RED BRAKE WARNING
INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
The red BRAKE warning indicator (lamp) is
located in the instrument panel cluster and is used to
indicate a low brake fluid condition or that the park-
ing brake is applied. In addition, the brake warning
indicator is turned on as a bulb check by the ignition
switch every time the ignition switch is placed in the
crank position.
OPERATION
The red BRAKE warning indicator (lamp) is sup-
plied a 12-volt ignition feed anytime the ignition
switch is on. The bulb is then illuminated by com-
pleting the ground circuit either through the switch
on the parking brake lever, the brake fluid level
switch in the master cylinder reservoir, or the igni-
tion switch when it is placed in the crank position.

sage transmitted by the BCM to the FCM to turn off
the headlamps.
OPERATION
AUTOMATIC HEADLAMP SYSTEM
Automatic headlamps are controlled by the Body Con-
trol Module (BCM). With the headlamp switch in the
AUTO position, the BCM will control the headlamp, park-
ing, side marker, tail and instrumentation lamps based on
ambient light levels. Ambient light levels are monitored
by the BCM using the Day/Night signal and Electrochro-
matic Mirror (ECM) present from the Compass Mini Trip
(CMTC) located on the front windshield in front of the
rear view mirror ECM. Ambient light readings are aver-
aged to limit cycling the lamps ON and OFF when pass-
ing through areas with varying light levels. The
automatic headlamps will only function when the engine
is running with RPM > 450. When the headlamp switch is
in the AUTO position (Automatic mode), the Headlamp
Time Delay system will function when the ignition switch
is placed in any position other than run/start.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
Power is reduced using pulse-width modulation to
the high beams, where by the power is switched on
and off rapidly instead of remaining on continuously.
The duration and interval of the power pulses is pro-
grammed into the FCM.
HEADLAMP SYSTEM
The headlamp system will default to headlamps
ON position when ignition switch is ON and when an
open or short circuit failure occurs on the headlamp
switch input. The system will return to normal oper-
ation when the open or short is repaired. A fault will
be reported by the BCM when a failure occurs on the
dimmer or headlamp switch input.
If the exterior lamps are ON and the headlamp
switch is in any position other than OFF or AUTO
and with the ignition switch OFF (LOCK) after 3
minutes the BCM sends a message via PCI bus to
the FCM informing the FCM to turn off the head-
lamps, park lamps and fog lamps. This feature pre-
vents the vehicle battery from being discharged when
the vehicle lights have been left ON.
HEADLAMP TIME DELAY SYSTEM
The headlamp time delay system is activated by
turning the headlamps ON (high or low beam) while
the engine is running, turning the ignition switch
OFF, and then turning the headlamp switch OFF
within 45 seconds. The system will not activate if
more than 45 seconds elapse between ignition switch
OFF and headlamp switch OFF. The BCM will allow
the headlamps to remain ON for 90 seconds (config-urable) before they automatically turn off (If the key
is in the ignition during the headlamp time delay
mode, then both the headlamps and park lamps
(including panel dimming) will be ON). Refer to the
Owner's Manual for more information.
If the headlamp switch is in the Auto Headlamp
Position, the headlamps are ON due to the night sig-
nal from the CMTC and the ignition switch is in any
position other than run/start, the BCM shall enter a
90 second (configurable) Auto Headlamps time delay
mode. If the key is in the ignition during the head-
lamp time delay mode, then both the headlamps and
park lamps (including panel dimming) will be ON. If
the key is not in the ignition, then only the head-
lamps will be ON. The BCM will allow the head-
lamps to remain ON for 90 seconds before they
automatically turn OFF. Refer to the Owner's Man-
ual for more information.
OPTICAL HORN/HIGH BEAMS
When the multi-function switch is pulled to the
first detent (optical horn) signal, the headlamps are
ON, key-in the ignition the BCM shall send a mes-
sage via PCI bus to the FCM to turn on the head-
lamps drivers to illuminate all four filaments (Low
and High beams). When the multi-function switch is
pulled to the second detent (high beam) signal and
the headlamps are ON, the BCM shall send a mes-
sage via PCI bus to the FCM to turn on the head-
lamps drivers. The High Beams are illuminated and
the Low Beams and Fog Lamps (if ON) are extin-
guished. If the headlamps were in the high beam
configuration when power was removed from the
headlamps, the headlamps will be configured as low
beam the next time they are activated.
WARNING
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION SHOULD BE USED
WHEN SERVICING GLASS COMPONENTS. PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
CAUTION: Do not touch the glass of halogen bulbs
with fingers or other possibly oily surface, reduced
bulb life will result. Do not use bulbs other than
those indicated in the Bulb Application table. Dam-
age to lamp and/or Daytime Running Lamp Module
can result. Do not use fuses, circuit breakers or
relays having greater amperage value than indi-
cated on the fuse panel or in the Owners Manual.
CAUTION: Do not use bulbs other than those listed
in the Bulb Application Table. Damage to lamp can
result. Do not touch halogen bulbs with fingers or
other oily surfaces. Bulb life will be reduced.

