CLEANING
Clean all foreign debris from belt pulley grooves.
The belt pulleys must be free of oil, grease, and cool-
ants before installing the drive belt.
INSPECTION
Belt replacement under any or all of the following
conditions is required:
²Excessive wear
²Frayed cords
²Severe glazing
Poly-V Belt system may develop minor cracks
across the ribbed side (due to reverse bending). These
minor cracks are considered normal and acceptable.
Parallel cracks are not (Fig. 5).
NOTE: Do not use any type of belt dressing or
restorer on Poly-V Belts.

be installed onto the crankshaft pulley (Fig. 3).
Slowly release belt tensioner.
(3) Verify belt is properly routed and engaged on
all pulleys (Fig. 6).

pump pulleys (Fig. 6).
(2) Apply an initial snug torque to fasteners (D),
(E), and (F) (Fig. 4).
(3) Tighten adjusting bolt (G) until the proper ten-
sion obtained (Fig. 4). Refer to Belt Tension Specifi-
cations (Refer to 7 - COOLING/ACCESSORY DRIVE

(4) Tighten locking nuts (D) and (F) to 54 N´m (40
ft. lbs.) (Fig. 4).
(5) Tighten pivot bolt (E) to 54 N´m (40 ft. lbs.)
(Fig. 4).
ADJUSTMENTS
Satisfactory performance of the belt driven accesso-
ries depends on proper belt tension. Belt tensioning
should be performed with the aid of Special Tool
7198. Because of space limitations in the engine com-
partment, the use of this gauge may be restricted.
Raise the vehicle on a hoist and the remove the
splash shield to gain access to the drive belts, if nec-
essary. Adjust belt tension for either aNeworUsed
belt. For specifications, (Refer to 7 - COOLING/AC-
CESSORY DRIVE - SPECIFICATIONS).

ENGINE COOLANT
THERMOSTAT
DESCRIPTION
The engine cooling thermostats are a wax pellet
driven, reverse poppet choke type. The thermostat is
mounted in a housing on the coolant outlet of the
engine (Fig. 8) or (Fig. 10).
OPERATION
The engine cooling thermostat is a wax pellet
driven, reverse poppet choke type. The thermostat is
designed to provide the fastest warm up possible by
preventing leakage through it and to guarantee a
minimum engine operating temperature of 88 to
93ÉC (192 to 199ÉF). The thermostat also will auto-
matically reach wide open so it will not restrict flow
to the radiator as temperature of the coolant rises in
hot weather to around 104ÉC (220ÉF). Above this
temperature the coolant temperature is controlled by
the radiator, fan, and ambient temperature, not the
thermostat.
The thermostat is operated by a wax filled con-
tainer (pellet) which is sealed. When heated coolant
reaches a predetermined temperature, the wax
expands enough to overcome the closing spring and
water pump pressure, which forces the valve to open.

OPERATION
The Body Control Module (BCM) is designed to
control and integrate many of the electronic features
and functions of the vehicle. The microprocessor-
based BCM hardware and software monitors many
hard wired switch and sensor inputs as well as those
resources it shares with other electronic modules in
the vehicle through its communication over the PCI
data bus network. The internal programming and all
of these inputs allow the BCM microprocessor to
determine the tasks it needs to perform and their
priorities, as well as both the standard and optional
features that it should provide. The BCM program-
ming then performs those tasks and provides those
features through both PCI data bus communication
with other electronic modules and through hard
wired low current outputs to a number of relays.
These relays provide the BCM with the ability to
control numerous high current accessory systems in
the vehicle.
The BCM monitors its own internal circuitry as
well as many of its input and output circuits, and
will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in elec-
tronic memory for any failure it detects. These DTCs
can be retrieved and diagnosed using a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove lower steering column cover and knee
blocker reinforcement.
(3) Disconnect two wire connectors from bottom of
Body Control Module (BCM)
(4) Remove bolts holding the BCM to the dash
panel mounting bracket.
(5) Remove the BCM from the mounting bracket.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the BCM onto the mounting bracket.
(2) Install the bolts holding the BCM to dash
panel mounting bracket.
(3) Connect two wire connectors to the bottom of
the BCM.
(4) Install the lower steering column cover and
knee blocker reinforcement.
(5) Connect the battery negative cable.
CONTROLLER ANTILOCK
BRAKE
DESCRIPTION
The controller antilock brake (CAB) is a micropro-
cessor-based device which monitors the antilock
brake system (ABS) during normal braking and con-trols it when the vehicle is in an ABS stop. The CAB
is mounted to the HCU as part of the integrated con-
trol unit (ICU) (Fig. 1). The CAB uses a 24-way elec-
trical connector on the vehicle wiring harness. The
power source for the CAB is through the ignition
switch in the RUN or ON position. The CAB is on
the PCI bus.
OPERATION
The primary functions of the controller antilock
brake (CAB) are to:
²Monitor the antilock brake system for proper
operation.
²Detect wheel locking or wheel slipping tenden-
cies by monitoring the speed of all four wheels of the
vehicle.
²Control fluid modulation to the wheel brakes
while the system is in an ABS mode.
²Store diagnostic information.
²Provide communication to the DRBIIItscan tool
while in diagnostic mode.
²Illuminate the amber ABS warning indicator
lamp.
²(With traction control only) Illuminate the TRAC
ON lamp in the message center on the instrument
panel when a traction control event occurs.
²(with traction control only) Illuminate the TRAC
OFF lamp when the amber ABS warning indicator
lamp illuminates.
The CAB constantly monitors the antilock brake
system for proper operation. If the CAB detects a
fault, it will turn on the amber ABS warning indica-
tor lamp and disable the antilock braking system.
