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.

HEATED SEAT ELEMENT
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat system includes two seat heating ele-
ments in each front seat, one for the seat cushion (Fig.
5)and the other for the seat back. One type of heated
seat element is offered. All models use two resistor wire
heating elements for each seat that are connected in
series with the Heated Seat Module (HSM).
The seat heating elements are glued to the seat and
seat back cushions. The heated seat elements can be
replaced if faulty or damaged, service replacement seat
or seat back elements are available. Refer to the pro-
cedure in this section for detailed instructions.
OPERATION
The heated seat elements resist the flow of electri-
cal current. When battery current is passed through
the elements, the energy lost by the resistance of the
elements to the current flow is released in the form
of heat. The temperature sensor is a NTC thermistor.
When the temperature of the seat cushion cover
rises, the resistance of the sensor decreases. The
HSM or MHSM supplies a five-volt current to one
side of each sensor, and monitors the voltage drop
through the sensor on a return circuit. The MSM or
MHSM uses this temperature sensor input to moni-
tor the temperature of the seat, and regulates the
current flow to the seat heating elements accordingly.

HEATED SEAT SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat temperature sensor is a Negative
Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor. One tem-
perature sensor is used for each seat. This tempera-
ture sensor is located in the seat cushion heating
element on all models.
The heated seat temperature sensor cannot be
repaired or adjusted and must be replaced if defec-
tive. The heated seat cushion element must be
replaced if the temperature sensor is defective. Refer
to the procedure in this section of the service man-
ual.

PASSENGER HEATED SEAT
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat switches are mounted in the
instrument panel center lower bezel (Fig. 7), which is
located near the bottom of the instrument panel cen-
ter stack. The two three-position rocker-type
switches, one switch for each front seat, provide a
resistor multiplexed signal to the Body Control Mod-
ule (BCM) through separate hard wired circuits.
Each switch has an Off, Low, and High position so
that both the driver and the front seat passenger can
select a preferred seat heating mode. Each switch
has two Light-Emitting Diodes (LED), one each for
the Low position and the High position, which light
to indicate that the heater for the seat that the
switch controls is turned on. Each switch is also back
lit by a replaceable incandescent bulb.
The heated seat switches and their LEDs cannot
be repaired. If either switch or LED is faulty or dam-
aged, the entire switch unit must be replaced. The
incandescent switch illumination bulb and bulb
holder units are available for service replacement.

message is received, whichever occurs first. After
twelve seconds, the cluster will return the gauge nee-
dle to the low end of the gauge scale.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the gauge needle will be
swept across the entire gauge scale and back in order
to confirm the functionality of the gauge and the
cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the engine coolant
temperature sensor to determine the engine operat-
ing temperature. The PCM then sends the proper
engine coolant temperature messages to the instru-
ment cluster. For further diagnosis of the engine cool-
ant temperature gauge or the instrument cluster
circuitry that controls the gauge, (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING). If the instrument cluster moves the
engine coolant temperature gauge needle to indicate
a high or critical engine temperature, it may indicate
that the engine or the engine cooling system requires
service. For proper diagnosis of the engine coolant
temperature sensor, the PCM, the PCI data bus, or
the electronic message inputs to the instrument clus-
ter that control the engine coolant temperature
gauge, a DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.
FRONT FOG LAMP INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A front fog lamp indicator is standard equipment
on all instrument clusters, but is only functional on
vehicles equipped with the optional front fog lamps.
The front fog lamp indicator is located on the left
edge of the instrument cluster, to the left of the
tachometer. The front fog lamp indicator consists of
an International Control and Display Symbol icon for
ªFront Fog Lightº imprinted on a green 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 icon
appears silhouetted against a green field through the
translucent outer layer of the overlay when the indi-
cator is illuminated from behind by a replaceable
incandescent bulb and bulb holder unit located on
the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. When
the exterior lighting is turned On, the illumination
intensity of the front fog lamp indicator is dimmable,
which is adjusted using the panel lamps dimmer con-
trol ring on the control stalk of the left multi-func-
tion switch. The front fog lamp indicator lens isserviced as a unit with the instrument cluster lens,
hood and mask unit.
OPERATION
The front fog lamp indicator gives an indication to
the vehicle operator whenever the front fog lamps
are illuminated. This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon cluster programming and electronic mes-
sages received by the cluster from the Body Control
Module (BCM) over the Programmable Communica-
tions Interface (PCI) data bus. The front fog lamp
indicator bulb is completely controlled by the instru-
ment cluster logic circuit, and that logic will allow
this indicator to operate whenever the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused
B(+) circuit. Therefore, the indicator can be illumi-
nated regardless of the ignition switch position. The
bulb only illuminates when it is provided a path to
ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn on the front fog lamp
indicator for the following reasons:
²Front Fog Lamp Indicator Lamp-On Mes-
sage- Each time the cluster receives a front fog
lamp indicator lamp-on message from the BCM indi-
cating that the front fog lamps are turned On, the
front fog lamp indicator will be illuminated. The indi-
cator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
front fog lamp indicator lamp-off message from the
BCM.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the front fog lamp indica-
tor will be turned on for the duration of the test to
confirm the functionality of the bulb and the cluster
control circuitry.
The BCM continually monitors the exterior light-
ing (left multi-function) switch to determine the
proper outputs to the front fog lamp relay. The BCM
then sends the proper front fog lamp indicator
lamp-on and lamp-off messages to the instrument
cluster. If the front fog lamp indicator fails to light
during the actuator test, replace the bulb with a
known good unit. For further diagnosis of the front
fog lamp indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry
that controls the indicator, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). For proper diagnosis of the front fog
lamp system, the BCM, the PCI data bus, or the elec-
tronic message inputs to the instrument cluster that
control the front fog lamp indicator, a DRBIIItscan
tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.
8J - 20 INSTRUMENT CLUSTERWJ
ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE (Continued)