lamp leveling system. This system allows the driver
to adjust the vertical headlamp aim from the interior
of the vehicle to compensate for passenger or cargo
load.
The headlamp leveling switch is located next to the
headlamp switch on the instrument panel (Fig. 15).
If the headlamp leveling switch is faulty or damaged,
the headlamp switch must be replaced.

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The RKE module is capable of retaining up to four
different Vehicle Access Codes.
OPERATION
Whenever the vehicle battery power is interrupted
the RKE Module will retain all vehicle access codes
in its memory. When replacing or adding a key fob
transmitter (maximum 4) a DRB IIItscan tool is
required to program the RKE Module to accept the
new Vehicle Access Code if a customer owned trans-
mitter is not available. Refer to Electrical, Remote
Keyless Entry Module, Standard Procedure - Pro-
gramming RKE Module or the Proper Body Diagnos-
tic Procedures manual.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REMOTE KEYLESS
ENTRY MODULE
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire har-
ness connectors, splices and grounds. Refer to the
proper Body Diagnostic Procedures Manual for test-
ing the Remote Keyless Entry system using a DRB
IIItscan tool. Also refer to other interrelated sys-
tems groups within this manual:
²Vehicle Theft Security System
²Power Seats
²Power Mirrors
STANDARD PROCEDURE - PROGRAMMING
RKE MODULE
(1) Using a functional key fob transmitter, unlock
the vehicle and disarm the Vehicle Theft Security
System.
(2) Insert ignition key into the ignition switch.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to RUN position with-
out starting engine.
(4) Using a functional key fob transmitter, press
and hold the UNLOCK button for a minimum five
seconds (maximum ten seconds).
(5) While still holding UNLOCK button, and
before ten seconds passes, press the PANIC button
and release both at the same time. A single chime
will sound to verify that the RKE module is set to
receive the new Vehicle Access Code(s).
(6) Within 30 seconds of the chime, press and
release the ªLOCKº and ªUNLOCKº buttons on the
transmitter at the same time. Then press and release
any one of the buttons. The BCM will sound anabbreviated chime to acknowledge that the program-
ming of the transmitter has been completed and was
successful.
(7) Repeat step 6 for all transmitters that will be
used with this vehicle (up to 4 total).
(8) Programming mode will last for 30 seconds. To
get out of programming mode sooner, turn the igni-
tion OFF. A single chime will sound to verify that the
RKE module will no longer accept additional Vehicle
Access Code(s).
(9) When Vehicle Access Code(s) programming is
complete, turn the ignition switch to the OFF posi-
tion and verify RKE system operation using each key
fob.
NOTE:
Only the two key fob transmitters that have been
programmed to the memory seat and mirror system
will operate it. If any key fob is replaced, the mem-
ory seat and mirror module will require program-
ming. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER SEATS -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove instrument panel top cover (Refer to
