GENERAL INFORMATION
1.0INTRODUCTION
The procedures contained in this manual include
all the specifications, instructions and graphics
needed to diagnose 2001 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.

the location views of components. If the location
views shown are on a LHD vehicle, a RHD vehicle
will be symmetrically opposite.
3.0SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND
FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
The body system on the 2001 RG consists of a
combination of modules that communicate over the
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 module(s).All modules receive all the information trans-
1
Page 31
GENERAL INFORMATION
mitted 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.
3.1AIRBAG SYSTEM/OCCUPANT
RESTRAINT CONTROLLER SYSTEM
The 2001 Minivan Airbag System contain the
following components: Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), Airbag Warning Indicator, Clockspring,
Driver and Passenger Airbags, Seat belt Tensioners
(SBT), Hall-effect Seat Belt Switches (SBS), Left
and Right Side Airbag Control Module (SIACM),
and Seat (mounted side) Airbags.
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) is a
new type of Airbag Control Module (ACM) that
supports staged airbag deployment. Staged deployment is the ability to trigger airbag system squib
inflators all at once or 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 and
must be replaced.
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
impact sensor signal and the airbag system electrical circuits to determine the system readiness. The
ORC also monitors bus messages from both SIACM.
If the ORC detects a monitored system fault or
SIACM fault, it sends a message to the instrument
cluster via PCI bus to turn on the airbag warning
indicator. The ORC can set both active and stored
diagnostic trouble codes to aid in the diagnosing
system problems. See ORC/SIACM DIAGNOSTIC
TROUBLE CODES in this section.
The ORC has an internal accelerometer that
senses the rate of vehicle deceleration, which pro-
vides 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 Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) also uses the driver and front passenger
seat belt switch status (buckled or unbuckled) as
inputs to determine the level of airbag deployment,
low, medium, or high as well as whether or not the
seat belt tensioners should deploy. The ORC also
uses the crash severity to determine the level of
driver and front passenger deployment, low medium or high. When the programmed conditions are
met, the ORC sends an electrical signal to deploy
the appropriate airbag system components.

The airbag warning lamp 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 MIC performs a lamp check by turning the airbag warning
indicator on for 6-8 seconds. After the lamp check, if
the indicator turns on, 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 to
ground. 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
3.1.1DRIVER 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. The airbag module includes a housing to
which the cushion and hybrid inflator are attached
and sealed. The 2001 Minivan is equipped with
driver airbag with dual stage inflators that include
a small canister of highly compressed argon gas.
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) uses vehicle crash severity, driver seat belt switch status
(buckled or unbuckled) as inputs to determine the
level of airbag deployment. When supplied with the
proper electrical signal, the hybrid inflator or inflators discharge the compressed gas it contains directly into the cushion. The airbag module cannot
be repaired, and must be replaced if deployed or in
any way damaged.

3.1.2CLOCKSPRING
The clockspring is mounted on the steering column behind the steering wheel. This assembly
consist 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.
3.1.3PASSENGER AIRBAG
The airbag door in the instrument panel top cover
the glove box is the most visible part of the passenger side airbag system. The airbag door has a living
hinge at the top, which is secured to the instrument
panel top cover. Located under the airbag door is
the airbag cushion and its supporting components.
The airbag module includes a housing to which the
cushion and hybrid inflators are attached and
sealed. The 2001 Minivan is equipped with front
passenger airbag with dual stage inflators that
include a small canister of highly compressed argon
gas. The ORC uses vehicle crash severity, front
passenger seat belt switch status (buckled or unbuckled) inputs to determine the level of airbag
deployment. When supplied with the proper electrical signal, the hybrid inflator or inflators discharge

3.1.4SEAT 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 removed, the
occupant’s forward motion in an impact will be
reduced as will the likelihood of contacting repaired, if damaged or defective it must be replaced.

