SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming
that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules.
Shift schedule selection is dependent on the follow-
ing:
²Shift lever position
²Throttle position
²Engine load
²Fluid temperature
²Software level
As driving conditions change, the TCM appropri-
ately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the follow-
ing chart to determine the appropriate operation
expected, depending on driving conditions.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (Continued)

The VFD is diagnosed using the EMIC self-diag-
nostic actuator test. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IN-
STRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). Proper testing of the PCI data bus and
the data bus message inputs to the EMIC that con-
trol the VFD functions requires the use of a DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation. Specific operation details for the odometer
and trip odometer functions of the VFD may be found
elsewhere in this service information.
INDICATORS
Indicators are located in various positions within
the EMIC and are all connected to the EMIC circuit
board. The turn signal indicators are hard wired. The
brake indicator is controlled by PCI data bus mes-
sages from the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) as
well as by hard wired park brake switch and brake
fluid level switch inputs to the EMIC. The Malfunc-
tion Indicator Lamp (MIL) is normally controlled by
PCI data bus messages from the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM); however, if the EMIC loses PCI data
bus communication, the EMIC circuitry will automat-
ically turn the MIL on until PCI data bus communi-
cation is restored. The EMIC uses PCI data bus
messages from the Airbag Control Module (ACM), the
BCM, the PCM, the CAB, the Sentry Key Immobi-
lizer Module (SKIM), and the Transmission Control
Module (TCM) to control all of the remaining indica-
tors.
The various indicators are controlled by different
strategies; some receive fused ignition switch output
from the EMIC circuitry and have a switched ground,
others are grounded through the EMIC circuitry and
have a switched battery feed, while still others are
completely controlled by the EMIC microprocessor
based upon various hard wired and electronic mes-
sage inputs. Some indicators are illuminated at a
fixed intensity, while the illumination intensity of
others is synchronized with that of the EMIC general
illumination lamps.
The hard wired indicators are diagnosed using con-
ventional diagnostic methods. The EMIC and PCI
bus message controlled indicators are diagnosed
using the EMIC self-diagnostic actuator test. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). Proper testing of the
PCI data bus and the electronic data bus message
inputs to the EMIC that control each indicator
require the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information. Specific details of
the operation for each indicator may be found else-
where in this service information.CLUSTER ILLUMINATION
Two types of general cluster illumination are avail-
able in this model. Base versions of the EMIC have
several incandescent illumination lamps, while pre-
mium versions of the EMIC have a single electro-lu-
minescent lamp. Both types of lamps provide cluster
back lighting whenever the exterior lighting is
turned On with the control knob on the left (lighting)
multi-function switch control stalk. The illumination
intensity of these lamps is adjusted by the EMIC
microprocessor based upon electronic dimming level
messages received from the Body Control Module
(BCM) over the PCI data bus. The BCM provides
electronic dimming level messages to the EMIC
based upon internal programming and inputs it
receives when the control ring on the left (lighting)
multi-function switch control stalk is rotated (down
to dim, up to brighten) to one of six available minor
detent positions.
The incandescent illumination lamps receive bat-
tery current at all times, while the ground for these
lamps is controlled by a 12-volt Pulse Width Modu-
lated (PWM) output of the EMIC electronic circuitry.
The illumination intensity of these bulbs and of the
vacuum-fluorescent electronic display are controlled
by the instrument cluster microprocessor based upon
dimming level messages received from the Body Con-
trol Module (BCM) over the PCI data bus. The BCM
uses inputs from the headlamp and panel dimmer
switches within the left (lighting) multi-function
switch control stalk and internal programming to
decide what dimming level message is required. The
BCM then sends the proper dimming level messages
to the EMIC over the PCI data bus.
The electro-luminescent lamp unit consists of lay-
ers of phosphor, carbon, idium tin oxide, and dielec-
tric applied by a silk-screen process between two
polyester membranes and includes a short pigtail
wire and connector. The lamp pigtail wire is con-
nected to a small connector receptacle on the EMIC
circuit board through a small clearance hole in the
cluster housing rear cover. The EMIC electronic cir-
cuitry also uses a PWM strategy to control the illu-
mination intensity of this lamp; however, the EMIC
powers this lamp with an Alternating Current (AC)
rated at 80 volts rms (root mean squared) and 415
Hertz, which excites the phosphor particles causing
them to luminesce.
The BCM also has several hard wired panel lamp
driver outputs and sends the proper panel lamps
dimming level messages over the PCI data bus to
coordinate the illumination intensity of all of the
instrument panel lighting and the VFDs of other
electronic modules on the PCI data bus. Vehicles
equipped with the Auto Headlamps option have an
automatic parade mode. In this mode, the BCM uses

