GENERAL INFORMATION
1.0INTRODUCTION
The procedures contained in this manual include
all the specifications, instructions and graphics
needed to diagnose 2005 body system problems. The
diagnostics in this manual are based on the failure
condition or symptom being present at the time of
diagnosis.
Please follow the recommendations below when
choosing your diagnostic path.
1. First make sure the DRBIIIt is communicating
with the appropriate modules; i.e., if the
DRBIIIt displays a “No Response” or a “Bus 6
Signals Open” condition, you must diagnose that
first.
2. Read DTC’s (diagnostic trouble codes) with the
DRBIIIt.
3. If no DTC’s are present, identify the customer
complaint.
4. Once the DTC or customer complaint is identi-
fied, locate the matching test in the Table of
Contents and begin to diagnose the symptom.
All component location views are in Section 8.0. All
connector pinouts are in Section 9.0. All schematics
are in Section 10.0. All Charts and Graphs are in
Section 11.0.
An * placed before the symptom description indicated a customer complaint.
When repairs are required, refer to the appropriate service information for the proper removal and
repair procedure.
Diagnostic procedures change every year. New
diagnostic systems may be added: carryover systems may be enhanced. READ THIS MANUAL
BEFORE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE A VEHICLE
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE. It is recommended that you review the entire manual to become familiar with all the new and changed diagnostic procedures.
This book reflects many suggested changes from
readers of past issues. After using this book, if you
have any comments or suggestions, please fill out the
form in the back of this book and mail it back to us.
1.1SYSTEM COVERAGE

3.0SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND
FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
The body system on the 2005 RS and RG consists of
a combination of modules that communicate over the
1
Page 33
GENERAL INFORMATION
PCI bus (Programmable Communication Interface
multiplex system). Through the PCI bus, information
about the operation of vehicle components and circuits
is relayed quickly to the appropriate modules. All
modules receive all the information transmitted on the
bus even though a module may not require all information to perform its function. It will only respond to
messages “addressed” to it through binary coding
process. This method of data transmission significantly reduces the complexity of the wiring in the
vehicle and the size of wiring harnesses. All of the
information about the functioning of all the systems is
organized, controlled, and communicated by the PCI
bus, which is described in the Communication Section
of this general information.
3.1ADJUSTABLE PEDALS SYSTEM
The Adjustable Pedals are designed to enable the
fore and aft repositioning of the brake and accelerator pedals. This results in improved ergonomics in
relation to the steering wheel for taller and shorter
drivers. Being able to adjust the pedal positions also
allows the driver to set steering wheel tilt and seat
positions to the most comfortable position available.
The positions can be adjusted without compromising safety or comfort in actuating the pedals. Repositioning the pedals does not change the effort
required for actuation. Changing of pedal position is
accomplished by means of a motor.
Operating the adjustable pedal switch activates
the pedal drive motor. The pedal drive motor
changes the position of the brake and accelerator
pedals. The pedal can move rearward or forward.
The pedals are moved to a position that is most
comfortable for the driver. The accelerator and
brake pedals are moved at the same rate to ensure
synchronization. Neither the motor nor mechanisms are subject to mechanical stress of brake or
accelerator application.
The adjustable pedals feature is available on a
non-memory/memory-equipped vehicle. The nonmemory system consists of a mechanical switch
that allows pedal travel adjustment. The IPM controls the Fused B+ circuit voltage to the adjustable
pedals switch through the adjustable pedals relay.
The circuit opens when the IPM detects an active
cruise control state or when the vehicle is in reverse. The adjustable pedals control switch is located on the right side steering column shroud. The
switch is hardwired directly to the adjustable pedals motor. When the operator actuates the switch to
adjust the pedals, voltage is applied to the adjustable pedals motor allowing adjustment. The memory system, known as the Memory Seat Mirror
Adjustable Pedal Module (MSMAPM), is located
under the driver’s seat and controls the adjustable
pedals. The adjustable pedals control switch is
located on the right side steering column shroud.
The switch is hardwired directly to the MSMAPM.
When the operator actuates the switch to adjust the
pedals, the MSMAPM controls the adjustable pedals motor movement with input from the adjustable
pedals sensor. This sensor allows pedal adjustment
and memory functions to be recalled from the driver
door mounted memory buttons or the RKE transmitters. The adjustable pedals will not operate
when in an active cruise control state or when the
vehicle is in reverse.
3.2AIRBAG SYSTEM/OCCUPANT
RESTRAINT CONTROLLER SYSTEM
AND OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION
SYSTEM
The Airbag System contains the following components: Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), Airbag Warning Indicator, Clockspring, Driver and
Passenger dual squib Airbags, Driver and Passenger Seat belt Tensioner (SBT), Driver and Passenger Hall-effect Seat Belt Buckle Switches (SBS),
Left and Right Side Curtain Airbags, and Front and
Side Impact Sensors. The ORC also monitors the
Occupant Classification System (OCS) for the presence of a passenger in the front outer seat.
The Occupant Classification System contains the
following components:Occupant Classification
Module (OCM), Bladder and Sensor, Belt Tension
Sensor, and Passenger Airbag off Indicator. The
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) supports
staged airbag deployment and remote impact sensing. Staged deployment is the ability to trigger
airbag system squib inflators individually as
needed to provide the appropriate restraint for the
severity of the impact. The ORC has four major
functions: PCI Bus communications, onboard diagnostics, impact sensing, and component deployment. The ORC also contains an energy-storage
capacitor. This capacitor stores enough electrical
energy to deploy the front airbag components for
two seconds following a battery disconnect or failure during an impact. The ORC is secured to the
floor panel transmission tunnel below the instrument panel inside the vehicle. The ORC cannot be
repaired or adjusted. The ORC sends and/or receives PCI Bus messages with the Instrument Cluster (MIC), Body Control Module (BCM), and Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Diagnostic trouble
codes will be set if the communication with these
modules is lost or contains invalid information. The
microprocessor in the ORC monitors the front impact sensor signals and the airbag system electrical
circuits to determine the system readiness. If the
ORC detects a monitored system fault, it sends a
message to the instrument cluster via PCI bus to
2
Page 34
GENERAL INFORMATION
turn on theAirbag Warning Indicator.The ORC can
set both active and stored diagnostic trouble codes
to aid in diagnosing system problems. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES in this section.
The ORC uses an internal accelerometer, two
front sensors and six side impact sensors, to sense
the rate of vehicle deceleration and provide verification of the direction and severity of an impact. A
pre-programmed decision algorithm in the ORC
microprocessor determines when the deceleration
rate is severe enough to require airbag system
protection. The ORC also uses the driver and passenger seat belt switch status (buckled or unbuckled) to determine the level of driver airbag deployment, low medium or high. When the programmed
conditions are met, the ORC sends an electrical
signal to deploy the appropriate airbag system
components.

TheAirbag Warning Indicator is the only point at
which the customer can observe symptoms of a
system malfunction. Whenever the ignition key is
turned to the run or start position, the ORC performs a lamp check by turning the Airbag Warning
Indicator on for 6-8 seconds.After the lamp check, if
the indicator turns off, it means that the ORC has
checked the system and found it to be free of
discernible malfunctions. If the lamp remains on,
there could be an active fault in the system or the
MIC lamp circuit may be internally shorted. If the
lamp comes on and stays on for a period longer than
6-8 seconds then goes off, there is usually an intermittent problem in the system.
3.2.1DRIVER AIRBAG
The airbag protective trim cover is the most
visible part of the driver side airbag system. The
protective trim cover is fitted to the front of the
airbag module and forms a decorative cover in the
center of the steering wheel. The module is
mounted directly to the steering wheel. Located
under the trim cover are the horn switch, the airbag
cushion, and the airbag cushion supporting components. When supplied with the proper electrical
signal, the inflator or inflators discharge the gas
directly into the cushion. The airbag module cannot
be repaired, and must be replaced if deployed or in
any way damaged.

3.2.2CLOCKSPRING
The clockspring is mounted on the steering column under the steering wheel. This assembly consists of a plastic housing which contains a flat,
ribbon-like, electrically conductive tape that winds
and unwinds with the steering wheel rotation. The
clockspring is used to maintain a continuous electrical circuit between the instrument panel wiring
and the driver airbag, the horn, and the vehicle
speed control switches if equipped. The clockspring
must be properly centered when it is reinstalled on
the steering column following any service procedure, or it could be damaged. The clockspring cannot be repaired and it must be replaced.

3.2.4SEAT BELT TENSIONER (SBT)
The driver and passenger seat belt (buckle) tensioners are mounted to the inboard side of the front
seats. The seat belt buckle and seat belt switch are
connected directly to the seat belt tensioner cable.
At the onset of an impact event the ORC uses the
seat belt tensioner to rapidly retract the seat belt
buckles. With the slack removed, the occupant’s
forward motion in an impact will be reduced as will
the likelihood of contacting interior components.
The seat belt tensioner cannot be repaired, if damaged or defective it must be replaced. The ORC
continously monitors the resistance of the seat belt
tensioner circuits for open and shorted conditions.
3.2.5SEAT BELT SWITCHES (SBS)
The hall-effect driver and passenger seat belt
switches provide the seat belt status, buckled or
unbuckled, via hardwired inputs to the ORC. If the
seat belt switch is damaged or defective the seat
belt tensioner must be replaced. The ORC continuously monitors the seat belt switch circuits for open
and shorted conditions.
3.2.6 DRIVER KNEE BLOCKER AIRBAG
The most visible part of the Driver Knee Blocker
Airbag is the knee blocker trim cover. The knee blocker
trim cover and airbag are mounted directly to the
instrument panel structure below the steering column.
When supplied with the proper electrical signal, the
inflator discharges the gas directly into the airbag.
The airbag cannot be repaired, and must be replaced if
deployed or in any way damaged.

3.2.7FRONT AND SIDE IMPACT SENSOR
The front and side impact sensors are electronic
accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration, and combined with the ORC Accelerometer
Sensor provides verification of the direction and severity of an impact. Each sensor also contains an electronic communication chip that allows the unit to
communicate the sensor status as well as sensor fault
information to the microprocessor in the Occupant
Restraint Controller. The ORC microprocessor continuously monitors all of the front and side passive
restraint system electrical circuits to determine the
system readiness. If the ORC detects a system fault, it
sets a Diagnostic TroubleCode and controls the airbag
indicator operation accordingly. The impact sensors
each receive battery current and ground through dedicated left and right sensor signal and ground circuits
from the ORC. The impact sensors and the ORC
communicate by modulating the voltage in the sensor
signal circuit. If the sensor is dropped it must be
replaced.
CAUTION: Do not remove or install the
impactsensorswhilethesensoris
connected to the vehicle wiring.
3.2.8OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION
SYSTEM
A non-calibrated Occupant Classification Module
(OCM) is the only component of the Occupant Classification System (OCS) that is available for separate
service replacement, as outlined in the procedures that
follow. The OCS components of the passenger side front
seat cushion including the cushion frame, springs, pad,
seat weight bladder and pressure sensor, seat cushion
foam and the OCM are a factory-calibrated and assembled unit. Once this unit is connected to a vehicle
electrically, the calibration settings are uploaded from
6
Page 38
GENERAL INFORMATION
the OCM and stored in the memory of the Airbag
Control Module (ORC). If only the OCM is subsequently replaced, the new, non-calibrated OCM learns
the proper calibration settings from the ORC after it is
connected to the vehicle electrically. If any of the
remaining OCS components of the passenger side,
front seat cushion require replacement, they are serviced only as a factory calibrated, assembled, and
tamper-evident service replacement package. This
package includes the assembled frame, springs, pad,
seat weight bladder and pressure sensor, foam, wiring
and a calibrated OCM. When installing this package,
always replace all of the existing components with the
new components as a unit. Do not attempt to separate
or disconnect any of the new OCS components contained in the service replacement package from each
other, and do not attempt to reuse any of the replaced
components in this or any other vehicle. Once any of
the original factory-installed components except the
OCM have been replaced with the service replacement
package components, the OCM can only be serviced by
replacing the entire passenger side front seat cushion
unit with another complete service replacement package.
CAUTION: On vehicles equipped with the
Occupant Classification System (OCS), never
replace both the Airbag Control Module
(ORC)andtheOccupantClassification
Module (OCM) at the same time. If both
requirereplacement,replaceone.Then
performthesupplementalrestraint
verification test before replacing the other.
Both the ORC and the OCM store OCS
calibration data, which they transfer to one
another when one of them is replaced. If both
are replaced at the same time, an irreversible
fault will be set in both modules.
The OCM is subsystem of the Airbag Control
Module (ORC). Therefore the OCM bus message
updates the ORC with the front passenger seat
information via PCI Bus message. The ORC then
controls the Passenger Off indicator and the Airbag
Warning Indicator to provide system onboard diagnostic feedback. All OCS wiring repairs are prohibited; when wiring problems are diagnosed a Bladder
Repair Kit is the only approved repair.
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF INDICATOR
Vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS) include a passenger airbag off
indicator located in the Switch Bank in the center of
the instrument panel. Vehicles without OCS have a
blank lens installed in the instrument panel. At
ignition on, for a system test, the ORC low side
driver grounds a yellow Light Emitting Diode
(LED) circuit causing the PASSAIRBAG OFF Indicator text and icon to be illuminated.
SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR
Vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS) have a seat weight bladder and
pressure sensor unit that is integral to the passenger front seat cushion. The pressure sensor receives
a nominal five volts and a ground through dedicated
hardwired circuits from the OCM. The OCM then
monitors the pressure sensor output voltage.
SEAT BELT TENSION SENSOR - BTS
The Belt Tension Sensor (BTS) is designed to measure belt tension as an input to a passenger Occupant
Classification System (OCS). It is used to detect high
cinch loads associated with child seats and compensate for the seat cushion load to correctly classify
occupant size. When a load is applied to the seat belt,
the belt tension sensor measures the load. As the load
changes, the circuitry of the belt tension sensor
changes the output voltage of the sensor. The belt
tension sensor receives a nominal five volts and a
ground through dedicated hardwired circuits from the
OCM. The OCM then monitors the belt tension sensor
output voltage on a dedicated hardwired data communication circuit. If the vehicle has experienced any
impact(s) resulting in deployment of a pyrotechnic
device of any kind (airbag, seatbelt tensioner, side
curtain, etc.) within the vehicle, the entire passenger
seat belt retractor assembly, including the BTS, shall
be replaced. Additionally, if the seat belt webbing has
become cut, frayed, or worn; or if the stitching has
become damaged in any way, the entire passenger seat
belt retractor assembly, including the BTS, shall be
replaced. The belt tension sensor cannot be repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, the entire passenger side
front seat belt and retractor unit must be replaced.
The OCM Verification Test will also provide a BTS
Verification procedure to verify the BTS function. This
verification procedure requires the Miller Special Tool
#8828.
BLADDER REPAIR KIT
There are only three replaceable components in the
OCS, Occupant Classification Module, Bladder Repair
Kit and the Passenger Airbag OFF Indicator. The
Bladder repair kit contains the OCS bladder, wire
harnesses, pressure sensor (Seat WeightSensor), module, seat cushion and other related structural and
sound deadening components. The module and sensor
connector must have a Tamper Evident material installed on the service kit module and sensor connectors. This material provides visible evidence that the
assembly has been separated after the calibration
process was completed. Do not install a Bladder Repair Kit if it appears that any of the components have
been disconnected. The OCM can be replaced if the
Airbag Control Module has uploaded the seat calibration into memory in a previous ignition cycle and the
new OCM has a blank VIN and no calibration data
stored in memory.

