RECLINER MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The ten-way power seat option includes an electri-
cally operated seat back recliner mechanism. The
only visible evidence of this option is the separate
power seat recliner switch control knob that is
located on the outboard seat cushion side shield, just
behind the other power seat switch control knob. The
power seat recliner switch is integral to the ten-way
power seat switch unit, but is actuated with a sepa-
rate switch knob.
The power seat recliner unit is mounted in the
place of a seat hinge on the outboard side of the seat
(Fig. 20). The upper hinge plate of the power seat
recliner mechanism is secured with two screws to the
seat back frame and is concealed beneath the seat
back trim cover and padding. The lower hinge plate
and the motor and drive unit of the power seat
recliner mechanism is secured with two screws to the
seat cushion frame, and is concealed by the outboard
seat cushion side shield.
The power seat recliner cannot be repaired. If the
unit is faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. Refer
toBucket Seat Reclinerin Body for the service
procedure.
OPERATION
The power seat recliner includes a reversible elec-
tric motor that is secured to the lower hinge plate of
the recliner unit. The motor is connected to a gearbox
that moves the upper hinge plate of the power seat
recliner through a screw-type drive unit. The driver
side power seat recliner motor used on models
equipped with the optional memory system also has
a position potentiometer integral to the motor assem-
bly, which electronically monitors the motor position.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - RECLINER MOTOR
Actuate the power seat recliner switch to move the
power seat recliner adjuster in each direction. The
power seat recliner adjuster should move in both
directions. If the power seat recliner adjuster fails to
operate in only one direction, move the adjuster a
short distance in the opposite direction and test
again to be certain that the adjuster is not at its
travel limit. If the power seat recliner adjuster still
fails to operate in only one direction, refer toPower
Seat Switch Diagnosis and Testingin this group.
If the power recliner adjuster fails to operate in
either direction, perform the following tests. For com-
plete circuit diagrams, refer toWiring Diagrams.
(1) Check the power seat circuit breaker in the
junction block. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, replace
the faulty power seat circuit breaker.

OPERATION
The power seat track unit includes three reversible
electric motors that are secured to the upper half of
the track unit. Each motor moves the seat adjuster
through a combination of worm-drive gearboxes and
screw-type drive units. Each of the three driver side
power seat track motors used on models equipped
with the optional memory system also has a position
potentiometer integral to the motor assembly, which
electronically monitors the motor position.
The front and rear of the seat are operated by two
separate vertical adjustment motors. These motors
can be operated independently of each other, tilting
the entire seat assembly forward or rearward; or,
they can be operated in unison by selecting the
proper power seat switch functions, which will raise
or lower the entire seat assembly. The third motor is
the horizontal adjustment motor, which moves the
seat track in the forward and rearward directions.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER SEAT
TRACK
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
hard wired components and circuits of the power seat
system. However, if the vehicle is also equipped with
the optional memory system, these tests may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the driver side
power seat. In order to obtain conclusive testing of
the driver side power seat with the memory system
option, the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network and all of the electronic mod-
ules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from
the memory system components must be checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the driver side power seat with the memory
system option requires the use of a DRBtscan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual. The
DRBtscan tool can provide confirmation that the
PCI data bus is functional, that all of the electronic
modules are sending and receiving the proper mes-
sages on the PCI data bus, and that the memory sys-
tem is receiving the proper hard wired inputs and
relaying the proper hard wired outputs to perform its
driver side power seat functions.Actuate the power seat switch to move all three
power seat track adjusters in each direction. The
power seat track adjusters should move in each of
the selected directions. If a power seat track adjuster
fails to operate in only one direction, move the
adjuster a short distance in the opposite direction
and test again to be certain that the adjuster is not
at its travel limit. If the power seat track adjuster
still fails to operate in only one direction, refer to
Power Seat Switch Diagnosis and Testingin this
group. If the power seat track adjuster fails to oper-
ate in more than one direction, perform the following
tests. For complete circuit diagrams, refer toWiring
Diagrams.
(1) Check the power seat circuit breaker in the
junction block. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, replace
the faulty power seat circuit breaker.
(2) Check for battery voltage at the power seat cir-
cuit breaker in the junction block. If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the
fuse in the Power Distribution Center as required.
(3) Remove the outboard seat cushion side shield
from the seat. Disconnect the seat wire harness con-
nector from the power seat switch connector recepta-
cle. Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+)
circuit cavity of the power seat wire harness connec-
tor for the power seat switch. If OK, go to Step 4. If
not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the
power seat circuit breaker in the junction block as
required.