Control Module (PCM) over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus. The tachome-
ter is an air core magnetic unit that receives battery
current on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board through the fused ignition switch output (run-
start) circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the
On or Start positions. The cluster is programmed to
move the gauge needle back to the low end of the
scale after the ignition switch is turned to the Off
position. The instrument cluster circuitry controls
the gauge needle position and provides the following
features:
²Engine Speed Message- Each time the cluster
receives an engine speed message from the PCM it
will calculate the correct engine speed reading and
position the gauge needle at that speed position on
the gauge scale. The cluster will receive a new
engine speed message and reposition the gauge
pointer accordingly about every 86 milliseconds. The
gauge needle will continue to be positioned at the
actual engine speed position on the gauge scale until
the ignition switch is turned to the Off position.
²Communication Error- If the cluster fails to
receive an engine speed message, it will hold the
gauge needle at the last indication for about six sec-
onds, or until the ignition switch is turned to the Off
position, whichever occurs first. If a new engine
speed message is not received after about six sec-
onds, the gauge needle will return to the far left
(low) end of the scale.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the gauge needle will be
swept across the entire gauge scale and back in order
to confirm the functionality of the gauge and the
cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the crankshaft posi-
tion sensor to determine the engine speed, then
sends the proper engine speed messages to the
instrument cluster. For further diagnosis of the
tachometer or the instrument cluster circuitry that
controls the gauge, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IN-
STRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TEST-
ING). For proper diagnosis of the crankshaft position
sensor, the PCM, the PCI data bus, or the electronic
message inputs to the instrument cluster that control
the tachometer, a DRBIIItscan tool is required.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
TRANS TEMP INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A transmission over-temperature indicator is stan-
dard equipment on all gasoline engine instrument
clusters. The transmission over-temperature indica-
tor is located near the lower right corner of theinstrument cluster, to the right of the speedometer.
The transmission over-temperature indicator consists
of the words ªTRANS OVER TEMPº imprinted on an
amber 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 indi-
cator from being clearly visible when it is not illumi-
nated. The words ªTRANS OVER TEMPº appear
silhouetted against an amber field through the trans-
lucent outer layer of the overlay when the indicator
is illuminated from behind by a replaceable incandes-
cent bulb and bulb holder unit located on the instru-
ment cluster electronic circuit board. The
transmission over-temperature indicator lens is ser-
viced as a unit with the instrument cluster lens, hood
and mask unit.
OPERATION
The transmission over-temperature indicator gives
an indication to the vehicle operator when the trans-
mission fluid temperature is excessive, which may
lead to accelerated transmission component wear or
failure. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on
the instrument cluster electronic circuit board based
upon cluster programming and electronic messages
received by the cluster over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus. These mes-
sages are sent by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) or by the Transmission Control Module
(TCM), depending on the model of the automatic
transmission. The transmission over-temperature
indicator bulb is completely controlled by the instru-
ment 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 indicator will always be off when the ignition
switch is in any position except On or Start. The bulb
only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground
by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster will turn on the transmission over-tempera-
ture indicator for the following reasons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the transmission over-tem-
perature indicator is illuminated for about three sec-
onds as a bulb test.
²Trans Over-Temp Indicator Lamp-On Mes-
sage- Each time the cluster receives a trans over-
temp indicator lamp-on message from the PCM or
TCM indicating that the transmission fluid tempera-
ture is 135É C (275É F) or higher, the transmission
over-temperature indicator will be illuminated. The
indicator remains illuminated until the cluster
receives a trans over-temp indicator lamp-off mes-
sage from the PCM or TCM, or until the ignition
8J - 32 INSTRUMENT CLUSTERWJ
TACHOMETER (Continued)