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any malfunction it
detects. Each time the airbag indicator fails to illu-
minate due to an open or short in the cluster airbag
indicator circuit, the cluster sends a message notify-
ing the ACM of the condition, then the instrument
cluster and the ACM will each store a DTC. For
proper diagnosis of the airbag system, the ACM, the
PCI data bus, or the electronic message inputs to the
instrument cluster that control the airbag indicator,
a DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer to the appro-
priate diagnostic information.
BRAKE/PARK BRAKE
INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A brake indicator is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters. The brake indicator is located
near the left edge of the instrument cluster, to the
left of the tachometer. There are two versions of the
brake indicator. The version used depends upon the
market for which the vehicle is manufactured. The
version of the brake indicator used for vehicles man-
ufactured for the United States consists of the word
ªBRAKEº imprinted on a red lens. The Rest-Of-World
(ROW) market version of this indicator has two
International Control and Display Symbol icons
imprinted on the red lens; one is the icon for ªBrake
Failureº, and the other is the icon for ªParking
Brakeº. In either case, the lens is located behind a
cutout in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster
overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents
the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The ªBRAKEº text or the two icons
appear silhouetted against a red field through the
translucent outer layer of the overlay when the indi-
cator is illuminated from behind by a Light Emitting
Diode (LED), which is soldered onto the instrument
cluster electronic circuit board. The brake indicator
lens is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster
lens, hood and mask unit.
OPERATION
The brake indicator gives an indication to the vehi-
cle operator when the parking brake is applied, when
the fluid level of the brake hydraulic system is low,
or if there are certain malfunctions of the Anti-lock
Brake System (ABS). This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board based upon cluster programming, electronic
messages received by the cluster from the Controller
Anti-lock Brake (CAB) over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus, and a hard
wired input to the cluster from the park brake
switch. The brake indicator Light Emitting Diode(LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow
this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition
switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the indi-
cator will always be off when the ignition switch is in
any position except On or Start. The LED only illu-
minates when it is provided a path to ground by the
instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster
will turn on the brake indicator for the following rea-
sons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the brake indicator is illu-
minated by the instrument cluster for about three
seconds as a bulb test.
²Brake Indicator Lamp-On Message- Each
time the cluster receives a brake indicator lamp-on
message from the CAB, the brake indicator will be
illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until
the cluster receives a brake indicator lamp-off mes-
sage from the CAB.
²Park Brake Switch Input- Each time the
cluster logic circuit detects ground on the park brake
switch sense circuit (park brake switch closed = park
brake applied or not fully released) the brake indica-
tor is illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated
until the park brake switch sense input to the cluster
is an open circuit (park brake switch open = park
brake fully released), or until the ignition switch is
turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.
²Communication Error- If the cluster receives
no brake indicator lamp-on or lamp-off messages
from the CAB for six consecutive seconds, the brake
indicator is illuminated. The indicator remains illu-
minated until the cluster receives a single valid
brake indicator lamp-off message from the CAB.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the brake indicator will be
turned on for the duration of the test to confirm the
functionality of the LED and the cluster control cir-
cuitry.
The park brake switch on the park brake pedal
mechanism provides a hard wired ground input to
the instrument cluster circuitry through the red
brake warning indicator driver circuit whenever the
park brake is applied or not fully released. The CAB
continually monitors the input from the brake fluid
level switch and the circuits of the anti-lock brake
system, then sends the proper brake indicator
lamp-on or lamp-off messages to the instrument clus-
ter. If the CAB sends a brake indicator lamp-on mes-
sage after the bulb test, it indicates that the CAB
has detected a brake hydraulic system malfunction
and/or that the ABS system has become inoperative.
The CAB will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
for any malfunction it detects.

AIRBAG INDICATOR (Continued)

For further diagnosis of the brake indicator or the
instrument cluster circuitry that controls the indica-
tor, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). The park
brake switch input to the instrument cluster can be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and
methods. For proper diagnosis of the brake fluid level
switch input to the CAB, the anti-lock brake system,
the CAB, the PCI data bus, or the electronic message
inputs to the instrument cluster that control the
brake indicator, a DRBIIItscan tool is required.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BRAKE INDICATOR
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative
park brake indicator condition. If there are problems
with several indicators in the instrument cluster,
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUS-
TER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If the brake
indicator stays on with the ignition switch in the On
position and the park brake released, or comes on
while driving, (Refer to 5 - BRAKES - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING). If no brake system problem is
found, the following procedures will help to locate a
shorted or open circuit, or a faulty park brake switch
input. 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.

