty, the VFD will repeatedly and
sequentially cycle its indication in two second inter-
vals with the odometer/trip odometer information,
the low washer fluid warning, and any other active
warnings including: door ajar, gate ajar, and glass
ajar. If the vehicle is moving, or once the cluster of a
non-moving vehicle receives an electronic vehicle
speed message from the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) indicating a speed greater than zero, the
warning sequence will consist of three complete dis-
play cycles, then revert to only the odometer/trip
odometer display. Once the washer fluid indicator
warning has completed, the washer fluid indicator is
extinguished and will not repeat until the ignition
switch is cycled.
The instrument cluster continually monitors the
washer fluid level switch in the washer reservoir to
determine the status of the washer fluid level. For
further diagnosis of the washer fluid indicator or the
instrument cluster circuitry that controls the indica-
tor, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). The
washer fluid level switch and circuits can be diag-
nosed using conventional diagnostic tools and meth-
ods. The washer fluid level switch also features a 3.3kilohm diagnostic resistor connected in parallel
between the switch input and output to provide the
cluster with verification that the low washer fluid
sense circuit is not open or shorted. This input can
be monitored using a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WASHER FLUID
INDICATOR
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative
washer fluid indicator condition. If the problem being
diagnosed is related to indicator accuracy, be certain
to confirm that the problem is with the indicator or
washer fluid level switch input and not with a dam-
aged or empty washer fluid reservoir, or inoperative
instrument cluster indicator control circuitry. Inspect
the washer fluid reservoir for proper fluid level and
signs of damage or distortion that could affect
washer fluid level switch performance and perform
the instrument cluster actuator test before you pro-
ceed with the following diagnosis. If no washer fluid
reservoir or instrument cluster control circuitry prob-
lem is found, the following procedure will help to
locate a short or open in the washer fluid switch
sense circuit. Refer to the appropriate wiring infor-
mation. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connec-
tor pin-out information and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.

WATER-IN-FUEL INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A water-in-fuel indicator is only found in the
instrument clusters of vehicles equipped with an
optional diesel engine. The water-in-fuel indicator is
located above the coolant temperature gauge and to
the right of the speedometer in the instrument clus-
ter. The water-in-fuel indicator consists of a stencil-
like cutout of the International Control and Display
Symbol icon for ªWater In Fuelº in the opaque layer
of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer
layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red Light
Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the
opaque layer of the overlay causes the icon to appear
in red through the translucent outer layer of the
overlay when the indicator is illuminated from
behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board. Thewater-in-fuel indicator is serviced as a unit with the
instrument cluster.
OPERATION
The water-in-fuel indicator gives an indication to
the vehicle operator when there is excessive water in
the fuel system. This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board based upon cluster programming and elec-
tronic messages received by the cluster from the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Program-
mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus. The
water-in-fuel indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is
completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic
circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to
operate when the instrument cluster receives a bat-
tery current input on the fused ignition switch out-
put (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED will
always be off when the ignition switch is in any posi-
tion except On or Start. The LED only illuminates
when it is provided a path to ground by the instru-
ment cluster transistor. The instrument cluster will
turn on the water-in-fuel indicator for the following
reasons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the water-in-fuel indicator
is illuminated for about three seconds as a bulb test.
²Water-In-Fuel Lamp-On Message- Each time
the cluster receives a water-in-fuel lamp-on message
from the PCM indicating there is excessive water in
the diesel fuel system, the water-in-fuel indicator will
be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated
until the cluster receives a water-in-fuel lamp-off
message, or until the ignition switch is turned to the
Off position, whichever occurs first.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the water-in-fuel indicator
will be turned on, then off again during the bulb
check portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the water-in-fuel
sensor to determine whether there is excessive water
in the diesel fuel. The PCM then sends the proper
water-in-fuel lamp-on and lamp-off messages to the
instrument cluster. For further diagnosis of the
water-in-fuel indicator or the instrument cluster cir-
cuitry that controls the indicator, (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING). For proper diagnosis of the water-
in-fuel-sensor, the PCM, the PCI data bus, or the
electronic message inputs to the instrument cluster
that control the water-in-fuel indicator, a DRBIIIt
scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diag-
nostic information.

