HORN RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The horn relay is a electromechanical device that
switches battery current to the horn when the horn
switch grounds the relay coil. The horn relay is
located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) inthe engine compartment. If a problem is encountered
with a continuously sounding horn, it can usually be
quickly resolved by removing the horn relay from the
PDC until further diagnosis is completed. See the
fuse and relay layout label affixed to the inside sur-
face of the PDC cover for horn relay identification
and location.
The horn relay is a International Standards Orga-
nization (ISO) micro-relay. Relays conforming to the
ISO specifications have common physical dimensions,
current capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal
functions. The ISO micro-relay terminal functions
are the same as a conventional ISO relay. However,
the ISO micro-relay terminal pattern (or footprint) is
different, the current capacity is lower, and the phys-
ical dimensions are smaller than those of the conven-
tional ISO relay.
The horn relay cannot be repaired or adjusted and,
if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a
resistor or diode, and three (two fixed and one mov-
able) electrical contacts. The movable (common feed)
relay contact is held against one of the fixed contacts
(normally closed) by spring pressure. When the elec-
tromagnetic coil is energized, it draws the movable
contact away from the normally closed fixed contact,
and holds it against the other (normally open) fixed
contact.
When the electromagnetic coil is de-energized,
spring pressure returns the movable contact to the
normally closed position. The resistor or diode is con-
nected in parallel with the electromagnetic coil in the
relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes that are
produced when the coil is de-energized.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HORN RELAY
The horn relay (Fig. 2) is located in the Power Dis-
tribution Center (PDC) between the battery and the
right inner fender shield on the passenger side of the
engine compartment. If a problem is encountered
with a continuously sounding horn, it can usually be
quickly resolved by removing the horn relay from the
PDC until further diagnosis is completed. See the
fuse and relay layout label affixed to the inside sur-
face of the PDC cover for horn relay identification
and location. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The wiring infor-
mation 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 con-
nectors, splices and grounds.

lens is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster
lens, hood and mask unit.
OPERATION
The check gauges indicator gives an indication to
the vehicle operator when certain instrument cluster
gauge readings reflect a condition requiring immedi-
ate attention. This indicator is controlled by a tran-
sistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based
upon cluster programming and electronic messages
received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) over the Programmable Communica-
tions Interface (PCI) data bus. The check gauges
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 cur-
rent 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 LED only illuminates when it is
provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn on the
check gauges indicator for the following reasons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the check gauges indicator
is illuminated for about three seconds as a bulb test.
²Engine Temperature High/Critical Message
- Each time the cluster receives a message from the
PCM indicating the engine coolant temperature is
high or critical [above about 127É C (261É F) for gas-
oline engines except Gulf Coast Country (GCC), 129É
C (264É F) for GCC gasoline engines, and 118É C
(244É F) for diesel engines], the check gauges indica-
tor is illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated
until the cluster receives a message indicating the
engine coolant temperature is not high or critical
[about 125É C (255É F) or below for all gasoline
engines, or 115É C (239É F) for all diesel engines].
²Engine Oil Pressure Low Message- Each
time the cluster receives a message from the PCM
indicating the engine oil pressure is about 0.28
kg/cm or lower (about 4 psi or lower), the check
gauges indicator is illuminated. The indicator
remains illuminated until the cluster receives a mes-
sage from the PCM indicating that the engine oil
pressure is about 0.56 kg/cm or higher (about 8 psi
or higher). The cluster will only turn the indicator on
in response to an engine oil pressure low message if
the ignition switch is in the On position and the
engine speed is 300 rpm or greater.
²System Voltage Low Message- Each time the
cluster receives a message from the PCM indicating
a low system voltage condition (system voltage is
about eleven volts or lower), the check gauges indica-
tor is illuminated. The indicator remains illuminateduntil the cluster receives a message from the PCM
indicating there is no low system voltage condition
(system voltage is above about eleven volts, but lower
than about sixteen volts).
²System Voltage High Message- Each time
the cluster receives a message from the PCM indicat-
ing a high system voltage condition (system voltage
is about sixteen volts or higher), the check gauges
indicator is illuminated. The indicator remains illu-
minated until the cluster receives a message from
the PCM indicating there is no high system voltage
condition (system voltage is below about sixteen
volts, but higher than about eleven volts).