CHECK GAUGES INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A check gauges indicator is standard equipment on
all instrument clusters. The check gauges indicator is
located on the right edge of the instrument cluster, to
the right of the speedometer. The check gauges indi-
cator consists of the words ªCHECK GAGESº
imprinted on a red lens. The lens is located behind a
cutout in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster
overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents
the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The ªCHECK GAGESº text appears sil-
houetted against a red field through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when the indicator is illu-
minated from behind by a Light Emitting Diode
(LED), which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board. The check gauges indicator

for door and liftgate open indications and to show if a
turn signal has been left on. The EVIC messages and
displays are coordinated with warning indicators in
the instrument cluster to avoid duplication.
The EVIC module contains a central processing
unit and interfaces 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, reduce
internal controller hardware, and reduce component
sensor current loads. At the same time, this system
provides increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics,
and allows the addition of many new feature capabil-
ities.
The EVIC module includes the following display
options:
²Compass and Temperature- provides the out-
side temperature and one of eight compass readings
to indicate the direction the vehicle is facing.
²Average fuel economy- shows the average
fuel economy since the last trip computer reset.
²Distance to empty- shows the estimated dis-
tance that can be travelled with the fuel remaining
in the fuel tank. This estimated distance is computed
using the average miles-per-gallon from the last 30
gallons of fuel used.
²Instant fuel economy- shows the present fuel
economy based upon the current vehicle distance and
fuel used information.
²Trip distance- shows the distance travelled
since the last trip computer reset.
²Elapsed time- shows the accumulated igni-
tion-on time since the last trip computer reset.
²Distance to service- shows the distance
remaining until the next scheduled service interval.
²Tire Pressure- shows the tire pressure in each
tire.
²Blank screen- the EVIC compass/temperature/
trip computer VFD is turned off.
The EVIC is capable of displaying the following
alert messages, which are accompanied by an audible
announcement consisting of a series of beeps:
²TURN SIGNALS ON (with vehicle graphic)-
Indicates that a turn signal has remained on for
about 1.6 kilometers (one mile).
²PERFORM SERVICE- Indicates that a cus-
tomer programmable service interval distance has
been reached.
²DOOR OPEN (one or more, with vehicle
graphic)- Indicates that a door is open or not fully
closed.
²LIFTGATE OPEN (with vehicle graphic)-
Indicates that the liftgate is open or not fully closed.
²LIFTGLASS OPEN (with vehicle graphic)-
Indicates that the liftglass is open or not fully closed.²COOLANT LEVEL LOW (with vehicle
graphic)- Indicates that the coolant level in the
engine coolant reservoir is low.
²XX LOW PRESSURE (with vehicle graphic)
- Indicates that the air pressure in the selected tire
is low.
²WASHER FLUID LOW (with vehicle
graphic)- Indicates that the fluid level in the
washer fluid reservoir is low.
The EVIC ªMenuº push button provides the vehicle
operator with a user interface, which allows the
selection of several optional customer programmable
electronic features to suit individual preferences.
Refer toELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMA-
TION CENTER PROGRAMMINGin the Service
Procedures section of this group for more information
on the customer programmable feature options.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional mem-
ory system, the EVIC will display the following mem-
ory system messages:
²MEMORY #X POSITION SET (X = Driver 1
or Driver 2)- This message appears in the EVIC
display each time the memory system is successfully
programmed. It is accompanied by an audible
announcement chime tone.
²MEMORY SYSTEM DISABLED- The memory
system is automatically disabled while the driver
side seat belt is fastened and/or while the automatic
transmission gear selector is in any position except
Park or Neutral. This message appears in the EVIC
display as a reminder when a memory switch push
button is depressed while the memory system is dis-
abled. If the REMOTE LINKED TO MEMORY cus-
tomer programmable feature has been selected, this
message will also appear when the Unlock button of
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is
depressed while the memory system is disabled.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional Univer-
sal Transmitter transceiver, the EVIC will also dis-
play messages and an icon indicating when the
Universal Transmitter is being trained, which of the
three transmitter buttons is transmitting, and when
the transceiver is cleared.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optionalTire
Pressure Monitoring System, the EVIC will also
display messages and an icon indicating when the
tire air pressure falls below a given set-point, and
which of the five tires is transmitting the low pres-
sure warning, and when the condition is cleared.
Refer to the Tires/Wheels section of this manual for
complete Tire Pressure Monitoring System descrip-
tion. Refer to this section of the service manual for
EVIC modules function description for the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring.
Data input for all EVIC functions, including VFD
dimming level, is received through PCI data bus

