DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES
Power for the Anti-Lock brake system is supplied
by two fuses. There is a 15 amp fuse located in the
fuse block cavity 10. This fuse supplies power to the
Controller Anti Lock Brake (CAB), and the ABS sys-
tem relay on the F12 circuit. The F12 circuit also
supplies power to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). Power for the fuse is supplied on the A21 cir-
cuit from the ignition switch. This fuse is HOT in the
START/RUN position.
The second fuse is located in the Power Distribu-
tion Center (PDC). It is a 40 amp fuse. This fuse is
HOT at all times and supplies power to the contact
side of the ABS pump motor relay.
There are three grounding points used in the ABS
system. One is a case ground on the CAB. The sec-
ond is the Z12 circuit at the CAB connector cavity 5.
This ground is spliced, and terminates at the left side
of the radiator closure panel.
The third ground is on the Z1 circuit. This ground
is used for the ABS hydraulic modulator, ABS system
relay, and the ABS pump motor. This ground, like the
Z12 ground splices and terminates at the left head-
lamp ground.
Additional information on the circuit function of
the ABS system is listed below. For diagnostic and
testing procedures, refer to the appropriate section of
the Service Manual or the Diagnostic Test Proce-
dures Manual.
ABS WARNING LAMP
The ABS warning lamp is an output from the Con-
troller Anti Lock Brake (CAB) and the ABS relay
box. It is used to alert the operator of a problem in
the ABS system. The G19 circuit from the CAB and
the ABS system relay is used to detect a problem. If
a problem is detected, the CAB grounds the G19 cir-
cuit and illuminates the lamp in the instrument clus-
ter.
Circuit G19 is also an output of the CAB to the
ABS system relay contact side.
ABS SYSTEM RELAY
The system relay is used for the operation of the
ABS system. Power for the relay is supplied on the
B57 circuit from cavity 57 of the Controller Anti Lock
Brake (CAB).
Ground for the relay is on the Z1 circuit. This
ground is spliced in with the pump motor and termi-
nates at the left headlamp ground.
When the system is operating normally power for
the contact side of the relay is supplied from the
CAB on the B57 circuit. It passes through the relay
to the Z1 ground and terminates at the left headlamp
ground. If a problem is detected in the system, the
contact side of the relay switches from the Z1 to the
F12 circuit. This causes the ABS warning lamp in
the instrument cluster to illuminate.
ABS PUMP MOTOR RELAY
The ABS pump motor relay controls when the
pump motor runs. Power for the coil side of the relay
is supplied from cavity 47 of the Controller Anti Lock
Brake (CAB) on the B47 circuit. This circuit also sup-
plies voltage for the contact side of the system relay.
The ground side of the coil is controlled by the B116
circuit. Circuit B116 connects to cavity 16 of the CAB
connector.
Circuit B120 from cavity 20 of the CAB connector
powers the ABS pump motor. This circuit is also used
as an input to the CAB for pump motor monitoring.
HYDRAULIC MODULATOR
The hydraulic modulator is used for the controlling
of the brake system pressure to the wheels. The mod-
ulator is made up of four solenoids.
Circuits involved are, B142 for the left front wheel,
B143 for the right front wheel, B146 for the left rear
wheel, and B148 for the right rear wheel.
The solenoids use a common ground on the Z1 cir-
cuit. There are two Z1 circuits from the modulator.
Both of these grounds terminate at the left headlamp
ground, and are spliced in with the ABS pump motor
and the ABS system relay.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
The Instrument Cluster, located on the right side
of the instrument panel, provides the operator with
gauges and warning lamps relating to vehicle opera-
tion. All gauges in the standard and optional cluster
are magnetic type and logic driven.
Battery voltage for the clusters warning lamps and
gauges is provided on the G5 circuit. This circuit con-
nects from the fuse block and is protected bya5amp
fuse located in cavity 11. The cluster is powered only
when the ignition switch is in the START or RUN
position. The cluster is also powered on initial driv-
er's door opening.