front of the vehicle. In certain markets where
required, a headlamp leveling actuator motor is
included on each headlamp.
²Park Lamps- The park lamps include the front
park lamps and front side marker lamps that are
integral to the front lamp units mounted at each end
of the bumper fascia at the front of the vehicle, as
well as the rear park lamps and rear side marker
lamps that are integral to the rear lamp units
mounted to the back of the quarter panel on each
side of the tailgate at the rear of the vehicle. The
park lamps include a license plate lamp or lamps,
depending upon the requirements of the market for
which the vehicle is manufactured. Vehicles with a
license plate tub located near the left end of the rear
bumper fascia have a single lamp, while vehicles
with a license plate module located on the spare tire
carrier have two license plate lamps. In certain mar-
kets where required, a front position lamp that is
integral to each headlamp unit is illuminated instead
of the front park lamps and front side marker lamps
in the park lamps circuit; and, a rectangular, red
reflector is located on the rear bumper fascia just
inboard and below each rear lamp unit.
²Rear Fog Lamps- Rear fog lamps are avail-
able only in certain markets where they are required
equipment. The rear fog lamps are integral to the
rear lamp units mounted to the back of the quarter
panel on each side of the tailgate at the rear of the
vehicle.
²Turn Signal Lamps- The turn signal lamps
include the front turn signal and front side marker
lamps that are integral to the front lamp units
mounted at each end of the bumper fascia at the
front of the vehicle, as well as rear turn signal lamps
that are integral to the rear lamp units mounted to
the back of the quarter panel on each side of the tail-
gate at the rear of the vehicle. In certain markets
where required, a repeater lamp unit mounted to
each front fender just behind the front wheel opening
is illuminated instead of the front side marker lamp
in each turn signal lamp circuit.
Other components of the exterior lighting system
for this model include:
²Combination Flasher- An electronic combina-
tion flasher is integral to the hazard warning switch
in the center of the instrument panel.
²Backup Lamp Switch- Vehicles equipped with
a manual transmission have a plunger-type backup
lamp switch located on the transmission housing. ATransmission Range Sensor (TRS) integral to the
solenoid pack on the valve body of the optional elec-
tronic automatic transmission performs the backup
lamp switch function on models that are so equipped.
²Brake Lamp Switch- A plunger-type brake
lamp switch is located on the steering column sup-
port bracket under the instrument panel and actu-
ated by the brake pedal arm.
²Body Control Module- The Body Control
Module (BCM) is located on the Junction Block (JB)
under the driver side outboard end of the instrument
panel. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
CONTROL MODULES/BODY CONTROL MODULE
- DESCRIPTION).
²Daytime Running Lamp Relay- Vehicles
manufactured for sale in Canada use a solid state
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) relay installed in the
Junction Block (JB) instead of the conventional high
beam relay.
²Front Fog Lamp Relay- Vehicles equipped
with the optional front fog lamps have a front fog
lamp relay located in the Junction Block (JB).
²Hazard Switch- The hazard switch is located
near the center of the instrument panel and includes
the integral electronic combination flasher circuitry
for the hazard warning system and the turn signal
system.
²Headlamp Leveling Motor- A headlamp lev-
eling actuator motor is located on the back of each
headlamp housing of vehicles manufactured for cer-
tain markets where this equipment is required.
²Headlamp Leveling Switch- A thumbwheel
actuated headlamp leveling switch is mounted in the
driver side inboard instrument panel trim bezel of
vehicles manufactured for certain markets where this
equipment is required.
²High Beam Relay- A high beam relay is
located in the Junction Block (JB) of all vehicles
except those that are manufactured for sale in Can-
ada. Canadian vehicles have a solid state Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL) relay in the JB instead of the
high beam relay.
²Low Beam Relay- A low beam relay is located
in the Junction Block (JB) of all vehicles.
²Multi-Function Switch- The multi-function
switch is located on the top of the steering column,
just below the steering wheel. The multi-function
switch includes a left (lighting) control stalk and a
right (wiper) control stalk. The left control stalk is
dedicated to providing almost all of the driver con-

DRL relay is energized, it provides battery current
from a fused B(+) fuse in the JB to the headlamp
high beam filament through the DRL relay output
circuit.
