SPECIAL TOOLS
BATTERY TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) is attached
to the battery tray located under the battery.
OPERATION
The BTS is used to determine the battery temper-
ature and control battery charging rate. This temper-
ature data, along with data from monitored line
voltage, is used by the PCM to vary the battery
charging rate. System voltage will be higher at colder
temperatures and is gradually reduced at warmer
temperatures.
The PCM sends 5 volts to the sensor and is
grounded through the sensor return line. As temper-
ature increases, resistance in the sensor decreases
and the detection voltage at the PCM increases.The BTS is also used for OBD II diagnostics. Cer-
tain faults and OBD II monitors are either enabled
or disabled, depending upon BTS input (for example,
disable purge and enable Leak Detection Pump
(LDP) and O2 sensor heater tests). Most OBD II
monitors are disabled below 20 degrees F.
REMOVAL

GENERATOR
DESCRIPTION
The generator is belt-driven by the engine using a
serpentine type drive belt. It is serviced only as a
complete assembly. If the generator fails for any rea-
son, the entire assembly must be replaced.
OPERATION
As the energized rotor begins to rotate within the
generator, the spinning magnetic field induces a cur-
rent into the windings of the stator coil. Once the
generator begins producing sufficient current, it also
provides the current needed to energize the rotor.
The stator winding connections deliver the induced
AC current to 3 positive and 3 negative diodes for
rectification. From the diodes, rectified DC current is
delivered to the vehicle electrical system through the
generator battery terminal.
Although the generators appear the same exter-
nally, different generators with different output rat-
ings are used on this vehicle. Be certain that the
replacement generator has the same output rating
and part number as the original unit. Refer to Spec-
ifications and see Generator Ratings for amperage
ratings and part numbers.
Noise emitting from the generator may be caused
by: worn, loose or defective bearings; a loose or defec-
tive drive pulley; incorrect, worn, damaged or misad-
justed fan drive belt; loose mounting bolts; a
misaligned drive pulley or a defective stator or diode.

HEATED MIRRORS
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the optional heated mirror
package have an electric heating grid located behind
the mirror glass of each outside rear view mirror.
The heated mirrors are controlled by the rear win-
dow defogger switch. Electrical current is directed to
the heating grid inside the mirror only when the rear
window defogger switch is in the On position.
If the outside mirror heating grids and the rear
window heating grid are all inoperative, (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/HEATED GLASS - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). If the outside mirror heating grids are
inoperative, but the rear window heating grid is
operating as designed, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
HEATED MIRRORS - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
The heating grid behind each outside mirror glass
cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
entire power mirror unit must be replaced(Refer to 8
- ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/SIDEVIEW MIR-
ROR - REMOVAL) and (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
POWER MIRRORS/SIDEVIEW MIRROR -
INSTALLATION).
OPERATION
The heated mirror is controlled by the rear window
defogger switch. The only time that the heated mir-
ror is on is when the rear window defogger is on. The
mirror should become warm to the touch.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED MIRRORS
For circuit descriptions and diagrams (Refer to
Appropriate Wiring Information).
(1) Check the fuse in the junction block. If OK, go
to Step 2. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or
component as required and replace the faulty fuse.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the junction
block. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the open
circuit to the ignition switch as required.
(3) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Remove the front door trim panel on the side
of the vehicle with the inoperative mirror heating
grid. Unplug the wire harness connector at the mir-
ror. Check for continuity between the ground circuit
cavity in the body half of the power mirror wire har-
ness connector and a good ground. If OK, go to Step
4. If not OK, repair the open circuit to ground as
required.
(4) Connect the battery negative cable. Turn the
ignition switch to the On position. Turn on the rear
window defogger system. Check for battery voltage at
the rear window defogger relay output circuit cavity
in the body half of the power mirror wire harness
connector. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the
open circuit to the rear window defogger relay as
required.
KJHEATED SYSTEMS 8G - 1

