On vehicles equipped with AutoStick, the display
includes an O/D OFF indicator that is illuminated
when the driver presses the Overdrive Off button
on the transaxle shifter.
3.11.1 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SELF TEST
1. Depress and hold the Odometer Reset button.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN/START
position.
3. Release the Odometer reset button.
The Instrument Cluster will illuminate all indi-
cators and step the gauges through several calibra-
tion points. Also, the odometer will display any
stored codes that may have set.
3.11.2 MESSAGE CENTER
The Message Center is located above the brow of
the Instrument Cluster. It houses the following
warning indicators: Check Engine/Service Engine
Soon, high beam, left and right turn signals, Secu-
rity Alarm Set, and low oil pressure. On base
models equipped with the three-speed transaxle,
these indicators appear in the face of the cluster.
The Security Alarm set indicator is a red circle.
Activation of Instrument Cluster indicators is
coordinated with indicators in the message center
and EVIC to avoid redundancy. A revised safety
standard now requires that the seat belt warning
lamp in the Instrument Cluster remain lit if the
driver seat belt is not buckled. A headlamp out ISO
indicator has been added to the Instrument Cluster
to alert the driver when a headlamp is not function-
ing.
3.12 INTERIOR LIGHTING
3.12.1 COURTESY LAMP CONTROL
The body controller has direct control over all of
the vehicle's courtesy lamps. The body computer
will illuminate the courtesy lamps under any of the
following conditions:
1. Any door ajar and courtesy lamp switch on the
headlamp switch is not in the dome off position.
2. The courtesy lamp switch on the headlamp
switch is in the dome on position.
3. A Remote Keyless Entry unlock message is re-
ceived.
4. Driver door unlocked with key (with VTSS only).
3.12.2 ILLUMINATED ENTRY
Illuminated entry will be initiated when the cus-
tomer enters the vehicle by unlocking the doors
with the key fob, or with the key if the vehicle is
equipped with vehicle theft alarm. Upon exiting thevehicle, if the lock button is pressed with a door
open, illuminated entry will cancel when the door
closes. If the doors are closed and the ignition
switch is turned on, the illuminated entry also
cancels. The illuminated entry feature will not
operate if the courtesy lamp switch is in the dome
off position.
3.12.3 INTERIOR LIGHTING BATTERY
SAVER
If any of the interior lamps are left on after the
ignition is turned off, the BCM will turn them off
after 8 minutes. To return to normal operation, the
courtesy lamps will operate after the dome lamp
switch or door ajar switch changes state. The glove
box and switched reading lamps require that the
ignition be turned to the on/acc position.
3.13 MEMORY SYSTEM
The memory system consists of power driver 's
seat, power mirrors and radio presets. The Memory
Seat/Mirror Module (MSMM) is located under the
driver 's seat. It receives input from the following:
driver 's manual 8-way seat switch, driver 's seat
position sensors, PCI bus circuits, and the power
mirror sensors. The module uses these inputs to
perform the following functions: position the driv-
er 's memory seat, both exterior mirrors (during
recalls), and send/receive the memory system infor-
mation over the PCI bus.
The Memory Set Switch is wired to the Body
Control Module (BCM). When a button (either #1 or
#2) is pressed on the set switch causes the to BCM
send a message to the MSMM which in turn sends
a motion status messages to the BCM. If the BCM
receives no motion from the MSMM it will send a
recall message to the MSMM and radio (once igni-
tion is in run or accessory). The MSMM will in turn
position the drivers seat, both mirrors along with
recalling the radio presets. If the drivers seat or
either exterior mirror is inoperative from its own
respective switches, use the service information
and schematic to diagnose the problem. This man-
ual addresses the memory problems only and it is
assumed there is not a basic component failure.
3.13.1 POWER SEAT
The memory power seat provides the driver with
2 position settings for the driver 's seat. Each power
seat motor is connected to the MSMM with two
motor drive circuits. Each circuit is switched be-
tween battery and ground. By being able to bi-
directionally drive the circuits, the MSMM controls
the movement of the motors based on input from
the power seat switch or from the position sensors
when performing a memory recall. Each motor
22
GENERAL INFORMATION

seconds instead of 5, the CMTC will set the
variance to 8 and enter the fast calibration
mode.
