the same time, the power distribution system was
designed to provide ready access to these electrical
distribution points for the vehicle technician to use
when conducting diagnosis and repair of faulty cir-
cuits. The power distribution system can also prove
useful for the sourcing of additional electrical circuits
that may be required to provide the electrical current
needed to operate accessories that the vehicle owner
may choose to have installed in the aftermarket.

CIGAR LIGHTER OUTLET
DESCRIPTION
A cigar lighter outlet is standard equipment on
this model. On models equipped with the optional
Smoker's Package, the cigar lighter knob and heating
element are included. On models without the Smok-
er's Package, the cigar lighter outlet is equipped with
a snap fit plastic cap and is treated as an extra
accessory power outlet. The cigar lighter outlet is
installed in the instrument panel center lower bezel,
which is located near the bottom of the instrument
panel center stack area, below the heater and air
conditioner controls. The cigar lighter outlet is
secured by a snap fit within the center lower bezel.The cigar lighter outlet, plastic cap and the knob
and heating element unit are available for service
replacement. These components cannot be repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, they must be replaced.
OPERATION
The cigar lighter consists of two major components:
a knob and heating element unit, and the cigar
lighter base or outlet shell. The receptacle shell is
connected to ground, and an insulated contact in the
bottom of the shell is connected to battery current.
The cigar lighter receives battery voltage from a fuse
in the junction block when the ignition switch is in
the Accessory or On positions.
The cigar lighter knob and heating element are
encased within a spring-loaded housing, which also
features a sliding protective heat shield. When the
knob and heating element are inserted in the outlet
shell, the heating element resistor coil is grounded
through its housing to the outlet shell. If the cigar
lighter knob is pushed inward, the heat shield slides
up toward the knob exposing the heating element,
and the heating element extends from the housing
toward the insulated contact in the bottom of the
outlet shell.
Two small spring-clip retainers are located on
either side of the insulated contact inside the bottom
of the outlet shell. These clips engage and hold the
heating element against the insulated contact long
enough for the resistor coil to heat up. When the
heating element is engaged with the contact, battery
current can flow through the resistor coil to ground,
causing the resistor coil to heat.
When the resistor coil becomes sufficiently heated,
excess heat radiates from the heating element caus-
ing the spring-clips to expand. Once the spring-clips
expand far enough to release the heating element,
the spring-loaded housing forces the knob and heat-
ing element to pop back outward to their relaxed
position. When the cigar lighter knob and element
are pulled out of the outlet shell, the protective heat
shield slides downward on the housing so that the
heating element is recessed and shielded around its
circumference for safety.

IOD FUSE
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) fuse (Fig. 2) that is removed from its
cavity in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) when
the vehicle is shipped from the factory. Dealer per-sonnel are to remove the IOD fuse from the storage
location and install it into PDC fuse cavity 15 as part

of the preparation procedures performed just prior to
new vehicle delivery.
The PDC has a molded plastic cover that can be
removed to provide service access to all of the fuses
and relays in the PDC. An integral latch and hinges
are molded into the PDC cover for easy removal. A
fuse layout map is integral to the underside of the
PDC cover to ensure proper fuse and relay identifica-
tion. The IOD fuse is a 50 ampere maxi-type car-
tridge fuse and, when removed, it is stored in a spare
fuse cavity within the PDC.
OPERATION
The term ignition-off draw identifies a normal con-
dition where power is being drained from the battery
with the ignition switch in the Off position. The IOD
fuse feeds the memory and sleep mode functions for
some of the electronic modules in the vehicle as well
as various other accessories that require battery cur-
rent when the ignition switch is in the Off position,
including the clock. The only reason the IOD fuse is
removed is to reduce the normal IOD of the vehicle
electrical system during new vehicle transportation
and pre-delivery storage to reduce battery depletion,
while still allowing vehicle operation so that the
vehicle can be loaded, unloaded and moved as needed
by both vehicle transportation company and dealer
personnel.
The IOD fuse is removed from PDC fuse cavity 15
when the vehicle is shipped from the assembly plant.
Dealer personnel must install the IOD fuse when the
vehicle is being prepared for delivery in order to
restore full electrical system operation. Once the
vehicle is prepared for delivery, the IOD function of
this fuse becomes transparent and the fuse that has
been assigned the IOD designation becomes only
another Fused B(+) circuit fuse. The IOD fuse serves
no useful purpose to the dealer technician in the ser-
vice or diagnosis of any vehicle system or condition,
other than the same purpose as that of any other
standard circuit protection device.
The IOD fuse can be used by the vehicle owner as
a convenient means of reducing battery depletion
when a vehicle is to be stored for periods not toexceed about thirty days. However, it must be
remembered that removing the IOD fuse will not
eliminate IOD, but only reduce this normal condition.
If a vehicle will be stored for more than about thirty
days, the battery negative cable should be discon-
nected to eliminate normal IOD; and, the battery
should be tested and recharged at regular intervals
during the vehicle storage period to prevent the bat-
tery from becoming discharged or damaged. Refer to
Battery Systemfor additional service information.
REMOVAL
The Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuses normal installa-
tion location is cavity 15 in the power distribution
center. When the vehicle is shipped from the assem-
bly plant the fuse is removed to maintain proper bat-
tery voltage during vehicle storage (in some cases).
Dealer personnel must install the IOD fuse when the
vehicle is being prepared for customer delivery in
order to restore full electrical system operation.