ORC uses seat belt switch inputs to determine the
appropriate level of airbag deployment. If the seat
belt switches are damaged or defective the seat belt
tensioner must be replaced. The ORC continuously
monitors the seat belt switch circuits for an open or
shorted conditions.
3.1.6SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG CONTROL
MODULE (SIACM)
Supplemental driver and front passenger seat
airbags provide side impact protection for the front
seat occupants. Each side airbag has it own side
impact airbag control module (SIACM) to provide
independent impact sensing and deployment. SIACM are located on the left and right B post just
above the seat belt retractor. One, same part number, side impact airbag control module (SIACM) is
used on both side of the vehicle. However,for proper
PCI bus operation each SIACM must have a unique
module identification. To provide the unique module identification for both, left and right, the
SIACM software looks for a ground on cavity 5 of
the SIACM connector. If cavity 5 is grounded the
SIACM communicates as a left SIACM otherwise it
communicates as a right SIACM. The SIACM performs self diagnostics and circuit tests to determine
5
Page 35
GENERAL INFORMATION
if the system is functioning properly. If the test
finds a problem the SIACM will set both active and
stored diagnostic trouble codes. If a DTC is active
the SIACM will request that the airbag warning
lamp be turned on. The results of the system test
are transmitted on the PCI Bus to the ORC once
each second or on change in lamp state. If the
warning lamp status message from the either SIACM contains a lamp on request, the ORC will set
an active DTC. At the same time as the DTC is set
the ORC sends a PCI Bus message to the mechanical instrument cluster (MIC) requesting the airbag
warning lamp be turned on. Observe all ORC warning and caution statements when servicing or handling the SIACM. SIACM are not repairable and
must be replaced if they are dropped.

3.1.7SEAT AIRBAGS (SAB)
The left and right seat airbag modules are located
in the outboard end of the front seat backs. The
airbag module contains a bag, an inflator (a small
canister of highly compressed argon gas) and a
mounting bracket. The seat airbag module cannot
be repaired and must be replaced if deployed or in
any way damaged. When supplied with the proper
electrical signal the inflator seals the hole in the
airbag cushion so it can discharge the compressed
gas it contains directly into the cushion. Upon
deployment, the seat back trim cover will tear open
and allow the seat airbag to fully deploy between
the seat and the door.

3.1.8ORC/SIACM DIAGNOSTIC 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 using the DRB.
Always begin diagnostic with the Table of Contents
6
Page 36
GENERAL INFORMATION
section 7.0. This will direct you to the specific test(s)
that must be performed. Active diagnostic trouble
codes for the airbag system are not permanent and
will change the moment the reason for the code is
corrected. In certain test procedures within this
manual, diagnostic trouble codes are used as a
diagnostic tool.
3.1.9ACTIVE 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 airbag control module checks that
circuit or component. It is impossible to erase an
active code. Active codes automatically erase by
themselves when the reason for the code has been
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.
3.1.10STORED CODES
Airbag codes are automatically stored in the
ORC’s memory as soon as the malfunction is detected. The exception is the Loss of Ignition Run
Only code which is an active code only.A stored code
indicates there was an active code present at some
time. However, the code currently may not be
present as an active code, although another code
could be active. When a trouble code occurs, the
airbag warning indicator illuminates for 12 seconds
minimum (even if the problem existed for less than
12 seconds). The code is stored, along with the time
in minutes it was active, and the number of times
the ignition has been cycled since the problem was
last detected. 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 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. If the malfunction reoccurs
before the count reaches 100, then the ignition cycle
counter will be reset and diagnostic trouble code
will continue to be a stored code. 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. 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.
3.2AUDIO SYSTEM
The following radios are all on the PCI Bus
system - RBB, RBK, RAZ, RAD, RBT,and RBY.The
remaining radio also available, the RAS, is NOT on
the PCI Bus. 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 RBB and RBK 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, except the RAS, 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:
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. The output DTC
could refer to the front or rear output or a left or
right output. The reason for the difference is the
pairing of the output sections of the radio. Some are
paired left and right, others are paired front and
rear.
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
7
Page 37
GENERAL INFORMATION
this type of system would only refer to this circuit.
A faulty speaker could not cause this DTC.
3.2.1REMOTE 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.
3.2.2CD 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 thru 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

3.3BODY 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 only, the transmission control module (TCM),
the mechanical instrument cluster (MIC), the front
control module (FCM), the occupant restraint controller (ORC), the compass/mini-trip (CMTC), the
electronic vehicle information center (EVIC), the
controller antilock brake (CAB), the HVAC control
module (ATC & MTC), the power sliding door (Left
& Right) modules (PSD), the power liftgate module
(PLG), the Audio system, the side impact airbag
control (left & right) modules (SIACM), the memory
seat/mirror module (MSMM), the RKE/thatcham
alarm module and the sentry key immobilizer module (SKIM). 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
• Compass/Minitrip Support
• Interior Lighting (Courtesy/Reading Lamps)
• BCM Diagnostic Reporting
• Electronic Liftgate Release (with Power Door
Locks)
• Exterior Lighting
• Power Folding Mirrors
• Remote Radio Controls
• Headlamp Time Delay (with/without Autohead-
lamps)