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the check gauges indicator
will be turned on for the duration of the test to con-
firm the functionality of the LED and the cluster con-
trol circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the engine temper-
ature, oil pressure, and electrical system voltage,
then sends the proper messages to the instrument
cluster. For further diagnosis of the check gauges
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that con-
trols the indicator, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IN-
STRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). For proper diagnosis of the PCM, the PCI
data bus, or the electronic message inputs to the
instrument cluster that control the check gauges
indicator, a DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer to
the appropriate diagnostic information.
COOLANT LOW INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A coolant low indicator is only found in the instru-
ment clusters of vehicles equipped with an optional
diesel engine. The coolant low indicator should not be
confused with the coolant level low indication pro-
vided by the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) of vehicles equipped with a gasoline engine,
although they do perform the same function. The
coolant low indicator is located in the lower left cor-
ner of the instrument cluster, to the left of the
tachometer. The coolant low indicator consists of an
International Control and Display Symbol icon for
ªLow Coolantº 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 indicator from being clearly
visible when it is not illuminated. The icon appears
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. When the

nated at full brightness if the exterior lamps are
turned On during daylight hours.
The VFD, the trip odometer switch, and the trip
odometer switch button are serviced as a unit with
the instrument cluster.
OPERATION
The odometer and trip odometer give an indication
to the vehicle operator of the distance the vehicle has
traveled. This gauge is controlled by the instrument
cluster electronic circuitry based upon cluster pro-
gramming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
over the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus. The odometer and trip odometer
information is displayed by the instrument cluster
Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD). The VFD will
only display odometer or trip odometer information
after the ignition switch is turned to the On or Start
positions, and will display the information in the
odometer or trip odometer mode based upon the
selection that was active when the ignition switch
was last turned to the Off position. The instrument
cluster circuitry controls the VFD and provides the
following features:
²Odometer/Trip Odometer Display Toggling-
Actuating the trip odometer reset switch button
momentarily with the ignition switch in the On posi-
tion will toggle the display between the odometer and
trip odometer information. Each time the ignition
switch is turned to the On or Start positions, the dis-
play will automatically return to the last mode
selected (odometer or trip odometer) before the igni-
tion switch was turned to the Off position.
²Trip Odometer Reset- When the trip odome-
ter reset switch button is depressed and held for
longer than about two seconds with the ignitions
switch in the On or Start positions, the trip odometer
will be reset to 000.0 kilometers (miles). The VFD
must be displaying the current trip odometer infor-
mation in order for the trip odometer information to
be reset.
²Communication Error- If the cluster fails to
receive a distance message during normal operation,
it will hold and display the last data received until
the ignition switch is turned to the Off position. If
the cluster does not receive a distance message
within one second after the ignition switch is turned
to the On position, it will display the last distance
message stored in the cluster memory. If it is deter-
mined that the distance information stored in the
cluster memory is corrupt, it will display ª------º in
the VFD. If the cluster is unable to display distance
information due to an error internal to the cluster,
the VFD display will be blank.²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the VFD will step sequen-
tially through a display of ª000000º through
ª999999º, then display the cluster software version
number to confirm the functionality of the VFD and
the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the vehicle speed
pulse information received from the vehicle speed
sensor, then sends the proper distance messages to
the instrument cluster. For further diagnosis of the
odometer/trip odometer or the instrument cluster cir-
cuitry that controls these functions, (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNO-
SIS AND TESTING). For proper diagnosis of the
vehicle speed sensor, the PCM, the PCI data bus, or
the electronic message inputs to the instrument clus-
ter that control the odometer/trip odometer, a
DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer to the appropri-
ate diagnostic information.
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
DESCRIPTION
An oil pressure gauge is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters. The oil pressure gauge is located
in the upper right corner of the instrument cluster, to
the right of the speedometer. The oil pressure gauge
consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer con-
trolled by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed
90 degree scale on the gauge dial face that reads left-
to-right from 0 kg/cm to 5.4 kg/cm (metric cluster
for gasoline engines), from 0 kg/cm to 8.3 kg/cm
(metric cluster for diesel engines), or from 0 psi to 80
psi (U.S. cluster), depending upon the market for
which the vehicle is manufactured. An International
Control and Display Symbol icon for ªEngine Oilº is
located on the gauge dial face.
