DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

SELF DIAGNOSTIC TEST
With the ignition switch in the OFF position,
depress the TRIP and RESET buttons. While holding
the TRIP and RESET button turn the ignition switch
ON. Continue to hold the TRIP and RESET buttons
until the word CODE appears in the odometer win-
dows (about five seconds). If a problem exists, the
system will display diagnostic trouble codes. If no
problem exists the code 999 (End Test) will momen-
tarily appear.
DIM TEST
When CHEC-0 is displayed in the odometer win-
dow, the cluster's vacuum fluorescent (VF) displays
will dim down. If the VF display brightness does not
change, a problem exists in the cluster.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Operating instructions for the factory installed
audio systems can be found in the Owner's Manual
provided with the vehicle.
NS vehicles are equipped with an Ignition Off
Draw (IOD) fuse in the power distribution center
located in the engine compartment. After the IOD
fuse or battery has been disconnected, the radio sta-
tion sets and clock will require resetting.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ANTENNA
All models use a fixed-length stainless steel rod-
type antenna mast, installed at the right front fender
of the vehicle. The antenna mast is connected to the
center wire of the coaxial antenna cable, and is not
grounded to any part of the vehicle.
To eliminate static, the antenna base must have a
good ground. The coaxial antenna cable shield (the
outer wire mesh of the cable) is grounded to the
antenna base and the radio chassis.
The antenna coaxial cable has an additional dis-
connect, located near the right end of the instrument
panel. This additional disconnect allows the instru-
ment panel assembly to be removed and installed
without removing the radio.
The factory-installed Electronically Tuned Radios
(ETRs) automatically compensate for radio antenna
trim. Therefore, no antenna trimmer adjustment isrequired or possible when replacing the receiver or
the antenna.
INTERFERENCE ELIMINATION
Some components used on the vehicles are
equipped with a capacitor to suppress radio fre-
quency interference/static.
Capacitors are mounted in various locations inter-
nal to the generator, instrument cluster and wind-
shield wiper motor.
To eliminate radio interference, ground straps are
used in different areas of the vehicle. These ground
circuits should be securely tightened to assure good
metal to metal contact. The ground straps conduct
very small high frequency electrical signals to ground
and require clean surface contact area. The radio
ground is supplied from the instrument panel har-
ness and is attached to the rear of the radio. Some
engines have other ground straps to eliminate fur-
ther radio interference:
²Radio chassis to instrument panel structure
²Engine to dash panel
²Engine to chassis
²A/C h valve to dash panel
Radio resistance type spark plug cables in the high
tension circuit of the ignition system complete the
interference suppression. Faulty or deteriorated
spark plug wires should be replaced.
RADIOS
Available factory-installed radio receivers for this
model include an AM/FM/cassette (RAS sales code),
an AM/FM/cassette/5-band graphic equalizer with CD
changer control feature (RBN sales code), an AM/FM/
NSAUDIO SYSTEMS 8F - 1

TEST 2
Test 2 checks the antenna for an open circuit as
follows:
(1) Unplug the antenna coaxial cable connector
from the radio chassis.
(2) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the tip of
the antenna mast. Connect the other test lead to the
center pin of the antenna coaxial cable connector.
(3) Continuity should exist (the ohmmeter should
only register a fraction of an ohm). High or infinite
resistance indicates damage to the base and cable
assembly. Replace the faulty base and cable, if
required.
TEST 3
Test 3 checks the condition of the vehicle body
ground connection. This test should be performed
with the battery positive cable removed from the bat-
tery. Disconnect both battery cables, the negative
cable first. Reconnect the battery negative cable and
perform the test as follows:
(1) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the vehicle
fender. Connect the other test lead to the battery
negative post.
(2) The resistance should be less than (1) ohm.
(3) If the resistance is more than (1) ohm, check
the braided ground strap connected to the engine and
the vehicle body for being loose, corroded, or dam-
aged. Repair the ground strap connection, if required.
TEST 4
Test 4 checks the condition of the ground between
the antenna base and the vehicle body as follows:(1) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the vehicle
fender. Connect the other test lead to the outer crimp
on the antenna coaxial cable connector.
(2) The resistance should be less then (1) ohm.
(3) If the resistance is more then (1) ohm, clean
and/or tighten the antenna base to fender mounting
hardware.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Headlamp washers are available as a factory-in-
stalled option on this model. The headlamp washers
on this vehicle work in conjunction with the wind-
shield washers. The headlamp washers are enabled
with the headlamps ªONº and the windshield wash-
ers activated. With the windshield washers activated
the headlamp washers will spray for a preset amount
of time controlled by a relay.
The headlamp washer system utilizes a separate pump
that is attached to the windshield washer reservoir. The
headlamp washer pump feeds two nozzles that are
mounted in the front fascia of the vehicle. These nozzles
spray the headlamps when the system is activated.

instrument cluster for 6 seconds after the instrument
cluster receives the message from the Body Control
Module. The seat belt lamp is therefore illuminated
for 6 seconds whenever the ignition switch is moved
to run/start position.
(1) While ignition is off, the seat belt lamp will not
be illuminated.
(2) The ignition power feed status will be updated
every 250 milliseconds or on change.
(3) This lamp will be checked by the instrument
cluster for 6 seconds with every run/start cycle of the
ignition switch.
TURN SIGNAL ON CHIME
The turn signal on chime will warn the driver that
the turn signals have been left on. When the body
control module receives a turn signal input for 6.4
km (4.0 miles), vehicle speed is greater than 24 km/h
(15 mph), the chime will sound continuously until the
turn signal is turned OFF. If vehicle speed drops
below 24 km/h (15 mph) prior to the warning being
activated, the accumulated distance traveled will be
reset. The turn signal chime is not activated when
the emergency flashers are turned on. This feature
can also be disabled in EEPROM. Chime rate: 50
chimes per minute.
For the turn signal warning system to operate:
²Must have input from either the right or left
turn signal lamps. Creates a voltage change between
0 and battery voltage.
²The vehicle speed sensor sends a message to the
Powertrain Control Module that vehicle has exceeded
24 km/h (15 mph) for 6.4 km (4.0 miles).
²When the above two conditions are met, the
chime will sound. The chime will stop when no fur-
ther voltage change is detected.²If hazard warning signals are pulsing, no chime
will sound.
²If speed drops below 24 km/h (15 mph) before
the warning is issued, the warning will not be issued
and the distance counter will be reset.
²If turn signal lamps are not working properly,
the chime will not sound.
²When using the scan tool, refer to the proper
Body Diagnostic Manual for the procedure.
WARNING LAMP ANNOUNCEMENT CHIME
The warning lamp announcement chime will warn
the driver to scan the instrument cluster to observe
which warning lamp is illuminated. Whenever the
volts, low fuel, low washer/coolant level, door ajar or
gate ajar lamps are first illuminated, the chime will
sound one tone. The door/liftgate ajar warning lamp
announcement chime sounds only if the vehicle speed
is above 2 m.p.h.
Two seconds after ignition switch is turned ON or
until the seat belt warning chime ends, all warning
announcement chimes will be consolidated into one
warning announcement. This will occur 2 seconds
after the seat belt warning chime ends. If a warning
announcement should occur while another warning
chime in progress (turn signal, low oil pressure or
high speed warnings), no additional chimes will
sound after the chime in progress ends. All associ-
ated lamps will be illuminated, and the active chime
will be the warning announcement.
