plete circuit diagrams. Following are general descrip-
tions of the remaining major components in the
factory-installed memory system.
OPERATION
OPERATION - POWER SEAT SYSTEM
The power seat system allows the driver and/or
front passenger seating positions to be adjusted elec-
trically and independently using the separate power
seat switches found on the outboard seat cushion
side shield of each front seat. See the owner's manual
in the vehicle glove box for more information on the
features, use and operation of the power seat system.
OPERATION - MEMORY SYSTEM
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation of
the memory system. For diagnosis of the MSM, the PCI
data bus, or the other electronic modules on the PCI
data bus that provide inputs and outputs for the mem-
ory system, the use of a DRBtscan tool and the proper
Diagnostic Procedures manual are recommended.
DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR MODULES
The Driver Door Module (DDM) monitors the mem-
ory switch through a hard wired circuit. It also mon-
itors the unlock messages from the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) receiver in the Passenger Door Module
(PDM) sent over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus. The DDM is programmed to
send memory recall messages and memory system
status messages over the PCI data bus to the other
electronic modules when it detects a memory recall
request.
Refer toDoor Modulein Electronic Control Mod-
ules for more information on the DDM and PDM.
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
serves as the user interface for the memory system. It
displays memory system status messages and provides
the user with the means for enabling and disabling
the many customer programmable features available
on the vehicle, including those for the memory system.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the EVIC. Refer toElectronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Centerin Overhead Console Systems for more
information on the EVIC.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS & TESTING - POWER SEAT
SYSTEM
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
hard wired components and circuits of the power seat
system. However, if the vehicle is also equipped with
the optional memory system, these tests may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the driver side
power seat. In order to obtain conclusive testing of
the driver side power seat with the memory system
option, the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network and all of the electronic mod-
ules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from
the memory system components must be checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the driver side power seat with the memory
system option requires the use of a DRBtscan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual. The
DRBtscan tool can provide confirmation that the
PCI data bus is functional, that all of the electronic
modules are sending and receiving the proper mes-
sages on the PCI data bus, and that the memory sys-
tem is receiving the proper hard wired inputs and
relaying the proper hard wired outputs to perform its
driver side power seat functions.
Before any testing of the power seat system is
attempted, the battery should be fully-charged and
all of the power seat system wire harness connections
and pins cleaned and tightened to ensure proper cir-
cuit continuity and ground paths. For complete cir-
cuit diagrams, refer toPower Seatin Wiring
Diagrams.
With the dome lamp on, apply the power seat
switch in the direction of the failure. If the dome
lamp dims, the seat may be jamming. Check under
and behind the seat for binding or obstructions. If
the dome lamp does not dim, proceed with testing of
the individual components and circuits.
DIAGNOSIS & TESTING - MEMORY SYSTEM
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
components and circuits that provide hard wired
inputs to the memory system. However, these tests
may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of this sys-
tem. In order to obtain conclusive testing of the
memory system, the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network and all of the elec-
tronic modules that provide inputs to, or receive out-
puts from the memory system components must be
checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the memory system requires the use of a
DRBtscan tool and the proper Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual. The DRBtscan tool can provide con-
firmation that the PCI data bus is functional, that all

POWER SEAT SYSTEM (Continued)
OPERATION
The power lumbar adjuster mechanism includes a
reversible electric motor that is secured to the
inboard side of the seat back panel and is connected
to a worm-drive gearbox. The motor and gearbox
operate the lumbar adjuster mechanism in the center
of the seat back by extending and retracting a cable
that actuates a lever. The action of this lever com-
presses or relaxes a grid of flexible slats. The more
this grid is compressed, the more the slats bow out-
ward against the center of the seat back padding,
providing additional lumbar support.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER LUMBAR
ADJUSTER
Actuate the power lumbar switch to move the
power lumbar adjuster in each direction. The power
lumbar adjuster should move in both directions. It
should be noted that the power lumber adjuster nor-
mally operates very quietly and exhibits little visible
movement. If the power lumbar adjuster fails to oper-
ate in only one direction, move the adjuster a short
distance in the opposite direction and test again to be
certain that the adjuster is not at its travel limit. If
the power lumbar adjuster still fails to operate in
only one direction, refer toDiagnosis and Testing
Power Lumbar Switchin this group. If the power
lumbar adjuster fails to operate in either direction,
perform the following tests. For complete circuit dia-
grams, refer toWiring Diagrams.
(1) Check the power seat circuit breaker in the
junction block. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, replace
the faulty power seat circuit breaker.
(2) Check for battery voltage at the power seat cir-
cuit breaker in the junction block. If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the
fuse in the Power Distribution Center as required.
