MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The multi-function switch is located on the steering
column, just below the steering wheel (Fig. 50). The
only visible components of the multi-function switch
are two levers, or control stalks that extend through
dedicated openings in each side of the steering col-
umn shrouds. The remainder of the switch, its
mounting provisions, and its electrical connections
are all concealed beneath the steering column
shrouds. The switch housing and controls are con-
structed of molded black plastic. A saddle-like forma-
tion in the center of the multi-function switch
housing straddles the steering column tube just
below the column lock housing, and two posts inte-
gral to the lower surface of the switch housing
engage two holes on the forward-facing side of the
lock housing. Two integral ledge-like locating tabs
near the top of the rearward facing switch housing
surface are supported and located by two upright
stanchions that extend upward from the top of the
lock housing. Also on the rearward facing switch
housing surface near the center, an integral ledge-
like mounting tab rests on a similar ledge-like tab
that extends from each side of the steering column
lock housing. When the steering column shrouds are
installed on the column, the switch mounting tabs
are clamped along with the mounting tabs of the
clockspring between the integral mounting stan-
chions of the upper shroud and the lock housing tabs,
and are secured to the steering column lock housing
by the same two screws that secure the two shroud
halves to each other and the column.
There are several versions of the multi-function
switch to support both optional equipment and equip-
ment that is required only in certain markets. Each
multi-function switch control stalk has both white
nomenclature and International Control and Display
Symbol graphics applied to it, which clearly identify
its many functions. Each control stalk has a control
knob on its end with a flattened face to allow it to be
easily rotated. On vehicles equipped with optional
front fog lamps, the knob on the end of left control

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-

PARK LAMP RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The park lamp relay is located in the Junction
Block (JB) below the driver side outboard end of the
instrument panel in the passenger compartment of
the vehicle. The park lamp relay is a conventional
International Standards Organization (ISO) micro
relay (Fig. 53). Relays conforming to the ISO specifi-
cations have common physical dimensions, current
capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal functions.
The relay is contained within a small, rectangular,
molded plastic housing and is connected to all of therequired inputs and outputs by five integral male
spade-type terminals that extend from the bottom of
the relay base.
The park lamp relay cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The park lamp relay is an electromechanical
switch that uses a low current input from the Body
Control Module (BCM) to control a high current out-
put to the park lamps. The movable common feed
contact point is held against the fixed normally
closed contact point by spring pressure. When the
relay coil is energized, an electromagnetic field is
produced by the coil windings. This electromagnetic
field draws the movable relay contact point away
from the fixed normally closed contact point, and
holds it against the fixed normally open contact
point. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring
pressure returns the movable contact point back
against the fixed normally closed contact point. A
resistor is connected in parallel with the relay coil in
the relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and
electromagnetic interference that can be generated as
the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The park lamp relay terminals are connected to
the vehicle electrical system through a connector
receptacle in the Junction Block (JB). The inputs and
outputs of the headlamp low beam relay include:
²Common Feed Terminal- The common feed
terminal (30) is connected to the park lamps through
the park lamp relay output circuit and provides
ground to the park lamps when the relay is de-ener-
gized, and battery current to the park lamps when-
ever the relay is energized.
²Coil Ground Terminal- The coil ground termi-
nal (85) is connected to a control output of the Body
Control Module (BCM) through a park lamp relay
control circuit. The BCM controls park lamp opera-
tion by controlling a ground path through this cir-
cuit.
²Coil Battery Terminal- The coil battery ter-
minal (86) receives battery current at all times from
a fuse in the PDC through a fused B(+) circuit.
²Normally Open Terminal- The normally open
terminal (87) receives battery current at all times
from a fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
through a fused B(+) circuit.
²Normally Closed Terminal- The normally
closed terminal (87A) is connected to ground at all
times through a ground circuit that receives 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

OPERATION
The rear fog lamp relay is an electromechanical
switch that uses a low current input from the Body
Control Module (BCM) to control a high current out-
put to the rear fog lamps. The movable common feed
contact point is held against the fixed normally
closed contact point by spring pressure. When the
relay coil is energized, an electromagnetic field is
produced by the coil windings. This electromagnetic
field draws the movable relay contact point away
from the fixed normally closed contact point, and
holds it against the fixed normally open contact
point. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring
pressure returns the movable contact point back
against the fixed normally closed contact point. A
resistor is connected in parallel with the relay coil in
the relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and
electromagnetic interference that can be generated as
the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The rear fog lamp relay terminals are connected to
the vehicle electrical system through a connector
receptacle in the Junction Block (JB). The inputs and
outputs of the rear fog lamp relay include:
²Common Feed Terminal- The common feed
terminal (30) receives battery current at all times
from a fuse in the JB through a fused B(+) circuit.
²Coil Ground Terminal- The coil ground termi-
nal (85) is connected to a control output of the pre-
mium Body Control Module (BCM) through a rear
fog lamp relay control circuit. The BCM controls rear
fog lamp operation by controlling a ground path
through this circuit.
²Coil Battery Terminal- The coil battery ter-
minal (86) receives battery current at all times from
a fuse in the JB through a fused B(+) circuit.
²Normally Open Terminal- The normally open
terminal (87) is connected to the rear fog lamps
through a rear fog lamp relay output circuit and pro-
vides battery current to the rear fog lamps whenever
the relay is energized.
²Normally Closed Terminal- The normally
closed terminal (87A) is not connected in this appli-
cation.
The rear fog lamp relay can be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and methods.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REAR FOG LAMP
RELAY
The rear fog lamp relay (Fig. 57) is located in the
Junction Block (JB) under the driver side outboard
end of the instrument panel. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information. The wiring information includes
wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair
procedures, details of wire harness routing and
retention, connector pin-out information and locationviews for the various wire harness connectors, splices
and grounds.
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.
(1) Remove the rear fog lamp relay from the JB.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING -
EXTERIOR/REAR FOG LAMP RELAY - REMOVAL).
(2) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and
no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (elec-
tromagnet) should be 75   8 ohms. If OK, go to Step
4. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(4) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