GENERAL INFORMATION
NOTE: An OCM can only be replaced in a
passenger front seat if the seat is equipped
with theoriginal OCSmodule, bladder,
sensor and wiring. NOTE: Servicing the OCS
may create additional active and stored
trouble codes that must be resolved before
the vehicle can be returned to the owner. The
OCS Verification Test will also set active
DTCs if the procedure is not completed
successfully.

3.2.9SPECIAL TOOLS
Some airbag diagnostic tests will require the use
of special tools, airbag load tools, 8443 for testing
squib circuits and the Occupant Classification Seat
Weight Tool 9077. The load tools contain fixed
resistive loads, jumpers and adapters. The fixed
loads are connected to cables and mounted in a
storage case. The cables can be directly connected to
some airbag system connectors. Jumpers are used
to convert the load tool cable connectors to the other
airbag system connectors. The adapters are connected to the module harness connector to open
shorting clips and protect the connector terminal
during testing. When using the load tool follow all of
the safety procedures in the service information for
disconnecting airbag system components. Inspect
the wiring, connector and terminals for damage or
misalignment. Substitute the airbag load tool in
place of a Driver or Passenger Airbag, curtain
airbag, clockspring, or seat belt tensioner (use a
jumper if needed). Then follow all of the safety
procedures in the service information for connecting
airbag system components. Read the module active
DTC’s.If the module reports NOACTIVE DTC’s the
defective component has been removed from the
system and should be replaced. If the DTC is still
active, continue this process until all components in
the circuit have been tested. Then disconnect the
module connector and connect the matching
adapter to the module connector. With all airbags
disconnected and the adapter installed the squib
wiring can be tested for open and shorted conditions.
3.2.10DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Airbag diagnostic trouble codes consist of active
and stored codes. If more than one code exists,
diagnostic priority should be given to the active
codes. Each diagnostic trouble code is diagnosed by
following a specific testing procedure. The diagnostic test procedures contain step-by-step instructions
for determining the cause of the trouble codes. It is
not necessary to perform all of the tests in this book
to diagnose an individual code. Always begin by
reading the diagnostic trouble codes with the
DRBIIIt. This will direct you to the specific test(s)
that must be performed. In certain test procedures
within this manual, diagnostic trouble codes are
used as a diagnostic tool.
3.2.10.1ACTIVE CODES
The code becomes active as soon as the malfunction is detected or key-on, whichever occurs first. An
active trouble code indicates an on-going malfunction. This means that the defect is currently there
every time the Occupant Restraint Controller
checks that circuit or component. It is impossible to
erase an active code. Active diagnostic trouble codes
for the airbag system are not permanent and will
change the moment the reason for the code is
corrected. With the exception of the warning lamp
trouble codes or malfunctions, when a malfunction
is detected, the airbag lamp remains lit for a minimum of 12 seconds or as long as the malfunction is
present.
3.2.10.2STORED CODES
Airbag codes are automatically stored in the
ORC’s memory as soon as the malfunction is detected. A stored code indicates there was an active
code present at some time. When a trouble code
occurs, the Airbag Warning Indicator illuminates
for 12 seconds minimum (even if the problem existed for less than 12 seconds). Once the code is no
9
Page 41
GENERAL INFORMATION
longer active, the time in minutes it was active, and
the number of times the ignition has been cycled
since the problem was last detected will be displayed. The minimum time shown for any code will
be one minute, even if the code was actually present
for less than one minute. Thus, the time shown for
a code that was present for two minutes 13 seconds,
for example, would be three minutes. If a malfunction is detected a diagnostic trouble code is stored
and will remain stored. When and if the malfunction ceases to exist, an ignition cycle count will be
initiated for that code. If the ignition cycle count
reaches 100 without a reoccurrence of the same
malfunction, the diagnostic trouble code is erased
and that ignition cycle counter is reset to zero. The
ignition cycle counter will be reset and diagnostic
trouble code will continue to be a stored code, If the
malfunction reoccurs before the count reaches 100.
If a malfunction is not active while performing a
diagnostic test procedure, the active code diagnostic
test will not locate the source of the problem. In this
case, the stored code can indicate an area to inspect.
Maintain a safe distance from all airbags while
performing the following inspection. If no obvious
problems are found, erase stored codes, and with
the ignition on wiggle the wire harness and connectors, rotate the steering wheel from stop to stop.
Recheck for codes periodically as you work through
the system. This procedure may uncover a malfunction that is difficult to locate.
3.3AUDIO SYSTEM
On radios without an external amplifier, the term
output refers to the path between the radio and the
speaker. This type of circuit can be monitored all
the way through the speaker connections by the
radio assembly. When the radio displays a shorted
output DTC with this type of system, the speaker,
radio, or wiring could be at fault.
On radios with an external amplifier, the term
“output” refers to the circuit between the radio
connector and the amplifier. The radio is capable of
monitoring only this portion and can tell nothing
about the circuit between the amplifier and the
speakers. Consequently, a shorted output DTC on
this type of system would only refer to this circuit.
A faulty speaker could not cause this DTC.
3.3.1NAVIGATION RADIO
The optional navigation radio system receives
GPS signals from up to eight satellites to display
the position and direction of the vehicle. Map information is supplied through a DVD-ROM. An electronic gyrosensor and the vehicle’s speed sensor
enable the system to display the present vehicle
position even in locations where GPS signals may
be blocked.
When a destination is selected, the navigation
system uses information from the map to quickly
calculate a route. As the vehicle is driven along the
chosen route, the operator is guided with pictorial
displays and voice prompts. For complete operating
instructions, refer to the manual included with the
vehicle.
Some of the radios are on the PCI Bus system.
The PCI Bus inputs into the radio are used for VF
dimming, remote steering wheel controls and cabin
EQ preference. PCI Bus outputs from the radio are
used for the Name Brand Speaker (NBS) relay
activation, as well as cabin EQ preference.
The radios have the capability of containing multiple vehicle unique equalization curves (cabin EQ
preferences) within the radio. These curves will
reside in the radio’s flash memory. The radio is
capable of storing up to 20 unique equalization
curves. The latent curves can be selected via the
Front Control Module transmitting a PCI Bus message to the radio in response to a radio request for
equalization message. Upon receipt of a valid equalization select message response, the radio will
switch to output the corresponding equalization
curve.
All the radios are capable of displaying faults and
allowing certain actuation tests through the use of
the DRBIIIt. When attempting to perform PCI Bus
diagnostics, the first step is to identify the radio in
use in the vehicle.
When trouble shooting output shorts or “output”
error messages, the following applies:
3.3.2REMOTE RADIO CONTROLS
These radios can be controlled via remote radio
switches (optional). These switches are located on
the back side of the steering wheel. They control
mode, preset, seek up, seek down, volume up and
volume down functions.
These functions are inputs to the Body Control
Module and can be read with the DRBIIIt under
“body computer”. The switches are a multiplexed
signal to the BCM. The radio control MUX circuit is
a 5 volt line that is pulled to ground through
different value resistors built into the switches.
This causes a voltage drop to be seen by the BCM
and it sends a specific message to the radio on the
PCI Bus circuit. The radio then responses to the
message.
This circuit is fairly simple to troubleshoot. The
circuit must be complete from the switches in the
steering wheel to the BCM. The ground must be
complete so that the switches can cause the voltage
drop for the BCM to see. The circuit passes through
the clockspring so continuity through this devise
must be verified.