GENERAL INFORMATION
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 are B-Pillar
switches located on the Left and Right B-pillar
posts.
• 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.
3.4CHIME WARNING SYSTEM
TheBCMmonitorsthedoor/liftgateajar
switches, multifunction switches, headlight switch,
ignition switch, PCI bus, and the diagnostic tool to

GENERAL INFORMATION
3.5COMMUNICATION
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.
One splice called the Diagnostic Junction Port,
serves as the “Hub” of the bus. The Diagnostic
Junction Port provides an access point to isolate
most of the modules on the bus in order to assist in
diagnosing the circuit. The following modules are
used on the RG:
• Body Control Module
• Front Control Module
• Occupant Restraint Controller
• Left Side Impact Airbag Control Module
• Right Side Impact Airbag Control Module
• Controller Antilock Brake
• Powertrain Control Module
• Engine Control Module - Diesel Only
• Radio
• CD Changer
• Transmission Control Module
• Automatic Temperature Control Module
• A/C Heater Control Module (MTC)
• Sentry Key Immobilizer Module
• RKE/Thatcham Alarm Module
• Memory Seat/Mirror Module
• Overhead Console
• Mechanical Instrument Cluster
• Left Sliding Door Control Module
• Right Sliding Door Control Module
• Power Liftgate Module
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 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 circuit at either the Diagnostic
Junction Port or 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
• No response received from any module on the PCI
bus (except the PCM)
• 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 suspected, 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
3.7EXTERIOR LIGHTING SYSTEM
3.7.1HEADLAMP 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.
3.7.2HEADLAMP 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.
3.6DOOR 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.
3.7.3PARK 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.
3.7.4FOG 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.
3.7.5FOG 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.
12

GENERAL INFORMATION
3.7.6EXTERIOR 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.
3.7.7AUTO 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.
3.8FRONT 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
Intelligent 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:

3.8.1CONTROLLED 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.
Side airbag system
The FCM provides power to the Side Impact
Airbag Control Module (SIACM) system through
one “fuseless” circuit. This circuit is electronically
controlled and continuously monitored for malfunctions. Power is supplied in the ignition RUN and
START positions on pin 28 of the FCM connector.
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 (RH low on pin
6, RH high on pin 4, LH low on pin 3 and LH high
on pin 5). For vehicles equipped with Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL), the FCM electronically
steps down the headlamp voltage to provide the
desired illumination.
13
Page 43
GENERAL INFORMATION
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
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. The low side circuit is connected to pin 45 in
the FCM connector.
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. The low side circuit is connected to pin 46 in
the FCM connector.
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.
3.8.2RELAY 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
on pin 33 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 on pin 13 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 on pin 14 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 on pin 34 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
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.
14
Page 44
GENERAL INFORMATION
Front and rear blower relay
The blower control switch is part of the Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC) or A/C-Heater Control
Module, (Manual Temp). When the blower switch is
turned on, the ATC or A/C-Heater Control Module
sends a PCI Bus message to the FCM. The front and
rear blower relay is then powered through low side
control on pin 30 of the FCM. The relay provides the
high side to the blower motor, and the blower speed
is governed through low side control in the ATC or
A/C-Heater Control Module. 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 or A/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.
Cabin Heater Relay
When the ignition is in Run, the FCM monitors
the PCI bus for the Cabin Heater Activation request. The A/C – Heater Control Module initiates
this request only when all conditions for 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.

