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

The heated seat module monitors inputs from the
heated seat sensors and the heated seat switches. In
response to these inputs the heated seat module uses
its internal programming to control outputs to the
heated seat elements in both front seats and to con-
trol the heated seat LED indicator lamps located in
both of the heated seat switches. The heated seat
module is also programmed to provide self-diagnostic
capability. When the module detects certain failures
within the heated seat system, it will provide a
visual indication of the failure by flashing the indica-
tor lamps in the affected heated seat switch. The
heated seat module will automatically turn off the
heated seat elements if it detects a short or open in
the heated seat element circuit or a heated seat sen-
sor value that is out of range.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT
SYSTEM
HEATED SEAT SYSTEM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
The heated seat system is capable of performing
some self-diagnostics. The following table depicts the
various monitored failures which will be reported to
the vehicle operator or technician by flashing the
individual heated seat switch Light Emitting Diode
(LED) indicator lamps. Refer to the Heated Seat Sys-
tem Self-Diagnosis table for failure identification.
The driver side heated seat switch indicator lamps
will flash if a failure occurs in the driver side heated
seat, and the passenger side heated seat switch indi-
cator lamps will flash for a passenger side heated
seat failure. If a monitored heated seat system fail-
ure occurs, the switch indicator lamps will flash at a
pulse rate of about one-half second on, followed by
about one-half second off for a duration of about one
minute after the switch for the faulty heated seat is
depressed in either the Low or High direction. This
process will repeat every time the faulty heated seat
switch is actuated until the problem has been cor-
rected.

HEATED SEAT SYSTEM TESTING
Refer toWiring Diagramsfor the location of com-
plete heated seat system wiring diagrams. Before
testing the individual components in the heated seat
system, perform the following preliminary checks:
²If a single indicator lamp for one heated seat
switch does not operate and the heated seat elements
do heat, refer toDiagnosis and Testing the
Heated Seat Switchin this section for the location
of heated seat switch diagnosis and testing proce-
dures.
²If both indicator lamps for a heated seat switch
operate, but the heated seat elements do not heat,
refer toDiagnosis and Testing the Heated Seat
Modulein Electronic Control Modules for the loca-
tion of heated seat module diagnosis and testing pro-
cedures.
²If an indicator lamp on either heated seat switch
remains illuminated after the heated seat has been
turned Off, refer toDiagnosis and Testing the
Heated Seat Modulein Electronic Control Modules
for the location of heated seat module diagnosis and
testing procedures. Also refer to the Body Diagnostic
Manual for additional diagnosis and testing proce-
dures.
DRIVER SEAT HEATER
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat switches are located on the out-
board cushion side shield of the driver and passenger
front seats (Fig. 1). The two, three-position rocker
type switches provide a resistor multiplexed signal to
the Heated Seat Module through separate hard wired
circuits. Each switch has an Off, Low and High set-
ting. Each switch contains two light emitting diodes
(LED), one for each High and Low setting to let the
occupant know that the seat heater system is on.
The heated seat switches and their LED's cannot
be repaired. If either switch is faulty or damaged the
entire switch must be replaced.
KJHEATED SEAT SYSTEM 8G - 11
HEATED SEAT SYSTEM (Continued)

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).

HEATED SEAT ELEMENT
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat system includes four seat heating
elements. Two are located in each front seat, one for
the seat cushion and the other for the seat back. All
models use two resistor wire heating elements for
each seat that are connected in series with the
Heated Seat Module (HSM). The temperature sensor
is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) ther-
mistor. One temperature sensor is used for each seat,
and it is located on the seat cushion heating element
for all models.
The seat heating elements are permanently
attached to the seat cushions. The heated seat ele-
ments and the temperature sensor cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
seat cushions must be replaced. Refer to the Body
section for the seat cushion service procedures.
OPERATION
The heated seat elements resist the flow of electrical
current. When battery current is passed through the
elements, the energy lost by the resistance of the ele-
ments to the current flow is released in the form of
heat. When the temperature of the seat cushion cover
rises, the resistance of the sensor decreases. The Heated
Seat Module supplies a five-volt current to one side of
each sensor, and monitors the voltage drop through the
sensor on a return circuit. The Heated Seat Module
uses this temperature sensor input to monitor the tem-
perature of the seat, and regulates the current flow to
the seat heating elements accordingly.