messages. The EVIC module uses its internal pro-
gramming and all of its data inputs to calculate and
display the requested data. If the data displayed is
incorrect, perform the self-diagnostic tests as
described in this group. If these tests prove inconclu-
sive, the use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the proper
Diagnostic Procedures manual are recommended for
further testing of the EVIC module and the PCI data
bus.
The EVIC module cannot be repaired, and is avail-
able for service only as a unit. This unit includes the
push button switches and the plastic housed module.
If any of these components are faulty or damaged,
the complete EVIC module must be replaced. The
incandescent bulbs used for EVIC push button back-
lighting and the display lens are available for service
replacement.
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
CHIME
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
uses the chime warning system for two different
kinds of support. In addition to requesting chime
tones from the Body Control Module (BCM) as tactile
beep support, the EVIC is programmed to send chime
request messages over the Programmable Communi-
cations Interface (PCI) data bus when it detects the
following conditions:
²Door Open Warning- A door is open above a
critical speed [about 16 kilometers-per-hour (10
miles-per-hour) for the driver side front door, or
about 5 kilometers-per-hour (3 miles-per-hour) for
any other door].
²Liftgate Open Warning- The liftgate is open
above a critical speed [about 5 kilometers-per-hour (3
miles-per-hour)].
²Liftglass Open Warning- The liftgate flip-up
glass is open above a critical speed [about 5 kilome-
ters-per-hour (3 miles-per-hour)].
²Low Coolant Level Warning- The coolant
level in the engine coolant reservoir is low.
²Perform Service Alert- An audible alert that
a ªPerform Serviceº reminder message is being dis-
played by the EVIC.
²Turn Signal On Warning- A turn signal
remains on for about 1.6 kilometers (one mile).
²Washer Fluid Low Warning- The fluid level
in the washer reservoir is low.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the EVIC. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD
CONSOLE/ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER
- DESCRIPTION) for more information on the EVIC.
COMPASS
While in the compass/temperature mode, the com-
pass will display the direction in which the vehicle is
pointed using the eight major compass headings
(Examples: north is N, northeast is NE). The self-cal-
ibrating compass unit requires no adjusting in nor-
mal use. The only calibration that may prove
necessary is to drive the vehicle in one circle at 5 to
8 kilometers-per-hour (3 to 5 miles-per-hour), on level
ground, in not less than 20 seconds. This will reori-
ent the compass unit to its vehicle.
The compass unit also will compensate for magne-
tism the body of the vehicle may acquire during nor-
mal use. However, avoid placing anything magnetic
directly on the roof of the vehicle. Magnetic mounts
for an antenna, a repair order hat, or a funeral pro-
cession flag can exceed the compensating ability of
the compass unit if placed on the roof panel. Mag-
netic bit drivers used on the fasteners that hold the
overhead console assembly to the roof header can
also affect compass operation. If the vehicle roof
should become magnetized, the demagnetizing and
calibration procedures found in this group may be
required to restore proper compass operation.
TEMPERATURE
The outside ambient temperature is displayed in
whole degrees. The temperature display can be tog-
gled from Fahrenheit to Celsius by selecting the
desired U.S./Metric option from the customer pro-
grammable features as described inELECTRONIC
VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER PROGRAM-
MINGin the Standard Procedures section of this
group. The displayed temperature is not an instant
reading of conditions, but an average temperature. It
may take the temperature display several minutes to
respond to a major temperature change, such as driv-
ing out of a heated garage into winter temperatures.
When the ignition switch is turned to the Off posi-
tion, the last displayed temperature reading stays in
the Body Control Module (BCM) unit memory. When
the ignition switch is turned to the On position
again, the EVIC will display the memory tempera-
ture for one minute; then update the display to the
current average temperature reading within five
minutes.
The temperature function is supported by an ambi-
ent temperature sensor. The sensor is mounted out-
side the passenger compartment near the front and
center of the vehicle, and is hard wired to the Body
Control Module (BCM). The BCM sends temperature
status messages to the EVIC module over the PCI
data bus network. The ambient temperature sensor
is available as a separate service item.