comfort requirements. Pulse width modulation of
the blower motor power allows the front and rear
blower to operate at any speed from off to full speed.
When front or rear blower operation is required, the
ATC sends a PCI Bus message to the Front Control
Module (FCM) requesting blower relay ON. The
FCM provides a ground for the front and rear
blower motor relay coils, activating both relays. The
front and rear blower relays provide 12 volts to
their respective blower motor power modules. Each
module provides a 12 volt blower motor control
signal to the ATC. The ATC provides a pulse width
modulated (duty-cycle) ground signal to this circuit
based on climate requirements. The higher voltage
on the signal circuit (less duty-cycle ground) the
lower the blower speed request. The lower voltage
on the signal circuit (more duty-cycle ground) the
higher the blower speed request.
3.9.1.4INFRARED SENSORS
The ATC system uses infrared (I/R) sensors to
monitor and control oocupant comfort levels. This
sensing system replaces interior air temperature
and solar sensors which required complex control
programs to maintain occupant comfort levels. The
front I/R sensor is located in the instrument panel
center bezel outlet. The rear I/R sensor is located in
the rear overhead mounted ATC switch.
3.9.1.5REAR ATC SWITCH
The rearATC switch is mounted in the headliner.
The switch contains a rotary adjustment for fan
speed, a rotary adjustment for mode selection, a
push button switch for temperature selection and a
digital display of the selected temperature.
3.9.1.6COOLDOWN TESTING
The ATC provides a feature referred to as a
Cooldown Test. This test is initiated using the
DRBIIIt and is designed to check the performance
of the air conditioning system. The ATC will not
perform this test if the ambient air temperature is
below 12°C (53°F). During the test, the ATC compares the ambient air temperature to the evaporator temperature sensor. To pass the cooldown test,
the evap temperature sensor must drop -6°C (20°F)
below ambient temperature within 2 minutes of
start of test. At the completion of the cooldown test
the DRBIIIt will display one of the following messages indicating test outcome:
– Cooldown Test Passed
– Cooldown Test Failed
16
Page 46
GENERAL INFORMATION
– Evap Temp Sensor Shorted
– Evap Temp Sensor Open
– A/C Pressure Too Low
– A/C Pressure Too High
– Invalid Conditions for Cooldown Test, Evap
Temperature Too Low
If a message other than Cooldown Test Passed
occurs, refer to the appropriate symptom for diagnosis.
3.9.1.7ACTIVE AND STORED TROUBLE
CODES
The Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) is
capable of storing Active and Stored trouble codes.
Active codes indicate a current fault in the system.
Stored codes indicate that a problem has occurred
in the system, however is not currently present.
Active codes cannot be erased until the problem
causing the code has been repaired. At this time the
Active code is converted to a Stored code, which can
be erased using the DRBIIIt.
3.9.2MANUAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL
3.9.2.1SYSTEM AVAILABILITY
Depending on the model, either a Single-Zone Air
Conditioning System or a Dual-Zone Air Conditioning System is currently available in these vehicles.
Module. In addition, this system provides completely independent side-to-side control of incoming
air temperature. The full range of temperature that
the system can produce in any mode is available on
either side of the vehicle by positioning the independent driver and passenger blend controls to the
desired range.
3.9.2.5AIR DISTRIBUTION
The HVAC unit has five fully adjustable instrument panel outlets. Side-window demister outlets
in the instrument panel eliminate door ducts and
door-to-instrument panel seals. A single, central
mounted outlet delivers air for defrosting the windshield. Air exhausters allow air entering at the
front of the vehicle to flow out the back to the rear
occupants. Mid-cabin comfort control directs only
cooling air flow to the intermediate seat occupants
through outlets at the rear of each front door trim
panel. Air is supplied to these outlets from the
instrument panel through ducts in the doors that
use molded seals at the instrument panel to prevent
air leakage. Wide outlets under the front seats with
directional dividers distribute heated air across the
floor to the intermediate seat occupants. Ducts in
the center of the vehicle under the carpet deliver air
from the HVAC unit to these outlets. Models
equipped with Dual-Zone A/C systems also include
a dust and odor air filter installed in the HAVC
housing.
3.9.2.2CABIN HEATER
For Vehicles equipped with a diesel engine, a
Cabin Heater is used in conjunction with the HVAC
system. The Cabin Heater is designed to supply the
vehicle’s occupants with heat prior to the engine
reaching operating temperature. For additional information on this system, refer to Cabin Heater
under General Information and Diagnostic Procedures in this manual.
3.9.2.3ZONE CONTROL – SINGLE-ZONE
The Single-Zone Air Conditioning System maintains incoming air temperature, airflow, fan speed,
and fresh air intake for the entire vehicle from the
instrument panel mounted A/C – Heater Control
Module. The full range of temperature that the
system can produce in any mode for the entire
vehicle is available by positioning the blend control
to the desired range.
3.9.2.4ZONE CONTROL – DUAL-ZONE
The Dual-Zone Air Conditioning System maintains incoming air temperature, airflow, fan speed,
and fresh air intake for the entire vehicle from the
instrument panel mounted A/C – Heater Control
3.9.2.6DOOR ACTUATORS
The electric door actuators are a two-wire design.
Each door actuator uses a similar connector wired
directly to the A/C – Heater Control Module. SingleZone systems have one blend door actuator, one
mode door actuator, and one recirculation door
actuator. Dual-Zone systems have two blend door
actuators, one mode door actuator, and one recirculation door actuator. All of the door actuators are
accessible from the vehicle’s interior.
3.9.2.7DOOR ACTUATOR CONTROL
The A/C – Heater Control Module knows the
number of operating actuator revolutions required
for full door travel as well as the number of actuator
commutator pulses per revolution. Using these parameters, the A/C – Heater Control Module runs
the actuator for the number of commutator pulses
that correspond to the desired door position. To
maintain accuracy, the system recalibrates itself
periodically at known zero and full travel conditions.