FRONT FOG LAMPS
Vehicles equipped with optional front fog lamps
have a premium Body Control Module (BCM), a front
fog lamp relay installed in the Junction Block (JB),
and a front fog lamp switch integral to the left (light-
ing) control stalk of the multi-function switch. The
front fog lamps have a path to ground at all times
through their connection to the front fascia wire har-
ness from two take outs of the headlamp and dash
wire harness with eyelet terminal connectors that
are secured by ground screws to the left inner fender
shield in the engine compartment. The BCM controls
front fog lamp operation by monitoring the exterior
lighting switch input from the multi-function switch,
then energizing or de-energizing the front fog lamp
relay control coil; and, by sending the appropriate
electronic message to the instrument cluster over the
Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus to turn the front fog lamp indicator on or off.
When the front fog lamp relay is energized, it pro-
vides battery current from a fused B(+) fuse in the
JB to the front fog lamps through the front fog lamp
relay output circuit. The BCM provides a battery
saver (load shedding) feature for the front fog lamps,
which will turn these lamps off if they are left on for
more than about eight minutes with the ignition
switch in the Off position. In certain markets where
required, the front fog lamps are also turned off by
the BCM whenever the headlamp high beams are
selected. Each front fog lamp includes an integral
adjustment screw to be used for static aiming the fog
lamp beams.
HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
With the hazard switch in the On position, the
hazard warning system is activated causing the haz-
ard switch button illumination lamp, the right and
left turn signal indicators, and the right and left turn
signal lamps to flash on and off. When the hazard
warning system is activated, the circuitry within the
hazard switch and electronic combination flasher
unit will repeatedly energize and de-energize two
internal relays that switch battery current from a
fused B(+) fuse in the Junction Block (JB) to the
right side and left side turn signal indicators, and
turn signal lamps through the right and left turn sig-
nal circuits. The flashing of the hazard switch button
illumination lamp is performed internally by the haz-
ard switch and combination flasher unit circuit
board. The hazard warning lamps can also be ener-
gized by the Body Control Module (BCM) through ahazard lamp control circuit input to the hazard
switch and combination flasher unit.
HEADLAMPS
The headlamp system includes the Body Control
Module (BCM), a low beam relay installed in the
Junction Block (JB), a high beam relay installed in
the JB (except Canada), a solid state Daytime Run-
ning Lamps (DRL) relay installed in the JB (Canada
only), and the exterior lighting (headlamp and dim-
mer) switches integral to the left (lighting) control
stalk of the multi-function switch. The headlamp
bulbs have a path to ground at all times through
their connection to the grille opening reinforcement
wire harness from two take outs of the headlamp and
dash wire harness with eyelet terminal connectors
that are secured by ground screws to the left inner
fender shield in the engine compartment. The BCM
controls the headlamp operation by monitoring the
exterior lighting switch inputs from the multi-func-
tion switch, then energizing or de-energizing the con-
trol coils of the low beam relay, the high beam relay,
or the solid state circuitry of the DRL relay; and, by
sending the appropriate electronic message to the
instrument cluster over the Programmable Commu-
nications Interface (PCI) data bus to turn the high
beam indicator on or off. When each respective relay
is energized, it provides battery current from a fused
B(+) fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
through a relay (low beam, high beam, or DRL) out-
put circuit and four separate fuses in the JB through
individual fused right and left, low and high beam
output circuits to the appropriate headlamp bulb fil-
aments. The BCM provides a battery saver (load
shedding) feature for the headlamps, which will turn
these lamps off if they are left on for more than
about eight minutes with the ignition switch in the
Off position; and, a headlamp delay feature with a
DRBIIItscan tool programmable delay interval.
Each headlamp includes an integral adjustment
screw to be used for static aiming of the headlamp
beams.
HEADLAMP LEVELING
In certain markets where required, a headlamp
leveling system is provided on the vehicle. The head-
lamp leveling system includes unique headlamp units
equipped with a headlamp leveling actuator motor,
and a rotary thumbwheel actuated headlamp leveling
switch on the instrument panel. The headlamp level-
ing system allows the headlamp beams to be
adjusted to one of four vertical positions to compen-
sate for changes in inclination caused by the loading
of the vehicle suspension. The actuator motors are
mechanically connected through an integral pushrod
to an adjustable headlamp reflector. The headlamp

stalk can also be pulled outward to select those
lamps. Each control stalk also features a knurled
control ring located just below the control knob. The
left control stalk is dedicated to providing driver con-
trols for the interior and exterior lighting systems,
while the right control stalk is dedicated to providing
driver controls for the front and rear wiper systems.