The oil pressure gauge graphics are either white,
gray and orange against a black gauge dial face (base
cluster) or black and gray against a taupe gauge dial
face (premium cluster), making them clearly visible
within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illu-
minated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer
controlled cluster illumination lighting with the exte-
rior lamps turned On, the base cluster white gauge
graphics appear blue-green and the orange graphics
still appear orange, while the premium cluster taupe
gauge dial face appears blue-green with the black
graphics silhouetted against the illuminated back-
ground. The gray gauge graphics for both versions of
the cluster are not illuminated. The orange gauge
needle in the base cluster gauge is internally illumi-
nated, while the black gauge needle in the premium
cluster gauge is not.
WJINSTRUMENT CLUSTER 8J - 25
ODOMETER (Continued)

Base cluster gauge illumination is provided by
replaceable incandescent bulb and bulb holder units
located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board. Premium cluster gauge illumination is pro-
vided by an integral electro-luminescent lamp that is
serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster. The
oil pressure gauge is serviced as a unit with the
instrument cluster.
OPERATION
The oil pressure gauge gives an indication to the
vehicle operator of the engine oil pressure. This
gauge is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit
board based upon cluster programming and elec-
tronic messages received by the cluster from the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Program-
mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus. The
oil pressure gauge 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 igni-
tion switch is in the On or Start positions. The clus-
ter 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 pro-
vides the following features:
²Engine Oil Pressure Normal Message- Each
time the cluster receives a message from the PCM
indicating the engine oil pressure is within the nor-
mal operating range [above 0.28 kg/cm (above 4
psi), the gauge needle is moved to the relative pres-
sure position of the gauge scale.
²Engine Oil Pressure Low Message- Each
time the cluster receives a message from the PCM
indicating the engine oil pressure is about 0.28
kg/cm or lower (about 4 psi or lower), the gauge
needle is moved to the far left (low) end of the gauge
scale. The gauge needle remains at the low end of
the scale until the cluster receives a message from
the PCM indicating that the engine oil pressure is
about 0.56 kg/cm or higher (about 8 psi or higher).
²Communication Error- If the cluster fails to
receive an engine oil pressure message, it will hold
the gauge needle at the last indication for about
twelve seconds or until a new engine oil pressure
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 oil pres-
sure sensor to determine the engine oil pressure. ThePCM then sends the proper engine oil pressure mes-
sages to the instrument cluster. For further diagnosis
of the oil pressure gauge or the instrument cluster
circuitry that controls the gauge, (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING). If the instrument cluster turns on
the check gauges indicator due to a low oil pressure
gauge reading, it may indicate that the engine or the
engine oiling system requires service. For proper
diagnosis of the engine oil pressure sensor, the PCM,
the PCI data bus, or the electronic message inputs to
the instrument cluster that control the oil pressure
gauge, a DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.
OVERDRIVE OFF INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
An overdrive off indicator is standard equipment
on all gasoline engine instrument clusters. The over-
drive off indicator is located in the lower edge of the
tachometer gauge dial face in the instrument cluster.
The overdrive off indicator consists of the words ªO/D
OFFº imprinted on an amber lens. The lens is
located behind a cutout in the opaque layer of the
tachometer gauge dial face overlay. The dark outer
layer of the gauge dial face overlay prevents the indi-
cator from being clearly visible when it is not illumi-
nated. The words ªO/D OFFº appear silhouetted
against an amber field through the translucent outer
layer of the gauge dial face overlay when the indica-
tor 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 overdrive off 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 overdrive off indicator lens is
serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
OPERATION
The overdrive off indicator gives an indication to
the vehicle operator when the Off position of the
overdrive off switch has been selected, disabling the
electronically controlled overdrive feature of the auto-
matic transmission. 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 over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus. These
messages are sent by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) or by the Transmission Control Module
(TCM), depending on the model of the automatic
transmission. The overdrive off indicator bulb is com-

INTRUSION TRANSCEIVER
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
An Intrusion Transceiver Module (ITM) is part of
the premium version of the Vehicle Theft Alarm
(VTA) in the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS)
(Fig. 5). The premium version of the VTA is only
available in vehicles built for certain markets, where
the additional features offered by this system are
required. The ITM is located in the passenger com-
partment. This unit is designed to provide interior
motion detection, and serve as an interface between
the Body Control Module (BCM) and the alarm siren
module.