Blend Switch – Single Zone
The single rotary Blend Switch has multiple
detents to control the full range of temperature that
the system can produce in any mode. Rotating the
switch results in the A/C – Heater Control Module
signaling the actuator to move the blend door. All
door positions are determined relative to the number of commutator pulses required to provide full
travel of the door. On command, the A/C – Heater
Control Module runs the actuator for the number of
pulses corresponding to the desired door position.
Recirculation Switch
The Recirculation Switch is a momentary contact
switch. Toggling the switch on results in the A/C –
Heater Control Module signaling the actuator to
close the fresh-air door. Toggling the switch off
results in the A/C – Heater Control Module signaling the actuator to open the fresh-air door. The
switch LED illuminates when the switch is on.
When the Power Switch is off, the A/C – Heater
Control Module closes the fresh-air door to prevent
outside air from entering the passenger compartment. The recirculation mode will cancel whenever
defrost is requested. Pressing the Recirculation
Switch while in defrost mode will illuminate the
Recirculation Switch LED, but only while the button is pressed. Under this circumstance, the recirculation request will be denied and the fresh-air
door will remain in the fresh position. All door

The dual sliding Blend Switches have multiple
detents to control the full range of temperature that
the system can produce an any mode. The upper
slide pot controls the driver-side blend door, while
the lower slide pot controls the passenger-side
blend door. Sliding the switch results in the A/C –
Heater Control Module signaling the actuator to
move the blend door. All door positions are determined relative to the number of commutator pulses
required to provide full travel of the door. On
command, the A/C – Heater Control Module runs
the actuator for the number of pulses corresponding
to the desired door position.
Mode Switch
The single rotary Mode Switch has 13 detents to
either direct airflow to the panel outlets, a mix of
floor and panel outlets, floor outlets, a mix of floor
and defrost outlets, or defrost outlets. Rotating the
switch results in the A/C – Heater Control Module
signaling the actuator to move the mode door. All
door positions are determined relative to the number of commutator pulses required to provide full
travel of the door. On command, the A/C – Heater
Control Module runs the actuator for the number of

GENERAL INFORMATION
3.9.2.11HVAC DIAGNOSTICS
The A/C – Heater Control Module is fully addressable with the DRBIIIt. Two of the Control Module’s diagnostic capabilities that the DRBIIIt will
actuate include the A/C Cooldown Test to test A/C
system performance and the HVAC Door Recalibration Test to determine actuator travel span. After
performing either test, the Control Module will
display one or more messages on the DRBIIIt
screen. The message will indicate either that the
HVAC system passed the test or that there is a fault
currently active in the HVAC system. The DRBIIIt
can also extract active and stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from the control module. Active
DTCs are faults that currently exit in the HVAC
system. Active DTCs cannot be erased until the
condition causing the code is repaired. Stored DTCs
are faults that occurred in the HVAC system since
the control module received the last “clear diagnostic info” message.

