SPEED CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
The speed control system is electronically con-
trolled and vacuum operated. Electronic control of
the speed control system is integrated into the Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM). The controls consist
of two steering wheel mounted switches. The
switches are labeled: ON/OFF, RES/ACCEL, SET,
COAST, and CANCEL.
The system is designed to operate at speeds above
30 mph (50 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
When speed control is selected by depressing the
ON switch, the PCM allows a set speed to be stored
in PCM RAM for speed control. To store a set speed,
depress the SET switch while the vehicle is moving
at a speed between 35 and 85 mph. In order for the
speed control to engage, the brakes cannot be
applied, nor can the gear selector be indicating 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 (if equipped).
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch or turning off the
ignition switch will erase the set speed stored in
the PCM.
For added safety, the speed control system is pro-
grammed to disengage for any of the following condi-
tions:
²An indication of Park or Neutral
²A rapid increase rpm (indicates that the clutch
has been disengaged)
²Excessive engine rpm (indicates that the trans-
mission may be in a low gear)
²The speed signal increases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the coefficient of friction
between the road surface and tires is extremely low)

OPERATION
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) indica-
tor gives a visible indication of the VTSS arming sta-
tus. One side of Light-Emittiong Diode (LED) in the
VTSS indicator is connected to unswitched battery
current through a fused B(+) circuit and a fuse in the
Junction Block (JB). The other side of the LED is
hard wired to the Body Control Module (BCM), which
controls the operation of the VTSS indicator by pull-
ing this side of the LED circuit to ground. When the
VTSS arming is in progress, the BCM will flash the
LED rapidly on and off for about fifteen seconds.
When the VTSS has been successfully armed, the
BCM will flash the LED on and off continually at a
much slower rate until the VTSS has been disarmed.
The VTSS indicator can be diagnosed using conven-
tional diagnostic tools and methods.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - VTSS INDICATOR
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative
Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) indicator con-
dition. If the problem being diagnosed is related to
indicator accuracy, be certain to confirm that the
problem is with the indicator and not with an inop-
erative VTSS. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE
THEFT SECURITY - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING -
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM). If no VTSS
problem is found, the following procedure will help to
locate a short or open in the VTSS indicator control
circuit. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

(1) Check the fused B(+) fuse in the Junction
Block (JB). If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the
shorted circuit or component and replace the faulty
fuse.
(2) Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) fuse
in the JB. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the
open fused B(+) circuit between the JB and the
Power Distribution Center (PDC).
(3) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector for the automatic headlamp light sensor/
VTSS indicator from the automatic headlamp light
sensor/VTSS indicator pigtail wire connector. Recon-
nect the battery negative cable. Check for battery
voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of the instru-
ment panel wire harness connector for the automatic
headlamp light sensor/VTSS indicator. If OK, go to
Step 4. If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit
between the VTSS indicator and the JB.
(4) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector for the JB from the JB connector recepta-
cle. Check for continuity between the VTSS indicator
driver circuit cavity of the instrument panel wire
harness connector for the automatic headlamp light
sensor/VTSS indicator and a good ground. There
should be no continuity. If OK, go to Step 5. If not
OK, repair the shorted VTSS indicator driver circuit
between the VTSS indicator and the JB.
(5) Check for continuity between the VTSS indica-
tor driver circuit of the instrument panel wire har-
ness connector for the automatic headlamp light
sensor/VTSS indicator and the instrument panel wire
harness connector for the JB. There should be conti-
nuity. If OK, replace the faulty VTSS indicator. If not
OK, repair the open VTSS indicator driver circuit
between the VTSS indicator and the JB.

stalk is moved to the rear Wash position, the Wash
position circuitry within the switch directs battery
current to the rear washer pump/motor unit, and to
both the rear wiper motor control and rear washer
switch output signal inputs of the rear wiper module
electronic circuitry, which causes the wiper motor to
run at a fixed cycle for as long as the Wash mode is
selected plus about three additional fixed wipe cycles.
The rear wiper module electronic circuitry controls
the switching of battery current to the rear wiper
motor brush, which controls wiper motor operation.
The intermittent wipe and wipe-after-wash features
of the rear wiper and washer system are both pro-
vided by the rear wiper module electronic circuitry.
The rear wiper module electronic circuitry also mon-
itors the liftgate flip-up glass ajar switch and will
park the rear wiper blade off of the glass any time it
senses that the liftgate flip-up glass is ajar, the igni-
tion switch is turned to the Off position, or the right
multi-function switch control sleeve is moved to the
Off position. This feature ensures that the rear wiper
blade will not interfere with or be damaged by the
operation of the liftgate flip-up glass. However, if the
ignition switch is turned to the Off position or the
liftgate flip-up glass is opened while the rear wiper is
operating, the right multi-function switch control
sleeve must be cycled to the Off position and back to
the On or Delay position after the ignition switch is
turned back On or the liftgate flip-up glass is closed
before the rear wiper will operate again.
Refer to the owner's manual in the vehicle glove
box for more information on the features and opera-
tion of the rear wiper and washer system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REAR WIPER &
WASHER SYSTEM
WIPER SYSTEM
The diagnosis found here addresses an electrically
inoperative rear wiper system. If the rear wiper
motor operates, but the wiper does not move on the
liftgate glass, replace the faulty rear wiper module. If
the wiper operates, but chatters, lifts, or does not
clear the glass, clean and inspect the wiper system
components as required. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
REAR WIPERS/WASHERS - INSPECTION) and
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/REAR WIPERS/WASH-
ERS - CLEANING). Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. The wiring information includes wiring
diagrams, proper wire and connector repair proce-
dures, details of wire harness routing and retention,
connector pin-out information and location views for
the various wire harness connectors, splices and
grounds.WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-

