MEMORY SET SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the memory system have a
memory switch mounted to the driver side front door
trim panel (Fig. 5). This switch is used to set and
recall all of the memory system settings for up to two
drivers. The memory switch is a resistor multiplexed
unit that is hard wired to the Body Control Module
(BCM). The BCM sends out the memory system set
and recall requests to the other electronic modules
over the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus.
The memory switch cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. For
complete circuit diagrams, refer toWiring Dia-
grams.
OPERATION
The memory switch has three momentary switch
buttons labeled Set, 1 and 2. The Driver 1 and Driver
2 buttons are back-lit with Light-Emitting Diodes
(LED) for visibility. When the memory set switch is
depressed, a resistance value is sent to the Body
Control Module via hard wired connections. When
the memory system is in ªsetº mode a chime will be
generated by the body control module.

SPEED CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
The speed control system is electronically con-
trolled and vacuum operated. The electronic control
is integrated into the Powertrain Control Module.
The controls are located on the steering wheel. The
ON/OFF, and SET buttons are located on the left side
of the airbag module. The RESUME/ACCEL, CAN-
CEL and COAST buttons are located on the right
side of the airbag module (Fig. 1).The system is designed to operate at speeds above
30 mph (48 km/h).
WARNING: THE USE OF SPEED CONTROL IS NOT
RECOMMENDED WHEN DRIVING CONDITIONS DO
NOT PERMIT MAINTAINING A CONSTANT SPEED,
SUCH AS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON ROADS THAT
ARE WINDING, ICY, SNOW COVERED, OR SLIP-
PERY.
OPERATION
OPERATION
When speed control is activated by depressing the
ON switch, the PCM allows a set speed to be stored
in RAM for speed control. To store a set speed,
depress and release the SET switch while the vehicle
is moving at a speed between 25 and 85 mph. In
order for the speed control to engage, the brakes can-
not be applied, nor can the gear selector be indicat-
ing the transmission is in Park or Neutral. The speed
control can be disengaged manually by:
²Stepping on the brake pedal
²Depressing the OFF switch
²Depressing the CANCEL switch.
²Depressing the clutch pedal

SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
There are two separate switch pods that operate
the speed control system and are located on the
steering wheel.
OPERATION
The speed control system has five separate resis-
tive switches that provide a single multiplexed
(MUX) voltage inputs to the PCM.The switch names
are: ON, OFF, SET, COAST, RESUME, ACCEL, TAP-
UP, COAST, and CANCEL. Based on conditions when
the buttons are pushed (and released), the five volt-
ages ranges provided to the PCM result in the follow-
ing functions: ON, OFF, SET, COAST, RESUME,
ACCEL, TAP-UP, TAP-DOWN, COAST, and CAN-
CEL. Refer to the Speed Control Section for more
information
Also the PCM receives an input from the brake
switch to sense whether the brake pedal has been
depressed. When the PCM receives the brake
depressed input, it turns off power to the speed con-
trol servo and disengages speed control. Also the
power to the servo is supplied through the brake
switch, which opens the circuit when the brake pedal
is depressed.
The individual switches cannot be repaired. If one
switch fails, the entire switch module must be
replaced.
REMOVAL
The speed control switches are mounted in the
steering wheel and wired through the clock spring
device under the airbag module.
WARNING: IF REMOVAL OF AIRBAG MODULE IS
NECESSARY, REFER TO THE RESTRAINT SYS-
TEMS SECTION FOR MORE INFORMATION.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - A/C COOL DOWN
TEST
The heater-A/C control module can perform an A/C
cool down test, which is a test performed during the
manufacturing process to confirm that the air condi-
tioning system is performing satisfactorily. This test
can also provide a quick confirmation of air condi-
tioning system performance to the service technician.
If the test is completed satisfactorily, no further ser-
vice is required. If the test is failed, proceed to the
A/C Performance Test to confirm the a/c system is
operating properly, or use a DRBIIItscan tool to
diagnose the A/C system control and distribution sys-
tems. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic informa-
tion.
MANUAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The front blower speed and rear blower speed (if
equipped with rear HVAC) must be set to High and
the evaporator temperature sensor must be greater
than 55É F or the test will fail immediately. The test
is activated by depressing the A/C and PWR buttons
simultaneously and holding them depressed for no
less than five seconds. The PWR and A/C LEDs will
blink on and off until the test is complete. If the
LEDs stop blinking before two minutes, then the cool
down test has been completed successfully. If the two
minutes expire without the expansion valve temper-
ature reaching 20É F less than the outside air tem-
perature, then the cool down test has been failed and
further A/C system diagnosis is required. If the test
is failed, the LEDs will continue to blink until the
vehicle has been driven for greater than (8 miles).
AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The ambient air temperature in the room where
the vehicle will be tested must be a minimum of 21É
C (70ÉF) for this test. The test is activated by
depressing the A/C and PWR buttons simultaneously
and holding them depressed for no less than four sec-
onds. The snowflake icon and the DELAY text in the
ATC display will blink on and off alternately until
the test is complete. If the snowflake icon and the
DELAY text stop blinking before two minutes, then
the cool down test has been completed successfully. If
the two minutes expire without the evaporator tem-perature reaching 20É F less than the evaporator ini-
tial temperature, then the cool down test has been
failed and further A/C system diagnosis is required.
If the test is failed, the snowflake icon and the
DELAY text will continue to blink across ignition
cycles until the vehicle has been driven for greater
than (8 miles).
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - A/C
PERFORMANCE TEST
An air conditioning performance test is the best
way to determine whether the system is performing
up to standard. This test also provides valuable clues
as to the possible cause of trouble with the air con-
ditioning system. The ambient air temperature in the
location where the vehicle will be tested must be a
minimum of 21É C (70ÉF) for this test.
WARNING: REFER TO THE APPLICABLE WARN-
INGS AND CAUTIONS FOR THIS SYSTEM BEFORE
PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING OPERATION.
(Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
PLUMBING - FRONT - WARNING - A/C PLUMBING)
and (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
PLUMBING - FRONT - CAUTION - A/C PLUMBING).
NOTE: When connecting the service equipment
coupling to the line fitting, verify that the valve of
the coupling is fully closed. This will reduce the
amount of effort required to make the connection.
(1) Connect a tachometer to monitor the engine
speed.
(2) Remove the caps from the refrigerant system
service ports and attach a manifold gauge set to
monitor the refrigerant system pressures.
(3) Set the heater-air conditioner controls so that
the compressor is engaged, the air within the vehicle
is being recirculated, the output air is directed
through the panel outlets, the temperature control is
in the full cool position, and the blower motor is oper-
ating at its highest speed.
(4) Start the engine and allow the engine to oper-
ate for about five minutes or until it reaches normal
operating temperature. Then hold the engine speed
at 1000 rpm with the compressor clutch engaged. If
the compressor clutch does not engage, proceed with
diagnosis of the compressor clutch coil. (Refer to 24 -
HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/CONTROLS -
FRONT/COMPRESSOR CLUTCH COIL - DIAGNO-
SIS AND TESTING).
(5) Close all the vehicle windows and doors.
(6) Insert a thermometer in the left center panel
outlet and operate the engine for five minutes.