PASSENGER SEAT HEATER
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat switches are located on the out-
board cushion side shield of the driver and passenger
front seats (Fig. 3). The two, three-position rocker
type switches provide a resistor multiplexed signal to
the Heated Seat Module through separate hard wired
circuits. Each switch has an Off, Low and High set-
ting. Each switch contains two light emitting diodes
(LED), one for each High and Low setting to let the
occupant know that the seat heater system is on.
The heated seat switches and their LED's cannot
be repaired. If either switch is faulty or damaged the
entire switch must be replaced.
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 fullydepressed, 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).

AUTO SHUT DOWN RELAY
DESCRIPTION - PCM OUTPUT
The 5±pin, 12±volt, Automatic Shutdown (ASD)
relay is located in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC). Refer to label on PDC cover for relay location.
OPERATION
OPERATION - ASD SENSE - PCM INPUT
A 12 volt signal at this input indicates to the PCM
that the ASD has been activated. The relay is used to
connect the oxygen sensor heater elements, oxygen
sensor heater relay, ignition coil and fuel injectors to
12 volt + power supply.
This input is used only to sense that the ASD relay
is energized. If the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) does not see 12 volts at this input when the
ASD should be activated, it will set a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC).
OPERATION - PCM OUTPUT
The ASD relay supplies battery voltage (12+ volts)
to the fuel injectors and ignition coil(s). With certain
emissions packages it also supplies 12±volts to the
oxygen sensor heating elements and the oxygen sen-
sor heater relay.
The ground circuit for the coil within the ASD
relay is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM operates the ASD relay by switch-
ing its ground circuit on and off.
The ASD relay will be shut±down, meaning the
12±volt power supply to the ASD relay will be de-ac-
tivated by the PCM if the ignition key is left in the
ON position. This is if the engine has not been run-
ning for approximately 1.8 seconds.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ASD AND FUEL
PUMP RELAYS
The following description of operation and
tests apply only to the Automatic Shutdown
(ASD) and fuel pump relays. The terminals on the
bottom of each relay are numbered. Two different
types of relays may be used, (Fig. 2) or (Fig. 3).
²Terminal number 30 is connected to battery volt-
age. For both the ASD and fuel pump relays, termi-
nal 30 is connected to battery voltage at all times.
²The PCM grounds the coil side of the relay
through terminal number 85.
²Terminal number 86 supplies voltage to the coil
side of the relay.
²When the PCM de-energizes the ASD and fuel
pump relays, terminal number 87A connects to termi-
nal 30. This is the Off position. In the off position,voltage is not supplied to the rest of the circuit. Ter-
minal 87A is the center terminal on the relay.
²When the PCM energizes the ASD and fuel
pump relays, terminal 87 connects to terminal 30.
This is the On position. Terminal 87 supplies voltage
to the rest of the circuit.
The following procedure applies to the ASD and
fuel pump relays.
(1) Remove relay from connector before testing.
(2) With the relay removed from the vehicle, use
an ohmmeter to check the resistance between termi-
nals 85 and 86. The resistance should be 75 ohms +/-
5 ohms.
(3) Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 30
and 87A. The ohmmeter should show continuity
between terminals 30 and 87A.

perform its many functions. The EMIC module incor-
porates a blue-green digital Vacuum Fluorescent Dis-
play (VFD) for displaying odometer and trip
odometer information, as well as several warning
messages and certain diagnostic information. In addi-
tion to instrumentation and indicators, the EMIC has
the hardware and software needed to provide the fol-
lowing features:
²Chime Warning Service- A chime tone gener-
ator on the EMIC electronic circuit board provides
audible alerts to the vehicle operator and eliminates
the need for a separate chime module. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/CHIME WARNING SYSTEM -
DESCRIPTION).
²Panel Lamps Dimming Service- The EMIC
provides a hard wired 12-volt Pulse-Width Modulated
(PWM) output that synchronizes the dimming level
of the radio display, gear selector indicator, heater-air
conditioner control, and all other dimmable lighting
on the panel lamps dimmer circuit with that of the
cluster illumination lamps and VFD.
The EMIC houses four analog gauges and has pro-
visions for up to twenty-four indicators (Fig. 2). The
EMIC includes the following analog gauges:
²Coolant Temperature Gauge
²Fuel Gauge
²Speedometer
²Tachometer
Some of the EMIC indicators are automatically
configured when the EMIC is connected to the vehi-
cle electrical system for compatibility with certain
optional equipment or equipment required for regula-
tory purposes in certain markets. While each EMIC
may have provisions for indicators to support every
available option, the configurable indicators will not
be functional in a vehicle that does not have the
equipment that an indicator supports. The EMIC
includes provisions for the following indicators (Fig.
2):
²Airbag Indicator (with Airbag System only)
²Antilock Brake System (ABS) Indicator
(with ABS only)