POWER OUTLET RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The power outlet / cigar lighter relay is an electro-
mechanical device that switches fused battery cur-
rent to the cigar lighter or power outlet when the
ignition switch is turned to the Accessory or On posi-
tions. The power outlet / cigar lighter relay is located
in the junction block, below the driver side of the
instrument panel in the passenger compartment.
The cigar lighter relay is a International Standards
Organization (ISO) relay. Relays conforming to the
ISO specifications have common physical dimensions,
current capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal
functions.

The cigar lighter relay cannot be repaired or
adjusted and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a
resistor or diode, and three (two fixed and one mov-
able) electrical contacts. The movable (common feed)
relay contact is held against one of the fixed contacts
(normally closed) by spring pressure. When the elec-
tromagnetic coil is energized, it draws the movable
contact away from the normally closed fixed contact,
and holds it against the other (normally open) fixed
contact.
When the electromagnetic coil is de-energized,
spring pressure returns the movable contact to the
normally closed position. The resistor or diode is con-
nected in parallel with the electromagnetic coil in the
relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes that are
produced when the coil is de-energized.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER OUTLET
RELAY
The power outlet / cigar lighter relay (Fig. 16) is

DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE
PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCI-
DENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
(1) Remove the power outlet / cigar lighter relay
from the junction block. Refer to the procedure in
this group.
(2) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and
no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (elec-
tromagnet) should be 75 5 ohms. If OK, go to Step
4. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(4) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, perform the Relay Circuit Test that
follows. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - RELAY CIRCUIT TEST
(1) The relay common feed terminal cavity (30) of
the junction block is connected to battery voltage and
should be hot at all times. Check for battery voltage
at the fused B(+) circuit cavity in the junction block
receptacle for the cigar lighter relay. If OK, go to
Step 2. If not OK, repair the fused B(+) circuit to the
Power Distribution Center (PDC) fuse as required.
(2) The relay normally closed terminal (87A) is
connected to terminal 30 in the de-energized position,
but is not used for this application. Go to Step 3.
(3) The relay normally open terminal (87) is con-
nected to the common feed terminal (30) in the ener-
gized position. This terminal supplies battery voltage
to the fused B(+) fuse in the junction block that feeds
the cigar lighter when the relay is energized by the
ignition switch. There should be continuity between
the junction block cavity for relay terminal 87 and
the fused B(+) fuse in the junction block at all times.
If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open fused
B(+) circuit to the junction block fuse as required.
(4) The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. It receives battery
feed to energize the cigar lighter relay when the igni-
tion switch is in the Accessory or On positions. Turn
the ignition switch to the On position. Check for bat-
tery voltage at the fused ignition switch output (acc/
run) circuit cavity for relay terminal 85 in the
junction block receptacle for the cigar lighter relay. If
OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the open fused
ignition switch output (acc/run) circuit to the ignition
switch as required.
(5) The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. The junction block
cavity for this terminal should have continuity to

OIL PRESSURE SENSOR/
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The 3±wire, solid-state engine oil pressure sensor
(sending unit) is located in an engine oil pressure
gallery.
OPERATION
The oil pressure sensor uses three circuits. They are:
²A 5±volt power supply from the Powertrain Con-
trol Module (PCM)
²A sensor ground through the PCM's sensor
return
²
A signal to the PCM relating to engine oil pressure
The oil pressure sensor has a 3±wire electrical
function very much like the Manifold Absolute Pres-
sure (MAP) sensor. Meaning different pressures
relate to different output voltages.
A 5±volt supply is sent to the sensor from the PCM
to power up the sensor. The sensor returns a voltage
signal back to the PCM relating to engine oil pres-
sure. This signal is then transferred (bussed) to the
instrument panel on either a CCD or PCI bus circuit
(depending on vehicle line) to operate the oil pressure
gauge and the check gauges lamp. Ground for the
sensor is provided by the PCM through a low-noise
sensor return.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
(2) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(3) Remove front splash shield.
(4) Disconnect oil pressure sender wire (Fig. 96).
