HORN SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The dual-note horn system features dual electro-
magnetic horn units. The horn system includes the
following major components:
²Horn- The two horns are located on the left
side of the engine compartment below the Integrated
Power Module (IPM).
²Horn Switch- The horn switch is molded into
the driver airbag trim cover.
OPERATION
The horn system operates on battery current
received through a fuse in the Integrated Power
Module (IPM). The horn system circuit is designed so
that the system will remain operational, regardless
of the ignition switch position.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HORN SYSTEM
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the horn system requires the
use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the proper Diag-
nostic Procedures manual.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
In most cases, any problem involving continually
sounding horns can be quickly alleviated by removing
the horn fuse from the Integrated Power Module
(IPM).

CARGO LAMP INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A cargo lamp indicator is standard equipment on
all instrument clusters (Fig. 11). The cargo lamp
indicator is located on the right side of the instru-
ment cluster, to the right of the oil pressure gauge.
The cargo lamp indicator consists of a stencil-like
cutout of the words ªCARGO LAMPº in the opaque
layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark
outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An
amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout
in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
ªCARGO LAMPº text to appear in amber through the
translucent outer layer of the overlay when the indi-
cator is illuminated from behind by the LED, which
is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic cir-
cuit board. The cargo lamp indicator is serviced as a
unit with the instrument cluster.
OPERATION
The cargo lamp indicator gives an indication to the
vehicle operator when the exterior cargo lamp is illu-
minated. This indicator is controlled by a transistor
on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon

NOTE: If a new EVIC module has been installed, the
compass will have to be calibrated and the variance
set. Refer to Compass Variation Adjustment and
Compass Calibration in the Standard Procedures
section of this group for the procedures.
AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Ambient air temperature is monitored by the over-
head console. The ambient temperature messages are
received from the Front Control Module (FCM) over
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
J1850 data bus circuit. The FCM receives a hard
wired input from the ambient temperature sensor
(Fig. 7). The ambient temperature sensor is a vari-
able resistor mounted to the underside of the hood,
in the engine compartment.
For more information on the front control module,
refer toFront Control Modulein the Electronic
Control Modules section of this manual. For complete
circuit diagrams, refer toWiring. The ambient tem-
perature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable
resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent to it by the Front Control Module. The resis-
tance in the sensor changes as temperature changes,
changing the temperature sensor signal circuit volt-
age to the Front Control Module. Based upon the
resistance in the sensor, the Front Control Modulesenses a specific voltage on the temperature sensor
signal circuit, which it is programmed to correspond
to a specific temperature. The Front Control Module
then sends the proper ambient temperature mes-
sages to the EVIC, CMTC over the PCI J1850 data
bus.
The temperature function is supported by the
ambient temperature sensor, a wiring circuit, the
Front Control Module, the Programmable Communi-
cations Interface (PCI) data bus, and a portion of the
Electronics module. If any portion of the ambient
temperature sensor circuit fails, the Front Control
Module will self-diagnose the circuit.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer toWiring.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor wire har-
ness connector.
(2) Measure the resistance of the ambient temper-
ature sensor. At 24É C (75É F), the sensor resistance
should be approximately 10.3 kilohms. At 30É C (86É
F), the sensor resistance should be approximately
7.57 kilohms. The sensor resistance should decrease
as the temperature rises. If OK, refer toDiagnosis
and Testing - Ambient Temperature Sensor Cir-
cuitin this group. If not OK, replace the faulty
ambient temperature sensor.
NOTE: The ambient temperature sensor is a very
sensitive device. When testing, be certain the tem-
perature sensor has had time to stabilize (room
temperature) before attempting to read the sensor
resistance. Failure to let the ambient temperature
sensor temperature stabilize could result in a mis-
leading test.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor wire har-
ness connector and the Front Control Module wire
harness connector.
(2) Connect a jumper wire between the two termi-
nals of the ambient temperature sensor wire harness
connector.
(3) Check for continuity between the sensor return
circuit and the ambient temperature sensor signal
circuit cavities of the Front Control Module wire har-

ness connector. There should be continuity. If OK, go
to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open sensor return or
signal circuit as required.
(4) Remove the jumper wire from the ambient tem-
perature sensor wire harness connector. Check for
continuity between the sensor return circuit cavity of
the Front Control Module wire harness connector
and a good ground. There should be no continuity. If
OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the shorted sen-
sor return circuit as required.
(5) Check for continuity between the ambient tem-
perature sensor signal circuit cavity of the Front
Control Module wire harness connector and a good
ground. There should be no continuity. If OK, refer to

UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER
DESCRIPTION
Some DR models are equipped with a universal
transmitter transceiver. The universal transmitter is
integral to the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) and the Compass Mini-Trip Computer
(CMTC), which is located in the overhead console.
The only visible component of the universal transmit-
ter are the three transmitter push buttons centered
between the modules push buttons located just rear-
ward of the display screen in the overhead console.
The three universal transmitter push buttons are
identified with one, two or three light indicators so
that they be easily identified.
Each of the three universal transmitter push but-
tons control an independent radio transmitter chan-
nel. Each of these three channels can be trained to
transmit a different radio frequency signal for the
remote operation of garage door openers, motorized
gate openers, home or office lighting, security sys-tems or just about any other device that can be
equipped with a radio receiver in the 286 to 399
MegaHertz (MHz) frequency range for remote opera-
tion. The universal transmitter is capable of operat-
ing systems using either rolling code or non-rolling
code technology.
The electronics module displays messages and a
small house-shaped icon with one, two or three dots
corresponding to the three transmitter buttons to
indicate the status of the universal transmitter. The
EVIC messages are:
²Clearing Channels- Indicates that all of the
transmitter codes stored in the universal transmitter
have been successfully cleared.
²Channel ªXº Training- Indicates that the uni-
versal transmitter is in its transmitter learning
mode.
²Channel ªXº Trained- Indicates that the uni-
versal transmitter has successfully acquired a new
transmitter code.
²Channel ªXº Transmitting- Indicates that a
trained universal transmitter button has been
depressed and that the universal transmitter is
transmitting.
The universal transmitter cannot be repaired, and
is available for service only as a unit with the EVIC
or CMTC modules. If any part of the universal trans-
mitter is faulty or damaged, the complete EVIC or
CMTC module must be replaced.
OPERATION
The universal transmitter operates on a non-
switched source of battery current so the unit will
remain functional, regardless of the ignition switch
position. For more information on the features, pro-
gramming procedures and operation of the universal
transmitter, see the owner's manual in the vehicle
glove box.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - UNIVERSAL
TRANSMITTER
If the Universal Transmitter is inoperative, but the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) is oper-
ating normally, see the owner's manual in the vehicle
glove box for instructions on training the Transmit-
ter. Retrain the Transmitter with a known good
transmitter as instructed in the owner's manual and
test the Transmitter operation again. If the unit is
still inoperative, test the universal transmitter with
Radio Frequency Detector special tool. If both the
Transmitter and the EVIC module are inoperative,
refer toElectronic Vehicle Information Center
Diagnosis and Testingin this group for further
diagnosis. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to
Wiring Diagrams. (Fig. 8) as described below:

AUTOMATIC DAY / NIGHT
MIRROR
DESCRIPTION
The automatic day/night mirror uses a thin layer
of electrochromic material between two pieces of con-
ductive glass to make up the face of the mirror.
When the mirror switch is in the On position, two
photocell sensors are used by the mirror circuitry to
monitor external light levels and adjust the reflec-
tance of the mirror.
OPERATION
The ambient photocell sensor is located on the for-
ward-facing (windshield side) of the rear view mirror
housing, and detects the ambient light levels outside
of the vehicle. The headlamp photocell sensor is
located inside the rear view mirror housing behind
the mirror glass and faces rearward, to detect the
level of the light being received at the rear window
side of the mirror. When the circuitry of the auto-
matic day/night mirror detects that the difference
between the two light levels is too great (the light
level received at the rear of the mirror is much
higher than that at the front of the mirror), it begins
to darken the mirror.
The automatic day/night mirror circuitry also mon-
itors the transmission using an input from the
backup lamp circuit. The mirror circuitry is pro-
grammed to automatically disable its self-dimming
feature whenever it senses that the transmission
backup lamp circuit is energized.
The automatic day/night mirror is a completely
self-contained unit and cannot be repaired. If faulty
or damaged, the entire mirror assembly must be
replaced.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AUTOMATIC DAY /
NIGHT MIRROR
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appro-
priate wiring information.
(1) Check the fuse in the Integrated Power Module
(IPM). If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the
shorted circuit or component as required and replace
the faulty fuse.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the IPM. If
OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the open circuit to
the ignition switch as required.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Unplug the wire harness connector from the auto-
matic day/night mirror (Fig. 2). Connect the battery
negative cable. Turn the ignition switch to the On
position. Check for battery voltage at the fused igni-
tion switch output (run/start) circuit cavity of the
automatic day/night mirror wire harness connector. If
OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open circuit to
the IPM as required.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit cav-
ity of the automatic day/night mirror wire harness
connector and a good ground. There should be conti-
nuity. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the cir-
cuit to ground as required.

POWER SEATS
DESCRIPTION
The power seat system option allows the driver or
passenger to electrically adjust the seat position for
optimum control and comfort using the power seat
switches located on the outboard seat cushion side
shield. The power seat system allows the seating
position to be adjusted forward, rearward, front up,
front down, rear up, or rear down. The power seat
system receives battery current through a fuse in the
Integrated Power Module, regardless of the ignition
switch position. The power seat system includes the
following components:
²Driver Power Seat Switch
²Passenger Power Seat Switch
²Driver Power Seat Track
²Passenger Power Seat Track
²Power Lumbar Adjuster(s)
Some models equipped with the power seat option
also feature a power operated lumbar support in the
seat back. The power lumbar support allows the user
to inflate or deflate a bladder located in the lower
seat back to achieve optimum comfort and support in
the lower lumbar region of the spinal column. The
power lumbar support shares the battery feed circuit
of the power seat system.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the power seat system. Refer to
Heated Seat Systemfor information on the individ-ually controlled heated front seats. Refer to the own-
er's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the features, use and operation of the
power seat system.
OPERATION
The power seat system allows the driver and/or
front passenger seating positions to be adjusted elec-
trically and independently using the separate power
seat switches found on the outboard seat cushion
side shield of each front seat. See the owner's manual
in the vehicle glove box for more information on the
features, use and operation of the power seat system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER SEAT
SYSTEM
Before any testing of the power seat system is
attempted, the battery should be fully-charged and
all wire harness connections and pins checked to
ensure proper continuity and grounds. For circuit
descriptions and diagrams, refer to Wiring Diagrams.
With the dome lamp on, apply the power seat
switch in the direction of the failure. If the dome
lamp dims, the seat may be jamming. Check under
and behind the seat for binding or obstructions. If
the dome lamp does not dim, proceed with testing of
the individual components and circuits.
