GENERAL INFORMATION
For proper operation of the Rear Window Defogger
system refer to the Owner's Manual. Vehicles equipped with an electrically heated rear
window defogger also have a 40/90 amp generator. The system consists of a rear glass with two verti-
cal bus bars and a series of electrically connected
grid lines fired on the inside surface. A control
switch and a timer relay combined into a single as-
sembly is used on all models (Fig.1).
Circuit protection is provided by a fusible link, lo-
cated in the charging circuit, for the heated grid cir-
cuit and by a fuse for the relay control circuit. When the switch is turned to the ON position, cur-
rent is directed to the rear defogger grid lines. The
heated grid lines heat the rear glass to clear the sur-
face of fog or frost.
CAUTION: Grid lines can be damaged or scraped
off with sharp instruments, care should be taken in
cleaning glass or removing foreign materials, de-
cals or stickers. Normal glass cleaning solvents or
hot water used with rags or toweling is recom-
mended.
CONTROL SWITCH/TIMER RELAY MODULE
The control switch and timer relay are integrated
into a single panel or console mounted assembly. Ac-
tuating the switch energizes the circuit which allows
current to flow through the grid lines. Upon initial
actuation for approximately ten minutes, or until ei-
ther the switch or ignition is turned off. An indicat-
ing lamp illuminates a lens inlaid in the control
switch.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
Electrically heated rear window defogger operation
can be checked in vehicle in the following manner: (1) Turn ignition ON.
(2) Turn rear window defogger control switch ON.
(3) Using a ammeter on the battery. Turn the De-
fogger control switch ON, a distinct increase in am-
perage draw should be noted. (4) The rear window defogger operation can be
checked by feeling the glass. A distinct difference in
temperature between the grid lines and adjacent
clear glass can be detected in three to four minutes
of operation. (5) Using a DC voltmeter (Fig. 2) contact terminal
B with the negative lead, and terminal A with the
positive lead. The voltmeter should read 10-14 volts.

CIRCUIT IDENTIFICATION
All circuits in the diagrams use an alpha/numeric
code to identify the wire and its function. To identify
which circuit code applies to a system, refer to the
Circuit Identification Code Chart. This chart shows
the main circuits only and does not show the second-
ary codes that may apply to some models.
LOCATING A SYSTEM
To locate a system or component in the diagrams,
refer to the alphabetical index at the front of the di-
agrams. Determine the diagram sheet number. Sheet
numbers are located at the lower right or left hand
corner of each sheet. Page numbers at the top of
the page do not apply to diagram sheets. The diagram index identifies the main system and
all components in that system. There are also sec-
tions of the index that identify specific components
only (for example modules, lamps, etc.). Refer to a
components name in the index if you are unclear as
to what a system may be called. Diagram pages are arranged starting with the bat-
tery and fuses. Then working into charging, starting,
and ignition systems. After this they start at the
front of the vehicle and work to rear of the vehicle.
The diagrams end with connector identification
pages.
COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION
When looking for a components location on the ve-
hicle refer to the wiring and components section.
This section shows the wire harness routing and the
components location in the vehicle. To use this sec-
tion refer to the wiring diagrams for the location of
the component. Then use the component identifica-
tion index to locate the proper figure number.
SPLICE LOCATIONS
Splices are indicated in the diagrams by a diamond
with a splice circuit code within it (Fig. 9 example 1).
If there is more than one splice per circuit a small
box will be connected to it with the splice number in
it (Fig. 9 example 2). To locate a splice in the wiring harness determine
the splice number from the wiring diagrams then re-
fer to the splice location index. This section shows
the general location of the splice in the harness.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The computer regulated, Electronic Fuel Injection
System (Fig. 1) provides a precise air/fuel ratio for
all driving conditions. The fuel injection system is
controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM).
The PCM is a pre-programmed digital computer. The
PCM regulates ignition timing, air-fuel ratio, emission
control devices, cooling fan, charging system, speed con-
trol, and idle speed. The PCM can adapt its requirement
to meet changing operating conditions.
Fig. 1 Electronic Fuel Injection Components
14 - 24 FUEL SYSTEMS Ä

The PCM removes the ground to the solenoid when
the engine reaches a specified temperature and the
time delay interval has occurred. When the solenoid is
de-energized, vacuum flows to the canister purge
valve. Vapors are purged from the canister and flow to
the throttle body. The purge solenoid is also energized during certain
idle conditions to update the fuel delivery calibration.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (CHECK
ENGINE)ÐPCM OUTPUT
The Malfunction Indicator lamp (instrument panel
Check Engine lamp) comes on each time the ignition
key is turned ON and stays on for 3 seconds as a bulb
test. The malfunction indicator lamp warns the opera-
tor that the PCM has entered a Limp-in mode. During
Limp-in-Mode, the PCM attempts to keep the system
operational. The malfunction indicator lamp signals
the need for immediate service. In limp-in mode, the
PCM compensates for the failure of certain components
that send incorrect signals. The PCM substitutes for
the incorrect signals with inputs from other sensors. Signals that can trigger the Malfunction Indi-
cator Lamp.
² Coolant Temperature Sensor
² Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor
² Throttle Position Sensor
² Battery Voltage Input
² An Emissions Related System
² Charging system
The malfunction indicator lamp can also be used to
display diagnostic trouble codes. Cycle the ignition
switch on, off, on, off, on, within five seconds and any
diagnostic trouble codes stored in the PCM will be
displayed. Refer to the 2.2L/2.5L Single Point Fuel
InjectionÐOn-Board Diagnostics section in this group.
DATA LINK CONNECTORÐPCM OUTPUT
The data link connector provides the technician with
the means to connect the DRBII scan tool to diagnosis
the vehicle.
ELECTRIC ELECTRONIC GAS
RECIRCULATIONÐPCM OUTPUT
The electronic exhaust gas recirculation transducer
(EET) is a back pressure transducer/electric vacuum
solenoid assembly (Fig. 13). The EET assembly mounts
above the EGR valve (Fig. 14).
The solenoid turns the vacuum supply to the trans-
ducer on and off. The electric vacuum solenoid portion
of the EET energizes when the PCM provides a ground
path. When the solenoid energizes, vacuum is pre-
vented from flowing to the transducer. When the sole-
noid de-energizes, vacuum flows to the transducer. The
solenoid energizes during engine warm-up, closed
throttle (idle or cruise), wide open throttle, and rapid
acceleration/deceleration. If the solenoid wire con-
nector is disconnected, the EGR valve will oper-
ate at all times.