3. The VAR light will come on and the last variance
setting will be displayed.
4. Press the STEP button to set the zone number.
5. Press the US/M button and resume normal op-
eration.
NOTE: Do not attach any magnetic device
such as a magnetic CB antenna to the
vehicle. This can cause the compass to give
false readings.
3.15 POWER DOOR LOCK SYSTEM
When the BCM receives input for a lock request
from a door lock switch, RKE or cylinder lock switch
(only with VTSS), it will turn the lock driver on for
a specified time of 375 msec. If the request is there
beyond 375 msec, the BCM considers the door lock
signal stuck. Once a door lock or unlock signal is
stuck for longer than 10 seconds, the BCM will set
a trouble code and the signal input is ignored until
the stuck condition disappears. The door lock
switches provide a variable amount of resistance
thereby dropping the voltage of the multiplexed
(MUX) circuit and the BCM will respond to that
command.
3.15.1 SLIDING DOOR MEMORY LOCK
When the BCM receives an input for a lock
request and a sliding door is open, the BCM will
turn on the lock driver as described above, and will
turn it on again when all sliding doors are closed.
NOTE: If the BCM receives an unlock input before
a sliding door is closed, this will cancel the memory
lock.
3.15.2 DOOR LOCK INHIBIT
When the key is in the ignition and in any
position and either front door is open, the door lock
switches LOCK functions are disabled. The UN-
LOCK functions are still functional. This protects
against locking the vehicle with the keys still in the
ignition. The RKE key fob will still lock the doors as
usual. This allows the driver to lock the vehicle with
the engine running for warm up.
3.15.3 AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS
This feature can be enabled or disabled by using
either the DRBIIItor the customer programming
method. When enabled all the doors will lock when
the vehicle reaches a speed of 18 MPH (29 KMH)
and all the doors are closed. If a door is opened and
the vehicle slows to below 18 MPH (29 KMH), thedoor locks will operate again once all doors are
closed and the speed is above 15 MPH (24 KMH).
3.15.4 REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The body control module interfaces with the RKE
module via a one-way serial bus interface. The RKE
module is not on the PCI bus. The RKE module
sends a 0-5 volt pulse width signal to the BCM
depending on which button on the transmitter was
pressed. The BCM controls the door lock/unlock
functions and the arming/disarming of the Vehicle
Theft Security System (if equipped) and the activa-
tion of illuminated entry. The BCM will also send
the appropriate messages to the Power Sliding
Doors and Power Liftgate modules. The Intelligent
Power Module (IPM) activates the park lamps,
headlamps, and horn for horn chirp when sent the
appropriate message from the BCM as received
from the RKE transmitter. When a one-button
press is made for unlock, both driver side doors will
unlock and the front and rear turn signal will flash.
When a second press is initiated (within 5 seconds
of the first) both passenger doors will unlock and all
four turn signals will flash.
The RKE module is capable of retaining up to 4
individual access codes (4 transmitters). If the
PRNDL is in any position except park, the BCM will
ground the interface thereby disabling the RKE.
The 2 button transmitter will have 2-CR2016
batteries in series. The 5 button transmitter will
have 1-CR2016 battery. The minimum battery life
should be approximately 4.7 years based on 20
transmissions a day at 84ÉF (25ÉC). Using the
DRBIIItand selecting RKE FOB Test can test the
transmitter.
The RKE module can be programmed via the
DRBIIItor the customer programming method.
The BCM will only allow programming mode to be
entered when the ignition is in the on position, the
PRNDL is in park position, and the VTSS (if
equipped) is in the disarmed mode.
