Gruise Control (cont'd)
- How the Circuit Works
The cruise control system uses mechanical and
electrical devices to maintain the car's sDeed at a
setting selected by the driver.
System Description
The cruise control unit receives command signals
from the crurse control main switch and the cruise
control SeVResume switch. With the ignition switch
in ON (ll) or START (lll), voltage is provided to the
cruise control main switch through fuse 14. When
you push the switch to ON, power is provided to the
cruise control unit and the brake switch.
The cruise control unit receives information about
operating conditions from the brake switch, the
vehicle speed sensor (VSS), and the clutch switch
(manual transmission) or the A,/T gear position
switch (automatic transmission). The cruise control
unit then sends signals to the cruise control actuator
which regulates the throttle position to maintain the
selected speed. The conlrol unit compares the
actual speed of the car to the selected speed. The
control unit then uses the result of that comoarison
to open or close the throttle.
The brake switch releases the system's control of
the throttle at the instant you press on the brake
pedal. The switch sends a signal to the control unit
by removing power from the normally closed brake
input (GRY wire), and providing power at the
normally open brake input (GRN/vVHT wire). The
control unit responds by allowing the throttle to
close. The clutch switch or the A,/T gear position
switch sends a "disengage" signal to the control unit
that also allows the throttle to close.
The cruise control system will set and automatically
maintain any speed above 25 mph (40 km/h). To set
it, make sure the main switch is on and the switch
indicator is on. Then, after reaching the desired
speed, press the SET switch. This sends a "set"
signal to the cruise control unit which, in turn,
controls the cruise control actuator to maintain the
set speed.
When you push the SET switch and the cruise
control system is on, the "cruise control" ON
indicator lights up.
34-4
(
You can cancel the cruise control system by
turning the main switch off . This removes power to
the control unit and erases the set speed from
memory. lf the system is disengaged temporarily
by the brake switch, or clutch switch, and the car's
speed is still above 25 mph, press the resume
switch: the car will automatically return to the
previously set speed.
For gradual acceleration without pressing the
accelerator pedal, push the RESUME switch and
hold it there. This will send an "acceleration" signal
to the control unit. When you release the switch, the
system will be reprogrammed for the new speed. To
slow the car down. oush the SET switch in and hold
it there. This sends a "deceleration" signal to the
control unit, causing the car to coast. When the
desired speed is reached, release the SET switch.
This reprograms the system tor the new speed.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 23, Electrical)
tor specific tests or troubleshooting 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.

Power Door Locks (cont'd)
- How the Circuit Works
Keyless Entry System
The keyless door locks combine the power door
locks with a remote keyJob transmitter. The keyless
receiver unit is part of the radio. The keyless
receiver unit receives direct inputs f rom the ignition
key switch, the passenger door switches, and an
indirect input trom the driver's door switch through
the integrated control unit.
Power Door Locks (With or Wlthout Keyless)
The power door lock system is made up of the
oower door lock control unit. driver's door lock
switch, and individual door lock actuators. The
power door locks are controlled by the driver's door
lock switch and the driver's door lock actuator
switch.
Transmitter (With Keyless Entry)
The transmitter sends coded radio wave signals to
the keyless receiver unit when one ot its buttons is
pressed. Each transmitter has a unique code that
must be 'laught" to the keyless receiver unit before
it can operate the door locks or any other lunction.
Up to 4 transmitters can be programmed to operate
the keyless door locks.
Door Locking (With or without Keyless Entry)
When you push the driver's door lock switch to the
lock position, ground is applied to the GBN/IVHT
wire to the oower door lock control unit. The control
unit then applies battery voltage to the WHT/RED
wire and ground to the YEURED wire. The
passenger door lock actuators then activate to lock
the corresponding door locks.
When you lock the driver's door with the key or door
lock knob, it is mechanically locked, and the driver's
door lock actuator switch applies ground to the
oower door lock control unit. The control unit then
applies battery voltage to the WHT/RED wire and
ground to the YEURED wire, activating the
passenger door lock actuators which lock the doors.
Dool Locking with Transmitter
When you press the LOCK button on the remote
transmitter, the power door lock control unit applies
battery voltage to the WHT/RED wire and ground to
the YEURED wire. The passenger door lock
actuators then activate and lock the doors. A ground
slgnal is also applied to the BLU/RED wire to lock
the driver's door. lf any door is open, you cannot lock
it using the remote transmitter.
Door Unlocking (With or Without Keyless Entry)
When you push the driver's power door lock switch
to the unlock position, ground is applied to the
GRN/ORN wire to the power door lock control unit.
The control unit then applies battery voltage to the
YEURED and BLU/RED wires and ground to the
WHT/RED wire. The door lock actuators then
activate to unlock the doors.
When you unlock the driver's door with the key or
the door lock knob, it is mechanically unlocked; the
other doors do not unlock.
Door Unlocking (With Transmltter)
When you press the UNLOCK button on lhe remote
transmitter once. the power door lock control unit
applies battery voltage to the WHT/RED wire and
ground to the BLU/RED wire to unlock the driver's
door. When you press the UNLOCK button twice,
the control unit then applies ground to the YEURED
wires to activate the passenger door locks. lf you do
not open a door within 30 seconds after unlocking
the doors with the transmitter, the doors
automatically relock.
Transmltter Programming
1 . Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
2. Press and hold the Valet-Disarm button on the
radio (between the AM/FM button and the