GENERAL INFORMATION
3.3.3CD CHANGER
The new in-dash CD Changer is designed to fit
into the existing cubby bin in the center stack. This
new cartridge-less CD Changer is controlled by
your radio, and allows you to individually load up to
four discs at a time. However, due to its compact
design, the CD Changer can only carry out one
operation at a time. For example, you can not load
a new disc while playing another at the same time.
Each operation happens sequentially.
The radio unit installed with your system provides control over all features of the CD Changer
with the exception of the CD load and eject functions, which are controlled by buttons located on the
front of the CD Changer. The radio also supplies the
power, ground, PCI Bus, left and right speaker
output through a single DIN cable. All features you
would expect, such as Disc Up/Down, Track Up/
Down, Random and Scan are controlled by the
radio, which also displays all relevant CD Changer
information on the radio display.
The CD Changer contains a Load/Eject button
and an indicator light for each of the four disc
positions. The individual light indicates whether a
CD is currently loaded in that particular chamber of
the CD Changer. Pressing the individual Load/Eject
button for a particular chamber will eject a disc
currently present in that chamber.If the chamber is
currently empty, actuating the Load/Eject button
will position that chamber to receive and load a new
disc in that chamber.
3.3.4DVD/CD CHANGER
The DVD/CD Changer (if equipped) is located in
the instrument panel below the radio. The DVD/CD
Changer can hold one DVD at a time. Three RCA
jacks on the front of the unit will allow the use of
MP3 players, video systems or camcorders.
3.4BODY CONTROL MODULE
The body control module (BCM) supplies vehicle
occupants with visual and audible information and
controls various vehicle functions. To provide and
receive information, the module is interfaced to the
vehicle’s serial bus communications network (PCI).
This network consists of the powertrain control
module (PCM), the engine control module (ECM)
diesel, the mechanical instrument cluster (MIC),
the front control module (FCM), the occupant restraint controller (ORC), the occupant classification
module (OCM), the compass/mini-trip (CMTC), the
electronic vehicle information center (EVIC), the
controller antilock brake (CAB), the hands free
module (HFM), the park assist module, the HVAC
control module (ATC & MTC), the power sliding
door (Left & Right) modules (PSD), the power
liftgate module (PLG), the Audio system (which
includes the Radio, DVD, CD Changer and Amplifier), the memory seat/mirror/adjustable pedals
module (MSMAPM), the RKE/thatcham alarm
module (export), the transmission control module
(NAG1 and Diesel auto only) and the sentry key
remote entry module (SKREEM). The BCM is operational when battery power is supplied to the
module.
The body control module provides the following
features:
• Power Door Locks
• Automatic Door Lock
• Door Lock Inhibit
• Central Locking (with VTSS Only)
• Battery Protection
• The BCM will automatically turn off all exterior
lamps after 3 minutes and all interior lamps after
15 minutes after the ignition is turned off, if they
are not turned off by the driver.
• Chime Driver
• Compass/Minitrip Support
• Interior Lighting (Courtesy/Reading Lamps)
• BCM Diagnostic Reporting
• Electronic Liftgate Release (with Power Door
Locks)
• Exterior Lighting
• Headlamp Time Delay (with/without Autohead-
lamps)
• Automatic Headlamps (with electrochromatic
mirror)
• Illuminated Entry
• Fade to Off
This feature dims the interior lighting (courtesy
lamps) gradually if the BCM does not receive any
new inputs that would cause the interior lamps to
remain on.
• PWM Instrument Panel Dimming
• Door Lock Inhibit
This feature disables the door lock functions if the
key is in the ignition and either front door is ajar.
Pressing the RKE lock/unlock button under these
conditions, result in normal lock/unlock activation.
• Power Sliding Door Switch Inputs
The BCM has 4 switch inputs for the power
sliding door feature: Located in the overhead console are the Left and Right side sliding door
switches to activate either or both sliding doors
under the proper conditions. Also there are B-Pillar
switches located on the Left and Right B-pillar
posts.
11
Page 43
GENERAL INFORMATION
• Power Liftgate Switch Input
The BCM has 1 Liftgate switch input located in
the overhead console
• Power Lockout Switch Input
The BCM has 1 Lockout switch that when enabled will disable the B-Pillar sliding door switches
from activating either sliding door when depressed.
When replacing a body control module there are 2
modules available, a Base and a Midline. The
Midline controller is used on vehicles that have
Power Door Locks. If a vehicle is equipped with the
Vehicle Theft Security System, the midline controller becomes a premium when the theft feature is
enabled.
NOTE: Do not swap the body control module
between vehicles or body control modules
off the shelf.
Engineering does not recommend that service,
dealers or the plant swap Body Control Modules
(BCM) between vehicles or off the shelf. The BCM
has internal diagnostic capability that assists in
diagnosing the system. When an “Open” or a
“Short” circuit exists, the diagnostic tool can be
used to read the BCM codes. The codes are very
descriptive in identifying the appropriate feature
that has faulted. The BCM also learns what features are on the vehicle and if modules are swapped
the BCM could set false DTCs based on what it
learned.
3.5CHIME WARNING SYSTEM
TheBCMmonitorsthedoor/liftgateajar
switches, multifunction switches, headlight switch,
ignition switch, PCI bus, and the diagnostic tool to
perform various chime operations. The BCM uses a
low-side driver to control the chime located in the
cluster.
The chime system provides the Driver with warning chimes for:
• Seat belt

3.6COMMUNICATION
The Programmable Communication Interface or
PCI Bus is a single wire multiplexed network capable of supporting binary encoded messages shared
between multiple modules. The PCI bus circuit is
identified as D25 and is white with a violet tracer.
Additional tracer colors may be added to the violet
in order to distinguish between different module
connections. The modules are wired in parallel.
Connections are made in the harness using splices.
The following modules are used on the RS/RG:
• Body Control Module
• Front Control Module
• Occupant Restraint Controller
• Occupant Classification Module
• Controller Antilock Brake
• Powertrain Control Module (Gas)
• Transmission Control Module (NAG1 and Diesel
Auto Only)
• Engine Control Module (Diesel)
• Radio
• Amplifier
• CD Changer
• DVD/CD Changer
• Hands Free Module
• Automatic Temperature Control Module
• A/C Heater Control Module (MTC)
• Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM)
• Memory Seat/Mirror/Adjustable Pedals Module
(MSMAPM)
• Overhead Console
• Mechanical Instrument Cluster
• Left Sliding Door Control Module
• Right Sliding Door Control Module
• Thatcham Alarm Module (Export)
• Power Liftgate Module
• Park Assist Module
13
Page 45
GENERAL INFORMATION
Each module provides its own bias and termination in order to transmit and receive messages. The
bus voltage is at zero volts when no modules are
transmitting and is pulled up to about seven and a
half volts when modules are transmitting.
The bus messages are transmitted at a rate
averaging 10800 bits per second. Since there is only
voltage present when the modules transmit and the
message length is only about 500 milliseconds, it is
ineffective to try and measure the bus activity with
a conventional voltmeter. The preferred method is
to use the DRBIIIt lab scope. The 12v square wave
selection on the 20-volt scale provides a good view of
the bus activity. Voltage on the bus should pulse
between zero and about seven and a half volts.
Refer to the following figure for some typical displays.
The PCI Bus failure modes are broken down into
two categories. Complete PCI Bus Communication
Failure and individual module no response. Causes
of a complete PCI Bus Communication Failure
include a short to ground or battery on the PCI
circuit. Individual module no response can be
caused by an open PCI circuit at the module, or an
open battery or ground circuit to the affected module.
Symptoms of a complete PCI Bus Communication
Failure would include but are not limited to:
• All gauges on the MIC stay at zero
• All telltales on MIC illuminate
• MIC backlighting at full intensity
• Dashed lines in the overhead console ambient
temperature display
• Noresponse received from any module on the PCI
bus (except the PCM/ECM)
• No start (if equipped with Sentry Key Immobi-
lizer)
Symptoms of Individual module failure could
include any one or more of the above. The difference
would be that at least one or more modules would
respond to the DRBIIIt.
Diagnosis starts with symptom identification. If a
complete PCI Bus Communication Failure is sus-
pected, begin by identifying which modules the
vehicle is equipped with and then attempt to get a
response from the modules with the DRBIIIt.Ifany
modules are responding, the failure is not related to
the total bus, but can be caused by one or more
modules PCI circuit or power supply and ground
circuits. The DRBIIIt may display “BUS +/- SIGNAL OPEN” or “NO RESPONSE” to indicate a
communication problem. These same messages will
be displayed if the vehicle is not equipped with that
particular module. The CCD error message is a
default message used by the DRBIIIt and in no way
indicates whether or not the PCI bus is operational.
The message is only an indication that a module is
either not responding or the vehicle is not equipped.
NOTE: For 2005 model year, some vehicles
willintegratetheTransmissionControl
Module and Powertrain Control Module into a
single control module. This new module is
theNextGenerationControllerfor
DaimlerChrysler and will be referred to as the
PowertrainControlModule(PCM).The
Transmission Control Module is part of the
Powertrain Control Module.
Diagnostic procedures and DTC numbers are
some of the changes you will see which reflect
the new combined module technology. The
PCM will have four color coded connectors C1
through C4, (C1-BLK, C2-ORANGE, C3-WHITE,
C4-GREEN), each PCM connector will have 38
pins each. Two new tools are used for probing
and repairing the New PCM connectors. A New
tooltoreleasethepinsfromthePCM
connectors Miller #3638 is introduced, you
must use the Miller tool #3638 to release the
connector pins or harness and connector
damage will occur. Also a New tool for probing
connectors Miller #8815 is introduced, you
must use the Miller tool #8815 to probe the PCM
pins or harness and connector damage will
occur. There is also a new Verification test and
module replacment procedure for the PCM.

GENERAL INFORMATION
3.8EXTERIOR LIGHTING SYSTEM
3.8.1HEADLAMP POWER
The Headlamp Switch is a direct input to the
BCM. The BCM sends a BUS message to the FCM
informing it of a headlamp switch status change.
The FCM then turns on power to the headlamps
through four “fuseless” circuits. These circuits are
electronically controlled and continuously monitored for malfunctions. Power is supplied to each
filament in a separate circuit. For vehicles equipped
with daytime running Lamps (DRL), the FCM electronically steps down the headlamp voltage to provide the desired illumination.
3.8.2HEADLAMP SWITCH
The Headlamp Switch uses a multiplexed (MUX)
circuit to the Body Control Module (BCM). The
Headlamp Switch controls the Fog lamp relay, Park
lamps and the Low and High headlamps. The BCM
then sends a signal through the PCI Bus line to the
FCM as to what state the switch has selected. The
FCM energizes the high side output drivers to turn
ON the desired lamps.
3.7DOOR AJAR SYSTEM
The door ajar and liftgate ajar states are used as
inputs for the Body Control Module (BCM). The
BCM uses these inputs to determine exactly what
position the doors and liftgate are in. The DRBIIIt
will display the state of the door ajar and the
liftgate ajar switches in Inputs/Outputs. It’s important to note, that when any door, or the liftgate is
closed, the switch state on the DRBIIIt will show
OPEN. When any door, or the liftgate is open the
switch state on the DRBIIIt will show CLOSED.
During diagnosis, if a door or the liftgate is closed
and the DRBIIIt displays the switch state as
CLOSED, it indicates a shorted ajar circuit. If the
door or the liftgate is open and the DRBIIIt displays the switch state as OPEN, it indicates an
open ajar circuit.
3.8.3PARK LAMP RELAY
The Park Lamp Switch is a direct input to the
BCM. The BCM sends a BUS message to the FCM
informing it to turn on the park lamp relay. The
park lamp relay is then powered through low side
control of the FCM. This circuit is electronically
controlled and continuously monitored for malfunctions.
3.8.4FOG LAMP RELAY
The Fog Lamp switch is a direct input to the
BCM. The BCM sends a BUS message to the FCM
informing it to turn on the fog lamp relay. The fog
lamp relay is then powered through low side control
of the FCM. This circuit is electronically controlled
and continuously monitored for malfunctions. Fog
lamp functionality is not equipped on all vehicles.
The FCM “learns” that the vehicle is equipped with
fog lamps by reading the BCM BUS message.
3.8.5FOG LAMPS
The BCM controls the operation of the fog lamp
relay that turns the fog lamps ON and OFF. The
Fog lamps can only be ON when the park and low
beams are ON. If the high beams are switched ON
then the Fog lamps will be automatically turned
OFF.
15
Page 47
GENERAL INFORMATION
3.8.6EXTERIOR LIGHTING BATTERY
SAVER
The BCM monitors the status of, and controls, the
Park Lamps, Headlamps and Fog Lamp relays. If
any exterior lamps are left ON after the ignition is
turned OFF, the BCM will turn them OFF after 3
minutes.
3.8.7AUTO HEADLAMPS
This feature is available on vehicles equipped with
both the Electrocromatic Mirror (ECM) and the
Compass/Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC). When the
BCM detects a day/night signal from the CMTC, an
ECM is present and Auto Headlamp mode is selected.
3.9FRONT CONTROL MODULE
The Front Control Module (FCM) is an electrical
control and interface center located in the engine
compartment. When it is mated to the Power Distribution Center (PDC), it is referred to as the
Integrated Power Module (IPM). The IPM, with its
fuses and relays provides power and signal distribution throughout most of the vehicle. The FCM
receives both hard wire and digital electronic inputs
from the vehicle electrical system through the PDC.
Based on these inputs and the ignition switch
position, it provides direct power feeds and relay
control to some of the vehicles’ most critical electrical systems.
The Front Control Module provides the following
features:
Controlled power feeds:
• Front airbag system
• Headlamp power
• EATX module power (4 speed only)
• Front washer motor