and reduce flow. Check for the appropriate
winter grade fuel and replace as necessary.
3.10.2COMPONENT DESCRIPTION AND
OPERATION
3.10.2.1DCHA 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 DCHAassembly 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.
19
Page 49
GENERAL INFORMATION
The DCHA assembly consists of a:
• combustion air fan assembly
• burner housing
• burner insert
• control unit/heat exchanger
• combustion chamber
• dosing pump
3.10.2.2COMBUSTION 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.
3.10.2.3BURNER HOUSING
The burner housing includes the:
• coolant inlet
• coolant outlet
• exhaust outlet
The burner housing accommodates the burner
insert and is combined with the control unit/heat
exchanger as an assembly.
3.10.2.4BURNER 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 combustion 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
designed as an electrical resistor is located in the
burner insert opposite the flame side.
3.10.2.5CONTROL 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).
3.10.2.6DOSING 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.
3.10.3OPERATION
3.10.3.1ACTIVATION
When the ignition is in Run, the FCM monitors
the PCI bus for the Cabin Heater Activation request. The A/C – Heater Control Module 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.
The DCHA will activate only when the:
• engine is running.
• coolant temperature is below 66°C (151°F).
• fuel tank has greater than 1/8 of a tank of fuel.
• Power switch on theA/C – Heater Control Module
is on.
• Blend Control on the A/C – Heater Control Mod-
ule is set above 95% reheat.
• Front Control Module (FCM) sees the Cabin
HeaterActivation request that is bussed from the
A/C – Heater Control Module.
When the DCHA starting sequence begins, the
glow plug and the combustion air fan are activated.
After 30 seconds, the fuel dosing pump begins oper-
20
Page 50
GENERAL INFORMATION
ating 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.
3.10.3.2HEATING
During the automatically controlled heating operation, when the coolant temperature reaches
72°C (162°F), the heater will switch to a part load
operation. When the coolant temperature reaches
75°C (167°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 71°C
(160°F) during a control idle period, the heater will
perform a regular starting sequence into full load
operation. A drop in coolant temperature to 65°C
(149°F) during part load operation will cause the
heater to switch to a full load operation.
3.10.3.3DEACTIVATION
The DCHA will deactivate if the:
• engine is turned off.
• coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F).
• heater runs longer than 76 minutes.
• fuel tank has less than 1/8 of a tank of fuel.
• Power switch on theA/C – Heater Control Module
is off.
• Blend Control on the A/C – Heater Control Mod-
ule is set below 75% reheat.
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.
3.10.4DIAGNOSTICS
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.
3.11INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
The Instrument Cluster receives and sends messages to other modules via the PCI bus circuit. The
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 in self-diagnostic mode. The odometer display uses blue-green vacuum fluorescent digital
characters.
On base vehicles, the Instrument Cluster has
three gauges: Speedometer, Fuel and Engine Coolant Temperature. A red dot moves transversely
through openings in the Instrument Cluster face
(P-R-N-D-2-1) to indicate the gear selected.
With all other models, the Instrument Cluster
also includes a Tachometer and uses a vacuumfluorescent shift indicator.
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.
21
Page 51
GENERAL INFORMATION
On vehicles equipped 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.
3.11.1INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SELF TEST
1. Depress and hold the Odometer Reset button.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN/START
position.
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.
3.11.2MESSAGE CENTER
The Message Center is located above the brow of
the Instrument Cluster. It houses the following
warning indicators: Check Engine/Service Engine
Soon, high beam, left and right turn signals, Security Alarm Set, and low oil pressure. On base
models equipped with the three-speed transaxle,
these indicators appear in the face of the cluster.
The Security Alarm set indicator is a red circle.
Activation of Instrument Cluster indicators is
coordinated with indicators in the message center
and EVIC to avoid redundancy. A revised safety
standard now requires that the seat belt warning
lamp in the Instrument Cluster remain lit if the
driver seat belt is not buckled. A headlamp out ISO
indicator has been added to the Instrument Cluster
to alert the driver when a headlamp is not functioning.
3.12INTERIOR LIGHTING
3.12.1COURTESY 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).
3.12.2ILLUMINATED 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.
3.12.3INTERIOR 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.
3.13MEMORY SYSTEM
The memory system consists of power driver’s
seat, power mirrors and radio presets. The Memory
Seat/Mirror Module (MSMM) 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), and send/receive the memory system information over the PCI bus.
The Memory Set Switch is wired to the Body
Control Module (BCM). When a button (either #1 or
#2) is pressed on the set switch causes the to BCM
send a message to the MSMM which in turn sends
a motion status messages to the BCM. If the BCM
receives no motion from the MSMM it will send a
recall message to the MSMM and radio (once ignition is in run or accessory). The MSMM will in turn
position the drivers seat, both mirrors along with
recalling the radio presets. If the drivers seat or
either exterior mirror is inoperative from its own
respective switches, use the service information
and schematic to diagnose the problem. This manual addresses the memory problems only and it is
assumed there is not a basic component failure.
3.13.1POWER 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 MSMM with two
motor drive circuits. Each circuit is switched between battery and ground. By being able to bidirectionally drive the circuits, the MSMM 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
22
Page 52
GENERAL INFORMATION
contains a potentiometer to monitor the seat position. To monitor the position of the motor, the
MSMM 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 MSMM monitors the
voltage change through the sensor on a separate
signal circuit.
The MSMM 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 MSMM 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 MSMM 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 motor would
be detected by the MSMM and the corresponding
seat output would be deactivated. However, if the
object obstructing the seat is removed, the seat will
function normally again.
3.13.2MEMORY MIRRORS
Each outside mirror contains vertical and horizontal bi-directional drive positioning motors and
position sensors. The MSMM provides a 5-volt
reference on the signal circuit to each position
sensor. The sensors share a common ground circuit.
The MSMM monitors the position of the mirror
motors by measuring the voltage on each signal
circuit. When a memory position is set, the MSMM
monitors and stores the position of the outside
mirrors. The MSMM adjusts the mirrors 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 both mirrors independently of
the MSMM.
and trip odometer (ODO). The information needed
for the CMTC functions is received over the PCI bus
from other modules.
3.14.2ELECTRONIC VEHICLE
INFORMATION CENTER (EVIC)
TheElectronicVehicleInformationCenter
(EVIC) includes all the same functions and is located in the same area as the Compass/Mini-Trip
Computer, but it adds a number of warning messages. Also, the EVIC messages are spelled out on
the screen, for example, DISTANCE TO EMPTY,
where the Mini-Trip Computer displays only shows
DTE.
If the compass/mini-trip computer or EVIC has
been replaced, it may be necessary to reset the
calibration.
3.14.3SETTING THE COMPASS
The compass/mini-trip computer and EVIC are
self-calibrated and requires no adjustment. The
word CAL will be displayed to indicate that the
compass is in the fast calibrating mode. CAL will
turn off after the vehicle has gone in three complete
circles without stopping, in an area free of magnetic
disturbance.
If the module displays the temperature while the
compass is blank or shows a false reading, the
vehicle must be demagnetized. See the service manual for the proper procedure.
If the compass still goes blank after the vehicle is
demagnetized, the compass/mini-trip/EVIC module
must be replaced.
3.14.4SETTING THE VARIANCE
Variance is the difference between magnetic
north and geographic north. To determine the variance for the area you are in, refer to the following
zone map provided. The number shown for your
area is the variance number for your area.
3.14OVERHEAD CONSOLE
3.14.1COMPASS/MINI-TRIP COMPUTER