The ITM is concealed beneath a dedicated molded
plastic trim cover that approximates the size and
shape of a typical dome lamp housing. However,
rather than a lens, the ITM features three sets of
louvered openings. One set of louvered openings is
located at each outboard end of the center rib, while
the third set is centered. Each of the louvered open-
ings is covered on the inside by a sight shield thatextends the length of the center rib. The module is
secured to a mounting bracket above the headliner
(Fig. 6).
Concealed within the housing is the circuitry of the
ITM which includes a microprocessor, and an ultra-
sonic receive transducer. Both the transmit trans-
ducer on the right side of the module and the receive
transducer on the ITM circuit board are aimed
through two small round holes in the sight shield of
the trim cover. The ITM is connected to the vehicle
electrical system by a take out and connector of the
overhead wire harness that is integral to the head-
liner.
The ITM unit cannot be adjusted or repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. The ITM is
serviced as a unit with the trim cover.
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Intrusion Transceiver
Module (ITM) contains the motion sensor logic cir-
cuits and controls all of the features of the premium
version of the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA). The ITM
uses On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communi-
cate with other modules in the vehicle as well as
with the DRBIIItscan tool using the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network.
This method of communication is used by the ITM to
communicate with the Body Control Module (BCM)
and for diagnosis and testing. The ITM also commu-
nicates with the alarm siren over a dedicated serial
bus circuit.

HOOD AJAR SWITCH (Continued)

The cigar lighter relay cannot be repaired or
adjusted and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a
resistor or diode, and three (two fixed and one mov-
able) electrical contacts. The movable (common feed)
relay contact is held against one of the fixed contacts
(normally closed) by spring pressure. When the elec-
tromagnetic coil is energized, it draws the movable
contact away from the normally closed fixed contact,
and holds it against the other (normally open) fixed
contact.
When the electromagnetic coil is de-energized,
spring pressure returns the movable contact to the
normally closed position. The resistor or diode is con-
nected in parallel with the electromagnetic coil in the
relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes that are
produced when the coil is de-energized.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER OUTLET
RELAY
The power outlet / cigar lighter relay (Fig. 16) is
located in the junction block, below the driver side
end of the instrument panel in the passenger com-
partment. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to
Horn/Cigar Lighter/Power Outletin Wiring Dia-
grams.
WARNING: REFER TO RESTRAINTS BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING
COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT
DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE
PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCI-
DENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
(1) Remove the power outlet / cigar lighter relay
from the junction block. Refer to the procedure in
this group.
(2) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and
no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (elec-
tromagnet) should be 75   5 ohms. If OK, go to Step
4. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(4) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, perform the Relay Circuit Test that
follows. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - RELAY CIRCUIT TEST
(1) The relay common feed terminal cavity (30) of
the junction block is connected to battery voltage and
should be hot at all times. Check for battery voltage
at the fused B(+) circuit cavity in the junction block
receptacle for the cigar lighter relay. If OK, go to
Step 2. If not OK, repair the fused B(+) circuit to the
Power Distribution Center (PDC) fuse as required.
(2) The relay normally closed terminal (87A) is
connected to terminal 30 in the de-energized position,
but is not used for this application. Go to Step 3.
(3) The relay normally open terminal (87) is con-
nected to the common feed terminal (30) in the ener-
gized position. This terminal supplies battery voltage
to the fused B(+) fuse in the junction block that feeds
the cigar lighter when the relay is energized by the
ignition switch. There should be continuity between
the junction block cavity for relay terminal 87 and
the fused B(+) fuse in the junction block at all times.
If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open fused
B(+) circuit to the junction block fuse as required.
(4) The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. It receives battery
feed to energize the cigar lighter relay when the igni-
tion switch is in the Accessory or On positions. Turn
the ignition switch to the On position. Check for bat-
tery voltage at the fused ignition switch output (acc/
run) circuit cavity for relay terminal 85 in the
junction block receptacle for the cigar lighter relay. If
OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the open fused
ignition switch output (acc/run) circuit to the ignition
switch as required.
(5) The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. The junction block
cavity for this terminal should have continuity to