3.9.1CONTROLLED POWER FEEDS
Front airbag system
The FCM provides power to the Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) system through two “fuseless” circuits (ORC RUN/START, and ORC RUN
only). These circuits are electronically controlled
and continuously monitored for malfunctions.
Power is supplied while the ignition switch is in the
RUN and START positions on pin 48 of the FCM
connector, and in the RUN only position on pin 29.
Headlamp power
The headlamp switch is a direct input to the
BCM. The BCM sends a PCI Bus message to the
FCM informing it of a headlamp switch status
change. The FCM then turns on power to the
headlamps through four “fuseless” circuits. These
circuits are electronically controlled and continuously monitored for malfunctions. Power is supplied
to each filament in a separate circuit. For vehicles
equipped with Daytime Running Lamps (DRL), the
FCM electronically steps down the headlamp voltage to provide the desired illumination.
EATX power
The electronic automatic 4 speed transmission
module is powered when the ignition switch is in
the UNLOCK, RUN or START positions. This circuit is electronically controlled and continuously
monitored for malfunctions. Power is supplied
through pin 27 of the FCM connector.
Front washer motor
The front washer switch is a direct input to the
BCM. The BCM sends a PCI Bus message to the
16
Page 48
GENERAL INFORMATION
FCM informing it of a request to wash. The front
washer motor is then powered through low side
control inside the FCM. This circuit is electronically
controlled and continuously monitored for malfunctions. In addition, the FCM electronically protects
the washer motor from system voltages higher than
16 volts by automatically switching off the low side
circuit.
Rear washer motor
The rear washer switch is a direct input to the
BCM. The BCM sends a PCI Bus message to the
FCM informing it of a request to wash. The rear
washer motor is then powered through low side
control inside the FCM. This circuit is electronically
controlled and continuously monitored for malfunctions. In addition, the FCM electronically protects
the washer motor from system voltages higher than
16 volts by automatically switching off the low side
circuit.
Cabin Heater
When the ignition is in Run, the FCM monitors
the PCI bus for the Cabin Heater Activation request. The Automatic or Manual Temperature Control initiates this request only when all conditions
for the Cabin Heater activation are favorable. The
request carries the status bit that the FCM requires
to activate its Cabin Heater Assist Control output.
This output is a low side driver (coming from FCM
pin 15) which supplies a ground signal to the Cabin
Heater (pin 5). When the Cabin Heater receives this
ground signal input, it interprets this as an activation signal. The FCM low side driver is also capable
of diagnostic sensing. The driver will sense an open
circuit when the driver is off, and will sense a short
to voltage when the driver is on. The FCM will set
DTCs for both of these types of faults. For additional information, refer to Cabin Heater under
General Information and Diagnostic Procedures in
the manual.
Brake shift interlock system
The brake shift interlock solenoid receives power
from both high side and low side controls inside the
FCM. The high side control is on the same circuit as
the EATX module power, and the low side control
comes through pin 47 of the FCM connector. The
solenoid is controlled by the low side driver when
the brake pedal is pressed. Both circuits are continuously monitored for malfunctions.
3.9.2RELAY CONTROLS
Fog lamp relay
The fog lamp switch is a direct input to the BCM.
The BCM sends a PCI Bus message to the FCM
informing it to turn on the fog lamp relay. The fog
lamp relay is then powered through low side control
of the FCM. This circuit is electronically controlled
and continuously monitored for malfunctions. Fog
lamp functionality is not equipped on all vehicles.
The FCM “learns” that the vehicle is equipped with
fog lamps by reading the BCM PCI Bus message.
Park lamp relay
The park lamp switch is a direct input to the
BCM. The BCM sends a PCI Bus message to the
FCM informing it to turn on the park lamp relay.
The park lamp relay is then powered through low
side control of the FCM. This circuit is electronically controlled and continuously monitored for
malfunctions.
Front wiper on relay
The front wiper switch is a direct input to the
BCM. The BCM sends a PCI Bus message to the
FCM informing it to turn on the front wiper on
relay. The front wiper on relay is then powered
through low side control of the FCM. This circuit is
electronically controlled and continuously monitored for malfunctions.
Front wiper high/low relay
The front wiper switch is a direct input to the
BCM. The BCM sends a PCI Bus message to the
FCM informing it to turn on the front wiper high/
low relay. The relay switches power between the low
speed and high speed windings of the wiper motor.
The front wiper high/low relay is powered through
low side control of the FCM. This circuit is electronically controlled and continuously monitored for
malfunctions.
Accessory relay
The accessory relay works in conjunction with the
FCM’s power accessory delay feature to control the
operation of the radio, power windows, washer
motors, wiper motors and power outlet. The accessory relay is turned on through low side control on
pin 35 of the FCM. This circuit is electronically
controlled and continuously monitored for malfunctions. Depending on the ignition switch position,
the accessory relay will remain on or will time-out
and turn off. The accessory relay remains on in the
RUN and ACCY positions of the ignition switch. In
the UNLK and OFF positions, the relay will remain
energized for 45 seconds then turn off. During this
time-out period, if the driver or passenger doors are
opened, the relay will turn off immediately. While
the ignition switch is in the START position, the
relay will also drop-out, then resume operation.
Accessory relay operation is most noticeable by
observing the operation of the radio or blower
functions.
Horn relay
The horn relay operates through a direct wire
input to the FCM from the horn switch (FCM pin
17) , or a PCI Bus message from the BCM. The relay
17
Page 49
GENERAL INFORMATION
responds to the horn switch, remote door lock and
VTA alarm functions. The horn relay is powered
through low side control on pin 10 of the FCM.
Under normal operating conditions, if the horn is
pressed for longer than 30 seconds, the FCM will
automatically deactivate the horn to prevent damage to it. The FCM will re-activate control of the
relay after a 25 second cool-down period. This
circuit is electronically controlled and continuously
monitored for malfunctions.
Front and rear blower relay
RS with MTC
Upon ignition on, the A/C-Heater Control Module
sends a blower relay on request to the FCM over the
PCI Bus. The front blower relay and the rear blower
relay, if equipped, are then powered through low
side control through FCM pin 30. The relay provides the high side to the blower motor, and the
blower speed is governed through low side control
in the A/C-Heater Control Module. This circuit is
electronically controlled and continuously monitored for malfunctions.
RG with MTC
Upon power up (Power switch on), theA/C-Heater
Control Module sends a blower relay on request to
the FCM over the PCI Bus. The front blower relay is
then powered through low side control through
FCM pin 30. The relay provides the high side to the
blower motor, and the blower speed is governed
through low side control in the A/C-Heater Control
Module. This circuit is electronically controlled and
continuously monitored for malfunctions.
RS & RG with ATC
Upon power up (Power switch on), the Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC) Module sends a blower
relay on request to the FCM over the PCI Bus. The
front blower relay and the rear blower relay, if
equipped, are then powered through low side control through FCM pin 30. The relay provides the
high side to the Blower Motor Power Module, and
the blower speed is governed through control in the
ATCModule.This circuit is electronically controlled
and continuously monitored for malfunctions.
Name Brand Speakers (NBS) relay
The NBS relay operates through the vehicle bus
interface between the radio and the FCM. When the
radio is turned on, the radio sends a PCI Bus
message to the FCM. The NBS relay is then powered on through low side control on pin 11 of the
FCM. The relay supplies power to the amplified
speaker, and ground is supplied through the radio.
This circuit is electronically controlled and continuously monitored for malfunctions.
Electronic Back Light (EBL) relay
The rear defrost switch is part of the Automatic
Temperature Control orA/C-Heater Control Module
(Manual Temp). When the ignition switch is in the
RUN position and the rear defrost switch is turned
on, the ATC or A/C-Heater Control Module sends a
PCI Bus message to the FCM. The EBL run only
relay is then powered through low side control on
pin 31 of the FCM. The relay provides the high side
to the rear window defrost grid, and ground is
attached to the vehicle body. The FCM will only
allow the rear defrost to operate in the RUN position. This circuit is electronically controlled and
continuously monitored for malfunctions.
Adjustable Pedals Relay (Non-Memory)
The Adjustable Pedals Relay is only on nonmemory Adjustable Pedals System equipped vehicles. The relay is supplied battery voltage from the
IPM and is electronically controlled with a low side
driver within the FCM. The relay is energized when
the transmission is in reverse and when cruise
control operation is engaged. This action disables
theAdjustable Pedals System from movement. This
circuit is continuously monitored for proper function.

GENERAL INFORMATION
amount of warm air coming out of the HVAC
system should the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) disable A/C Compressor operation
while the Automatic Temperature Control
(ATC) is set in an automatic mode. The PCM
disables the A/C compressor if the A/C pressure is too low, if the A/C pressure is too high,
if engine overheating is immanent, or if an
engine overheating condition exists. The ATC
clamps the blower speed if the outside air
temperature is greater than 50°F (10°C) and
the PCM has disabled the A/C compressor.
This means that the ATC wil not adjust
blower speed automaticaly when the clamping feature is enabled, e.g. if the clamping
feature is enabled while in Auto Lo the blower
will continue to run in low speed; if the
clamping feature is enabled while in Auto Lo
and the operator selects Auto Hi the blower
will continue to run in low speed; if the
clamping feature is enabled while in Auto Hi
the blower will continue to run at the highest
speed. In any case the operator can manually
change the blower speed as desired. When
diagnosing blower related symptoms verify
that none of the above conditions for disabling
the A/C compressor exist before diagnosing
the blower circuits and components.
• controls rear blower operating speed, providing
10 speeds in manual mode and infinite speeds in

c The separate front and rear Blower Motor
Controllers operate as follows: When blower
operation is desired, the Blower Motor Controller provides a 10.0 volt signal to the ATC
Module over a control circuit. The ATC Module provides a variable duty cycle ground to
the 10.0 volt signal based on input from the
blower switch. When the blower switch is set
to LO speed, the ATC Module provides a short
duty cycle (less time grounding the signal
voltage). As higher blower speeds are requested, the ATC Module increases the duty
cycle (more time grounding the signal voltage). When the blower switch reaches HI
speed, the duty cycle increases to where the
signal pattern is almost a flat line (with brief
voltage spikes).

3.11.2COMPONENT DESCRIPTION AND
OPERATION
3.11.2.1DCHA ASSEMBLY
The DCHA is a supplemental heater designed to
pre-heat the engine’s coolant in order to supply the
vehicle’s occupants with heat prior to the engine
reaching operating temperature. The DCHA assembly mounts underneath the vehicle on the left side
floor pan near the front door opening. The DCHA
assembly connects to the vehicle’s heater hoses and
has a fuel supply line that connects to the vehicle’s
fuel tank.
The DCHA assembly consists of a:
• combustion air fan assembly
• burner housing
• burner insert
• control unit/heat exchanger
• combustion chamber
• dosing pump
3.11.2.2COMBUSTION AIR FAN
The combustion air fan assembly includes the:
• combustion air fan
• combustion air fan inlet
• fuel supply inlet
The combustion air fan delivers the air required
for combustion from the combustion air inlet to the
burner insert.
3.11.2.3BURNER HOUSING
The burner housing includes the:
• coolant inlet
• coolant outlet
• exhaust outlet
bustion pipe to heat the exchanger. The glow plug/
flame sensor, located in the burner insert, ignites
the fuel/air mixture during heater start up. After
heater start up, the glow plug/flame sensor operates
in the flame sensor function. The glow plug/flame
sensor is an electrical resistor by design, and is
located in the burner insert opposite the flame side.
3.11.2.5CONTROL UNIT/HEAT
EXCHANGER
The control unit/heat exchanger includes the:
• control unit
• temperature sensor
• overheat protection
• heat exchanger
• connector terminal
The control unit controls and monitors combustion operation. The control unit is ventilated by
means of a ventilation hose routed from the combustion air collector compartment of the burner.
The heat exchanger transfers the heat generated by
combustion to the coolant circuit. The control unit/
heat exchanger and the burner housing are an
assembly and must not be disassembled.
The temperature sensor senses the coolant temperature in the heat exchanger as an electrical
resistance. This signal is sent to the control unit for
processing.
The overheat protection, controlled by the temperature resistor,protects the heater against undue
operating temperatures. The overheat protection
will switch the heater off if the water temperature
exceeds 105°C (221°F).
3.11.2.6DOSING PUMP
The dosing pump is a combined delivery, dosing,
and shut-off system for the fuel supply of the heater.
The dosing pump receives its supply of fuel from the
vehicle’s fuel tank.
3.11.3OPERATION
The burner housing accommodates the burner
insert and is combined with the control unit/heat
exchanger as an assembly.
3.11.2.4BURNER INSERT
The burner insert includes the:
• combustion pipe fuel cross section
• glow plug/flame sensor
Inside the burner insert, fuel is distributed across
the combustion-pipe fuel cross section. Combustion
of the fuel/air mixture takes place within the com-