Two integral connector receptacles on the forward
facing surface of the multi-function switch housing
connect the switch two the vehicle electrical system
through two take outs and connectors of the instru-
ment panel wire harness. The left connector recepta-
cle contains nine terminal pins for the lighting
control circuits of the switch, while the right connec-
tor receptacle contains six terminal pins for the
wiper control circuits of the switch. The multi-func-
tion switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
LEFT CONTROL STALK The left (lighting) control
stalk of the multi-function switch supports the fol-
lowing functions and features:
²Front Fog Lamps- For vehicles so equipped,
the internal circuitry and hardware of the multi-
function switch left (lighting) control stalk provide
detent switching for the optional front fog lamps.
²Headlamps- The internal circuitry and hard-
ware of the multi-function switch left (lighting) con-
trol stalk provide detent switching for the
headlamps.²Headlamp Beam Selection- The internal cir-
cuitry and hardware of the multi-function switch left
(lighting) control stalk provide detent switching for
selection of the headlamp high or low beams.
²Headlamp Optical Horn- The internal cir-
cuitry and hardware of the multi-function switch left
(lighting) control stalk includes momentary switching
of the headlamp high beam circuits to provide an
optical horn feature (sometimes referred to as flash-
to-pass), which allows the vehicle operator to momen-
tarily flash the headlamp high beams as an optical
signalling device.
²Interior Lamps Defeat- The internal circuitry
and hardware of the multi-function switch left (light-
ing) control stalk provide detent switching to defeat
the illumination of all interior courtesy lamps when a
door, the rear flip-up glass, or the tailgate are
opened.
²Interior Lamps On- The internal circuitry and
hardware of the multi-function switch left (lighting)
control stalk provide detent switching to simulta-
neously illuminate all interior courtesy lamps.
²Panel Lamps Dimming- The internal cir-
cuitry and hardware of the multi-function switch left
(lighting) control stalk provide simultaneous adjust-
able control of the illumination intensity of all instru-
ment panel lighting at one of six available
illumination intensity levels.
²Parade Mode- The internal circuitry and hard-
ware of the multi-function switch left (lighting) con-

towards the steering wheel to just before a detent, to
momentarily activate the headlamp optical horn fea-
ture. The high beams will remain illuminated until
the control stalk is released. The multi-function
switch provides a ground output on a high beam
relay control circuit to energize the headlamp high
beam relay (Daytime Running Lamp relay in Cana-
dian vehicles) in the Junction Block (JB) as required.
²Interior Lamps Defeat- The control ring on
the multi-function switch left (lighting) control stalk
is rotated to a full rearward (clockwise) detent to
defeat the illumination of all interior courtesy lamps.
The multi-function switch provides a resistor multi-
plexed output to the Body Control Module (BCM) on
a panel lamps dimmer switch mux circuit, and the
BCM responds by de-energizing its internal courtesy
lamp driver circuit.
²Interior Lamps On- The control ring on the
multi-function switch left (lighting) control stalk is
rotated to a full forward (counterclockwise) detent to
illuminate all interior courtesy lamps. The multi-
function switch provides a resistor multiplexed out-
put to the Body Control Module (BCM) on a panel
lamps dimmer switch mux circuit, and the BCM
responds by energizing its internal courtesy lamp
driver circuit.
²Panel Lamps Dimming- The control ring on
the multi-function switch left (lighting) control stalk
is rotated to one of six minor intermediate detents to
simultaneously select the desired illumination inten-
sity of all adjustable instrument panel and instru-
ment cluster lighting. The control ring is rotated
rearward (clockwise) to dim, or forward (counter-
clockwise) to brighten. The multi-function switch pro-
vides a resistor multiplexed output to the Body
Control Module (BCM) on a panel lamps dimmer
switch mux circuit, and the BCM responds by send-
ing an electronic panel lamps dimming level message
to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
over the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus. The EMIC electronic circuitry then
provides the proper PWM output to the cluster illu-
mination lamps and the VFD on the EMIC circuit
board, then provides a matching PWM output on the
hard wired fused panel lamps dimmer switch signal
circuit.
