STANDARD PROCEDURE - IGNITION-OFF
DRAW TEST
The term Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) identifies a nor-
mal condition where power is being drained from the
battery with the ignition switch in the Off position. A
normal vehicle electrical system will draw from five
to thirty-five milliamperes (0.005 to 0.035 ampere)
with the ignition switch in the Off position, and all
non-ignition controlled circuits in proper working
order. Up to thirty-five milliamperes are needed to
enable the memory functions for the Powertrain Con-
trol Module (PCM), digital clock, electronically tuned
radio, and other modules which may vary with the
vehicle equipment.
A vehicle that has not been operated for approxi-
mately twenty days, may discharge the battery to an
inadequate level. When a vehicle will not be used for
twenty days or more (stored), remove the IOD fuse
from the Power Distribution Center (PDC). This will
reduce battery discharging.Excessive IOD can be caused by:
²Electrical items left on.
²Faulty or improperly adjusted switches.
²Faulty or shorted electronic modules and compo-
nents.
²An internally shorted generator.
²Intermittent shorts in the wiring.
If the IOD is over thirty-five milliamperes, the
problem must be found and corrected before replac-
ing a battery. In most cases, the battery can be
charged and returned to service after the excessive
IOD condition has been corrected.
(1) Verify that all electrical accessories are off.
Turn off all lamps, remove the ignition key, and close
all doors. If the vehicle is equipped with an illumi-
nated entry system or an electronically tuned radio,
allow the electronic timer function of these systems
to automatically shut off (time out). This may take
up to three minutes. See the Electronic Module Igni-
tion-Off Draw Table for more information.

(2) Determine that the underhood lamp is operat-
ing properly, then disconnect the lamp wire harness
connector or remove the lamp bulb.
(3) Disconnect the battery negative cable.
(4) Set an electronic digital multi-meter to its
highest amperage scale. Connect the multi-meter
between the disconnected battery negative cable ter-
minal clamp and the battery negative terminal post.
Make sure that the doors remain closed so that the
illuminated entry system is not activated. The multi-
meter amperage reading may remain high for up tothree minutes, or may not give any reading at all
while set in the highest amperage scale, depending
upon the electrical equipment in the vehicle. The
multi-meter leads must be securely clamped to the
battery negative cable terminal clamp and the bat-
tery negative terminal post. If continuity between the
battery negative terminal post and the negative cable
terminal clamp is lost during any part of the IOD
test, the electronic timer function will be activated
and all of the tests will have to be repeated.

CHARGING
DESCRIPTION
The charging system consists of:
²Generator
²Electronic Voltage Regulator (EVR) circuitry
within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
²Ignition switch
²Battery (refer to 8, Battery for information)
²Battery temperature sensor
²Generator Lamp (if equipped)
²Check Gauges Lamp (if equipped)
²Voltmeter (refer to 8, Instrument Cluster for
information)
²Wiring harness and connections (refer to 8, Wir-
ing for information)
OPERATION
The charging system is turned on and off with the
ignition switch. The system is on when the engine is
running and the ASD relay is energized. When the
ASD relay is on, voltage is supplied to the ASD relay
sense circuit at the PCM. This voltage is connected
through the PCM and supplied to one of the genera-
tor field terminals (Gen. Source +) at the back of the
generator.
The amount of DC current produced by the gener-
ator is controlled by the EVR (field control) circuitry
contained within the PCM. This circuitry is con-
nected in series with the second rotor field terminal
and ground.
A battery temperature sensor, located in the bat-
tery tray housing, is used to sense battery tempera-
ture. This temperature data, along with data from
monitored line voltage, is used by the PCM to vary
the battery charging rate. This is done by cycling theground path to control the strength of the rotor mag-
netic field. The PCM then compensates and regulates
generator current output accordingly.
All vehicles are equipped with On-Board Diagnos-
tics (OBD). All OBD-sensed systems, including EVR
(field control) circuitry, are monitored by the PCM.
Each monitored circuit is assigned a Diagnostic Trou-
ble Code (DTC). The PCM will store a DTC in elec-
tronic memory for certain failures it detects. Refer to
Diagnostic Trouble Codes in; Powertrain Control
Module; Electronic Control Modules for more DTC
information.
The Check Gauges Lamp (if equipped) monitors:
charging system voltage,engine coolant tempera-
ture and engine oil pressure. If an extreme condition
is indicated, the lamp will be illuminated. This is
done as reminder to check the three gauges. The sig-
nal to activate the lamp is sent via the CCD bus cir-
cuits. The lamp is located on the instrument panel.
Refer to 8, Instrument Cluster for additional infor-
mation.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CHARGING
SYSTEM
The following procedures may be used to diagnose
the charging system if:
²the check gauges lamp (if equipped) is illumi-
nated with the engine running
²the voltmeter (if equipped) does not register
properly
²an undercharged or overcharged battery condi-
tion occurs.
Remember that an undercharged battery is often
caused by:
²accessories being left on with the engine not
running
8F - 24 CHARGINGWJ
²a faulty or improperly adjusted switch that
allows a lamp to stay on. Refer to Ignition-Off Draw
Test in 8, Battery for more information.
INSPECTION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors
critical input and output circuits of the charging sys-
tem, making sure they are operational. A Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is assigned to each input and
output circuit monitored by the On-Board Diagnostic
(OBD) system. Some charging system circuits are
checked continuously, and some are checked only
under certain conditions.
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Codes in; Powertrain
Control Module; Electronic Control Modules for more
DTC information. This will include a complete list of
DTC's including DTC's for the charging system.