CAUTION: When using a powered exhaust
ventilation system, do not attach the exhaust
ventilation hose directly to the DCHA exhaust
pipe. Too much suction can prevent DCHA
operation.
• When using a powered exhaust ventilation sys-
tem, affix the ventilation hose to the DCHA
exhaust pipe or to the vehicle in such a manor
that the end of the ventilation hose remains
approximately three inches away from the end of
the DCHA exhaust pipe.
• When using a non-powered exhaust ventilation
system, affix the ventilation hose directly to the
DCHA exhaust pipe.
3.11.3.2ACTIVATION
When the ignition is in Run, the FCM monitors
the PCI bus for the Cabin Heater Activation request. The Automatic or Manual Temperature Control initiates this request only when all conditions
for Cabin Heater activation are favorable (see below). The request carries the status bit that the
FCM requires to activate its Cabin Heater Assist
Control Output. This output is a low side driver
(coming from FCM pin 15) which supplies a ground
signal to the Cabin Heater (pin 5). When the Cabin
Heater receives this ground signal input, it interprets this as an activation signal. The FCM low side
driver is also capable of diagnostic sensing. The
driver will sense an open circuit when the driver is
off, and will sense a short to voltage when the driver
is on. The FCM will set DTCs for both of these types
of faults.
For vehicle’s with a Manual Temperature Control
system, the DCHA will activate only:
• when the engine is running.
• when the coolant temperature is below 66°C
(151°F).
• when the fuel tank has greater than 1/8 of a tank
of fuel.
• when the Power switch on the A/C - Heater
Control Module is on.
• when the Blend control on the A/C - Heater
Control Module is set above 90% reheat (within 2
detents of the full heat position).
• once per ignition cycle, when the ambient tem-
perature is below 9°C (49°F), and the vehicle
speed is above 25 km/h (15.5 mph) for two min-
utes, and the Blend control on the A/C - Heater
Control Module is set anywhere from 80% to 90%
reheat (3 to 4 detents from the full heat position).
Under this circumstance, the DCHA will remain
active for five minutes unless additional input is
supplied to the DCHA.
• when the Front Control Module (FCM) sees the
Cabin Heater Activation request that is bussed
from the A/C - Heater Control Module.
For vehicle’s with aAutomaticTemperature Control
system, the DCHA will activate only when the:
• VIN indicates that the vehicle has a diesel engine
• vehicle’s odometer reads more than 5 miles.
• engine speed is above 500 rpm.
• coolant temperature is below 66°C (151°F).
• fuel tank has greater than 1/8 of a tank of fuel.
• Power switch on the Automatic Temperature
Control is on.
• Driver Temperature Control on the Automatic
Temperature Control is set above 22°C (72°F).
• Front Control Module (FCM) sees the Cabin
HeaterActivation request that is bussed from the
Automatic Temperature Control.
When the DCHA starting sequence begins, a
DCHA active telltale illuminates in the instrument
cluster and the glow plug and the combustion air
fan are activated. After 30 seconds, the fuel dosing
pump begins operating and the combustion air fan
operation is suspended for 3 seconds. Subsequently,
the combustion air fan speed is increased in two
ramps within 56 seconds to nearly full load operation. After a stabilization phase of 15 seconds, the
combustion air fan speed is again increased in a
ramp within 50 seconds to nearly full load. After
reaching full load fuel delivery, the glow plug is
deactivated and the combustion air fan operation is
increased to full load. During the subsequent 45
seconds, as well as in normal operation, the glow
plug functions as a flame sensor to monitor the
flame condition.After all these events, the automatically controlled heating operation starts.
In case of a no flame or a flame out condition, a
restart is automatically initiated. If the no flame
condition persists, fuel delivery is stopped and the
heater enters an error lockout mode with a rundown of the combustion air fan. This will set one or
more DTCs in the DCHA Control’s memory. If six
continuous attempts to start the heater fail due to
one or more faults in the DCHA system, the heater
enters a heater lockout mode. This will set DTC
B1813 along with any other fault(s) that the DCHA
Control identified.
26
Page 58
GENERAL INFORMATION
3.11.3.3HEATING
During the automatically controlled heating operation, when the coolant temperature reaches
76°C (169°F), the heater will switch to a part load
operation. When the coolant temperature reaches
83°C (181°F) or if the heater runs for longer than 76
minutes the heater will switch to a control idle
period. If the coolant temperature drops to 73°C
(163°F) during a control idle period, the heater will
perform a regular starting sequence into full load
operation. A drop in coolant temperature to 66°C
(151°F) during part load operation will cause the
heater to switch to a full load operation.
3.11.3.4DEACTIVATION
For vehicles with a Manual Temperature Control
system, the DCHA will deactivate if the:
• engine is turned off.
• coolant temperature reaches 83°C (181°F).
• heater runs longer than 76 minutes (for normal
automatic controlled heating operation).
• heater reaches 5-minute timeout period (for once
per ignition cycle operation).
• fuel tank has less than 1/8 of a tank of fuel.
• Power switch on the A/C - Heater Control Module
is off.
• Blend Control on the A/C - Heater Control Mod-
ule is set below 75% reheat. 5 detents
For vehicle’s with aAutomaticTemperature Control
system, the DCHA will deactivate if the:
• engine speed drops below 500 rpm.
• engine is turned off.
• coolant temperature reaches 83°C (181°F).
• heater runs longer than 76 minutes.
• fuel tank has less than 1/8 of a tank of fuel.
• Power switch on the Automatic Temperature
Control is off.
• Comfort level is attained as determined by the
temperature setting on the Automatic Tempera-
ture Control.
When the heater is deactivated, the combustion
stops and a run-down sequence begins. During the
run-down sequence, the combustion air fan continues operation to cool down the heater. The fan is
automatically switched off after the run-down sequence is complete. The run-down time and the
combustion air fan speed depend on the heater
operating condition at the time of deactivation.
Run-down time is approximately 175 seconds when
deactivated in full load operation and approximately 100 seconds when deactivated in part load
operation. This also shuts off the DCHA active
telltale in the instrument cluster.
3.11.3.5SYSTEM REVISIONS
The 2005 DCHA system remains mostly carryover
from 2004. Revisions to the 2005 DCHA system
include:
• a new telltale in the instrument cluster which
illuminates when the Cabin Heater is operational. Messages bussed from either the ATC or
MTC Module tells the instrument cluster when to
illuminate the telltale and when to shut it off.
3.11.4DIAGNOSTICS
The DCHA is fully addressable with the DRBIIIt.
System tests include a Field Mode Test to activate
the DCHA for diagnostic testing purposes. The
DCHA Control will store up to three DTCs in its
memory. If the Controller detects a new fault in the
DCHA system, one that is not already stored in its
memory, it will clear the oldest of the three stored
DTCs, and it will store the new fault’s DTC. If the
Controller detects a reoccurrence of a stored fault, it
will overwrite that fault’s DTC with the most recent
occurrence.
For vehicles equipped with Automatic Temperature Control (ATC), the AC Cooldown Test will also
activate the DCHA for diagnostic testing purposes.
TheAC Cooldown Testis actuated with the DRBIII.
The test checks A/C system performance based on
evaporator temperature sensor input. It also forces
the ATC to initiate a Cabin Heater Activation request when the vehicle is equipped with a Diesel
Cabin Heater Assist (DCHA). The air conditioning
related portion of this test will not run if ambient
temperature is below 12°C (53°F). However, the
forced Cabin Heater activation will occur even if the
air conditioning portion of this test fails to initiate
because test criteria was not met. The air conditioning related portion of this test will pass if the
evaporator temperature drops 6.7°C (20°F) within
two minutes of starting this test. Only air conditioning related messages display on the DRBIIIt after
running this test. These messages will clear after
paging back out of this test. Therefore, it is important to note all of the AC Cooldown test messages
before doing so. Running the AC Cooldown test will
cause the DELAY and Snowflake VF segments on
the ATC to flash for 162 seconds. If the air conditioning portion of this test fails, the DELAY and
Snowflake VF segments will continue to flash until
the vehicle is driven more than three miles.
3.12INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
The Instrument Cluster receives and sends messages to other modules via the PCI bus circuit. The
27
Page 59
GENERAL INFORMATION
indicator lamps will illuminate briefly for a bulb
check when the ignition is turned from off to run.
All of the gauges receive their information via the
PCI bus from the powertrain control module and
body control module.
The gauges and the LEDs are not individually
replaceable thereby requiring complete replacement of the Instrument Cluster if a repair is necessary. In the event that the Instrument Cluster loses
communication with other modules on the PCI bus,
the cluster will display “no bus” in the VF display.
The Trip/Reset button is used to switch the display from trip to total mileage. Holding the button
when the display is in the trip mode will reset the
trip mileage. This button is also used to put the
cluster into self-diagnostic mode. The odometer
display uses blue-green vacuum fluorescent digital
characters.
On base models, the Instrument Cluster has
three gauges: Speedometer,fuel and temperature. A
red dot appears through openings in the Instrument Cluster face (P-R-N-D-2-1) to indicate the
gear selected.
With other models, the Instrument Cluster may
also include a tachometer and use a vacuumfluorescent shift indicator.
The high-line Instrument Cluster features Electroluminescent Illumination of the gauge faces (EL
Panel). This feature eliminates the use of bulbs for
gauge/panel lighting. In a manner similar to fluorescent lights, a/c voltage from an inverter integrated circuit chip is applied to the phosphorescent
material, causing it to glow. The phosphorescent
material is screen-printed onto flexible Mylar
sheets that form the gauge faces.
The odometer display and door/liftgate ajar indicators turn on when a door is opened to assist both
the customer and service technician to view the
odometer without turning the ignition on.
On models with AutoStick, the display includes
an O/D OFF indicator that is illuminated when the
driver presses the Overdrive Off button on the
transaxle shifter.
For complete details of the Instrument Cluster,
refer to the RS/RG Service Manual.
3.12.1INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SELF TEST
1. Depress and hold the Odometer Reset button.
2. Turn the ignition switch to on.
3. Release the Odometer reset button.
The Instrument Cluster will illuminate all indicators and step the gauges through several calibration points. Also, the odometer will display any
stored codes that may have set.
3.12.2MESSAGE CENTER (EXPORT
ONLY)
The Message Center is above the brow of the
Instrument Cluster. It houses the following warning indicators: Water & Fuel, High Beam, Left and
Right turn signals, Glow Plug, and Supplimental
Heat. On base models equipped with the threespeed transaxle, these indicators appear in the face
of the cluster. The Security Alarm set indicator is
now a large red circle symbol.
3.13INTERIOR LIGHTING
3.13.1COURTESY LAMP CONTROL
The body controller has direct control over all of
the vehicle’s courtesy lamps. The body computer
will illuminate the courtesy lamps under any of the
following conditions:
1. Any door ajar and courtesy lamp switch on the
headlamp switch is not in the dome off position.
2. The courtesy lamp switch on the headlamp
switch is in the dome on position.
3. A Remote Keyless Entry unlock message is re-
ceived.
4. Driver door unlocked with key (with VTSS only).
3.13.2ILLUMINATED ENTRY
Illuminated entry will be initiated when the customer enters the vehicle by unlocking the doors
with the key fob, or with the key if the vehicle is
equipped with vehicle theft alarm. Upon exiting the
vehicle, if the lock button is pressed with a door
open, illuminated entry will cancel when the door
closes. If the doors are closed and the ignition
switch is turned on, the illuminated entry also
cancels. The illuminated entry feature will not
operate if the courtesy lamp switch is in the dome
off position.
3.13.3INTERIOR LIGHTING BATTERY
SAVER
If any of the interior lamps are left on after the
ignition is turned off, the BCM will turn them off
after 8 minutes. To return to normal operation, the
courtesy lamps will operate after the dome lamp
switch or door ajar switch changes state. The glove
box and switched reading lamps require that the
ignition be turned to the on/acc position.
3.14MEMORY SYSTEM
The memory system consists of power driver’s
seat, power mirror, adjustable pedals and radio
presets. The Memory Seat/Mirror/Adjustable Ped-
28
Page 60
GENERAL INFORMATION
als Module (MSMAPM) is located under the driver’s
seat. It receives input from the following: driver’s
manual 8-way seat switch, driver’s seat position
sensors, PCI bus circuits, and the power mirror
sensors. The module uses these inputs to perform
the following functions: position the driver’s memory seat, both exterior mirrors (during recalls), both
pedals, and send/receive the memory system information over the PCI bus.
The Memory Set Switch is wired to the Body
Control Module (BCM). A button (either #1 or #2)
pressed on the set switch causes the BCM to send a
message to the MSMAPM which in turn will send a
motion status message back to the BCM. If the
message from the MSMAPM indicates no current
motion, the BCM will send a recal message to the
module. The MSMAPM will set the seat, exterior
mirror, pedals, and radio to the presets for the
indicated driver.
If any one of the memory controlled systems is
inoperative from its manual switch, use the schematics and diagnostic information to correct the
concern. This manual addresses the memory problems only and it is assumed there is not a basic
component failure.
motor would be detected by the MSMAPM and the
corresponding seat output would be deactivated.
However, if the object obstructing the seat is removed, the seat will function normally again.
3.14.2MEMORY MIRROR
The driver sideview mirror contains vertical and
horizontal bi-directional drive positioning motors
and position sensors. The MSMAPM provides a
5-volt reference on the signal circuit to each position
sensor. The sensors share a common ground circuit.
The MSMAPM monitors the position of the mirror
motors by measuring the voltage on each signal
circuit. When a memory position is set, the MSMAPM monitors and stores the position of the
outside mirror. The MSMAPM adjusts the mirror to
the appropriate positions when a memory recall
message is received from the RKE or is requested
from the memory set switch.
The power mirror switch during non-memory
operation operates the mirror independently of the
MSMAPM.
3.15OVERHEAD CONSOLE
3.14.1POWER SEAT
The memory power seat provides the driver with
2 position settings for the driver’s seat. Each power
seat motor is connected to the MSMAPM with two
motor drive circuits. Each circuit is switched between battery and ground. By being able to bidirectionally drive the circuits, the MSMAPM controls the movement of the motors based on input
from the power seat switch or from the position
sensors when performing a memory recall. Each
motor contains a potentiometer to monitor the seat
position. To monitor the position of the motor, the
MSMAPM sends out a 5-volt reference on the sensor supply circuit. The sensor is grounded back to
the module on a common ground circuit. Based on
the position of the sensor, the MSMAPM monitors
the voltage change through the sensor on a separate
signal circuit.
The MSMAPM stores the input value of each of
the four seat potentiometers in memory when the
system requests a set. The driver can initiate a
memory recall, using either the door mounted memory switch or the RKE transmitter (if the remote
linked to memory feature is enabled via the EVIC).
When initiated, the MSMAPM adjusts the four seat
sensors (by using the motors) to match the memorized seat position data.
For safety, the memory seat recall is disabled by
the MSMAPM when the vehicle is out of park
position or if the speed is not zero. Any obstruction
to seat movement over a 2-second delay will cause
the seat to stop moving in which case a stalled
COMPASS/TEMPERATURE MODULE,
COMPASS/MINI-TRIP COMPUTER or
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
TheCompass/TemperatureModule(CT),
Compass/Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) or Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) is located
in the overhead console. The CT provides the vehicle operator with only outdoor temperature and the
compass heading. The CMTC or EVIC supplements
the standard vehicle instrumentation. The CMTC
and EVIC use a vacuum fluorescent (VF) display to
supply the vehicle operator with a compass heading, outdoor temperature, average fuel economy,
distance to empty, trip odometer, elapsed ignition
on time, distance to service, warning messages, and
service messages.
The difference between a CMTC and an EVIC is
that only the EVIC provides additional memory,
feature programming, and warning messages. The
EVIC is capable of displaying warning messages
and memory system messages when the vehicle is
equipped with memory systems. The EVIC also
provides the interface to enable and disable vehicle
programmablefeatures whenthevehicle is
equipped with certain features.
If equipped, the EVIC is also available with an
integrated Universal Garage Door Opener (UGDO)
known as HomeLinkt. The EVIC may also be
equipped with up to 4 power door switches: ON/
OFF, Left Sliding Door, Right Sliding Door, and
Liftgate.