²Parade Mode- The control ring on the multi-
function switch left (lighting) control stalk is rotated
to an intermediate detent that is one detent rear-
ward (clockwise) from the full forward (counterclock-
wise) detent to select the Parade mode. The multi-
function switch provides a resistor multiplexed
output to the Body Control Module (BCM) on a panel
lamps dimmer switch mux circuit, and the BCM
responds by sending an electronic panel lamps dim-
ming level message to the ElectroMechanical Instru-ment Cluster (EMIC) over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus. The EMIC
electronic circuitry then provides the proper PWM
output to the cluster illumination lamps and the
VFD on the EMIC circuit board, then provides a
matching PWM output on the hard wired fused panel
lamps dimmer switch signal circuit to illuminate all
lamps at full (daylight) intensity with the exterior
lamps turned On.
²Park Lamps- The control knob on the end of
the multi-function switch left (lighting) control stalk
is rotated forward (counterclockwise) to its first
detent from the Off position to activate the park
lamps. The multi-function switch provides a resistor
multiplexed output to the Body Control Module
(BCM) on a headlamp switch sense circuit, and the
BCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the
park lamp relay in the Junction Block (JB) as
required.
²Rear Fog Lamps- For vehicles so equipped,
the control knob on the end of the multi-function
switch left (lighting) control stalk is rotated forward
(counterclockwise) to its third detent position to acti-
vate the rear fog lamps. The multi-function switch
provides a resistor multiplexed output to the Body
Control Module (BCM) on a headlamp switch sense
circuit, and the BCM responds by energizing or de-
energizing the rear fog lamp relay in the Junction
Block (JB) as required. Rear fog lamps are optional
only for vehicles manufactured for certain markets,
where they are required.
²Turn Signal Control- The left (lighting) con-
trol stalk of the multi-function switch is moved
upward to activate the right turn signal circuitry,
and, downward to activate the left turn signal cir-
cuitry. The turn signal switch has a detent position
in each direction that provides turn signals with
automatic cancellation, and an intermediate, momen-
tary position in each direction that provides turn sig-
nals only until the left multi-function switch control
stalk is released. When the control stalk is moved to
a turn signal switch detent position, the cancel
actuator extends toward the center of the steering
column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to
the clockspring rotates with the steering wheel and
the cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is
extended from the left multi-function switch. When
the steering wheel is rotated during a turning
maneuver, one of the two turn signal cancel cam
lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The
cancel actuator latches against the cancel cam rota-
tion in the direction opposite that which is signaled.
In other words, if the left turn signal detent is
selected, the lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past
the cancel actuator when the steering wheel is
rotated to the left, but will unlatch the cancel actua-

system.
²Headlamp Leveling Motor- A headlamp lev-
eling actuator motor is located on the back of each
headlamp housing of vehicles manufactured for cer-
tain markets where this equipment is required.
²Headlamp Leveling Switch- A thumbwheel
actuated headlamp leveling switch is mounted in the
driver side inboard instrument panel trim bezel of
vehicles manufactured for certain markets where this
equipment is required.
²High Beam Relay- A high beam relay is
located in the Junction Block (JB) of all vehicles
except those that are manufactured for sale in Can-
ada. Canadian vehicles have a solid state Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL) relay in the JB instead of the
high beam relay.
²Low Beam Relay- A low beam relay is located
in the Junction Block (JB) of all vehicles.
²Multi-Function Switch- The multi-function
switch is located on the top of the steering column,
just below the steering wheel. The multi-function
switch includes a left (lighting) control stalk and a
right (wiper) control stalk. The left control stalk is
dedicated to providing almost all of the driver con-
trols for both the exterior and interior lighting sys-
tems.
²Park Lamp Relay- A park lamp relay is
located in the Junction Block (JB) of all vehicles.