switch is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs
first.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the transmission over-tem-
perature indicator will be turned on for the duration
of the test to confirm the functionality of the bulb
and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM or TCM continually monitors the trans-
mission temperature sensor to determine the trans-
mission operating condition. The PCM or TCM then
sends the proper trans over-temp indicator lamp-on
or lamp-off messages to the instrument cluster. If the
transmission over-temperature indicator fails to light
during the bulb test, replace the bulb with a known
good unit. If the instrument cluster turns on the
transmission over-temperature indicator due to a
high transmission oil temperature condition, it may
indicate that the transmission or the transmission
cooling system are being overloaded or that they
require service. For further diagnosis of the trans-
mission over-temperature indicator or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls the indicator, (Refer to
8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAG-
NOSIS AND TESTING). For proper diagnosis of the
transmission temperature sensor, the PCM, the
TCM, the PCI data bus, or the electronic message
inputs to the instrument cluster that control the
transmission over-temperature indicator, a DRBIIIt
scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diag-
nostic information.
TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
Two turn signal indicators, one right and one left,
are standard equipment on all instrument clusters.
The turn signal indicators are located near the upper
edge of the instrument cluster, the left one is left of
the tachometer, and the right one is right of the
speedometer. Each turn signal indicator consists of
an International Control and Display Symbol icon for
ªTurn Warningº imprinted on a green lens. Each lens
is located behind a dedicated cutout in the opaque
layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark
outer layer of the overlay prevents these icons from
being clearly visible when they are not illuminated.
The icons appear silhouetted against a green field
through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when the indicator is illuminated from behind by a
replaceable incandescent bulb and bulb holder unit
located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board. The turn signal indicator lenses are serviced
as a unit with the instrument cluster lens, hood and
mask unit.
OPERATION
The turn signal indicators give an indication to the
vehicle operator that the turn signal (left or right
indicator flashing) or hazard warning (both left and
right indicators flashing) have been selected and are
operating. These indicators are controlled by two
individual hard wired inputs from the combination
flasher circuitry to the instrument cluster electronic
circuit board. Each turn signal indicator bulb is
grounded on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board at all times; therefore, these indicators remain
functional regardless of the ignition switch position.
Each indicator bulb will only illuminate when it is
provided with battery current by the combination
flasher in the Junction Block (JB).
The turn signal indicators are connected in parallel
with the other turn signal circuits. This arrangement
allows the turn signal indicators to remain func-
tional, regardless of the condition of the other cir-
cuits in the turn signal and hazard warning systems.
The combination flasher outputs to the instrument
cluster turn signal indicator inputs can be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and methods. For
more information on the turn signal and hazard
warning system, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/
LIGHTING - EXTERIOR - OPERATION - TURN
SIGNAL & HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM).
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TURN SIGNAL
INDICATOR
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative
turn signal indicator condition. If the problem being
diagnosed is related to inoperative turn signal or
hazard warning lamps, be certain to repair the turn
signal and hazard warning system before attempting
to diagnose or repair the turn signal indicators.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING -
EXTERIOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TURN
SIGNAL & HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM). If no
turn signal and hazard warning system problem is
found, the following procedure will help locate an
open in the turn signal indicator circuit. Refer to the
appropriate wiring information. The wiring informa-
tion includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and con-
nector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness con-
nectors, splices and grounds.