(3) Remove the outboard seat cushion side shield
from the seat. Disconnect the seat wire harness con-
nector from the power lumbar switch connector
receptacle. Check for battery voltage at the fused
B(+) circuit cavity of the power seat wire harness
connector for the power lumbar switch. If OK, go to
Step 4. If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit
to the power seat circuit breaker in the junction
block as required.
(4) Check for continuity between the ground cir-
cuit cavity of the power seat wire harness connector
for the power lumbar switch and a good ground.
There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 5. If not
OK, repair the open ground circuit to ground as
required.
(5) Test the power lumbar switch. Refer toDiag-
nosis and Testing Power Lumbar Switchin this
group. If the switch tests OK, test the circuits of the
power seat wire harness between the power lumbaradjuster motor and the power lumbar switch for
shorts or opens. If the circuits check OK, replace the
faulty seat back frame assembly. If the circuits are
not OK, repair the power seat wire harness as
required.
MEMORY SET SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the memory system have a
memory switch mounted to the driver side front door
trim panel (Fig. 12). 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 Driver Door Module
(DDM), which is also located on the driver side front
door trim panel. The DDM 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 Diagrams
.

RECLINER MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The ten-way power seat option includes an electri-
cally operated seat back recliner mechanism. The
only visible evidence of this option is the separate
power seat recliner switch control knob that is
located on the outboard seat cushion side shield, just
behind the other power seat switch control knob. The
power seat recliner switch is integral to the ten-way
power seat switch unit, but is actuated with a sepa-
rate switch knob.
The power seat recliner unit is mounted in the
place of a seat hinge on the outboard side of the seat
(Fig. 20). The upper hinge plate of the power seat
recliner mechanism is secured with two screws to the
seat back frame and is concealed beneath the seat
back trim cover and padding. The lower hinge plate
and the motor and drive unit of the power seat
recliner mechanism is secured with two screws to the
seat cushion frame, and is concealed by the outboard
seat cushion side shield.
The power seat recliner cannot be repaired. If the
unit is faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. Refer
toBucket Seat Reclinerin Body for the service
procedure.
OPERATION
The power seat recliner includes a reversible elec-
tric motor that is secured to the lower hinge plate of
the recliner unit. The motor is connected to a gearbox
that moves the upper hinge plate of the power seat
recliner through a screw-type drive unit. The driver
side power seat recliner motor used on models
equipped with the optional memory system also has
a position potentiometer integral to the motor assem-
bly, which electronically monitors the motor position.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - RECLINER MOTOR
Actuate the power seat recliner switch to move the
power seat recliner adjuster in each direction. The
power seat recliner adjuster should move in both
directions. If the power seat recliner adjuster fails to
operate in only one direction, move the adjuster a
short distance in the opposite direction and test
again to be certain that the adjuster is not at its
travel limit. If the power seat recliner adjuster still
fails to operate in only one direction, refer toPower
Seat Switch Diagnosis and Testingin this group.
If the power recliner adjuster fails to operate in
either direction, perform the following tests. For com-
plete circuit diagrams, refer toWiring Diagrams.

repair the power seat wire harness as required.
POWER SEAT TRACK
DESCRIPTION
Both the six-way and the ten-way power seat
options include a single electrically operated power
seat track unit located under each front bucket seat
(Fig. 21). The power seat track unit replaces the
standard equipment manual seat tracks. The lower
half of the power seat track is secured at the front
with two screws to the floor panel seat cross member,
and at the rear with two screws to the floor panel.
Four nuts secure the bottom of the seat cushion
frame to four studs on the upper half of the power
seat track unit.

RECLINER MOTOR (Continued)
OPERATION
The power seat track unit includes three reversible
electric motors that are secured to the upper half of
the track unit. Each motor moves the seat adjuster
through a combination of worm-drive gearboxes and
screw-type drive units. Each of the three driver side
power seat track motors used on models equipped
with the optional memory system also has a position
potentiometer integral to the motor assembly, which
electronically monitors the motor position.