²Rear Fog Lamp Relay- Vehicles manufac-
tured for certain markets where rear fog lamps are
required equipment have a rear fog lamp relay

FRONT FOG LAMPS
Vehicles equipped with optional front fog lamps
have a premium Body Control Module (BCM), a front
fog lamp relay installed in the Junction Block (JB),
and a front fog lamp switch integral to the left (light-
ing) control stalk of the multi-function switch. The
front fog lamps have a path to ground at all times
through their connection to the front fascia wire har-
ness from two take outs of the headlamp and dash
wire harness with eyelet terminal connectors that
are secured by ground screws to the left inner fender
shield in the engine compartment. The BCM controls
front fog lamp operation by monitoring the exterior
lighting switch input from the multi-function switch,
then energizing or de-energizing the front fog lamp
relay control coil; and, by sending the appropriate
electronic message to the instrument cluster over the
Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus to turn the front fog lamp indicator on or off.
When the front fog lamp relay is energized, it pro-
vides battery current from a fused B(+) fuse in the
JB to the front fog lamps through the front fog lamp
relay output circuit. The BCM provides a battery
saver (load shedding) feature for the front fog lamps,
which will turn these lamps off if they are left on for
more than about eight minutes with the ignition
switch in the Off position. In certain markets where
required, the front fog lamps are also turned off by
the BCM whenever the headlamp high beams are
selected. Each front fog lamp includes an integral
adjustment screw to be used for static aiming the fog
lamp beams.
HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
With the hazard switch in the On position, the
hazard warning system is activated causing the haz-
ard switch button illumination lamp, the right and
left turn signal indicators, and the right and left turn
signal lamps to flash on and off. When the hazard
warning system is activated, the circuitry within the
hazard switch and electronic combination flasher
unit will repeatedly energize and de-energize two
internal relays that switch battery current from a
fused B(+) fuse in the Junction Block (JB) to the
right side and left side turn signal indicators, and
turn signal lamps through the right and left turn sig-
nal circuits. The flashing of the hazard switch button
illumination lamp is performed internally by the haz-
ard switch and combination flasher unit circuit
board. The hazard warning lamps can also be ener-
gized by the Body Control Module (BCM) through a
hazard lamp control circuit input to the hazard
switch and combination flasher unit.HEADLAMPS
The headlamp system includes the Body Control
Module (BCM), a low beam relay installed in the
Junction Block (JB), a high beam relay installed in
the JB (except Canada), a solid state Daytime Run-
ning Lamps (DRL) relay installed in the JB (Canada
only), and the exterior lighting (headlamp and dim-
mer) switches integral to the left (lighting) control
stalk of the multi-function switch. The headlamp
bulbs have a path to ground at all times through
their connection to the grille opening reinforcement
wire harness from two take outs of the headlamp and
dash wire harness with eyelet terminal connectors
that are secured by ground screws to the left inner
fender shield in the engine compartment. The BCM
controls the headlamp operation by monitoring the
exterior lighting switch inputs from the multi-func-
tion switch, then energizing or de-energizing the con-
trol coils of the low beam relay, the high beam relay,
or the solid state circuitry of the DRL relay; and, by
sending the appropriate electronic message to the
instrument cluster over the Programmable Commu-
nications Interface (PCI) data bus to turn the high
beam indicator on or off. When each respective relay
is energized, it provides battery current from a fused
B(+) fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
through a relay (low beam, high beam, or DRL) out-
put circuit and four separate fuses in the JB through
individual fused right and left, low and high beam
output circuits to the appropriate headlamp bulb fil-
aments. The BCM provides a battery saver (load
shedding) feature for the headlamps, which will turn
these lamps off if they are left on for more than
about eight minutes with the ignition switch in the
Off position; and, a headlamp delay feature with a
DRBIIItscan tool programmable delay interval.
Each headlamp includes an integral adjustment
screw to be used for static aiming of the headlamp
beams.
HEADLAMP LEVELING
In certain markets where required, a headlamp
leveling system is provided on the vehicle. The head-
lamp leveling system includes unique headlamp units
equipped with a headlamp leveling actuator motor,
and a rotary thumbwheel actuated headlamp leveling
switch on the instrument panel. The headlamp level-
ing system allows the headlamp beams to be
adjusted to one of four vertical positions to compen-
sate for changes in inclination caused by the loading
of the vehicle suspension. The actuator motors are
mechanically connected through an integral pushrod
to an adjustable headlamp reflector. The headlamp
leveling switch is a resistor multiplexed unit that
provides one of four voltage outputs to the headlamp
leveling motors. The headlamp leveling motors will
