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
8
GENERAL INFORMATION

This feature dims the interior lighting (courtesy
lamps) gradually if the BCM does not receive any
new inputs that would cause the interior lamps to
remain on.
²PWM Instrument Panel Dimming
²Door Lock Inhibit
This feature disables the door lock functions if the
key is in the ignition and either front door is ajar.
Pressing the RKE lock/unlock button under these
conditions, result in normal lock/unlock activation.
²Power Sliding Door Switch Inputs
The BCM has 4 switch inputs for the power
sliding door feature: Located in the overhead con-
sole are the Left and Right side sliding door
switches to activate either or both sliding doors
under the proper conditions. Also are B-Pillar
switches located on the Left and Right B-pillar
posts.
²Power Liftgate Switch Input
The BCM has 1 Liftgate switch input located in
the overhead console
²Power Lockout Switch Input
The BCM has 1 Lockout switch that when en-
abled will disable the B-Pillar sliding door switches
from activating either sliding door when depressed.
When replacing a body control module there are 2
modules available, a Base and a Midline. The
Midline controller is used on vehicles that have
Power Door Locks. If a vehicle is equipped with the
Vehicle Theft Security System, the midline control-
ler becomes a premium when the theft feature is
enabled.
NOTE: DO NOT SWAP THE BODY CONTROL
MODULE BETWEEN VEHICLES OR BODY
CONTROL MODULES OFF THE SHELF.
Engineering does not recommend that service,
dealers or the plant swap Body Control Modules
(BCM) between vehicles or off the shelf. The BCM
has internal diagnostic capability that assists in
diagnosing the system. When an ªOpenº or a
ªShortº circuit exists, the diagnostic tool can be
used to read the BCM codes. The codes are very
descriptive in identifying the appropriate feature
that has faulted.
3.4 CHIME WARNING SYSTEM
The BCM monitors the door/liftgate ajar
switches, multifunction switches, headlight switch,
ignition switch, PCI bus, and the diagnostic tool to
perform various chime operations. The BCM uses a
low-side driver to control the chime located in the
cluster.
The chime system provides the Driver with warn-
ing chimes for:
²Seat belt
²Exterior lights on
²Key-in Ignition
²Key-in Accessory
²Engine temperature critical
²Low washer fluid
²Turn signals on
²Dome light on
²Low oil pressure
²Any warning lamp announcement
²High-speed warning Gulf Coast Countries (GCC)
only
The output sound intensity of the chime is ap-
proximately 72 decibels.
3.4.1 CHIME PRIORITY
The following list indicates the priority of the
chime when more than one chime is active at the
same time:
²Seat belt warning
²High-speed warning Gulf Coast Countries (GCC)
only
²Turn signal on
²Chime request
²Warning lamp announcement
The cluster is responsible to set priority on all
warning lamp announcement chimes.