(4) Check for continuity between the ground cir-
cuit cavity of the power seat wire harness connector
for the power seat switch and a good ground. There
should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK,
repair the open ground circuit to ground as required.
(5) Test the power seat switch. Refer toPower
Seat Switch Diagnosis and Testingin this group.
If the switch tests OK, test the circuits of the power
seat wire harness between the inoperative power seat
track adjuster motor and the power seat switch for
shorts or opens. If the circuits check OK, replace the
faulty power seat track unit. If the circuits are not
OK, repair the power seat wire harness as required.

POWER WINDOWS
DESCRIPTION
Power operated driver side and passenger side
front and rear door windows are standard factory-in-
stalled equipment on this model. The power window
system allows each of the door windows to be raised
or lowered electrically by operating a switch on the
trim panel for that door. Additionally, the master
switches on the driver side front door trim panel
allow all of the windows to be operated from the
driver seat position. A power window lockout switch
on the driver side front door trim panel will allow the
driver to disable all of the passenger door window
switches.
The power window system functionally operates
when the ignition switch is in the On position. How-
ever, a unique feature of this system will allow the
power windows to be operated for up to forty-five sec-
onds after the ignition switch is turned to the Off
position, or until a front door is opened, whichever
occurs first.
An auto-down feature allows the driver side front
door window to be lowered all the way, even if the
window switch is released. The driver side front door
window switch must be depressed in the down direc-
tion to a second detent to begin an auto-down event.
Depressing the switch again in any direction cancel
the auto-down event and begin movement in the
direction specified.
This group covers the following components of the
power window system:
²Power window switches
²Power window motors.
Certain functions and features of the power win-
dow system rely upon resources shared with other
electronic modules in the vehicle over the Program-mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus net-
work. The PCI data bus network allows the sharing
of sensor information. This helps to reduce wire har-
ness 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, the use of a
DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures
manual are recommended.
The other electronic modules that may affect power
window 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-
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.
This group covers diagnosis and service of only the
electrical components in the power window system.
For service of mechanical components, such as the
regulator, lift plate, window tracks, or glass refer to
Body. 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. Follow-
ing are general descriptions of the major components
in the power window system.
WJPOWER WINDOWS 8N - 33
PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS
INOPERATIVE
If the driver side front and rear power windows
operate, but the passenger side front and rear do not,
use a DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Pro-
cedures manual to check the PCI data bus for proper
operation.
ONE WINDOW INOPERATIVE
The window glass and regulator mechanism must
be free to slide up and down for the power window
motor to function properly. If the window glass and
regulator is not free to move up and down, the motor
will overload and trip the integral circuit breaker. To
determine if the window glass and regulator are free,
disconnect the regulator plate from the glass. Then
slide the window up and down by hand.
There is an alternate method to check if the win-
dow glass and regulator mechanism is free. Position
the glass between the up and down stops. Then,
shake the glass in the door. Check that the glass can
be moved slightly from side to side, front to rear, and
up and down. Then check that the glass is not bound
tight in the tracks.
If the window glass and regulator mechanism is
free, refer toDoor Modulein Electrical, Power Win-
dows. If the glass is not free, inspect the window
glass mounting and operating hardware for damage
or improperly installed components. Refer toBodyto
check for proper installation or damage of the win-
dow glass mounting and operating hardware.
DOOR MODULE
NOTE: The following tests may not prove conclu-
sive in the diagnosis of this component. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
this component requires the use of a DRB scan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual.
If the problem being diagnosed is a rear door win-
dow that does not operate from the rear door switch,
but does operate from the master switch on the
driver side front door, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
POWER WINDOWS/POWER WINDOW SWITCH -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If the problem is a
passenger side front or rear window that operates
from the switch on that door, but does not operate
from the master switch on the driver side front door,
use a DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Pro-
cedures manual to diagnose the circuitry of both door
modules and the PCI data bus. For complete circuit
diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring informa-
tion. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connec-tor pin-out information and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Remove the trim panel from the front door, but
do not disconnect the door wire harness connectors
from the door module. Go to Step 2.
(2) Check the 15-way door wire harness connector
for the door module to see that it is fully seated in
the door module connector receptacle. If OK, go to
Step 3. If not OK, properly connect the 15-way door
wire harness connector for the door module to the
door module connector receptacle.
(3) Disconnect the 15-way door wire harness con-
nector from the door module connector receptacle.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit cav-
ity of the 15-way door wire harness connector for the
door module and a good ground. There should be con-
tinuity. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the
open ground circuit to ground as required.
(4) Connect the battery negative cable. Check for
battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of the
15-way door wire harness connector for the door
module. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the
open fused B(+) circuit to the fuse in the Power Dis-
tribution Center (PDC) as required.