Illumination lamps, internal to the cluster, receive
battery voltage on the E2 circuit from the 4 amp fuse
located in cavity 12 of the fuse block. This circuit is
HOT only when the headlamp switch is in the ON
position. Grounding for the cluster is provided on the
Z3 circuit and terminates at the instrument panel
left center support.
The M1 circuit also feeds the cluster through a 10
amp fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
This fuse is HOT at all times and also used to power
the underhood lamp, and the interior lamps. The
fuse is also lifted OPEN during vehicle shipping to
reduce battery draw.
SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer and odometer receive their infor-
mation on the G7 circuit from the Vehicle Speed Sen-
sor (VSS) on manual and 3±spd automatic
transmission applications. The G7 circuit also pro-
vides a signal to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM).Logic internal to the instrument cluster adjusts the
position of the gauge pointer to the correct vehicle
speed using the signal on the G7 circuit.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer is connected to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) on the G21 circuit. It uses
solid state circuity to decode the ignition pulses
received from the PCM to adjust the gauge pointer to
the proper position.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The temperature gauge is connected to the engine
coolant temperature sensor on the G20 circuit. The
engine coolant temperature sensor for the gauge is a
combination unit. One side of the unit is used for the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the other side
for the cluster. The sending unit is case grounded to
the engine.
The logic driven gauge moves in response to the
measured resistance of the engine coolant tempera-
ture sending unit.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level gauge is connected to the fuel pump
module on the G4 circuit. The fuel pump module con-
tains the fuel pump and a variable resistor for the
gauge. Grounding for the fuel pump module is pro-
vided on the Z2 circuit and terminates at the left
rear wheel house.
The logic driven gauge moves in response to the
measured resistance of the fuel tank sending unit.
The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor.
As the position of the float arm on the level sensor
changes, the resistor changes the current flow
through the fuel gauge circuit. A change in current
flow alters the magnetic field in the fuel gauge which
changes the pointer position.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ODOMETER
The speedometer and odometer receive their infor-
mation on the G7 circuit from the Vehicle Speed Sen-
sor (VSS) on vehicles equipped with the manual or
3±spd automatic transmission. This circuit also pro-
vides a signal to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM).
Logic internal to the cluster steps the odometer at
a high rate to indicate the proper mileage.
SERVICE ENGINE SOON LAMP
The Service Engine Soon lamp illuminates when
the ignition switch is in the ON position and prior to
starting the vehicle. The lamp will turn off after the
vehicle is started.
If while the vehicle is running a problem is
detected in the engine control system the lamp is
illuminated. This is accomplished by the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) grounding the G3 circuit.
SEAT BELT WARNING INDICATOR
The fasten seat belt indicator is used with the
warning chime to indicate to the operator to fasten
the seat belt. There is a switch located in the drivers
side B-pillar that is normally OPEN with the seat
belt buckled.
If the seat belt is not buckled the switch CLOSES
and a ground path is completed from the G10 circuit
to the Z1 circuit. This will illuminate the lamp in the
instrument cluster.
When the ignition switch is moved to the START
position the lamp will illuminate. Logic internal to
the instrument cluster determines the length of time.
LOW FUEL LAMP
The low fuel lamp is used to indicate to the opera-
tor that the fuel level is below a predetermined level.
This lamp is logic driven by the instrument cluster.
When the instrument cluster determines a low fuel
condition based on an input from the fuel tank gauge
level sending unit (circuit G4) it illuminates the
lamp.
HEADLAMP ON CHIME
The headlamp ON chime is used to indicate to the
operator that the headlamps or parking lamps are
ON when the drivers door is OPEN. If the lamps are
ON and the drivers door is opened, a ground path is
completed from the G26 circuit at the cluster,
through the headlamp switch, to the G16 circuit and
ending at the door ajar switch. The door ajar switch
is case grounded.
