LEFT MULTI-FUNCTION
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The left multi-function switch, its mounting provi-
sions, and its electrical connections are all concealed
beneath the steering column shrouds, just below the
steering wheel (Fig. 22).
A single connector with eleven terminal pins is
located on the back of the switch housing and con-
nects the switch to the vehicle electrical system. The
left multi-function switch supports the following exte-
rior lighting functions:
²Auto Headlamps
²Front Fog Lamps
²Hazard Warning Control
²Headlamps
²Headlamp Beam Selection
²Headlamp Optical Horn
²Park Lamps
²Rear Fog Lamps
²Turn Signal Control
The left multi-function switch also supports the fol-
lowing interior lighting functions:
²Panel Lamps Dimming
²Interior Lamps Defeat²Interior Lamps On
²Parade Mode
The left multi-function switch cannot be adjusted
or repaired. If any function of the switch is faulty, or
if the switch is damaged, the entire switch unit must
be replaced.
OPERATION
The left multi-function switch uses a combination
of resistor multiplexed and conventionally switched
outputs to control the many functions and features it
provides using a minimal number of hard wired cir-
cuits. The switch is grounded to the chassis beneath
the center floor console, just forward of the Airbag
Control Module (ACM). Following are descriptions of
the how the left multi-function switch operates to
control the many exterior lighting functions and fea-
tures it provides:
²Auto Headlamps- The automatic headlamps
feature is provided by the Body Control Module
(BCM), which monitors an input from a photodiode
sensor located on the top of the instrument panel to
detect ambient light levels whenever the ignition
switch is in the On position. Based upon the multi-
plexed input from the left multi-function switch and
the input of the photodiode sensor, the BCM controls
outputs to the park lamp and headlamp relays to
illuminate or extinguish all exterior lighting.
²Front Fog Lamps- The Body Control Module
(BCM) monitors the left multi-function switch then,
based upon that switched ground input, controls an
output to the front fog lamp relay to illuminate or
extinguish the front fog lamps.

²Hazard Warning Control- The hazard warn-
ing push button is pressed down to activate the haz-
ard warning system, and pressed down again to turn
the system off. The left multi-function switch pro-
vides a ground to the hazard warning sense input of
the combination flasher to control activation of the
hazard warning lamps.
²Headlamps- The Body Control Module (BCM)
monitors the left multi-function switch then, based
upon that multiplexed input, controls an output to
the headlamp low or high beam relays to illuminate
or extinguish the headlamps.
²Headlamp Beam Selection- The Body Control
Module (BCM) monitors the left multi-function
switch then, based upon that switched ground input,
controls an output to the headlamp low or high beam
relays to activate the selected headlamp beam.
²Headlamp Optical Horn- The Body Control
Module (BCM) monitors the left multi-function
switch then, based upon that switched ground input,
controls an output to the headlamp high beam relay
to activate the headlamp high beams.
²Park Lamps- The Body Control Module (BCM)
monitors the left multi-function switch then, based
upon that multiplexed input, controls an output to
the park lamp relay to illuminate or extinguish the
parking lamps.
²Rear Fog Lamps- The Body Control Module
(BCM) monitors the left multi-function switch then,
based upon that multiplexed input, controls an out-
put to the rear fog lamp relay to illuminate or extin-
guish the rear fog lamps.
²Turn Signal Control- The left multi-function
switch control stalk actuates the turn signal switch.
The Body Control Module (BCM) monitors the left
multi-function switch then, based upon that multi-
plexed input, provides a variable voltage output to
control the lighting of the turn signals.
Following are descriptions of the how the left
multi-function switch operates to control the many
interior lighting functions and features it provides:
²Panel Lamps Dimming- The Body Control
Module (BCM) monitors the left multi-function
switch then, based upon that multiplexed input, pro-
vides a variable voltage output through several panel
lamps driver circuits to control the lighting of many
incandescent panel lamps. The BCM also sends panel
lamps dimming messages over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus to other
modules to control Display lighting levels in those
modules.²Interior Lamps Defeat- The Body Control
Module (BCM) monitors the left multi-function
switch then, based upon that multiplexed input,
internally disables the function the BCM normally
provides to control the illumination of the interior
lamps.
²Interior Lamps On- The Body Control Module
(BCM) monitors the left multi-function switch then,
based upon that multiplexed input, provides a control
output to activate all of the interior lamp circuits.