3.16 POWER FOLDING MIRRORS
The power folding mirrors are powered to two
positions: folded and unfolded. The driver may
choose fold or unfold with a switch that is located on
the right side of the steering column. The folding
mirror switch grounds a sense wire that comes from
the Body Control Module when it is placed in the
fold position. The mirrors will move to the position
designated by the switch whether the ignition
switch is the On or Off position and both front doors
are closed. When the Power Folding Mirror switch
is left in the fold position during a vehicle exit the
mirrors will automatically unfold then refold after
both front doors are closed. This is to prevent mirror
contact with either front door when opened. When
24
GENERAL INFORMATION

opening either front door, the Body Control Module
will unfold the mirrors in the following manner
depending on which front door is opened. If the
driver door is opened, only the driver side mirror
will unfold. If the passenger door is opened, both
mirrors will unfold. The passenger mirror is pre-
vented from unfolding when the driver 's door is
opened by the Passenger Folding Mirror Relay,
which opens the driver circuit to the passenger side
mirror.
3.17 POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM
3.17.1 POWER LIFTGATE
The power liftgate (PLG) system is activated
through the use of the following: remote keyless
entry (RKE), overhead console switches, outside
liftgate handle switch or the DRBIIIt. These inputs
are hardwired to the body control module (BCM)
and can be monitored with a diagnostic tool. The
BCM will send the message via PCI bus to the
power liftgate module (PLGM). The liftgate must be
in the full open or full closed position to operate.
Once the BCM sends a button activation message to
the PLGM, the module shall read all inputs, out-
puts and vehicle conditions to determine whether it
shall open, close or inhibit the PLG operation. Once
the PLGM determines the vehicle conditions are
safe for operation, the PLGM will initiate a chime
for 2 seconds prior to the liftgate activation and 2
seconds during the open or close cycle.
During an opening or closing cycle, the PLGM can
detect an obstacle present should it meet sufficient
resistance by the hall effect sensors (integrated in
the gear motor assembly GMA).
During an open cycle, multiple liftgate activa-
tions (RKE, overhead console, B pillar) are ignored
until the liftgate reaches the full open position.
However, during a close cycle, a 2nd liftgate activa-
tion (RKE, overhead console, B pillar) will reverse
the liftgate to the full open position.
If the engine is cranked during a power open/close
the PLG will pause then resume after engine crank-
ing. In addition, if the vehicle is placed in gear
during an open cycle, the PLG shall reverse direc-
tion and begin closing. If the vehicle is placed in
gear during a closing cycle, the PLG shall continue
closing until fully closed. If the outside handle is
activated during an open cycle, the PLG will become
a full manual liftgate. If the outside handle is
activated during a close cycle, the PLG shall reverse
direction of travel to the full open position.
3.17.2 DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES
The PLG can be flashed on vehicle via PCI bus
with a DRBIIItdiagnostic tool. The DRBIIItcanread all inputs, actuate all outputs, read module
information, and read diagnostic trouble codes. As a
reminder, some DTC's can be set during normal
PLG operation.
3.17.3 SYSTEM INHIBITORS
1. Battery voltage too high or too low (above 16V,
below 9.5V)
2. Vehicle in gear
3. Vehicle speed > 0 mph/km/h
4. Outside temperature too high, above 143ÉF
(62ÉC) or too low, below -12ÉF (-24ÉC).
5. O/H console lockout will inhibit the B pillar
switches only.
6. Liftgate locked will inhibit all interior switches
from opening (overhead console). A locked lift-
gate can be power closed.
7. Pinch Sensor switch stuck shall inhibit the
power close feature.
3.18 POWER SLIDING DOOR SYSTEM
3.18.1 POWER SLIDING DOOR
The Power Sliding Door (PSD) system is acti-
vated through the use of the following: Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE), overhead console switches, B
pillar switches or the DRBIIIt. These inputs are
hardwired to the body control module (BCM) and
can be monitored with a diagnostic tool. The BCM
will send the message via PCI bus to the power
sliding door module (PSDM). The sliding door must
be in the full open or full closed position to operate.
Once the BCM sends a button activation message to
the PSDM, the module shall read all inputs, out-
puts and vehicle conditions to determine whether it
shall open, close or inhibit the PSD operation.
During an opening or closing cycle, the PSDM can
detect an obstacle present should it meet sufficient
resistance by the hall effect sensors (integrated in
the drive motor).
During an open cycle, multiple door activations
(RKE, overhead console, B pillar) are ignored until
the door reaches the full open position. However,
during a close cycle, a 2nd door activation (RKE,
overhead console, B pillar) will reverse the door to
the full open position.