The front and rear of the seat are operated by two
separate vertical adjustment motors. These motors
can be operated independently of each other, tilting
the entire seat assembly forward or rearward; or,
they can be operated in unison by selecting the
proper power seat switch functions, which will raise
or lower the entire seat assembly. The third motor is
the horizontal adjustment motor, which moves the
seat track in the forward and rearward directions.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER SEAT
TRACK
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
hard wired components and circuits of the power seat
system. However, if the vehicle is also equipped with
the optional memory system, these tests may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the driver side
power seat. In order to obtain conclusive testing of
the driver side power seat with the memory system
option, the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network and all of the electronic mod-
ules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from
the memory system components must be checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the driver side power seat with the memory
system option requires the use of a DRBtscan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual. The
DRBtscan tool can provide confirmation that the
PCI data bus is functional, that all of the electronic
modules are sending and receiving the proper mes-
sages on the PCI data bus, and that the memory sys-
tem is receiving the proper hard wired inputs and
relaying the proper hard wired outputs to perform its
driver side power seat functions.Actuate the power seat switch to move all three
power seat track adjusters in each direction. The
power seat track adjusters should move in each of
the selected directions. If a power seat track adjuster
fails to operate in only one direction, move the
adjuster a short distance in the opposite direction
and test again to be certain that the adjuster is not
at its travel limit. If the power seat track adjuster
still fails to operate in only one direction, refer to
Power Seat Switch Diagnosis and Testingin this
group. If the power seat track adjuster fails to oper-
ate in more than one direction, perform the following
tests. For complete circuit diagrams, refer toWiring
Diagrams.
(1) Check the power seat circuit breaker in the
junction block. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, replace
the faulty power seat circuit breaker.
(2) Check for battery voltage at the power seat cir-
cuit breaker in the junction block. If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the
fuse in the Power Distribution Center as required.
(3) Remove the outboard seat cushion side shield
from the seat. Disconnect the seat wire harness con-
nector from the power seat switch connector recepta-

POWER WINDOWS
DESCRIPTION
Power operated driver side and passenger side
front and rear door windows are standard factory-in-
stalled equipment on this model. The power window
system allows each of the door windows to be raised
or lowered electrically by operating a switch on the
trim panel for that door. Additionally, the master
switches on the driver side front door trim panel
allow all of the windows to be operated from the
driver seat position. A power window lockout switch
on the driver side front door trim panel will allow the
driver to disable all of the passenger door window
switches.
The power window system functionally operates
when the ignition switch is in the On position. How-
ever, a unique feature of this system will allow the
power windows to be operated for up to forty-five sec-
onds after the ignition switch is turned to the Off
position, or until a front door is opened, whichever
occurs first.
An auto-down feature allows the driver side front
door window to be lowered all the way, even if the
window switch is released. The driver side front door
window switch must be depressed in the down direc-
tion to a second detent to begin an auto-down event.
Depressing the switch again in any direction cancel
the auto-down event and begin movement in the
direction specified.
This group covers the following components of the
power window system:
²Power window switches
²Power window motors.
Certain functions and features of the power win-
dow system rely upon resources shared with other
electronic modules in the vehicle over the Program-mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus net-
work. The PCI data bus network allows the sharing
of sensor information. This helps to reduce wire har-
ness complexity, internal controller hardware, and
component sensor current loads. At the same time,
this system provides increased reliability, enhanced
diagnostics, and allows the addition of many new fea-
ture capabilities. For diagnosis of these electronic
modules or of the PCI data bus network, the use of a
DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures
manual are recommended.
The other electronic modules that may affect power
window system operation are as follows:
²Body Control Module (BCM)- (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/BODY CONTROL/CENTRAL TIMER MODUL
- DESCRIPTION) for more information.
²Driver Door Module (DDM)-(Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/DRIVER DOOR MODULE - DESCRIPTION)
for more information.
²Passenger Door Module (PDM)- (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/DRIVER DOOR MODULE - DESCRIPTION)
for more information.
This group covers diagnosis and service of only the
electrical components in the power window system.
For service of mechanical components, such as the
regulator, lift plate, window tracks, or glass refer to
Body. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
The wiring information includes wiring diagrams,
proper wire and connector repair procedures, details
of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-
out information and location views for the various
wire harness connectors, splices and grounds. Follow-
ing are general descriptions of the major components
in the power window system.
WJPOWER WINDOWS 8N - 33
OPERATION
The power window system includes the Driver
Door Module (DDM) and Passenger Door Module
(PDM), which are mounted in their respective front
door, the rear door power window switches mounted
on the rear doors, and the power window motors
mounted to the window regulator in each door. The
DDM houses four master power window switches, the
power window lockout switch and the control logic for
the driver side front and rear door power windows.
The PDM houses the passenger side front door power
window switch and the control logic for the passenger
side front and rear door power windows.
When a master power window switch on the DDM
is used to operate a passenger side power window,
the DDM sends the window switch actuation mes-
sage to the PDM over the Programmable Communi-
cations Interface (PCI) data bus. The PDM responds
to these messages by sending control outputs to move
the passenger side power window motors. In addi-
tion, when the power window lockout switch in the
DDM is actuated to disable power window operation,
a lockout message is sent to the PDM over the PCI
data bus.
