this type of system would only refer to this circuit.
A faulty speaker could not cause this DTC.
3.2.1 REMOTE RADIO CONTROLS
These radios can be controlled via remote radio
switches (optional). These switches are located on
the back side of the steering wheel. They control
mode, preset, seek up, seek down, volume up and
volume down functions.
These functions are inputs to the Body Control
Module and can be read with the DRBIIItunder
ªbody computerº. The switches are a multiplexed
signal to the BCM. The radio control MUX circuit is
a 5 volt line that is pulled to ground through
different value resistors built into the switches.
This causes a voltage drop to be seen by the BCM
and it sends a specific message to the radio on the
PCI Bus circuit. The radio then responses to the
message.
This circuit is fairly simple to troubleshoot. The
circuit must be complete from the switches in the
steering wheel to the BCM. The ground must be
complete so that the switches can cause the voltage
drop for the BCM to see. The circuit passes through
the clockspring so continuity through this devise
must be verified.
3.2.2 CD CHANGER
The new in-dash CD Changer is designed to fit
into the existing cubby bin in the center stack. This
new cartridge-less CD Changer is controlled by
your radio, and allows you to individually load up to
four discs at a time. However, due to its compact
design, the CD Changer can only carry out one
operation at a time. For example, you can not load
a new disc while playing another at the same time.
Each operation happens sequentially.
The radio unit installed with your system pro-
vides control over all features of the CD Changer
with the exception of the CD load and eject func-
tions, which are controlled by buttons located on the
front of the CD Changer. The radio also supplies the
power, ground, PCI Bus, left and right speaker
output thru a single DIN cable. All features you
would expect, such as Disc Up/Down, Track Up/
Down, Random and Scan are controlled by the
radio, which also displays all relevant CD Changer
information on the radio display.
The CD Changer contains a Load/Eject button
and an indicator light for each of the four disc
positions. The individual light indicates whether a
CD is currently loaded in that particular chamber of
the CD Changer. Pressing the individual Load/Eject
button for a particular chamber will eject a disc
currently present in that chamber. If the chamber iscurrently empty, actuating the Load/Eject button
will position that chamber to receive and load a new
disc in that chamber.
3.3 BODY CONTROL MODULE
The body control module (BCM) supplies vehicle
occupants with visual and audible information and
controls various vehicle functions. To provide and
receive information, the module is interfaced to the
vehicle's serial bus communications network (PCI).
This network consists of the powertrain control
module (PCM), the engine control module (ECM) -
diesel only, the transmission control module (TCM),
the mechanical instrument cluster (MIC), the front
control module (FCM), the occupant restraint con-
troller (ORC), the compass/mini-trip (CMTC), the
electronic vehicle information center (EVIC), the
controller antilock brake (CAB), the HVAC control
module (ATC & MTC), the power sliding door (Left
& Right) modules (PSD), the power liftgate module
(PLG), the Audio system, the side impact airbag
control (left & right) modules (SIACM), the memory
seat/mirror module (MSMM), the RKE/thatcham
alarm module and the sentry key immobilizer mod-
ule (SKIM). The BCM is operational when battery
power is supplied to the module.
The body control module provides the following
features:
²Power Door Locks
²Automatic Door Lock
²Door Lock Inhibit
²Central Locking (with VTSS Only)
²Battery Protection
²The BCM will automatically turn off all exterior
lamps after 3 minutes and all interior lamps after
15 minutes after the ignition is turned off, if they
are not turned off by the driver.
²Chime
²Compass/Minitrip Support
²Interior Lighting (Courtesy/Reading Lamps)
²BCM Diagnostic Reporting
²Electronic Liftgate Release (with Power Door
Locks)
²Exterior Lighting
²Power Folding Mirrors
²Remote Radio Controls
²Headlamp Time Delay (with/without Autohead-
lamps)
²Automatic Headlamps (with electrochromatic
mirror)
²Illuminated Entry
²Fade to Off

GENERAL INFORMATION
3.6 DOOR AJAR SYSTEM
The door ajar and liftgate ajar states are used as
inputs for the Body Control Module (BCM). The
BCM uses these inputs to determine exactly what
position the doors and liftgate are in. The DRBIIIt
will display the state of the door ajar and the
liftgate ajar switches in Inputs/Outputs. It's impor-
tant to note, that when any door, or the liftgate is
closed, the switch state on the DRBIIItwill show
OPEN. When any door, or the liftgate is open the
switch state on the DRBIIItwill show CLOSED.
During diagnosis, if a door or the liftgate is closed
and the DRBIIItdisplays the switch state as
CLOSED, it indicates a shorted ajar circuit. If the
door or the liftgate is open and the DRBIIItdis-
plays the switch state as OPEN, it indicates an
open ajar circuit.
3.7 EXTERIOR LIGHTING SYSTEM
3.7.1 HEADLAMP POWER
The headlamp switch is a direct input to the
BCM. The BCM sends a BUS message to the FCM
informing it of a headlamp switch status change.
The FCM then turns on power to the headlamps
through four ªfuselessº circuits. These circuits are
electronically controlled and continuously moni-
tored for malfunctions. Power is supplied to each
filament in a separate circuit. For vehicles equipped
with daytime running Lamps (DRL), the FCM elec-
tronically steps down the headlamp voltage to pro-
vide the desired illumination.
3.7.2 HEADLAMP SWITCH
The Headlamp Switch uses a multiplexed (MUX)
circuit to the Body Control Module (BCM). The
Headlamp Switch controls the Fog lamp relay, Park
lamps and the Low and High headlamps. The BCM
then sends a signal through the PCI Bus line to the
FCM as to what state the switch has selected. The
FCM energizes the high side output drivers to turn
ON the desired lamps.
3.7.3 PARK LAMP RELAY
The park lamp switch is a direct input to the
BCM. The BCM sends a BUS message to the FCM
informing it to turn on the park lamp relay. The
park lamp relay is then powered through low side
control of the FCM. This circuit is electronically
controlled and continuously monitored for malfunc-
tions.
3.7.4 FOG LAMP RELAY
The fog lamp switch is a direct input to the BCM.
The BCM sends a BUS message to the FCM inform-
ing it to turn on the fog lamp relay. The fog lamp
relay is then powered through low side control of
the FCM. This circuit is electronically controlled
and continuously monitored for malfunctions. Fog
lamp functionality is not equipped on all vehicles.
The FCM ªlearnsº that the vehicle is equipped with
fog lamps by reading the BCM BUS message.
3.7.5 FOG LAMPS
The BCM controls the operation of the fog lamp
relay that turns the fog lamps ON and OFF. The
Fog lamps can only be ON when the park and low
beams are ON. If the high beams are switched ON
then the Fog lamps will be automatically turned
OFF.