²Parade Mode- The Body Control Module
(BCM) monitors the left multi-function switch then,
based upon that multiplexed input, provides a volt-
age output through several panel lamps driver cir-
cuits to control the lighting of many incandescent
panel lamps. The BCM also sends panel lamps dim-
ming messages over the Programmable Communica-
tions Interface (PCI) data bus to other modules on
the bus to control lighting levels in those modules.

POWER MIRRORS
DESCRIPTION
Driver and passenger side power operated outside
rear view mirrors are standard factory-installed
equipment on this model. The power mirror system
allows the driver to adjust both outside mirrors elec-
trically from the driver seat position by operating a
switch on the driver side front door trim panel. The
power mirror system receives non-switched battery
current through a fuse in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) so that the power mirrors remain oper-
ational, regardless of the ignition switch position.
The standard equipment power operated outside
rear view mirrors are also equipped with the heated
mirror system, which will only operate when the
ignition switch is in the On position and the rear
window defogger switch is turned on. When the rear
window defogger switch is in the On position, electric
heater grids on the rear window glass and behind
both outside rear view mirror glasses are energized.
These electric heater grids produce heat to help clear
the rear window glass and outside rear view mirrors
of ice, snow, or fog. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
HEATED MIRRORS - DESCRIPTION) for more
information on this feature.
A driver side automatic dimming outside mirror
that dims the mirror to reduce the glare of bright
lights approaching the vehicle from behind, and a
memory system that automatically positions the
power mirrors for two different drivers are optionalfactory-installed equipment on this model. (Refer to 8
- ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/AUTOMATIC
DAY / NIGHT MIRROR - DESCRIPTION) for more
information. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
SEATS - DESCRIPTION) for more information.
This group covers the following components of the
power mirror system:
²Power mirrors
²Power mirror switch.
Certain functions and features of the power mirror
system rely upon resources shared with other elec-
tronic modules in the vehicle over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network.
The PCI data bus network allows the sharing of sen-
sor information. This helps to reduce wire harness
complexity, internal controller hardware, and compo-
nent sensor current loads. At the same time, this sys-
tem 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
mirror 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-
WJPOWER MIRRORS 8N - 11

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.
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.
OPERATION
The Driver Door Module (DDM) and the Passenger
Door Module (PDM) each contain the power mirror
control logic for the mirror on its respective door. The
DDM also houses the power mirror switch. Each door
module controls the positioning of its respective out-
side mirror through hard wired outputs to that mir-
ror. When the power mirror switch on the DDM is
used to position the passenger side outside mirror,
the DDM sends mirror positioning messages to the
PDM over the Programmable Communications Inter-
face (PCI) data bus. The PDM responds to these mes-
sages by sending control outputs to move the
passenger side mirror accordingly.
Both the PDM and DDM respond to the defogger
switch status messages sent by the Body Control
Module (BCM) over the PCI data bus to control the
electric heater grids of their respective mirrors.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HEATED MIRRORS -
DESCRIPTION) for more information on this fea-
ture.
On models equipped with the optional memory sys-
tem, each door module also receives a hard wired
input from the two power mirror motor position
potentiometers that are integral to each power mir-
ror. Each door module then stores the Driver 1 and
Driver 2 mirror position information for its respective
mirror. When the DDM receives a Driver 1 or Driver
2 memory recall message from the memory switch on
the driver side front door trim panel or from the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) receiver in the PDM,
the DDM positions the driver side mirror and sends
a memory recall message back to the PDM over the
PCI data bus to position the passenger side mirror.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the power mirror system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER MIRRORS
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
hard wired components and circuits of the power mir-
ror system. However, these tests may not prove con-
clusive in the diagnosis of this system. In order toobtain conclusive testing of the power mirror system,
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
data bus network and all of the electronic modules
that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from the
power mirror system components must be checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the power mirror 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, that the
power mirror motors are being sent the proper hard
wired outputs, and that the mirror position potenti-
ometers are returning the proper outputs to the door
modules for them to perform their power mirror sys-
tem functions.
AUTOMATIC DAY/NIGHT
MIRROR
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - REAR VIEW MIRROR
An automatic day/night mirror system is an avail-
able factory-installed option on this model. The auto-
matic dimming inside day/night rear view mirror
system is a completely self-contained unit that
replaces the standard equipment inside rear view
mirror. This system will automatically change the
reflectance of the inside rear view mirror to protect
the driver from the unwanted headlight glare of
trailing vehicles while driving at night. The auto-
matic day/night inside mirror receives ignition
switched battery current through a fuse in the junc-
tion block, and will only operate when the ignition
switch is in the On position.