The BCM supplies most of the information displayed by the CMTC/EVIC. Display information,
except for the internal compass function, is received
over the PCI bus. The FCM supplies the ambient
temperature sensor information via the PCI bus.
The CMTC/EVIC sends and receives data over the
PCI bus, communicating with the BCM, PCM,
FCM, and the Instrument Cluster. Tire Pressure
Monitoring System information is received from the
SKREEM via PCI bus information. The tire pressure sensors are mounted to the vehicle wheels. For
complete information, refer to the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System section in this publication.

GENERAL INFORMATION
RESET BUTTON
The RESET Button has two different functions:
1. To clear the trip functions that may be reset
2. To enter and exit the diagnostic mode
Pressing the RESET button once will clear the
trip function that is currently being displayed (except Distance to Service) and the CMTC/EVIC will
send a PCI bus beep request to the BCM. If the
RESET button is pressed again within 3 seconds,
the CMTC/EVIC will resetALL of the trip functions
and an additional beep request is sent to the BCM.
The trip functions that may be reset are:
• Average Fuel Economy
• Trip Odometer
• Elapsed Time
A reset will only occur if one of the trip functions
that may be reset is currently being displayed.
Pressing the RESET button for more than three (3)
seconds resets the Distance to Service function
while the Distance to Service message is being
displayed. The CMTC/EVIC module will send a
beep request to the BCM.
Simultaneously pressing the RESET button and
the STEP button while turning the ignition from
Off to On will enter the CMTC/EVIC into the
self-diagnostic mode.
COMPASS/TEMPERATURE (C/T) BUTTON
Actuating theCompass/Temperature Button
(C/T) will cause the CMTC/EVIC to display the
compass and temperature information. This function will operate from another traveler display or
from the programmable feature mode.
3.15.2TRAVELER DISPLAY FUNCTIONS
Using the STEP button will change the CMTC/
EVIC between modes of operation and display the
appropriate information according to data received
from the PCI Bus.
COMPASS/TEMPERATURE
The CMTC/EVIC simultaneously displays the
compass reading and the outside temperature. Outside temperature information is received via the
PCI bus from the FCM.
The CMTC/EVIC module internally senses and
calculates the compass direction.
COMPASS OPERATION - ALL
Upon ignition on, if the calibration information
stored in the CMTC memory is within the normal
range, the CMTC will perform in slow Auto-Cal
mode. In slow Auto-Cal mode, the CMTC continuously compensates for the slowly changing magnetic field of the vehicle. The compass module
detects changes in the vehicle magnetism and
makes appropriate internal corrections to ensure
proper displayed direction.
However, if the calibration information stored in
the CMTC memory is not within the normal range
at ignition on, the CMTC will enter fast Auto-Cal.
CAL is displayed along with the temperature.
Auto activation of the fast Auto-Cal mode will
also occur when the CMTC is subjected to high
magnetic field strength levels, which cause all compass readings to be erroneous for a continuous
period of five (5) minutes. During fast Auto-Cal,
CAL will be displayed along with the temperature.
FastAuto-Cal can also be performed manually, by
pressing and holding the RESET button for 10
seconds during the Compass/Temperature display
mode.