If the engine is cranked during a power open/close
the PSD will pause then resume after engine crank-
ing. In addition, if the vehicle is placed in gear
during an open cycle, the PSD shall reverse direc-
tion and begin closing. If the vehicle is placed in
gear during a closing cycle, the PSD shall continue
closing until fully closed.
If the inside or outside handle is activated during
an open or close cycle, the PSD will become a full
25
GENERAL INFORMATION

manual sliding door. When the child lock out switch
is on, the B pillar switches are disabled.
There is only one part number for the power
sliding door module (PSDM). The driver sliding
door harness has an additional ground circuit which
will identify it as the driver side. This eliminates
the need for a left and a right side module.
3.18.2 DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES
The PSDM can be flashed on vehicle via PCI bus
with a DRBIIItdiagnostic tool. The DRBIIItcan
read all inputs, actuate all outputs, read module
information, and read diagnostic trouble codes. As a
reminder, some DTC's can be set during normal
PSD operation.
3.18.3 SYSTEM INHIBITORS
1. Battery voltage too high or too low (above 16V,
below 9.5V)
2. Vehicle in gear
3. Vehicle speed > 0 mph/km/h
4. Child locks enabled inhibit the B pillar switch
operation
5. O/H console lockout will inhibit the B pillar
switches
6. Doors locked will inhibit all interior switches
from opening (Overhead Console, B Pillar). A
locked sliding door can be power closed.
3.19 REAR WINDOW DEFOG/HEATED
MIRROR/FRONT WIPER DE-ICE
The defroster button located on the HVAC control
controls the rear window defogger, heated side view
mirrors and front wiper de-icer grid. In addition the
front wiper de-ice function is turned on when front
defog/defrost mode is selected.
When the defroster button is pushed, the HVAC
control sends a bus message over the PCI bus to the
Front Control Module (FCM) which controls the
Rear Window Defogger relay. The defroster LED
will illuminate when the defroster function is on.
The defroster will function for 10 minutes or can be
cycled off sooner by pressing the defroster button
again. The front wiper de-icer grid receives its 12
volts from the accessory relay through fuse 11 and
the HVAC control module supplies the grid ground.
3.20 VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
3.20.1 BASE ALARM SYSTEM
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) is part
of the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM
monitors the vehicle doors, liftgate, hood, and theignition for unauthorized operation. The alarm ac-
tivates by sounding the horn, flashing the head-
lamps and the VTSS indicator lamp. The VTSS does
not prevent engine operation, this is done with the
Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM). Passive
arming occurs in one of two ways. Upon normal
vehicle exit by removing the ignition key, opening
the driver door, locking the doors with the power
lock, and closing the driver door, or by removing the
ignition key, opening the driver door, closing the
driver door, and locking the doors with the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. The VTSS indi-
cator lamp will flash for approximately 15 seconds
during the arming process. If there is no interrup-
tion during the arming process, upon completion
the VTSS indicator lamp will flash at a slower rate.
When the BCM receives an input to trigger the
alarm, the BCM will control the outputs of the
headlamps, horn, and VTSS lamp for approxi-
mately 18 minutes.
Arming (Active and Passive)
Active arming occurs when the RKE transmitter
is used to lock the vehicle doors, whether the doors
are open or closed. The arming process is complete
only after all doors are closed.
Passive arming occurs when the ignition key is
removed, the driver door is opened, and the doors
are locked with the power door lock switch, and the
door is closed.
Disarming (Active and Passive)
Active disarming occurs when the RKE transmit-
ter is used to unlock the vehicle doors. This disarm-
ing will also halt the alarm once it has been acti-
vated.
Passive disarming occurs upon normal vehicle
entry (unlocking driver door with the key). This
disarming will also halt the alarm once it has been
activated.
Tamper Alert
The VTSS tamper alert will sound the horn three
times upon disarming to indicate a tamper condi-
tion has occurred.
Manual Override
The system will not arm if the doors are locked
using the manual lock control or if the locks are
actuated by an inside occupant after the doors are
closed.
Diagnosis
For complaints about the Vehicle Theft Alarm
triggering on its own, use the DRBIIItand read the
Last VTSS Cause status.