KEY-IN CHIME
The key-in chime is used to indicate to the opera-
tor that the key is in the ignition with the driversdoor OPEN. If the key is in the ignition and the driv-
ers door is OPEN, a ground path is completed from
the G26 circuit at the cluster, through the CLOSED
key-in switch, to the G16 circuit and terminating at
the door ajar switch which is case grounded.
CHARGE INDICATOR LAMP
The Charge Indicator lamp is used to alert the
operator that the charging system voltage has fallen
below the normal operating range. This circuit is con-
trolled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
When the PCM determines a problem, it grounds the
G12 circuit.
AIRBAG WARNING LAMP
The Airbag Warning lamp is used to alert the oper-
ator of a problem with the Airbag system. The lamp
is illuminated when the Airbag Control Module
(ACM) grounds the R41 circuit. Refer to the appro-
priate section of the Service Manual or Diagnostic
Test Procedures Manual to diagnosis this system.
LOW OIL PRESSURE LAMP
The low oil pressure lamp is used to indicate to the
operator that the engine oil pressure has dropped
below a predetermined pressure. Power for the lamp
is provided on the G5 circuit which also powers the
other warning lamps.
When the oil pressure is low the normally OPEN
oil pressure switch CLOSES completing a path to
ground on circuit G6. The oil pressure switch is case
grounded to the engine block.
HIGH BEAM INDICATOR LAMP
The High Beam Indicator Lamp is used to indicate
to the operator that the high beam headlamps are
ON. Power is supplied to the cluster on the L3 cir-
cuit. Ground is provided on the Z3 circuit.
Circuit L3 connects from the headlamp dimmer
switch to the instrument cluster.
RIGHT AND LEFT TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS
These lamps are used to indicate to the operator
which turn signal is ON. Power for the lamps comes
from the turn signal switch. The L60 circuit is for the
right turn indicator, and the L61 circuit is used for
the left turn signal indicator. Ground for the circuits
is provided on the Z3 circuit.
BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR LAMP
The Brake Warning Indicator lamp is used to alert
the operator of a problem with the vehicles braking
system. The lamp illuminates when the ignition
switch is turned to START position to perform a self
check.

RADIATOR FAN OPERATION............... 6
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
AIR CONDITIONING-HEATER SYSTEM
The A/C-Heater System is powered by a by several
fuses. Fuse 10, a 15 amp fuse located in the fuse
block, is HOT in the RUN position. This fuse powers
the coil side of the A/C compressor clutch relay
located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
A 30 amp fuse, on circuit A16 located in the PDC,
powers the solid state radiator fan relay. This fuse is
HOT at all times. The 10 amp fuse on circuit A17
located in the PDC powers the contact side of the A/C
compressor clutch relay.
The A/C-Heater blower motor is protected by a 25
amp fuse located in cavity 7 of the fuse block. This
fuse in HOT in the RUN position only. When the
ignition switch is in the RUN position, power is sup-
plied to the fuse on circuit A22. The power leaves the
fuse on circuit C1 and goes directly to the blower
motor.
There is a 4 amp fuse located in cavity 12 of the
fuse block used for the illumination lamps in the A/C-
Heater control. The fuse is HOT at all times.
A/C OPERATION
When the A/C or the defrost switch is put in the
ON position, and the A/C cycling switch, low pressure
cut-out switch, and the high pressure switch are
CLOSED, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
receives a request for A/C.
After receiving this input, the PCM activates the
A/C compressor by grounding the C28 circuit on the
coil side of the A/C Compressor Clutch relay. Power
for the coil side of the relay is supplied on the bus
bar located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
With the coil energized, current flows from the 10
amp fuse in the PDC on circuit A17 through the
CLOSED contacts in the relay, on the C3 circuit to
the A/C compressor clutch.
The A/C compressor clutch receives this voltage
and creates a magnetic field energizing the clutch.