DESCRIPTION - REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
An electrically heated rear window defogger is
standard factory-installed equipment on this model.
Electrically heated outside rear view mirrors are
available factory-installed optional equipment. When
the rear window defogger system is turned on, elec-
tric heater grids on the liftgate flip-up 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 the outside rear
view mirrors of ice, snow, or fog. The rear window
defogger system control circuit uses ignition switched
battery current, so the system will only operate when
the ignition switch is in the On position.
This group covers the following components of the
rear window defogger system:
²Rear glass heating grid
²Rear window defogger relay²Rear window defogger switch.
Certain functions and features of the rear window
defogger system rely upon resources shared with
other electronic modules in the vehicle over the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus
network. The PCI data bus network allows the shar-
ing of sensor information. This helps to reduce wire
harness 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, use a
DRBIIItscan tool and (Refer to Appropriate Diagnos-
tic Information).
The other electronic modules that may affect
proper system operation are:
²Body Control Module (BCM)- Refer to Elec-
tronic Control Modules for more information.
²Driver Door Module (DDM)- Refer to Elec-
tronic Control Modules for more information.
WJHEATED SYSTEMS 8G - 1
²Passenger Door Module (PDM)- Refer to
Electronic Control Modules for more information.
OPERATION - REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
The rear window defogger system is controlled by a
momentary switch that is integral to the a/c heater
control located in the center stack area of the instru-
ment panel. A Light-Emitting Diode (LED) in the
switch button will light to indicate when the rear
window defogger system is turned on. The BCM,
which contains the rear window defogger system
timer and control logic, monitors the status of the
defogger switch through a hard-wired input. The
BCM then sends control outputs through a hard
wired circuit to energize or de-energize the defogger
relay.
The electrically heated outside rear view mirror
heating grids are also controlled by the rear window
defogger switch. When the BCM receives an input
from the switch, it sends a defogger switch status
message to the DDM and the PDM over the PCI data
bus. The DDM and PDM respond to the defogger
switch status messages by energizing or de-energiz-
ing the battery current feed to their respective out-
side rear view mirror heating grids.
The rear window defogger system will be automat-
ically turned off after a programmed time interval of
about ten minutes. After the initial time interval has
expired, if the defogger switch is turned on again
during the same ignition cycle, the defogger system
will automatically turn off after about five minutes.
The defogger system will automatically shut off if the
ignition switch is turned to the Off position, or it can
be turned off manually by depressing the rear win-
dow defogger switch again.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the rear window defogger system.

DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISO-
LATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE,
THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYS-
TEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PER-
FORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS
IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENTAL
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.For complete circuit diagrams, (Refer to Appropri-
ate Wiring Information). The operation of the electri-
cally heated rear window defogger system can be
confirmed in one of the following manners:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
While monitoring the instrument panel voltmeter,
depress the rear window defogger switch to the On
position. When the rear window defogger switch is
turned On, a distinct voltmeter needle deflection
should be noted.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Depress the rear window defogger switch to the On
position. The rear window defogger operation can be
checked by feeling the rear window or outside rear
view mirror glass. A distinct difference in tempera-
ture between the grid lines and the adjacent clear
glass or the mirror glass can be detected within three
to four minutes of operation.
3. Using a 12-volt DC voltmeter, contact the rear
glass heating grid terminal A (right side) with the
negative lead, and terminal B (left side) with the pos-
itive lead (Fig. 1). The voltmeter should read battery
voltage.
The above checks will confirm rear window defog-
ger system operation. Illumination of the rear win-
dow defogger switch LED indicator means that there
is battery current available at the output of the rear
window defogger relay, but does not confirm that bat-
tery current is reaching the rear glass heating grid
lines.
If the rear window defogger system does not oper-
ate, the problem should be isolated in the following
manner:

HEATED SEAT SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
Individually controlled driver and passenger side
electrically heated front seats are available factory-
installed optional equipment on this model, when it
is also equipped with the power seat option. The
heated seat system allows both the driver and the
front seat passenger the option to select one of two
seat heating ranges, Low or High, or to turn the indi-
vidual seat heaters Off using the heated seat
switches located in the center lower bezel near the
bottom of the instrument panel center stack (Fig. 1).
The heated seat switch circuit operates on ignition
switched battery current supplied through a fuse in
the junction block, only when the ignition switch is
in the On position.
The heated seat system consists of the following
components :
²Heated seat elements
²Heated seat sensors
²Heated seat module (or memory heated seat
module)
²Heated seat switches.
The heated seat system also relies upon resources
shared with other electronic modules in the vehicle
over the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network. The PCI data bus network
allows the sharing of sensor information. This helps
to reduce wire harness complexity, internal controller
hardware, and component sensor current loads. At
the same time, this system provides increased reli-
ability, enhanced diagnostics, and allows the addition
of many new feature capabilities. For diagnosis of

these electronic modules or of the PCI data bus net-
work, the use of a DRBtscan tool and the proper
Diagnostic Procedures manual are recommended.
The electronic modules that may affect heated seat
system operation are as follows:
²Body Control Module (BCM)- Refer toBody
Control Modulein Electronic Control Modules for
more information.
²Heated Seat Module (HSM)- Refer toHeated
Seat Modulein Electronic Control Modules for more
information.
²Memory Heated Seat Module (MHSM)-If
the vehicle is equipped with the Memory System,
refer toMemory Seat Modulein Electronic Control
Modules for more information.
Refer toPower Seats Premium I/IIIin the Con-
tents of Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit dia-
grams. Following are general descriptions of the
major components in the heated seat system.
OPERATION
The heated seat system will only operate when the
ignition switch is in the On position, and the surface
temperature at the front seat heating element sen-
sors is below the designed temperature set points of
the system. The heated seat system will not operate
in ambient temperatures greater than about 41É C
(105É F). The front seat heating elements and sensors
are hard wired to the Heated Seat Module (HSM) or
the Memory Heated Seat Module (MHSM).
The heated seat switches are hard wired to the
Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM monitors the
heated seat switch inputs, then sends heated seat
switch status messages to the HSM or MHSM over
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
data bus. The HSM or MHSM contains the control
logic for the heated seat system. The HSM or MHSM
responds to the heated seat switch status messages,
ignition switch status messages, and the front seat
heating element sensor inputs by controlling the out-
put to the front seat heating elements through inte-
gral solid-state relays.
When a seat heater is turned on, the sensor
located on the seat cushion electric heater element
provides the HSM or MHSM with an input indicating
the surface temperature of the seat cushion. If the
surface temperature input is below the temperature
set point for the selected Low or High heated seat
switch position, the HSM or MHSM energizes the
integral solid-state relay, which supplies battery cur-
rent to the heating elements in the seat cushion and
back. When the sensor input indicates the correct
temperature set point has been achieved, the HSM or
MHSM de-energizes the solid-state relay. The HSM
or MHSM will continue to cycle the solid-state relay
as needed to maintain the temperature set point.The HSM or MHSM and the seat heater elements
operate on non-switched battery current supplied
through the power seat circuit breaker in the junc-
tion block. However, the HSM or MHSM will auto-
matically turn off the heating elements if it detects
an open or short in the sensor circuit, a short or open
in the heating element circuit causing an excessive
current draw, or when the ignition switch is turned
to the Off position.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the heated seat system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT
SYSTEM
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
components and circuits that are hard wired inputs
or outputs of the heated seat system. However, these
tests may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
this system. In order to obtain conclusive testing of
the heated seat system, the Programmable Commu-
nications Interface (PCI) data bus network and all of
the electronic modules that provide inputs to, or
receive outputs from the heated seat system compo-
nents must be checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the heated seat system requires the use of a
DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures
manual. The DRBtscan tool can provide confirma-
tion 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
Heated Seat Module (HSM) or Memory Heated Seat
Module (MHSM) is receiving the proper hard wired
inputs and relaying the proper hard wired outputs to
perform its heated seat system functions.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer toWiring
Diagrams.

NON-MEMORY HEATED SEAT MODULES FROM
ONE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER. MOST OF THESE
MODULES ARE VEHICLE FEATURE SPECIFIC AND
THEREFORE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. ALWAYS
USE THE CORRECT PART NUMBERED MODULE
WHEN DIAGNOSING OR REPLACING A MODULE.