(5) Check for continuity between the ground cir-
cuit and the rear window defogger relay output cir-
cuit cavities in the mirror half of the power mirror
wire harness connector. There should be continuity. If
not OK, replace the faulty power mirror(Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/SIDEVIEW MIR-
ROR - REMOVAL) and (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
POWER MIRRORS/SIDEVIEW MIRROR -
INSTALLATION). If OK, check the resistancethrough the electric heating grid circuit. Correct
resistance through the electric heating grid should be
from 10 to 16 ohms when measured at an ambient
temperature of 21É C (70É F). If not OK, replace the
faulty power mirror(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
POWER MIRRORS/SIDEVIEW MIRROR -
REMOVAL) and (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER

WINDOW DEFOGGER
DESCRIPTION - REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
The rear window defogger system will only operate
when the ignition switch is in the run position. When
the defogger switch is in the run position, an electric
heater grid on the rear window glass is energized.
Vehicles with the heated mirror options also have
heater grids located behind the outside rear view
mirror glass. Each of these grids produce heat to help
clear the rear window glass and outside rear view
mirrors of ice, snow, or fog.
OPERATION - REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
The rear window defogger system is controlled by a
switch installed with the HVAC control assembly. An
amber indicator lamp in the switch button will light
to indicate when the rear window defogger system is
turned on. The HVAC control head circuitry, which
contains the defogger system timer logic, monitors
the state of the defogger switch through a hard-wired
input. The instrument cluster circuitry controls therear window defogger system through a hard-wired
control output to the rear window defogger relay. The
rear window defogger timer and logic circuitry cannot
be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
HVAC control head assembly must be replaced.
The rear window defogger system will be automat-
ically turned off after a programmed time interval of
about ten minutes. After the initial time interval has
expired, if the rear window defogger switch is turned
on again during the same ignition cycle, the defogger
system will automatically turn off after about five
minutes.
The rear window defogger system will automati-
cally shut off if the ignition switch is turned to the
Off position, or it can be turned off manually by
depressing the instrument panel switch. Following
are general descriptions of the major components in
the rear window defogger system. Refer to the own-
er's manual in the vehicle glove box for more infor-
mation on the features, use and operation of the
defogger system.
KJWINDOW DEFOGGER 8G - 3

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REAR WINDOW
DEFOGGER SYSTEM
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, (Refer to
Appropriate Wiring Information). The operation of
the electrically heated rear window defogger system
can be confirmed in one of the following manners:
²Turn the ignition switch to the run position.
²Set the defogger switch in the run position. The
rear window defogger operation can be checked by
feeling the rear window or outside rear view mirror
glass. A distinct difference in temperature between
the grid lines and the adjacent clear glass or the mir-
ror glass can be detected within three to four min-
utes of operation.
²Using a 12-volt DC voltmeter, contact the rear
glass heating grid terminal B (right side) with the
negative lead, and terminal A (left side) with the pos-
itive lead (Fig. 1). The voltmeter should read battery
voltage.
The above checks will confirm system operation.
Illumination of the defogger switch indicator lamp
means that there is electrical current available at the
output of the defogger relay, but does not confirmthat the electrical current is reaching the rear glass
heating grid lines.
If the defogger system does not operate, the prob-
lem should be isolated in the following manner:
(1) Confirm that the ignition switch is in the run
position.
(2) Ensure that the rear glass heating grid feed
and ground wires are connected to the glass. Confirm
that the ground wire has continuity to ground.
(3) Check the fuses in the Power Distribution Cen-
ter (PDC) and in the junction block. The fuses must
be tight in their receptacles and all electrical connec-
tions must be secure.
When the above steps have been completed and the
rear glass or outside rear view mirror heating grid is
still inoperative, one or more of the following is
faulty:
²Defogger switch
²Defogger relay
²HVAC control head circuitry
²Rear window grid lines (all grid lines would
have to be broken or one of the feed wires discon-
nected for the entire system to be inoperative)
²Outside rear view mirror heating grid.
If setting the defogger switch to the On position
produces a severe voltmeter deflection, check for a
short circuit between the defogger relay output and
the rear glass or outside rear view mirror heating
grids.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - REAR GLASS