Ground for the coil is provided at the right headlamp
ground.
The connector at the A/C compressor has a diode
located in it. This diode is used to control the inducedvoltage resulting from the magnetic field collapsing
when the clutch is disengaged. The diode provides a
path for the voltage to protect other components and
systems.
The A/C compressor clutch relay is also used by the
PCM to disengage the compressor in a Wide Open
Throttle (W.O.T.) condition.
RADIATOR FAN OPERATION
The radiator fan system used in this vehicle uses a
solid state relay that controls the speed of the radia-
tor fan.
Power for the relay is supplied on circuit A16 This
circuit is HOT at all times and protected by a 30 amp
fuse located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
Ground for the coil side of the relay is controlled by
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). When the
PCM determines the need for fan operation the PCM
supplies the ground path for circuit K173. This cir-
cuit connects to cavity 18 of the PCM connector.
From the relay circuit C25 connects to the radiator
fan motor(s). On vehicles equipped with the manual
transmission only one radiator fan is used. For vehi-
cles equipped with an automatic transmission there
are two radiator fans used.
Ground for the radiator fans is supplied on circuit
Z1.
BLOWER MOTOR OPERATION
With the ignition switch in the RUN position,
power flows from the 25 amp fuse, in cavity 7 of the
fuse block, to the blower motor. Blower motor speed
is controlled by the fan control switch located in the
instrument panel, and the resistor block.
Blower motor LOW speed operation is accom-
plished on the C4 circuit. When the control switch is
moved to the LOW speed position, current is passed
on the C7 circuit through the blower motor resistor
to the C4 circuit. It then flows through the blower
motor switch to the Z8 circuit. The Z8 circuit termi-
nates at a grounding point on the instrument panel
left center support.
The operation of the blower motor M1 and M2
speed operations is the same as the LOW speed

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE (ACM)
Two different circuits supply battery voltage from
the fuse block to the Airbag Control Module (ACM),
F15 and F25. The F15 and F25 circuits are connected
to separate bus bars internal to the fuse block. Dif-
ferent circuits from the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) and ignition switch supply battery voltage to
the fuse block bus bars.
The F25 circuit supplies battery voltage to the
ACM only when the ignition switch is in the RUN
position. The F15 circuit powers the ACM when the
ignition switch is in either the START or RUN posi-
tion.
An internal bus bar in the ignition switch connects
the A1 circuit from the PDC to the A21 circuit when
the switch is either the START or RUN position. The
A21 circuit supplies battery voltage to the bus bar in
the fuse block that feeds the F15 circuit. A 30 amp
fuse in the PDC protects the A1 and A21 circuits. A
10 amp fuse in the fuse block, cavity 9, protects the
F15 circuit.
When the ignition switch is in the RUN position, it
connects the A2 circuit from the PDC to the A22 cir-
cuit. The A22 circuit supplies battery voltage to the
fuse block bus bar that feeds the F25 circuit. A 40
amp fuse in the PDC protects the A2 and A22 cir-
cuits. A 10 amp fuse in the fuse block, cavity 5, pro-
tects the F25 circuit.
Circuits D1 and D2 are connected to the CCD Bus
and the ACM. The CCD bus is used to provide com-
munications between modules and the universal data
link connector.
The ACM has a case ground and an external dedi-
cated ground, circuit Z6. The dedicated ground con-
nects to the instrument panel right center support.
AIRBAG IMPACT SENSOR
The Airbag system uses a sensor internal to the
Airbag Control Module (ACM) to detect impact. For
information regarding operation of this sensor, refer
to the appropriate group of the Service Manual.
AIRBAG SQUIB (AIRBAG IGNITER)
DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG
Two circuits, R43 and R45, connect the ACM to the
drivers side airbag module squib (igniter) after pass-
ing through the clock spring connector. Circuit R43
from cavity 3 of the ACM 4-way connector connects
to the squib. Circuit R45 from cavity 4 of the ACM
4-way connector connects to the squib. R43 and R45
are a twisted pair of wires.
