- How the Circuit Works
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) prevents locking
of the wheels as a result of heavy braking and/or
poor lraction. A vehicle with locked wheels cannot
be steered. The anti-lock brake system controls the
application of the brakes, allowing the driver to
maintain control of the steering.
Under anti-lock conditions, the antilock brake
system (ABS) modulates the pressure of the brake
tluid to each brake caliper. This system is a four
channel system: the pressure at each caliper is
controlled independently of the pressure al any
other caliper. Whenever a wheel is likely to lock
dunng braking, the anti-lock brake system
modulates the brake oressure at that wheel. When
the brake pressure is reduced to the point where
there is no longer any possibility of wheel locking,
the system returns to the conventional braking
system mode of operation.
Battery voltage is applied at all times through fuse
63 to the ABS control unit. When the ignition switch
is in ON (ll), battery voltage is supplied to the
control unit through fuse 16. The control unit is case
grounded. Inputs are received from the brake switch
and the individual wheel sensors located at each
wheel. The ABS control unit uses these inputs to
control the modulator solenoid unit. The solenoids
adjust the hydraulic pressure applied to each
calioer.
The ABS control unit has a self-diagnosis function.
When the control unit detects a fault, it turns on the"ABS" indicator and disables the anti-lock brake
system. lf the fault is not in the conventional braking
system, the brakes will continue to operate normally
but without the anti-lock feature.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section '19,
Anti-Lock Brake System) for specific tests or
troubleshooting procedures.

- How the Circuit Works
'96198 Models
The air delivery system directs the flow of air used
by the heater and air conditioner systems.
Mode Selection
Mode selection is controlled by the mode switches
in the heater control panel and the mode control
motor. When you select a specific mode, voltage is
applied through the dimming circuit to the LED,
which comes on, indicating the mode selected.
Ground is orovided to the mode control motor
though that mode switch. The motor then runs until
the air control door reaches the proper position.
Fresh/Recirculation 56lection
When you press the fresh or recirculation button, a
ground signal is sent from the heater control panel
to the recirculation control motor. The motor then
runs until the recirculation door reaches the proper
position. Battery voltage is also applied through the
dimming circuit to the corresponding LED, and the
LED comes on.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 21, Heater) for
specitic tests or troubleshooting proc€dures.
'99J00 Models
The heater control panel receives battery voltage at
all times through fuse 47. With the ignition switch in
ON (ll), voltage is supplied to the heater control
panel through fuse 17. The control panel is
grounded at G402.
The heater control panel controls the air delivery
motors, and supplies a 5 VDC reterence voltage to
the air mixture control motor.
The air mixture and mode control motors each
receive inputs trom the heater control panel. The air
mix motor regulates the mixture of cold and hot air
by varying the position of the heater-evaporator doot
The mode control motor controls the direction and
volume of outlet air. The air flow can be directed to
the dashboard vents or the corner vents.
Both the air mixture control molor and mode control
motor are grounded by the h€aler control panel.
The recirculation control motor receives battery
voltage through fuso 17 when the ignition swilch is
in ON (ll). lt regulates the position of the fresh/recirc
door, and is controlled by two position inputs from
the heater control panel ("Recirc" and "Fresh").
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 21, Heater) tor
specific tests or troubleshooting procedures.

- How the Circuit Works
Battery voltage is supplied through tuse 56 to the
A,/C compressor clutch r€lay contacts at all times.
With the ignition switch in ON (ll), vollage is applied
to the coil of the A,/C compressor clutch relay
through fuse 17. When you push the A,/C switch
ON, and the heater fan switch is in position | , 2, 3,
or 4, a "ground" input is provided to the engine
control module (ECM) or powertrain control module
(PCM) through the l'lC thermostat and the l'lC
pressure switch.
The A,/C compressor clutch relay is grounded by the
engine control module (ECM) or powertrain control
module (PCM). When energized, the A'lC
compressor clutch relay allows battery voltage to
turn on the A,/C comDressor clutch.
The A,/C ON indicator light comes on when the A,/C
system is requested.
A,/C Thermostat
The A'lC thermostat is located on the evaoorator
housing. The A,/C thermostat turns off the A,/C
compressor clutch if the temperature at the
evaporator goes below 3'C (37'F). This prevents
condensation from freezing on the evaporator fins
and blocking the air delivery into the passenger
compartment. The blower motor will keep running
when the sensor turns off the comDressor.
A,/C Pressure Switch
The fuC oressure switch is located in the condenser
outlet line where refrigerant is in a high
temperature/high pressure liquid state. The switch
will sense abnormally high or low pressure, and
open the circuit. This removes ground, and the
compressor will stop running.
Thermal Protectot
The thermal protector, located on the A,/C
compressor, opens and turns the compressor off if it
senses high temperature. Once the compressor
cools, the switch will close and the compressor will
begin running again.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 22,
Air Conditioning) for specific tests or
troubleshooting procedures.

How the Circuit Works
Seat Belt Warning
With the ignition switch in ON (ll) or START (lll),
battery voltage is applied to the seat belt reminder
light. When the seat belt is not buckled, the seat
belt reminder/key-on beeper circuit in the
integrated control unit senses ground through the
closed seat belt switch. The seat belt reminder light
comes on and stays on, and the beeper beeps for
6 seconds. The reminder light and beeper will stop
when the seat belt is buckled or the timer circuit
deactivates them.
lgnition Key Warning
Battery voltage is supplied at all times to the seat
belt reminder/key-on beeper circuit in the
integrated control unit. When you turn on the
ignition key switch the integrated control unit
senses ground. lf you open the driver's door, the
door switch closes, causing the beeper to sound
until the door is closed.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 23, Electrical)
for specitic tests or troubleshootrng procedures.