The Body Control Module (BCM) also supports and
controls certain features of the power window sys-
tem. The BCM receives a hard wired input from the
ignition switch. The programming in the BCM allows
it to process the information from this input and
send ignition switch status messages to the DDM
and the PDM over the PCI data bus. The DDM and
PDM use this information and hard wired inputs
from the front door ajar switches to control the light-
ing of the power window switch lamps, and to control
the operation of the power window after ignition-off
feature.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the power window system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER
WINDOWS
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
hard wired components and circuits of the power
window system. However, these tests may not prove
conclusive in the diagnosis of this system. In order to
obtain conclusive testing of the power window sys-
tem, the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network and all of the electronic mod-
ules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from
the power window system components must be
checked.The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the power window system requires the use
of a DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual. The DRB scan tool can provide confir-
mation that the PCI data bus is functional, that all
of the electronic modules are sending and receiving
the proper messages on the PCI data bus, and that
the power window motors are being sent the proper
hard wired outputs by the door modules for them to
perform their power window system functions.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appro-
priate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector
repair procedures, details of wire harness routing
and retention, connector pin-out information and
location views for the various wire harness connec-
tors, splices and grounds.
ALL WINDOWS INOPERATIVE
(1) Check the operation of the power lock switch
on the driver side front door. If all of the doors lock
and unlock, but none of the power windows operate,

for continuity between the rear window driver up cir-
cuit cavity of the 15-way door wire harness connector
for the door module and a good ground. Repeat the
check for the rear window driver down circuit. In
each case there should be no continuity. If OK, go to
Step 11. If not OK, repair the shorted rear window
driver up or down circuit as required.
(11) Check for continuity between the rear window
driver up circuit cavities of the 15-way door wire har-
ness connector for the door module and the power
window motor wire harness connector. Repeat the
check for the rear window driver down circuit. In
each case there should be continuity. If OK, go to
Step 12. If not OK, repair the open rear window
driver up or down circuit as required.
NOTE: The door module feeds battery current to
both terminals of the rear door power window
motors when the power window lockout switch is in
the Unlock position, until the master window switch
on the driver side front door is actuated. The door
module feeds ground to both terminals of the rear
door power window motor when the power window
lockout switch is in the Lock position, until the
master window switch on the driver side front door
is actuated.
(12) Reconnect the 15-way door wire harness con-
nector for the door module to the door module con-
nector receptacle. Connect the battery negative cable.
Check for battery voltage at each cavity in the door
wire harness connector for the power window motor.
Each cavity should have battery voltage when the
power window switch is in the neutral position. Each
cavity should also have battery voltage in one other
switch position, either up or down, and zero volts
with the switch in the opposite position. If OK, (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER WINDOWS/WINDOW
MOTOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If not OK,
replace the faulty door module.POWER WINDOW SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The power window motors are controlled by a two-
way momentary switch mounted on the trim panel of
each passenger door, and four two-way momentary
switches on the driver side front door trim panel. The
driver side front door trim panel also has a two-posi-
tion power window lockout switch. Each power win-
dow switch, except the lockout switch, is illuminated
by a Light-Emitting Diode (LED) that is integral to
the switch paddle.
The front door power window switches and the
power window lockout switch are integral to the
Driver Door Module (DDM) and Passenger Door
Module (PDM). The front door power window
switches and their lamps cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire DDM
or PDM unit must be replaced. The rear door power
window switches and their lamps cannot be adjusted
or repaired but, if faulty or damaged, only the
affected rear door power window switch must be
replaced. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
CONTROL MODULES/DRIVER DOOR MODULE -
REMOVAL).
OPERATION
The front door power window switches provide an
up or down (or lock and unlock signal in the case of
the lockout switch) to the door module circuitry. The
Driver Door Module (DDM) circuitry controls the out-
put to the driver side front and rear door power win-
dow motors, and supplies electrical current as
required for the stand-alone operation of the driver
side rear door power window switch. The Passenger
Door Module (PDM) circuitry controls the output to
the passenger side front and rear door power window
motors, and supplies electrical current as required
for the stand-alone operation of the passenger side
rear door power window switch.
When a DDM-integrated master power window
switch for a passenger side window is actuated, or
when the power window lockout switch is actuated to
disable the passenger door power windows, the DDM
circuitry sends a message to the PDM over the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus
to control the output to that power window motor(s).
The power window switch for the driver side front
door power window has two detent positions in the
Down direction. The first detent provides normal
power window down operation. If this switch is
depressed to the second detent, the Auto Down cir-
cuitry of the DDM is activated. The Auto-Down cir-
cuitry will automatically move the driver side front
door window to its fully lowered position, even if the
power window switch is released. The Auto-Down