PASSENGERS SIDE AIRBAG
Two circuits, R42 and R44, connect the ACM to the
passengers side airbag module squib (igniter). Circuit
R42 from cavity 1 of the ACM 4-way connector con-
nects to the squib. Circuit R44 from cavity 2 of the
ACM 4- way connector connects to the squib. R42
and R44 are a twisted pair of wires.
Circuits R50 and R51 are connected from the ACM
to the passangers airbag. These circuits are used to
monitor the pressure switch.
AIRBAG WARNING LAMP
The Airbag Warning lamp is used to alert the oper-
ator of a problem with the Airbag system. The lamp
is illuminated when the Airbag Control Module
(ACM) grounds the R41 circuit. Refer to the appro-
priate section of the Service Manual or Diagnostic
Test Procedures Manual to diagnosis this system.
HELPFUL INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION
The courtesy lamp system is powered at all times
by the 10 amp fuse located in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC). The M1 circuit feeds the courtesy
lamps, which include the trunk lamp, underhood
lamp, visor/vanity lamps, dome lamp, time delay
relay, and the glove box lamp.
HALO LAMP/TIME DELAY RELAY
The time delay relay is used to allow a time-ON
function for the ignition switch halo lamp. Power for
the relay is received on the M1 circuit from the 10
amp fuse located in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC). This is the Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse and
HOT at all times.
When a door is OPENED, or the headlamp switch
is moved to the dome lamp position, a ground path is
provided for the relay on the M23 circuit. This ener-
gizes the relay, CLOSING the contacts. When the
relay contacts are CLOSED, power is provided
through the relay to the M50 circuit.
The M50 circuit supplies current to the ignition
switch lamp in the steering column. Ground for the
lamp is provided on the Z3 circuit. This circuit
splices with the glove box lamp, the ash receiver
lamp, and the PRNDL lamp. The Z3 circuit termi-
nates at the instrument panel left center support.
Circuit M23 is also spliced with the Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) module and the time out relay
located in the fuse block.
TIME OUT RELAY
The time out relay is located in the fuse block and
is used to control the ground path for various interior
lamps. It will also turn the lamps OFF after a spec-
ified period of time, and works with the Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) system for illuminated entry.
Cirucit M2 connects to the relay and supplied a
ground path through the door ajar switches.Circuit M1 is used to supply battery voltage to the
relay. This circuit is proteced by a 10 amp fuse

ajar switches from the time out relay. The switches
are case-grounded to the body. When a door is
OPENED, the plunger in the switch CLOSES, com-
pleting a path to ground.
PL8W - 44 INTERIOR LIGHTING 8W - 44 - 5

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The second ground path is through the headlamp
switch. Circuit M23 is spliced in with the time out
relay. When the operator turns the headlamp switch
to the dome lamp ON position, a ground path is pro-
vided through the switch on the Z1 circuit. This
ground terminates at the instrument panel left cen-
ter support.
On vehicles equipped with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) the M23 circuit is spliced to the RKE module.
This allows the lamp to be turned ON when a valid
signal is reveived by the RKE module from the trans-
mitter.
MAP/READING LAMPS
The map/reading lamps are powered by the M1 cir-
cuit from the Power Distribution Center (PDC). This
circuit is the Ignition-Off Draw circuit and protected
by a 10 amp fuse. The M1 circuit is spliced and pro-
vides power for the visor/vanity lamps, radio, power
mirrors, dome lamp, time delay relay, and other inte-
rior lamps.
Ground for the lamps is provided from two sources.
One is the Z3 circuit which is spliced in with the
glove box lamp and terminates at the instrument
panel left center support. The second ground is pro-
vided on circuit M23. This circuit is spliced in with
the time out relay so the lamps will turn ON when
any door is OPENED.
On vehicles equipped with Remote Keyless Entry