Each indicator in the EMIC is illuminated by a
dedicated Light Emitting Diode (LED) that is sol-
dered onto the EMIC electronic circuit board. The
LEDs are not available for service replacement and,
if damaged or faulty, the entire EMIC must be
replaced. Cluster illumination is accomplished by
dimmable incandescent back lighting, which illumi-
nates the gauges for visibility when the exterior
lighting is turned on. Each of the incandescent bulbs
is secured by an integral bulb holder to the electronic
circuit board from the back of the cluster housing.
The incandescent bulb/bulb holder units are available
for service replacement.
Hard wired circuitry connects the EMIC to the
electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired cir-
cuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which
are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by
many different methods. These circuits may be con-
nected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system
and to the EMIC 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 infor-
mation. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
further details on wire harness routing and reten-
tion, as well as pin-out and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
The EMIC modules for this model are serviced only
as complete units. The EMIC module cannot be
adjusted or repaired. If a gauge, an LED indicator,
the VFD, the electronic circuit board, the circuit
board hardware, the cluster overlay, or the EMIC
housing are damaged or faulty, the entire EMIC mod-
ule must be replaced. The cluster lens, hood and
mask unit and the individual incandescent lamp
bulbs with holders are available for service replace-
ment.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (Continued)

The turn signal indicators are connected in parallel
with the other turn signal circuits. This arrangement
allows the turn signal indicators to remain func-
tional, regardless of the condition of the other cir-
cuits in the turn signal and hazard warning systems.
The combination flasher outputs of the hazard switch
to the instrument cluster turn signal indicator inputs
can be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools
and methods. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/
LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/HAZARD SWITCH -
DESCRIPTION) for more information on the combi-
nation flasher and hazard switch operation.
WAIT-TO-START INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A wait-to-start indicator is only found in the
instrument clusters of vehicles equipped with an
optional diesel engine. The wait-to-start indicator is
located above the fuel gauge and to the left of the
tachometer in the instrument cluster. The wait-to-
start indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the
International Control and Display Symbol icon for
ªDiesel Preheatº in the opaque layer of the instru-
ment cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the
overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly vis-
ible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light
Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the
opaque layer of the overlay causes the icon to appear
in amber through the translucent outer layer of the
overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the
LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board. The wait-to-start indicator is
serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
OPERATION
The wait-to-start indicator gives an indication to
the vehicle operator when the diesel engine glow
plugs are energized in their pre-heat operating mode.
This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board based
upon the cluster programming and electronic mes-
sages received by the cluster from the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus. The wait-to-
start 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 willturn on the wait-to-start indicator for the following
reasons:
²Wait-To-Start Lamp-On Message- Each time
the cluster receives a wait-to-start lamp-on message
from the PCM indicating the glow plugs are heating
and the driver must wait to start the engine, the
wait-to-start indicator will be illuminated. The indi-
cator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
wait-to-start 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 wait-to-start 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 ambient tem-
perature and the glow plug pre-heater circuits to
determine how long the glow plugs must be heated in
the pre-heat operating mode. The PCM then sends
the proper wait-to-start lamp-on and lamp-off mes-
sages to the instrument cluster. For further diagnosis
of the wait-to-start indicator or the instrument clus-
ter circuitry that controls the indicator, (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNO-
SIS AND TESTING). For proper diagnosis of the
glow plug pre-heater control circuits, the PCM, the
PCI data bus, or the electronic message inputs to the
instrument cluster that control the wait-to-start indi-
cator, a DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.
WASHER FLUID INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A washer fluid indicator is standard equipment on
all instrument clusters. The washer fluid indicator
consists of the text ªlowashº, which appears in place
of the odometer/trip odometer information in the Vac-
uum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) of the instrument
cluster. The VFD is part of the cluster electronic cir-
cuit board, and is visible through a cutout located
near the lower edge of the speedometer dial face in
the instrument cluster. The dark outer layer of the
overlay prevents the VFD from being clearly visible
when it is not illuminated. The text message
ªlowashº appears in the same blue-green color and at
the same lighting level as the odometer/trip odometer
information through the translucent outer layer of
the overlay when it is illuminated by the instrument
cluster electronic circuit board. The washer fluid
indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument
cluster.