VARIANCE
Variance is the difference between magnetic
North and geographic North. For proper compass
function, the correct variance zone must be set.
Refer to the Zone Variancemap for the correct zone.
Follow these steps to check or change the variance
zone:
CMTC/EVIC:
• The ignition switch must be in the On position
and the CMTC/EVIC display must not be blank.
• If the compass/temperature data is not currently
being displayed, momentarily press and release
the C/T button to display compass/temp informa-
tion.
• Pressand hold the RESET button (approximately
5 seconds) until VARIANCE = XX is displayed.
The CMTC/EVIC will display the variance zone
stored in memory and the word VARIANCE.
• Use the RESET button to select the proper vari-
ance zone number, 1 through 15.
• After selecting the proper zone number, momen-
tarily press and release the RESET button. The
variance zone is then stored in the memory and
the CMTC/EVIC returns to normal operation.
CT:
• The ignition switch must be in the On position
and the C/T display must not be blank.
• Press and hold the C/T and US/M buttons (ap-
proximately 5 seconds) until VARIANCE = XX is
displayed. The C/T will display the variance zone
stored in memory and the word VARIANCE.
• Use the US/M button to select the proper vari-
ance zone number, 1 through 15.
• After selecting the proper zone number, momen-
tarily press and release the C/T button. The
31
Page 63
GENERAL INFORMATION
variance zone is then stored in the memory and
the C/T returns to normal operation..
3.15.4COMPASS CALIBRATION
The compass module has 2 types of autocalibration; slow-cal and fast-cal. Slow-cal ensures
that during normal vehicle operation the compass
performs auto-calibration functions to keep the
compass sensors in their proper operating range.
Whenever the ignition is On and the CT/CMTC/
EVIC receives PCI bus data indicating that engine
RPM is greater than zero, auto-calibration is performed continuously.
If the calibration information stored in the compass module memory is not within the normal
range after a power-up cycle, the compass will
display CAL. The CT/CMTC/EVIC will enter into
the fast-cal mode until calibration is complete.
To enter the compass into Manual Calibration
mode, perform the following steps:
• Drive the vehicle to an area away from any large
metal objects or overhead power lines.
• Ensure that the proper variance zone is selected.
See 9Setting Magnetic Zone Variance.9
• The ignition switch must be in the On position
and the CMTC/EVIC display must not be blank.
• Press the C/T button to view the Compass/
Temperature display.
• Pressand hold the RESET button (approximately
10 seconds) until CAL is displayed, then release
the button.
• Drive slowly, less than 5 MPH (8KPH) in at least
1 complete 360-degree circle.
• CAL will remain illuminated to alert the driver
that the compass is in the calibration mode.
• After calibration is complete, CAL will turn off.
NOTE: For C/T Manual Calibration, perform
the same procedure as above, but press and
hold the C/T and US/M buttons until CAL is
displayed.
If the compass appears blank, unable to be calibrated, or the compass displays false indications,
the vehicle must be demagnetized. Refer to Compass Demagnetizing Procedure in the Service Manual.
3.15.5SELF-CHECK DIAGNOSTICS
The CT/CMTC/EVIC is capable of performing a
diagnostic self check on its internal functions. Diagnostics may be performed using a DRBIIIt or by
using the following procedure:
1. For CMTC/EVIC: With the ignition switch in the
OFF position, depress and hold the RESET and
the STEP buttons.
For CT: With the ignition switch in the OFF
position, depress and hold the C/T and the US/M
buttons.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Continue to hold both buttons until the software
versions are displayed, then release the buttons.
4. All of the VFD segments will illuminate for 2-4
seconds. Check for segments that do not illuminate or illuminate all the time.
5. When the self-check is complete the EVIC will
display one of the following messages:
• PASS SELF TEST
• FAILED SELF TEST
• NOT RECEIVING J1850 MESSAGE
When the self-check is complete the CT/CMTC
will display one of the following messages:
• PASS
• FAIL
• BUS
1. To exit the self-check mode:
For the CMTC/EVIC: Depress the STEP or RESET button, or cycle the ignition switch and the
CMTC/EVIC will return to normal operation.
For the C/T: Depress the C/T or US/M button, or
cycle the ignition switch and the CT will return to
normal operation.
If a Communication fault is displayed, refer to the
symptom list. If a FAIL or FAILED is displayed, the
CT/CMTC/EVIC must be replaced.
3.15.6AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The ambient air temperature is monitored by the
FCM and displayed by the CT/CMTC/EVIC. The
FCM receives a hardwire input from the ambient
temperature sensor (ATS).
The ATS is a variable resistor that operates on a
5-volt reference signal circuit hardwired from the
FCM. The resistance in the ATS changes as the
outside temperature rises or falls. The FCM senses
the change in reference voltage through the ATS
resistor. Based on the resistance of the ATS, the
FCM is programmed to correspond to a specific
32
Page 64
GENERAL INFORMATION
temperature. The FCM stores and filters the ambient temperature data and transmits this data to the
CMTC/EVIC via the PCI Bus. The ATS cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it
must be replaced.
3.15.7AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
FAULT CODES
The outside temperature function is supported by
the ambient temperature sensor (ATS), a signal and
ground circuit hardwired to the FCM, and the
CMTC/EVIC display.
If the ATS sense circuit is shorted to ground, the
temp display will be 54°C (130°F) to indicate a
SHORT circuit condition.
If the ATS sense circuit is open, the temp display
will be -40°C (-40°F) to indicate an OPEN circuit
condition.
If there is an OPEN or SHORT circuit condition,
it must be repaired before the CMTC/EVIC VFD
can be tested.
The ATS is supported by the FCM. Ambient
Temperature Sensor DTCs will be recorded in the
FCM. The ATScan be diagnosed using the following
Sensor Test. Test the ATS circuits using the diagnostics in the Body Diagnostic Procedures Manual.
If the CMTC/EVIC passes the self-test, and the
ATS, the circuits, and PCI bus communications are
confirmed to be OK, but the CMTC/EVIC temperature display is inoperative or incorrect, replace the
FCM.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR TEST
1. Turn the ignition OFF.
2. Disconnect the ATS harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the ATS using the
following min/max values:
• 0° C (32° F) Sensor Resistance = 29.33 - 35.99
Kilohms
• 10° C (50° F) Sensor Resistance = 17.99 - 21.81
Kilohms
• 20° C (68° F) Sensor Resistance = 11.37 - 13.61
Kilohms
• 25° C (77° F) Sensor Resistance = 9.12 - 10.86
Kilohms
• 30° C (86° F) Sensor Resistance = 7.37 - 8.75
Kilohms
• 40° C (104° F) Sensor Resistance = 4.90 - 5.75
Kilohms
The sensor resistance should read between these
min/max values. If the resistance values are not
OK, replace the Sensor.
3.15.8HOMELINKT UNIVERSAL
TRANSMITTER
If equipped, the HomeLinkt Universal Transmitter is integrated into the overhead console. For
added security it will operate home security systems that use coded signals known generically as
Rolling Codes. The overhead console display provides visual feedback to the driver,indicating which
HomeLinkt transmitter channel button is being
pressed. The HomeLinkt can learn and store up to
three separate transmitter radio frequency codes to
operate garage door openers, security gates, and
security lighting. The HomeLinkt buttons are
marked with one, two, or three dots. For complete
information, refer to Universal Transmitter in the
Service Manual or the Owner’s Manual.
3.15.9TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
If equipped with the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS), each of the vehicles four wheels
(spare wheel optional) will have a valve stem with a
pressure sensor and radio transmitter built in.
Signals from the tire pressure Sensor/Transmitter
are received and interpreted by the Sentry Key
Remote Entry Module (SKREEM). Using the DRBIIIt, go to ANTI-THEFT for the SKREEM data.
A Sensor/Transmitter in a mounted wheel will
broadcast an RF frequency indicating its pressure
once per minute when the vehicle is in drive mode.
To activate the Sensor/Transmitter operation, the
required SKREEM speed is 13 mph (20 km/h). Each
Sensor/Transmittersbroadcast is uniquely coded so
that the SKREEM can monitor the states of each
Sensor/Transmitter on the vehicle. The SKREEM
TPMS does not use a magnet to relearn, it automatically learns while driving after a SKREEM or a
Sensor/Transmitter has been replaced.
3.15.9.1TRAINING THE SKREEM
If a Sensor/Transmitter is replaced, the vehicle
has to be parked for at least 15 minutes for the
system to be ready to learn the new Sensor/
Transmitter ID code. The vehicle then must be
driven for a minimum of five minutes with a minimum continuous speed above 13 mph (20 km/h).
The system will learn the new Sensor/Transmitter
and clear the DTC’s automatically. The Sensor/
Transmitters are programmed at the assembly
plant in this clockwise orientation:
Sensor/Transmitter 1 = Left Front
Sensor/Transmitter 2 = Right Front
Sensor/Transmitter 3 = Right Rear
Sensor/Transmitter 4 = Left Rear
33
Page 65
GENERAL INFORMATION
NOTE:
1. If one or all Sensor/Transmitters cannot
be trained, check for and avoid RF
interference.
2. If one Sensor/Transmitter still cannot be
trained, replace it and retry.
3. If all Sensor/Transmitters still fail to
train, replace the SKREEM.
3.15.9.2PRESSURE THRESHOLDS
The SKREEM will monitor the tire pressure
signals from the Sensor/Transmitters and determine if any tire has gone below the low-pressure
thresholds. Refer to the table below:
LOW TIRE PRESSURE THRESHOLDS
SYSTEM STATUS
INDICATOR
ON193 kPa (28 PSI)
OFF227 kPa (33 PSI)
TIRE PRESSURE
3.15.9.3ACTIVE FAULT AND SYSTEM
ALERTS
An active fault will be triggered when a system
failure has been detected. When this occurs, the
Instrument Cluster will illuminate the TPMS indicator and the SKREEM will store the fault code. An
alert will be triggered when a tire pressure has gone
below the set threshold pressure. The SKREEM
will request a message to be displayed on the EVIC
(if equipped). Only when a tire pressure has gone
below the set threshold pressure will the SKREEM
illuminate the TPMS indicator and request the
EVIC message (if equipped). This action will be
displayed as long as the fault/alert condition is
active.
3.16PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
The Park Assist System display activates an
audible tone that changes from intermittent to
continuous as the final two Light Emitting Diodes
(LED’s) are illuminated on one side or both sides of
the display.
The system detection length from the rear of the
vehicle is 0.3 meters to 1.5 meters. This area
extends around the rear side of the vehicle. The
system detection height from the ground is 0.2
meters to about 1.5 meters. The radio mutes when
the system activates its audible tone.
When the driver selects Reverse or Neutral the
system scans for objects behind the vehicle using
four sensors located in the rear bumper.Objects can
be detected from up to 1.5 meters. A warning
display above the rear window provides both visible
and audible warnings indicating the range of the
object.
The system is active only when the vehicle is in
reverse or neutral for vehicle speeds less than 16
Km/h (10 mph). If the vehicles Parking/Emergency
Brake is applied, the system is deactivated.
The display contains two sets of yellow and red
Light Emitting Diode’s (LED’s) that the driver can
see in the rear view mirror. Each side of the vehicle
has its own warning LED’s. The system provides a
visual warning by illuminating one or more yellow
LED’s as the vehicle gets closer to the object. As the
vehicle continues to approaches the object, one red
LED is illuminated and the system emits a series of
short beeps. The tone will remain constant and both
red LED’s are illuminated once the vehicle is within
12 inches (30.5 cm) of the object.
The system can be turned ON or OFF through the
Electronic VehicleInformation Center (EVIC) when
the vehicle is in PARK. If the park assist system is
turned OFF, a single chime will sound and the
EVIC will display the following message ‘‘REAR
PARK ASSIST OFF’’, when the vehicle is in reverse.
• Ensure that the rear bumper is free of dirt and
debris to keep the system operating properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations
could affect the performance of the system.
• Ensure that the parking brake is not applied.
If ‘‘Service Park Assist System’’ appears in the
EVIC after making sure the rear bumper is clean,
proceed to diagnose the system using a scan tool
and the appropriate diagnostic information.
3.17POWER DOOR LOCK SYSTEM
When the BCM receives input for a lock request
from a door lock switch, RKE or cylinder lock switch
(only with VTSS), it will turn the lock drivers on for
a specified time of 375 msec. If the request is there
beyond 375 msec, the BCM considers the door lock
signal stuck. Once a door lock or unlock signal is
stuck for longer than 10 seconds, the BCM will set
a trouble code and the signal input is ignored until
the stuck condition disappears. The door lock
switches provide a variable amount of resistance
thereby dropping the voltage of the multiplexed
(MUX) circuit and the BCM will respond to that
command.
3.17.1DOOR LOCK INHIBIT
When the key is in the ignition and in any
position and either front door is open, the door lock
switches LOCK functions are disabled. The UNLOCK functions are still functional. This protects
against locking the vehicle with the keys still in the
ignition. The RKE key fob will still lock the doors as
34
Page 66
GENERAL INFORMATION
usual. After the key is removed from the ignition or
the doors are closed, the power door locks will
operate normally.
3.17.2AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS
This feature can be enabled or disabled by using
either the DRBIIIt or the customer programming
method. When enabled all the doors will lock when
the vehicle reaches a speed greater than 18 MPH
(29 KMH) and all the doors are closed. If a door is
opened and the vehicle slows to below 18 MPH
(29 KMH), the door locks will operate again once all
doors are closed and the speed is above 18 MPH (29
KMH).
3.17.3REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The RKE transmitter uses radio frequency signals to communicate with the SKREEM module.
The SKREEM is on the PCI bus. When the operator
presses a button on the transmitter, it sends a
specific request to the SKREEM. In turn the
SKREEM sends the appropriate request over the
PCI Bus to the:
• Body Control Module (BCM) to control the door
lock and unlock functions, the arming and dis-
arming of the Vehicle Theft Security System (if
equipped), and the activation of illuminated en-
try.
• Integrated Power Module (IPM) to activate the
park lamps, the headlamps, and the horn for
horn chirp.
• Power Liftgate Module (PLGM) to control the
liftgate operation (double press).
• Power Sliding Door Module (PSDM) to control
the sliding door operation (double press).
After pressing the lock button on the RKE transmitter, all of the door locks will lock, the illuminated
entry will turn off (providing all doors are closed),
and the vehicle theft security system (if equipped)
will arm. After pressing the unlock button, on the
RKE transmitter, one time, the driver door lock will
unlock, the illuminated entry will turn on the
courtesy lamps, and the vehicle theft security system (if equipped) will disarm. After pressing the
unlock button a second time, the remaining door
locks will unlock. The EVIC or the DRBIIIt can
reprogram this feature to unlock all of the door
locks with one press of the unlock button. If the
vehicle is equipped with the memory system, the
memory message will identify which transmitter (1
or 2) sent the signal.
The SKREEM is capable of retaining up to 8
individual access codes (8 transmitters). If the
PRNDL is in any position except park, the
SKREEM will disable the RKE. The 3 or 6 button
transmitter uses 1-CR2032 battery. The minimum
battery life is approximately 5 years based on 20
transmissions a day at 84°F (25°C). Use the
DRBIIIt or the Miller Tool 9001 RF Detector to test
the RKE transmitter. Use the DRBIIIt or the customer programming method to program the RKE
system. However, the SKREEM will only allow
RKE programming when the ignition is in the on
position, the PRNDL is in park position, and the
VTSS (if equipped) is disarmed.
3.17.3.1PANIC FUNCTION
Pressing the panic button on the RKE transmitter will cause the headlamp relay, the park lamp
relay, and the horn relay to pulsate, which in turn
will cause the exterior lamps to flash and the horn
to sound intermittently. It will also cause the courtesy lamp relay to actuate, turning on the courtesy
lamps. Pressing the panic button again stops the
headlamps and the park lamps from flashing and
the horn from sounding. However, the courtesy
lamps will remain on until either the BCM times
out lamp operation or until the ignition is turned
on. The panic feature operates for three minutes at
a time, unless the operator cancels it, or the ignition
is turned on.
Actuating the headlamp, horn, park lamps, and
courtesy lamps with the DRBIIIt will verify if the
circuits and the Integrated Power Module are OK.
If the panic feature is still inoperable with all
transmitters, it will be necessary to replace the
SKREEM. If the function is inoperable with just
one transmitter, then replace only that transmitter.
3.17.3.2ROLLING CODE
The rolling code feature changes part of the
transmitter message each time that it is used. The
transmitter message and the receiver message increment together. Under certain conditions with a
rolling code system (pressing a button on the RKE
transmitter over 255 times outside the receiver
range, battery replacement, etc.), the receiver and
transmitter can fall out of synchronization. Note:
The lock function works from the RKE transmitter
even in an out of synchronization condition and
therefore it could be verified by pressing the LOCK
button on theRKE integrated key.To resynchronize, press and release the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter repeatedly (it may take
up to eight cycles) while listening carefully for the
power door locks in the vehicle to cycle, indicating
that resynchronization has occurred.
3.17.3.3PROGRAMMABLE DOOR LOCK
FEATURES
• The RKE can be changed to unlock all doors with
one press
35
Page 67
GENERAL INFORMATION
• The Automatic Door Locks can be enabled/
disabled
• Auto Unlock on Exit can be enabled/disabled
• RKE horn chirp on lock can be enabled/disabled
• RKE optical chirp (turn signal lamps) can be
enabled/disabled
• Program a new RKE transmitter.
• RKE linked to memory (if equipped with memory
system) enabled/disabled (DRBIIIt only). Allows
memory to be operable only from the driver door
switch.
3.18POWER FOLDING MIRRORS
The power folding mirrors are powered to two
positions: folded and unfolded. The driver may
choose fold or unfold with a switch that is located on
the right side of the steering column. The folding
mirror switch grounds a sense wire that comes from
the Body Control Module when it is placed in the
fold position. The mirrors will move to the position
designated by the switch whether the ignition
switch is the On or Off position and both front doors
are closed. When the Power Folding Mirror switch
is left in the fold position during a vehicle exit the
mirrors will automatically unfold then refold after
both front doors are closed. This is to prevent mirror
contact with either front door when opened. When
opening either front door, the Body Control Module
will unfold the mirrors in the following manner
depending on which front door is opened. If the
driver door is opened, only the driver side mirror
will unfold. If the passenger door is opened, both
mirrors will unfold. The passenger mirror is prevented from unfolding when the driver’s door is
opened by the Passenger Folding Mirror Relay,
which opens the driver circuit to the passenger side
mirror.
3.19POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM
3.19.1POWER LIFTGATE
The power liftgate (PLG) system is activated
through the use of the following: remote keyless
entry (RKE), overhead console switches, outside
liftgate handle switch or the DRBIIIt. These inputs
are hardwired to the body control module (BCM)
and can be monitored with a diagnostic tool. The
BCM will send the message via PCI bus to the
power liftgate module (PLGM). The liftgate must be
in the full open or full closed position to operate.
Once the BCM sends a button activation message to
the PLGM, the module shall read all inputs, outputs and vehicle conditions to determine whether it
shall open, close or inhibit the PLG operation. Once
the PLGM determines the vehicle conditions are
safe for operation, the PLGM will initiate a chime
for 2 seconds prior to the liftgate activation and 2
seconds during the open or close cycle.
During an opening or closing cycle, the PLGM can
detect an obstacle present should it meet sufficient
resistance by the hall effect sensors (integrated in
the gear motor assembly GMA).
During an open cycle, multiple liftgate activations (RKE, overhead console, B pillar) are ignored
until the liftgate reaches the full open position.
However, during a close cycle, a 2nd liftgate activation (RKE, overhead console, B pillar) will reverse
the liftgate to the full open position.
If the engine is cranked during a power open/close
the PLG will pause then resume after engine cranking. In addition, if the vehicle is placed in gear
during an open cycle, the PLG shall reverse direction and begin closing. If the vehicle is placed in
gear during a closing cycle, the PLG shall continue
closing until fully closed. If the outside handle is
activated during an open cycle, the PLG will become
a full manual liftgate. If the outside handle is
activated during a close cycle, the PLG shall reverse
direction of travel to the full open position.
3.19.2DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES
The PLG can be flashed on vehicle via PCI bus
with a DRBIIIt diagnostic tool. The DRBIIIt can
read all inputs, actuate all outputs, read module
information, and read diagnostic trouble codes.As a
reminder, some DTC’s can be set during normal
PLG operation.
3.19.3SYSTEM INHIBITORS
1. Battery voltage too high or too low (above 16V,
below 9.5V)
2. Vehicle in gear
3. Vehicle speed > 0 mph/km/h
4. Outside temperature too high, above 143°F
(62°C) or too low, below -12°F (-24°C).
5. O/H console lockout will inhibit the B pillar
switches only.
6. Liftgate locked will inhibit all interior switches
from opening (overhead console). A locked liftgate can be power closed.
7. Pinch Sensor switch stuck shall inhibit the
power close feature.
3.20POWER SLIDING DOOR SYSTEM
3.20.1POWER SLIDING DOOR
The Power Sliding Door (PSD) system is activated through the use of the following: Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE), overhead console switches, B
36
Page 68
GENERAL INFORMATION
pillar switches or the DRBIIIt. These inputs are
hardwired to the body control module (BCM) and
can be monitored with a diagnostic tool. The BCM
will send the message via PCI bus to the power
sliding door module (PSDM). The sliding door must
be in the full open or full closed position to operate.
Once the BCM sends a button activation message to
the PSDM, the module shall read all inputs, outputs and vehicle conditions to determine whether it
shall open, close or inhibit the PSD operation.
During an opening or closing cycle, the PSDM can
detect an obstacle present should it meet sufficient
resistance by the hall effect sensors (integrated in
the drive motor).
During an open cycle, multiple door activations
(RKE, overhead console, B pillar) are ignored until
the door reaches the full open position. However,
during a close cycle, a 2nd door activation (RKE,
overhead console, B pillar) will reverse the door to
the full open position.
If the engine is cranked during a power open/close
the PSD will pause then resume after engine cranking. In addition, if the vehicle is placed in gear
during an open cycle, the PSD shall reverse direction and begin closing. If the vehicle is placed in
gear during a closing cycle, the PSD shall continue
closing until fully closed.
If the inside or outside handle is activated during
an open or close cycle, the PSD will become a full
manual sliding door. The child lockout is mechanical only and has no effect on the B-pillar switch as
it did in previous models.
There is only one part number for the power
sliding door module (PSDM). The driver sliding
door harness has an additional ground circuit which
will identify it as the driver side. This eliminates
the need for a left and a right side module.
3.20.2DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES
The PSDM can be flashed on vehicle via PCI bus
with a DRBIIIt diagnostic tool. The DRBIIIt can
read all inputs, actuate all outputs, read module
information, and read diagnostic trouble codes.As a
reminder, some DTC’s can be set during normal
PSD operation.
3.20.3SYSTEM INHIBITORS
1. Battery voltage too high or too low (above 16V,
below 9.5V)
2. Vehicle in gear
3. Vehicle speed > 0 mph/km/h
4. O/H console lockout will inhibit the B pillar
switches
5. Doors locked will inhibit all interior switches
from opening (Overhead Console, B Pillar). A
locked sliding door can be power closed.
The defroster button located on the HVAC control
controls the rear window defogger,heated side view
mirrors and front wiper de-icer grid. In addition the
front wiper de-ice function is turned on when front
defog/defrost mode is selected.
When the defroster button is pushed, the HVAC
control sends a bus message over the PCI bus to the
Front Control Module (FCM) which controls the
Rear Window Defogger relay. The defroster LED
will illuminate when the defroster function is on.
The defroster will function for 10 minutes or can be
cycled off sooner by pressing the defroster button
again. The front wiper de-icer grid receives its 12
volts from the accessory relay through fuse 11 and
the HVAC control module supplies the grid ground.
3.22TELECOMMUNICATIONS
3.22.1HANDS FREE PHONE
OVERVIEW
The vehicle telecommunications system consists
of a Hands Free Module, Rear View Mirror, and a
Blue-tooth Hands Free Profile enabled cell phone.
The system allows vehicle occupants to use voice
recognition technology to make, receive and screen
phone calls without physically handling a cell
phone. The system has a programmable phone book
that can prevent the vehicle operator from becoming distracted searching for a specific number.
Seven different wireless phones can be programmed to operate each individual system. Each
of the seven phones is given a rank of priority when
programmed.
OPERATION
Incoming phone messages are transmitted to the
vehicle occupants through the vehicles audio system when the ignition is on and the wireless phone
is on. Upon receiving the signal from an incoming
phone call, the vehicle audio system will fade out
the current CD/DVD or radio output. The vehicle
occupants are then directed to accept or reject the
call. Outgoing audio messages are received through
the microphone located in the rearview mirror then
transmitted via hardwire to the Hands Free Module
and finally transmitted through the wireless phone.
Volume of the voice prompts and incoming conversation is controlled using the vehicles’ radio audio
controls and steering wheel controls if equipped.
The rear view mirror contains a Phone Switch,
Voice Recognition Switch and a microphone. The
rear view mirror transmits these inputs via hardwired circuits to the Hands Free Module.