3.15POWER 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 driver 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.
3.15.1SLIDING DOOR MEMORY LOCK
When the BCM receives an input for a lock
request and a sliding door is open, the BCM will
turn on the lock driver as described above, and will
turn it on again when all sliding doors are closed.
NOTE: If the BCM receives an unlock input before
a sliding door is closed, this will cancel the memory
lock.
3.15.2DOOR 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
usual. This allows the driver to lock the vehicle with
the engine running for warm up.
3.15.3AUTOMATIC 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 of 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 15 MPH (24 KMH).
3.15.4REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The body control module interfaces with the RKE
module via a one-way serial bus interface. The RKE
module is not on the PCI bus. The RKE module
sends a 0-5 volt pulse width signal to the BCM
depending on which button on the transmitter was
pressed. The BCM controls the door lock/unlock
functions and the arming/disarming of the Vehicle
Theft Security System (if equipped) and the activation of illuminated entry. The BCM will also send
the appropriate messages to the Power Sliding
Doors and Power Liftgate modules. The Intelligent
Power Module (IPM) activates the park lamps,
headlamps, and horn for horn chirp when sent the
appropriate message from the BCM as received
from the RKE transmitter. When a one-button
press is made for unlock, both driver side doors will
unlock and the front and rear turn signal will flash.
When a second press is initiated (within 5 seconds
of the first) both passenger doors will unlock and all
four turn signals will flash.
The RKE module is capable of retaining up to 4
individual access codes (4 transmitters). If the
PRNDLis in any position except park, the BCM will
ground the interface thereby disabling the RKE.
The 2 button transmitter will have 2-CR2016
batteries in series. The 5 button transmitter will
have 1-CR2016 battery. The minimum battery life
should be approximately 4.7 years based on 20
transmissions a day at 84°F (25°C). Using the
DRBIIIt and selecting RKE FOB Test can test the
transmitter.
The RKE module can be programmed via the
DRBIIIt or the customer programming method.
The BCM will only allow programming mode to be
entered when the ignition is in the on position, the
PRNDL is in park position, and the VTSS (if
equipped) is in the disarmed mode.
3.16POWER 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
24
Page 54
GENERAL INFORMATION
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.
3.17POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM
3.17.1POWER 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.
3.17.2DIAGNOSTIC 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.
3.17.3SYSTEM 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.
3.18POWER SLIDING DOOR SYSTEM
3.18.1POWER SLIDING DOOR
The Power Sliding Door (PSD) system is activated through the use of the following: Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE), overhead console switches, B
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
25
Page 55
GENERAL INFORMATION
manual sliding door. When the child lock out switch
is on, the B pillar switches are disabled.
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.
3.18.2DIAGNOSTIC 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.
3.18.3SYSTEM 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. Child locks enabled inhibit the B pillar switch
operation
5. O/H console lockout will inhibit the B pillar
switches
6. Doors locked will inhibit all interior switches
from opening (Overhead Console, B Pillar). A
locked sliding door can be power closed.
3.19REAR WINDOW DEFOG/HEATED
MIRROR/FRONT WIPER DE-ICE
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.
3.20VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
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 Immobilizer Module (SKIM). Passive
arming occurs in one of two ways. Upon normal
vehicle exit by removing the ignition key, opening
the driver door, locking the doors with the power
lock, and closing the driver door, or by removing the
ignition key, opening the driver door, closing the
driver door, and locking the doors with the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. 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 18 minutes.
Arming (Active and Passive)
Active arming occurs when the RKE transmitter
is 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). 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 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.
3.20.1BASE ALARM SYSTEM
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) is part
of the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM
monitors the vehicle doors, liftgate, hood, and the