GENERAL INFORMATION

3.5 COMMUNICATION
The Programmable Communication Interface or
PCI Bus is a single wire multiplexed network capa-
ble of supporting binary encoded messages shared
between multiple modules. The PCI bus circuit is
identified as D25 and is white with a violet tracer.
Additional tracer colors may be added to the violet
in order to distinguish between different module
connections. The modules are wired in parallel.
Connections are made in the harness using splices.
One splice called the Diagnostic Junction Port,
serves as the ªHubº of the bus. The Diagnostic
Junction Port provides an access point to isolate
most of the modules on the bus in order to assist in
diagnosing the circuit. The following modules are
used on the RG:
²Body Control Module
²Front Control Module
²Occupant Restraint Controller
²Left Side Impact Airbag Control Module
²Right Side Impact Airbag Control Module
²Controller Antilock Brake
²Powertrain Control Module
²Engine Control Module - Diesel Only
²Radio
²CD Changer
²Transmission Control Module
²Automatic Temperature Control Module
²A/C Heater Control Module (MTC)
²Sentry Key Immobilizer Module
²RKE/Thatcham Alarm Module
²Memory Seat/Mirror Module
²Overhead Console
²Mechanical Instrument Cluster
²Left Sliding Door Control Module
²Right Sliding Door Control Module
²Power Liftgate Module
Each module provides its own bias and termina-
tion in order to transmit and receive messages. The
bus voltage is at zero volts when no modules are
transmitting and is pulled up to about seven and a
half volts when modules are transmitting.
The bus messages are transmitted at a rate
averaging 10800 bits per second. Since there is only
voltage present when the modules transmit and the
message length is only about 500 milliseconds, it is
ineffective to try and measure the bus activity witha conventional voltmeter. The preferred method is
to use the DRBIIItlab scope. The 12v square wave
selection on the 20-volt scale provides a good view of
the bus activity. Voltage on the bus should pulse
between zero and about seven and a half volts.
Refer to the following figure for some typical dis-
plays.
The PCI Bus failure modes are broken down into
two categories. Complete PCI Bus Communication
Failure and individual module no response. Causes
of complete PCI Bus Communication Failure in-
clude a short to ground or battery on the PCI
circuit. Individual module no response can be
caused by an open circuit at either the Diagnostic
Junction Port or the module, or an open battery or
ground circuit to the affected module.
Symptoms of a complete PCI Bus Communication
Failure would include but are not limited to:
²All gauges on the MIC stay at zero
²All telltales on MIC illuminate
²MIC backlighting at full intensity
²Dashed lines in the overhead console ambient
temperature display
²No response received from any module on the PCI
bus (except the PCM)
²No start (if equipped with Sentry Key Immobi-
lizer)
Symptoms of Individual module failure could
include any one or more of the above. The difference
would be that at least one or more modules would
respond to the DRBIIIt.
Diagnosis starts with symptom identification. If a
complete PCI Bus Communication Failure is sus-
pected, begin by identifying which modules the
vehicle is equipped with and then attempt to get a
response from the modules with the DRBIIIt.Ifany
modules are responding, the failure is not related to
the total bus, but can be caused by one or more
modules PCI circuit or power supply and ground
circuits. The DRBIIItmay display ªBUS +/- SIG-
NAL OPENº or ªNO RESPONSEº to indicate a
communication problem. These same messages will
be displayed if the vehicle is not equipped with that
particular module. The CCD error message is a
default message used by the DRBIIItand in no way
indicates whether or not the PCI bus is operational.
The message is only an indication that a module is
either not responding or the vehicle is not equipped.

GENERAL INFORMATION

3.7.6 EXTERIOR LIGHTING BATTERY
SAVER
The BCM monitors the status of, and controls, the
Park Lamps, Headlamps and Fog Lamp relays. If
any exterior lamps are left ON after the ignition is
turned OFF, the BCM will turn them OFF after 3
minutes.
3.7.7 AUTO HEADLAMPS
This feature is available on vehicles equipped
with both the Electrocromatic Mirror (ECM) and
the Compass/Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC). When
the BCM detects a day/night signal from the CMTC,
an ECM is present and Auto Headlamp mode is
selected.
3.8 FRONT CONTROL MODULE
The Front Control Module (FCM) is an electrical
control and interface center located in the engine
compartment. When it is mated to the Power Dis-
tribution Center (PDC), it is referred to as the
Intelligent Power Module (IPM). The IPM, with its
fuses and relays provides power and signal distri-
bution throughout most of the vehicle. The FCM
receives both hard wire and digital electronic inputs
from the vehicle electrical system through the PDC.
Based on these inputs and the ignition switch
position, it provides direct power feeds and relay
control to some of the vehicles' most critical electri-
cal systems.
The Front Control Module provides the following
features:
Controlled power feeds:
²Front airbag system
²Side airbag system
²Headlamp power
²EATX module power (4 speed only)
²Front washer motor
²Rear washer motor
²Brake shift interlock system
Relay controls:
²Fog lamp relay (when equipped)
²Park lamp relay
²Front wiper on relay

3.8.1 CONTROLLED POWER FEEDS
Front airbag system
The FCM provides power to the Occupant Re-
straint Control (ORC) system through two ªfuse-
lessº circuits (ORC RUN/START, and ORC RUN
only). These circuits are electronically controlled
and continuously monitored for malfunctions.
Power is supplied while the ignition switch is in the
RUN and START positions on pin 48 of the FCM
connector, and in the RUN only position on pin 29.
Side airbag system
The FCM provides power to the Side Impact
Airbag Control Module (SIACM) system through
one ªfuselessº circuit. This circuit is electronically
controlled and continuously monitored for malfunc-
tions. Power is supplied in the ignition RUN and
START positions on pin 28 of the FCM connector.
Headlamp power
The headlamp switch is a direct input to the
BCM. The BCM sends a PCI 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 continu-
ously monitored for malfunctions. Power is supplied
to each filament in a separate circuit (RH low on pin
6, RH high on pin 4, LH low on pin 3 and LH high
on pin 5). For vehicles equipped with Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL), the FCM electronically
steps down the headlamp voltage to provide the
desired illumination.