Vehicles equipped with the automatic day/night
mirror system are also available with an optional fac-
tory-installed automatic dimming outside rear view
mirror for the driver side of the vehicle. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/SIDEVIEW MIR-
ROR - DESCRIPTION) for more information on this
option.
The automatic day/night mirror sensitivity cannot
be repaired or adjusted. If any component of this unit
is faulty or damaged, the entire automatic day/night
inside rear view mirror unit must be replaced. Refer
to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring
information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire
and connector repair procedures, details of wire har-
ness routing and retention, connector pin-out infor-
mation and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.

POWER MIRROR SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Both the right and left power outside mirrors are
controlled by a single multi-function switch unit
located on the driver side front door trim panel. The
power mirror switch unit includes a three-position
rocker selector switch and four momentary direc-
tional push button switches.
The power mirror switch unit is integral to the
Driver Door Module (DDM). The power mirror switch
cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if faulty or dam-
aged, the entire DDM unit must be replaced. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL
MODULES/DRIVER DOOR MODULE - REMOVAL)
for the DDM service procedures.
OPERATION
The power mirror selector switch is moved right
(right mirror control), left (left mirror control), or
center to turn the power outside mirror system off.
When the selector switch is in the right mirror con-
trol or left mirror control position, one of the four
directional control buttons is depressed to control
movement of the selected mirror up, down, right, or
left. When the selector switch is in the Off position,
depressing any of the directional switches will not
change either mirror position.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the power mirror switches.
SIDEVIEW MIRROR
DESCRIPTION
Mechanically folding, power operated outside rear
view mirrors are standard equipment on this model.
Each power mirror housing contains two electric
motors, two drive mechanisms, an electric heating
grid, the mirror glass case and the mirror glass. One
motor and drive controls mirror up-and-down (verti-
cal) movement, and the other controls right-and-left
(horizontal) movement. If the vehicle is equipped
with the optional memory system, each mirror head
also contains two position potentiometers. One posi-
tion potentiometer monitors the vertical mirror
motor, and the other monitors the horizontal mirror
motor.
An optional driver side automatic dimming mirror
is able to automatically change its reflectance level.
This mirror is controlled by the circuitry of the auto-
matic day/night inside rear view mirror. A thin layer
of electrochromic material between two pieces of con-
ductive glass make up the face of the mirror. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/AUTO-MATIC DAY / NIGHT MIRROR - DESCRIPTION) for
more information on this feature.
The power mirror unit cannot be repaired. Only
the mirror glass and glass case are serviced sepa-
rately. The replacement mirror glass is supplied with
an instruction sheet that details the recommended
replacement procedure. If any other component of the
power mirror unit is faulty or damaged, the entire
power mirror unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
Each of the two outside power mirrors includes two
reversible electric motors that are secured within the
power mirror housing. Each motor moves the mirror
case and glass through an integral drive unit. When
a power mirror motor is supplied with battery cur-
rent and ground, it moves the mirror case and glass
through its drive unit in one direction. When the bat-
tery current and ground feeds to the motor are
reversed, it moves the mirror case and glass in the
opposite direction.
The power mirrors are equipped with a standard
equipment electric heating grid that is applied to the
back of each outside rear view mirror glass. When an
electrical current is passed through the resistor wire
of the heating grid, it warms the mirror glass. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HEATED MIRRORS -
DESCRIPTION) for more information on the opera-
tion of the heated mirrors and the rear window
defogger system.
If the driver side mirror is equipped with the auto-
matic dimming outside mirror option, two photocell
sensors on the inside rear view mirror are used to
monitor light levels and adjust the reflectance of both
the inside and driver side outside mirrors. This
change in reflectance helps to reduce the glare of
headlamps approaching the vehicle from the rear.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/AU-
TOMATIC DAY / NIGHT MIRROR - OPERATION)
for more information on this feature.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional mem-
ory system, the Driver Door Module (DDM) and the
Passenger Door Module (PDM) store the mirror posi-
tion information as monitored through the mirror
motor position potentiometers. When the memory
system requests a recall of the stored mirror position,
the DDM and the PDM are able to duplicate the
stored mirror positions by moving the mirror motors
until the potentiometer readings match the stored
values.