Gauges (cont'd)
- How the Gircuit Works
When the ignition switch is in ON (ll) or START (lll),
battery voltage is supplied through fuse 25 to the
gauges in the gauge assembly.
Speedometer and Odometer
The odometer and soeedometer drive circuits
receive pulses from the vehicle speed sensor
(VSS). The pulse rate increases as the car
accelerates. The frequency and duration of these
input pulses are measured and displayed by the
speedometer, odometer and tripmeter.
Tachometer
The tachometer drive circuit receives pulses from
the ignition control module (lCM) in the distributor
assembly or the ECM/PCM. The solid-state
lachometer then displays these pulses as engine
speed. For each 200 pulses per minute from the
ignition control modul€ (lCM) or the ECM/PCM, the
tachometer displays 100 RPM.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
The engine coolant temperature gauge has two
intersecting coils wound around a permanent
magnet rotor. Voltage applied to the coils, through
fuse 25, generates a magnetic lield. The magnetic
field, controlled by the coolant temperature sending
unit, causes the rotor to rotate and the gauge
needle to move. As the resistance in the sending
unit varies, current through the gauge coils
changes. The gauge needle moves toward the coil
with the strongest magnetic field.
The 6ngine coolant temperature sending unit's
resistance varies from about 137 ohms at low
engine temperature to between 3H6 ohms at high
temperature (radiator fan running).
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 23, Electrical)
for specific tests or troubleshooting procedures.

(
Fuel Gauge (All except cX)
The fuel gauge has two intersecting coils wound
around a permanent magnet rotor. Voltage applied
to the coils, through tuse 25, generates a magnetic
field. The magnetic field, controlled by the fuel
gauge sending unit, causes the rotor to rotate and
the gauge needle to move. As the resislance in the
sending unit varies, current through the gauge coils
changes. The gauge needle moves toward the coil
with the strongest magnetic field.
The fuel gauge sending unit's resistance varies
from about 2-5 ohms at full, to about 110 ohms at
empty. When you turn the ignition switch off, the
gauge remains at the last reading until you turn the
ignition switch to ON (ll) or START (lll) again,
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 23, Electrical)
for specific tests or troubleshooting procedures.
Fuel Gauge (GX)
The fuel gauge has two intersecting coils wound
around a permanent magnet rotor. Voltage applied
to the coils, through fuse 25, generates a magnetic
field. The magnetic field, controlled by the PCM,
causes the rotor to rotate and the gauge needle to
move. The PCM calculates the gas quantity in the
fuel tank by using the fuel pressure value detected
by the tuel tank pressure sensor and the fuel
temperature value detected by the fuel tank
temperalure sensor, and outputs the signal to the
gauge assembly. The gauge needle moves toward
the coil with the strongest magnetic field.
When you turn the ignition switch off , the gauge
remains at the last reading until you turn the ignition
switch to ON (ll) or START (lll) again. When the
PCM detects a malfunction with the fuel pressure or
temperature, or detects a gas leak, the PCM
reduces the fuel meter to 0.
Refer to the Service Manual GX Supplement
(Section 11 , Fuel and Emissions) for specific tests
or troubleshooting procedures.

Front WiperMasher (cont'd)
- How the Circuit Works
When the ignition switch is in ON (ll) or START (lll),
battery voltage is applied to lhe combination wiper
switch. and the windshield wiDer motor.
Low Speed
When you turn the wiper switch to LO, the wiper
motor's low speed winding is grounded through the
BLU wire and the LO speed contacts of the wip€r
switch at G401, and the wipers run at low speed.
ParUOfl
When you turn the wiper switch OFF, the integrated
control unit (PARK input) grounds the wiper motor
through the BLUMHT wire. The cam switch on the
motor signals the integrated control unit that the
wipers are in the PARK position; the control unit
then removes ground from the motor, and the
wipers stop in the PARK position.
High Speed
When the wiper switch is in Hl, the high speed
windings of the windshield wiper motor are
grounded through the BLUIrEL wire and the Hl
contacts of the wiper switch at G401, and the
wipers run at high speed.
Intermittent
When the wiper switch is in lNT, battery voltage is
applied through the YEUBLU wire to the integrated
control unit (lntermittent wiper ON input). The
integrated control unit (lnt€rmittenvPark Wiper
Control) grounds the low speed windings of the
wiper motor and the wipers make a single sweep
every few seconds (See Low Speed above). When
the wiper retums to the PARK position, the park
switch applies battery voltage through the
BLUMHT wire to the integrated control unit (PARK
input), and the wipers stop in the PARK position.
Mist
When you pull the wiper switch down to MIST
position, the high speed windings ot the wiper motor
are grounded through the BLU^/EL wire and the
closed contacts ot the mist switch at G401, and the
wipers make one pass across the windshield at high
speed. The ParUOff function then takes over and
the wipers stop in the PARK position.
Washel
When you pull the wiper switch toward you to turn
on the washer switch, battery vollage is applied to
the washer motor. The motor pumps fluid onto the
windshield until you release the lever; on '98r99
models, the integrated control unit (windshield
washer ON input) s€nses power at the WHT/BLK
wire terminal and runs the wipers whenever the
washer motor runs.