MODULE HAS POSSIBLY BEEN LOST.
3.20.2THATCHAM ALARM SYSTEM
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 RKE/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 then be
armed by following a normal exit sequence, of
opening the door and then locking the doors with
the door lock switch and then closing the door. The
system can also be armed by opening the door,
closing the door and then locking the doors with the
RKE transmitter.
Disarming
To disarm the alarm system, the RKE transmitter is used. The RKE transmitter will unlock the
vehicle doors and disarm the alarm system. The
RKE transmitter can also be used to halt the alarm
once it has been activated.
3.21WIPER SYSTEM
3.21.1FRONT 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
uses the vehicle speed input to double the usual
delay time below 10 MPH (6 KPH).
3.21.2SPEED 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
(6 KPM), the delay time is doubled, providing a
delay range of 3.4 seconds to 36.8 seconds.
3.21.3PULSE 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.
3.21.4PARK 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.
3.21.5WIPE 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.
3.21.6REAR 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.
3.21.7SPEED SENSITIVE INTERMITTENT
WIPE MODE
The delay setting of the rear wiper system is
based solely on the vehicle speed. The delay time is
27
Page 57
GENERAL INFORMATION
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.
3.21.8WIPE 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.
3.22USING THE DRBIIIT
Refer to the DRBIIIt user guide for instructions
and assistance with reading trouble codes, erasing
trouble codes, and other DRBIIIt functions.
3.22.1DRBIIIT 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:
Low temperatures will affect the visibility of the
display. Adjust the contrast to compensate for this

charged battery.If it does not, false diagnostic codes
or error messages may occur.
4.2.3SERVICING SUB-ASSEMBLIES
Some components of the chassis system are intended to be serviced as an assembly only. Attempting to remove or repair certain system subcomponents may result in personal injury and/or
improper system operation. Only those components
with approved repair and installation procedures in
the service manual should be serviced.
4.2.4DRBIIIT SAFETY INFORMATION
* Ohms cannot be measured if voltage is present.
Ohms can be measured only in a non-powered
circuit.
• Voltage between any terminal and ground must
not exceed 500v DC or 500v peak AC.
• Use caution when measuring voltage above 25v
DC or 25v AC.
• Use the low current shunt to measure circuits up
to 10A. Use the high current clamp to measure
circuits exceeding 10A.
• When testing for the presence of voltage or cur-
rent, make sure the meter is functioning correctly. Take a reading of a known voltage or
current before accepting a zero reading.
• When measuring current, connect the meter in
series with the load.
• Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting
the common test lead.
• When using the meter function, keep the
DRBIIIt away from spark plug or coil wires to
avoid measuring error from outside interference.

4.3.1VEHICLE DAMAGE WARNINGS
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.