(1) Check that the interior lighting switch on the
control stalk of the left multi-function switch is not
in the dome lamp disable position. With all four
doors and the liftgate closed, open the liftgate flip-up
glass. The interior lamps should light. If not, depress
the cargo lamp lens to actuate the cargo lamp defeat
switch and the interior lamps should light. Close all
four doors, the liftgate and the liftgate flip-up glass.

motor that is secured with screws to the wiper motor
and to the liftgate inner panel.
²Electronic Controls- The rear wiper module
electronic controls include the rear wiper system
electronic logic and rear wiper motor electronic con-
trols. The electronic controls for the motor include an
electronic speed control that speeds the wiper blade
near the center of the glass, but slows the wiper
blade during directional reversals at each end of the
wipe pattern and during wiper blade off-the-glass
parking for quieter operation.
²Motor- The permanent magnet rear wiper
motor is secured with screws to the rear wiper mod-
ule bracket. The wiper motor includes an integral
transmission, and the motor output shaft.
The rear wiper module cannot be adjusted or
repaired. If any component of the module is faulty or
damaged, the entire rear wiper module unit must be
replaced. The motor output shaft gasket, bezel, nut,
and nut cover are available for service replacement.
OPERATION
The rear wiper module receives non-switched bat-
tery current through a fuse in the Junction Block
(JB) and is grounded at all times. The rear wiper
module operation is controlled by the vehicle operator
through battery current signal inputs received by the
rear wiper module electronic controls from the right
multi-function switch on the steering column. The
module also receives an external control input from
the liftgate flip-up glass ajar switch circuit. The rear
wiper module electronic control logic uses these
inputs, its internal inputs, and its programming to
provide continuous wipe, delay wipe, wipe-after-wash
and off-the-glass wiper blade parking. The wiper
blade cycling is controlled by the rear wiper module
electronic controls, which control current flow to the
wiper motor brushes. The wiper motor transmission
converts the rotary output of the wiper motor to the
back and forth wiping motion of the rear wiper arm
and blade on the liftgate glass.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the rear wiper arm from the rear
wiper motor output shaft. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/REAR WIPERS/WASHERS/REAR WIPER ARM
- REMOVAL).
(3) Use a door trim panel removal tool to gently
pry at the base of the nut cover where it meets the
wiper motor output shaft bezel and gasket on the
outer liftgate panel until it unsnaps from the bezel
(Fig. 13). Be certain to use proper caution to protect
the outer liftgate panel and its paint finish from
damage during this procedure.(4) Remove the nut that secures the rear wiper
motor output shaft to the outer liftgate panel.
(5) Remove the bezel and gasket from the rear
wiper motor output shaft.
(6) Remove the trim panel from the inside of the
liftgate. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DECKLID/HATCH/
LIFTGATE/TAILGATE/TRIM PANEL - REMOVAL).

DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND
INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual
sections. If a component is most likely found in a par-
ticular group, it will be shown complete (all wires,
connectors, and pins) within that group. For exam-
ple, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be
found in Group 30, so it is shown there complete. It
can, however, be shown partially in another group if
it contains some associated wiring.
Splice diagrams in Section 8W-70 show the entire
splice and provide references to other sections the
splices serves. Section 8W-70 only contains splice dia-
grams that are not shown in their entirety some-
where else in the wiring diagrams.
Section 8W-80 shows each connector and the cir-
cuits involved with that connector. The connectors
are identified using the name/number on the dia-
gram pages.

POWER OUTLET
DESCRIPTION - FRONT POWER OUTLET
An accessory power outlet is standard equipment
on this model. The power 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 power outlet base is secured by a snap fit within
the center lower bezel. A hinged door with an over-
center spring flips closed to conceal and protect the
power outlet base when the power outlet is not being
used, and flips open below the center lower bezel
while the power outlet is in use.
The power outlet receptacle unit and the power
outlet door are each available for service replace-
ment.
OPERATION - FRONT POWER OUTLET
The power outlet base or receptacle shell is con-
nected to ground, and an insulated contact in the
bottom of the shell is connected to battery current.
The power outlet receives battery voltage from a fuse
in the junction block at all times.
While the power outlet is very similar to a cigar
lighter base unit, it does not include the two small
spring-clip retainers inside the bottom of the recepta-
cle shell that are used to secure the cigar lighter
heating element to the insulated contact.