(5) If the inoperative window is on a front door, go
to Step 6. If the inoperative window is on a rear door
go to Step 9.
(6) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Disconnect the door wire harness connector
from the inoperative power window motor wire har-
ness connector. Check for continuity between the
front window driver up circuit cavity of the 15-way
door wire harness connector for the door module and
a good ground. Repeat the check for the front window
driver down circuit. In each case there should be no
continuity. If OK, go to Step 7. If not OK, repair the
shorted front window driver up or down circuit as
required.
(7) Check for continuity between the front window
driver up circuit cavities of the 15-way door wire har-
ness connector for the door module and the door wire
harness connector for the power window motor.
Repeat the check for the front window driver down
circuit. In each case there should be continuity. If
OK, go to Step 8. If not OK, repair the open front
window driver up or down circuit as required.
(8) Reconnect the 15-way door wire harness con-
nector back into the door module connector recepta-
cle. Connect the battery negative cable. Connect the
probes of a reversible DC digital voltmeter to the
door wire harness connector for the power window
motor. Observe the voltmeter while actuating the
switch for that window in the up and down direc-
tions. There should be battery voltage for as long as
the switch is held in both the up and down positions,

SEAT BELT SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The seat belt switch for this model is actually a
Hall Effect-type sensor. This sensor consists of a
fixed-position, Hall Effect Integrated Circuit (IC) chip
and a small permanent magnet that are integral to
each front seat belt buckle. The front seat belt buck-
les are each located on a stamped steel stanchion
within a molded plastic scabbard and secured with a
screw to the floor panel transmission tunnel on the
inboard side of each front seat cushion (Fig. 40). Theseat belt switches are connected to the vehicle elec-
trical system through a two-lead pigtail wire and
connector on the seat belt buckle-half, which is con-
nected to a wire harness connector and take out of
the body wire harness on vehicles with manual seat
adjusters, or to a connector and take out of the power
seat wire harness on vehicles with power seat adjust-
ers. A radio noise suppression capacitor is connected
in parallel with the IC where the two pigtail wire
leads connect to the IC pins.
The seat belt switch cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, the entire seat belt buckle-
half unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The seat belt switches are designed to provide a
status signal to the seat belt switch sense inputs of
the Airbag Control Module (ACM) indicating whether
the front seat belts are fastened. The ACM uses the
seat belt switch inputs as a factor in determining
what level of force with which it should deploy the
multistage driver and passenger airbags. In addition,
the ACM sends electronic messages to the ElectroMe-
chanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) to control the
seat belt indicator based upon the status of the
driver side front seat belt switch. A spring-loaded
slide with a small window-like opening is integral to
the buckle latch mechanism. When a seat belt tip-
half is inserted and latched into the seat belt buckle,
the slide is pushed downward and the window of the
slide exposes the Hall Effect Integrated Circuit (IC)
chip within the buckle to the field of the permanent
magnet, which induces a current within the chip.
The chip provides this induced current as an output
to the ACM, which monitors the current to determine
the status of the front seat belts. When the seat belt
is unbuckled, the spring-loaded slide moves upward
and shields the IC from the field of the permanent
magnet, causing the output current from the seat
belt switch to be reduced.
The seat belt switch receives a supply current from
the ACM, and the ACM senses the status of the front
seat belts through its pigtail wire connection to the
airbag overlay wire harness. The ACM monitors the
condition of the seat belt switch circuits and will illu-
minate the airbag indicator in the EMIC then store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that is
detected in either seat belt switch circuit. For proper
diagnosis of the seat belt switches, a DRBIIItscan
tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.

the more frequently the RSM will send wipe com-
mands to the BCM to operate the front wiper system.
The RSM operates on battery current received
through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB) on a fused
B(+) circuit. This circuit is switched by the power
accessory (sunroof) delay relay in the JB so that the
RSM will operate whenever the relay is energized by
the BCM. The RSM receives ground at all times
through a take out of the left body wire harness with
an eyelet terminal that is secured by a ground screw
to the front seat crossmember on the floor panel
under the left front seat. It is important to note that
the default condition for the wiper system is auto-
matic wipers Off; therefore, if no message is received
from the RSM by the BCM for more than about five
seconds, the automatic wipers will be disabled and
the BCM will default the front wiper system opera-
tion to the low speed continuous wipe mode.
The RSM ground and battery current inputs can be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and
methods. However, conventional diagnostic methods
may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the RSM
internal circuitry, the BCM, the PCI data bus net-
work, or the electronic messages received and trans-
mitted by the RSM over the PCI data bus. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the RSM requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