GENERAL INFORMATION
3.23VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) is part
of the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM
monitors the vehicle doors, liftgate (export only),
hood (export only), and the ignition for unauthorized operation. The alarm activates by sounding
the horn, flashing the headlamps and the VTSS
indicator lamp. The VTSS does not prevent engine
operation, this is done with the Sentry Key Remote
Entry Module (SKREEM). The VTSS indicator
lamp will flash for approximately 15 seconds during
the arming process. If there is no interruption
during the arming process, upon completion the
VTSS indicator lamp will flash at a slower rate.
When the BCM receives an input to trigger the
alarm, the BCM will control the outputs of the
headlamps, horn, and VTSS lamp for approximately 15 minutes.
Arming (Active and Passive)
Active arming occurs when the ignition key is
removed, the RKE transmitter or door key cylinders
are used to lock the vehicle doors, whether the doors
are open or closed. The arming process is complete
only after all doors are closed.
Passive arming occurs when the ignition key is
removed, the driver door is opened, and the doors
are locked with the power door lock switch, and the
door is closed.
Disarming (Active and Passive)
Active disarming occurs when the RKE transmitter is used to unlock the vehicle doors. This disarming will also halt the alarm once it has been activated.
Passive disarming occurs upon normal vehicle
entry (unlocking driver door with the key) or turning the ignition switch on with a valid ignition key.
This disarming will also halt the alarm once it has
been activated.
Tamper Alert
The VTSS tamper alert will sound the horn three
times upon disarming after an initial alarming has
occurred to indicate a tamper condition has occurred.
Manual Override
The system will not arm if the doors are locked
using the manual lock control or if the locks are
actuated by an inside occupant after the doors are
closed.
Diagnosis
For complaints about the Vehicle Theft Alarm
triggering on its own, use the DRBIIIt and read the
Last VTSS Cause status.
3.23.1THATCHAM ALARM SYSTEM
(EXPORT ONLY)
The Thatcham Alarm Module monitors the vehicle doors, liftgate, hood and the interior of the
vehicle for unauthorized operation. The vehicle
doors, liftgate, and hood use ajar switches as inputs
to the BCM to indicate their current status. The
interior of the vehicle is secured by the use of
Intrusion Sensors. The Intrusion Sensors are used
as inputs to the Thatcham Alarm Module to report
any motion in the interior of the vehicle. The alarm
activates by sounding the siren, flashing the hazard
lamps, and the VTSS Indicator Lamp.
Arming
Before arming, all doors, liftgate, and the hood
must be completely closed. The system can only be
armed by locking the doors with the RKE transmitter.
Disarming
To disarm the alarm system, use the RKE transmitter or turn the ignition on with a valid ignition
key. This will also halt the alarm once it has been
activated.
NOTE: A powertrain control module from a
vehicle equipped with a vehicle theft security
system cannot be used in a vehicle that is not
equippedwithavehicletheftsecurity
system. If the VTSS indicator lamp comes on
after ignition on and stays on, the PCI Bus
Communication with the powertrain control
module has possibly been lost.
3.24WIPER SYSTEM
3.24.1FRONT WIPER
The front wiper/washer system consists of the
following features: lo-hi-speed, mist wipers, intermittent wipers and wipe after wash. The front
wiper system is only active when the ignition switch
is in the RUN/ACC position. The vehicle operator
selects the front wiper function using the front
wiper switch (a resistive multiplexed stalk switch)
which is integral to the Multi-Function Switch. The
front wiper switch is hardwired to the Body Control
Module (BCM). Upon receiving a wiper switch signal, the BCM sends a PCI Bus message to the Front
Control Module (FCM). The FCM controls the ON/
OFF relay, the HIGH/LOW relay and the front and
rear washer pump motors.
The Wiper system utilizes the BCM to control the
on/off and hi/low relays for the low and hi speed
wiper functions, intermittent wiper delay as the
switch position changes, pulse wipe, wipe after
wash mode and wiper motor functions. The BCM
38
Page 70
GENERAL INFORMATION
uses the vehicle speed input to double the usual
delay time below 10 MPH (16 KPH).
3.24.2SPEED SENSITIVE INTERMITTENT
WIPE MODE
There are 5 individual delay time settings with a
minimum delay of 1.7 seconds to a maximum of 18.4
seconds. When the vehicle speed is under 10 MPH
(16 KPH), the delay time is doubled, providing a
delay range of 3.4 seconds to 36.8 seconds.
3.24.3PULSE WIPE
When the wiper is in the off position and the
driver presses the wash button for more than .062
seconds, but less than .5 seconds, 2 wipe cycles in
low speed mode will be provided.
3.24.4PARK AFTER IGNITION OFF
Because the wiper relays are powered from the
battery, the BCM can run the wipers to park after
the ignition is turned off.
3.24.5WIPE AFTER WASH
When the driver presses the wash button for over
.5 seconds and releases it, the wiper will continue to
run for 2 additional wipe cycles.
3.24.6REAR WIPER
The rear wiper/washer system consists of the
following features: mist wipers, intermittent wipers
and wipe after wash. The rear wiper system is only
active when the ignition switch is in the RUN/ACC
position. The vehicle operator selects the rear wiper
function using one of the three buttons on the dash
mounted rear wiper switch. The rear wiper switch
is hardwired to the Body Control Module (BCM).
Upon receiving a wiper switch signal, the BCM
provides 12 volts to the rear wiper motor. Rear
washer occurs when the BCM receives a rear
washer switch ON input. The BCM sends a PCI Bus
message to the FCM requesting rear washer on.
The FCM activates the rear washer by providing a
ground for the rear washer motor.
3.24.8WIPE AFTER WASH
When the driver presses the wash button for over
1.5 seconds and releases it, the wiper will continue
to run for 2 additional wipe cycles.
3.25USING THE DRBIIIT
Refer to the DRBIIIt user guide for instructions
and assistance with reading trouble codes, erasing
trouble codes, and other DRBIIIt functions.
3.26DRBIIIT ERROR MESSAGES
Under normal operation, the DRBIIIt will display one of only two error messages: user-requested
WARM Boot or User-Requested COLD Boot. If the
DRBIIIt should display any other error message,
record the entire display and call the STAR Center.
This is a sample of such an error message display:
Press MORE to switch between this display
and the application screen.
Press F4 when done noting information.
3.27DRBIIIT DOES NOT POWER UP
(BLANK SCREEN)
If the LED’s do not light or no sound is emitted at
start up, check for loose cable connections or a bad
cable. Check the vehicle battery voltage (data link
connector cavity 16). A minimum of 11 volts is
required to adequately power the DRBIIIt. Check
for proper grounds at DLC cavities 4 and 5.
If all connections are proper between the
DRBIIIt and the vehicle or other devices, and the
vehicle battery is fully charged, an inoperative
DRBIIIt may be the result or a faulty cable or
vehicle wiring.
3.24.7SPEED SENSITIVE INTERMITTENT
WIPE MODE
The delay setting of the rear wiper system is
based solely on the vehicle speed. The delay time is
defined as the amount of time from the start of a
wipe to the beginning of the next wipe. The rear
wiper system delay time is based on the following:
7.75 - (MPH x .05) = Seconds delay
Examples:
At zero (0) MPH the delay is 7.75 seconds.
At 100 MPH the delay is 2.75 seconds.
3.28DISPLAY IS NOT VISIBLE
Low temperatures will affect the visibility of the
display. Adjust the contrast to compensate for this
condition.

4.3WARNINGS
ASSISTANT AVAILABLE TO OPERATE THE
DRBIIITOROTHERTESTEQUIPMENT.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CANRESULTINPERSONALINJURY OR
DEATH.
Before disconnecting any control module, make
sure the ignition is “off”. Failure to do so could
damage the module.
When testing voltage or continuity at any control
module, use the terminal side (not the wire end) of
the connector. Do not probe a wire through the
insulation; this will damage it and eventually cause
it to fail because of corrosion. Be careful when
performing electrical tests so as to prevent accidental shorting of terminals. Such mistakes can damage fuses or components. Also, a second code could
be set, making diagnosis of the original problem
more difficult.
