(1) Check the fuse(s) in the junction block and the
Power Distribution Center (PDC). If OK, go to Step
2. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component
as required and replace the faulty fuse(s).
(2) Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the
PDC. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the open
circuit to the battery as required.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the junction
block. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open
circuit to the ignition switch as required.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Remove the instrument cluster center bezel. Remove
the radio, but do not unplug the wire harness connec-
tors. Check for continuity between the radio chassis
and a good ground. There should be continuity. If
OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the open radio
chassis ground circuit as required.
(5) Connect the battery negative cable. Turn the
ignition switch to the ON position. Check for battery
voltage at the fused ignition switch output circuit
cavity of the left (gray) radio wire harness connector.
If OK, go to Step 6. If not OK, repair the open circuit
as required.
(6) Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit
cavity of the left (gray) radio wire harness connector.
If OK, replace the faulty radio. If not OK, repair the
open circuit to the Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse as
required.

STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, OR
INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR
SERVICE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIR-
BAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Wait two minutes for the airbag system capac-
itor to discharge before further service.
(2) Remove the remote radio switch(es) from the
steering wheel.
(3) Use an ohmmeter to check the switch resis-
tance as shown in the Remote Radio Switch Test
table (Fig. 8).
NOTE: The right remote radio switch back is white
in color. The left switch back is black in color. The
right/left remote radio switch orientation is with the
steering wheel installed, and driver in drivers seat.(4) If the switch resistance checks OK, go to Step
5. If not OK, replace the faulty switch.
(5) Check for continuity between the ground cir-
cuit cavity of the switch wire harness connector and
a good ground. There should be continuity. If OK, go
to Step 6. If not OK, repair the open circuit as
required.
(6) Unplug the 24-way white wire harness connec-
tor from the Body Control Module (BCM). Check for
continuity between the radio control circuit cavity of
the remote radio switch wire harness connector and a
good ground. There should be no continuity. If OK, go
to Step 7. If not OK, repair the short circuit as
required.
(7) Check for continuity between the radio control
circuit cavities of the remote radio switch wire har-
ness connector and the BCM wire harness connector.
There should be continuity. If OK, refer to the proper
Diagnostic Procedures manual to test the BCM and
the CCD data bus. If not OK, repair the open circuit
as required.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
This group covers both Left-Hand Drive (LHD) and
Right-Hand Drive (RHD) versions of this model.
Whenever feasible, the RHD versions of affected
vehicle components have been constructed as mirror-
image of the LHD versions. While most of the illus-
trations used in this group represent only the LHD
version, the diagnostic and service procedures out-
lined can generally be applied to either version.
Exceptions to this rule have been clearly identified as
LHD or RHD, if a special illustration or procedure
was/is required.
The speed control system used with the 2.5L diesel
engine is basically identical to the system used with
gasoline powered engines. Features unique to the
diesel engine will be covered in this section.
²Models equipped with the 2.5L diesel engine do
not use a vacuum reservoir to retain engine vacuum
for speed control operation. There are no vaccum-op-
erated speed control servos used in vehicles with the
2.5L diesel engine.
²The range of the speed control system operation
is restricted to speeds between 56 km/h (35 MPH) to
145 km/h (90 MPH).
²Inputs to the MSA that allow speed control oper-
ation are from the vehicle speed sensor and the
Speed Control Switch.²Two separate speed control switch modules are
mounted on the steering wheel to the left and right
side of the driver's airbag module. Switch features
are:
a. Within the two switch modules, fivemomen-
tarycontact switches, supporting seven different
speed control functions are used.
b. The outputs from these switches are filtered
into one input. The MSA determines which output
has been applied throughresistive multiplexing.
The input circuit voltage is measured by the MSA
to determine which switch function has been
selected.
c. A speed control indicator lamp, located on the
instrument panel cluster is energized by the MSA
via the CCD Bus. This occurs when speed control
system power has been turned ON, and the engine
is running.
d. The two switch modules are labeled: ON/OFF,
SET, RESUME/ACCEL, CANCEL and COAST.
Refer to the owner's manual for more information
on speed control switch functions and setting pro-
cedures. The individual switches cannot be
repaired. If one individual switch fails, the switch
module must be replaced.

WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAG, SEE GROUP 8M, RESTRAINT SYSTEMS FOR
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. DISCONNECT THE NEGA-
TIVE CABLE FROM THE BATTERY BEFORE SER-
VICING COMPONENTS INVOLVING THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAG
AND PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
The windshield wipers can be operated with the
windshield wiper switch when the ignition switch is
in the RUN or ACCESSORY positions. The wind-
shield wiper system is protected by a 40 amp fuse (9)
located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) in
the engine compartment. The windshield washer cir-
cuit is protected by a 6 amp fuse (9) located in the
Junction Block. The wiper motor has permanent
magnetic fields. The speeds are determined by cur-
rent flow to the appropriate set of brushes inside the
motor. The current flow is controlled by the multi-
function switch stalk mounted wiper switch, high
speed/low speed relays located in the PDC. The speed
sensitive intermittent wiper is controlled by the BodyControl Module (BCM). The intermittent mode, with
the vehicle traveling greater than 10.4 mph, has a
range of 0.5 to 18 seconds. With the vehicle traveling
less than 10.4 mph, and the time delay is not
adjusted, time delay doubles to a range of 1 to 36
seconds. The wiper arms will park at the base of the
windshield just above the cowl cover after the wiper
switch is turned OFF.
The windshield wiper motor and linkage is located
in an integral wiper unit at the rear of the engine
compartment. The wiper unit must be removed to
gain access to the wiper motor.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
The windshield wiper system operates in several
modes:
²Low and high speed normal wipe
²Speed sensitive intermittent wipe
²Wipe after wash
²Pulse wipe
²Park (switch OFF)
The windshield wiper circuits are continuously
monitored and controlled by the Body Control Mod-
