LUMBAR CONTROL SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The ten-way power seat option includes an electri-
cally operated lumbar support mechanism. A single
two-way momentary power lumbar switch is located
on the outboard seat cushion side shield of each front
seat, just forward of the other power seat switches
(Fig. 8). The power lumbar switch is secured to the
back of the seat cushion side shield with two screws,
and the switch paddle protrudes through a hole to
the outside of the shield. The switch paddle is located
in a shallow depression molded into the outer surface
of the seat cushion side shield that helps to shroud it
from unintentional actuation when entering or leav-
ing the vehicle.
The power lumbar switches cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced.
OPERATION
When the power lumbar switch paddle is actuated,
a battery feed and a ground path are applied through
the switch contacts to the power lumbar adjuster
motor. The motor operates to move the lumbar
adjuster through its drive unit in the selected direc-
tion until the switch is released, or until the travel
limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is
moved in the opposite direction, the battery feed and
ground path to the motor are reversed through the
switch contacts. This causes the motor to run in the
opposite direction.
The power lumbar switch should not be held
applied in either direction after the adjuster hasreached its travel limit. The power lumbar adjuster
motor contains a self-resetting circuit breaker to pro-
tect it from overload. However, consecutive or fre-
quent resetting of the circuit breaker must not be
allowed to continue, or the motor may be damaged.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER LUMBAR

PASSENGER SEAT SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Two different power seat switches are used on this
vehicle, depending upon the optional power seat sys-
tem installed in the vehicle. The six-way power seats
are each equipped with a switch featuring three
switch control knobs ganged together on the outboard
seat cushion side shield (Fig. 13). The ten-way power
seats are each equipped with a switch featuring two
knobs ganged together on the outboard seat cushion
side shield (Fig. 14).
The switch units for both power seat types are
secured to the back of the seat cushion side shield
with two screws. However, the control knobs for the
six-way power seat switch unit remain installed dur-

ing switch unit removal and installation, while both
knobs for the ten-way power seat switch unit must
be removed.
The individual switches in both power seat switch
units cannot be repaired. If one switch is damaged or
faulty, the entire power seat switch unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The power seat tracks of both the six-way and the
ten-way power seat systems can be adjusted in six
different ways using the power seat switches. The
ten-way system has the additional power seat
recliner switch integral to the power seat switch and
also has a separate, stand-alone switch to control the
power lumbar adjuster. See the owner's manual in
the vehicle glove box for more information on the
power seat switch functions and the seat adjusting
procedures.
When a power switch control knob or knobs are
actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the power seat
track or recliner adjuster motor. The selected
adjuster motor operates to move the seat track or
recliner through its drive unit in the selected direc-
tion until the switch is released, or until the travel
limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is
moved in the opposite direction, the battery feed and
ground path to the motor are reversed through the
switch contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to
run in the opposite direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any
direction after the adjuster has reached its travel
limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a
self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them fromoverload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting
of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to con-
tinue, or the motor may be damaged.

cylinder lock switches are driven by the key lock cyl-
inders and contain two internal resistors. One resis-
tor value is used for the Lock position, and one for
the Unlock position.
The door cylinder lock switches cannot be adjusted
or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The door cylinder lock switches are actuated by the
key lock cylinder when the key is inserted in the lock
cylinder and turned to the lock or unlock positions.
The door cylinder lock switch close a circuit between
the door lock switch ground circuit and the left or
right cylinder lock switch mux circuits through one of
two internal resistors for the Driver Door Module
(DDM) when either front door key lock cylinder is in
the Lock, or Unlock positions. The DDM reads the
switch status through an internal pull-up, then uses
this information as an input for the Vehicle Theft
Security System (VTSS) operation.
The door cylinder lock switches and circuits can be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and
methods.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DOOR CYLINDER
LOCK SWITCH
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire har-
ness connectors, splices and grounds.(1) Disconnect the door cylinder lock switch pigtail
wire connector from the door wire harness connector.
(2) Using a ohmmeter, check the switch resistance
checks between the two terminals in the door cylin-
der lock switch pigtail wire connector. Actuate the
switch by rotating the key in the door lock cylinder
to test for the proper resistance values in each of the
two switch positions, as shown in the Door Cylinder
Lock Switch Test table.

function switch provides a resistor multiplexed out-
put to the Body Control Module (BCM) on a
windshield wiper switch mux circuit, and the BCM
responds by energizing the wiper on/off relay in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC) to operate the front
wiper motor momentarily at low speed to provide the
front wiper mist mode.
²Intermittent Front Wipe Mode- On models
not equipped with the optional automatic wiper sys-
tem, the control knob on the end of the right (wiper)
multi-function switch control stalk is rotated to one
of five minor intermediate detents to select the
desired intermittent front wipe delay interval. The
control knob is rotated rearward (counterclockwise)
to increase the delay, or forward (clockwise) to
decrease the delay. The right (wiper) multi-function
switch provides a resistor multiplexed output to the
Body Control Module (BCM) on a windshield wiper
switch mux circuit. The BCM responds by monitoring
electronic vehicle speed messages received from the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Program-
mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus,
then energizing the wiper on/off relay in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) to operate the front wiper
motor at the proper delay intervals.
²Intermittent Rear Wipe Mode- The control
ring on the right (wiper) multi-function switch con-
trol stalk is rotated to the center detent to select the
intermittent rear wiper mode. The right (wiper)
multi-function switch provides a battery current out-
put to the rear wiper motor on a rear wiper motor
delay control circuit to signal the rear wiper module
to operate the rear wiper in the intermittent wipe
mode.
²Rear Washer Mode- The right (wiper) multi-
function switch control stalk is pushed forward
toward the instrument panel to a momentary posi-
tions to activate the rear washer pump/motor in the
rear washer mode. The rear washer pump will con-
tinue to operate in the rear washer mode until the
control stalk is released. The right (wiper) multi-
function switch provides battery current on a rear
washer pump motor control circuit to energize the
rear washer pump in the rear washer mode.DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - RIGHT MULTI-
FUNCTION SWITCH
Be certain to perform the diagnosis for the front
wiper system, front washer system, rear wiper sys-
tem, and/or rear washer system before testing the
right multi-function switch. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/FRONT WIPERS/WASHERS - DIAGNOSIS
