OPERATION - REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
The rear window defogger system is controlled by a
momentary switch that is integral to the a/c heater
control located in the center stack area of the instru-
ment panel. A Light-Emitting Diode (LED) in the
switch button will light to indicate when the rear
window defogger system is turned on. The BCM,
which contains the rear window defogger system
timer and control logic, monitors the status of the
defogger switch through a hard-wired input. The
BCM then sends control outputs through a hard
wired circuit to energize or de-energize the defogger
relay.
The electrically heated outside rear view mirror
heating grids are also controlled by the rear window
defogger switch. When the BCM receives an input
from the switch, it sends a defogger switch status
message to the DDM and the PDM over the PCI data
bus. The DDM and PDM respond to the defogger
switch status messages by energizing or de-energiz-
ing the battery current feed to their respective out-
side rear view mirror heating grids.
The rear window defogger system will be automat-
ically turned off after a programmed time interval of
about ten minutes. After the initial time interval has
expired, if the defogger switch is turned on again
during the same ignition cycle, the defogger system
will automatically turn off after about five minutes.
The defogger system will automatically shut off if the
ignition switch is turned to the Off position, or it can
be turned off manually by depressing the rear win-
dow defogger switch again.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the rear window defogger system.

IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENTAL
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.For complete circuit diagrams, (Refer to Appropri-
ate Wiring Information). The operation of the electri-
cally heated rear window defogger system can be
confirmed in one of the following manners:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
While monitoring the instrument panel voltmeter,
depress the rear window defogger switch to the On
position. When the rear window defogger switch is
turned On, a distinct voltmeter needle deflection
should be noted.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Depress the rear window defogger switch to the On
position. The rear window defogger operation can be
checked by feeling the rear window or outside rear
view mirror glass. A distinct difference in tempera-
ture between the grid lines and the adjacent clear
glass or the mirror glass can be detected within three
to four minutes of operation.
3. Using a 12-volt DC voltmeter, contact the rear
glass heating grid terminal A (right side) with the
negative lead, and terminal B (left side) with the pos-
itive lead (Fig. 1). The voltmeter should read battery
voltage.
The above checks will confirm rear window defog-
ger system operation. Illumination of the rear win-
dow defogger switch LED indicator means that there
is battery current available at the output of the rear
window defogger relay, but does not confirm that bat-
tery current is reaching the rear glass heating grid
lines.
If the rear window defogger system does not oper-
ate, the problem should be isolated in the following
manner:

(1) Confirm that the ignition switch is in the On
position.
(2) Ensure that the rear glass heating grid feed
and ground terminals are connected to the glass.
Confirm that the ground wire has continuity to
ground.
(3) Check the fused B(+) fuse in the Power Distri-
bution Center (PDC). The fuse must be tight in its
receptacles and all electrical connections must be
secure.
When the above steps have been completed and the
rear glass heating grid is still inoperative, one or
more of the following is faulty:
²Rear window defogger switch
²Rear window defogger relay
²Body Control Module (BCM)
²Rear window grid lines (all grid lines would
have to be broken or one of the feed wires discon-
nected for the entire system to be inoperative).
When the above steps have been completed and the
heated mirror glass heating grid is still inoperative,
one or more of the following is faulty:
²Body Control Module (BCM)
²Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
data bus
²Driver Door Module (DDM) or Passenger Door
Module (PDM)
²Outside rear view mirror heating grids.
If turning the rear window defogger system on pro-
duces a severe voltmeter deflection, check for a short
circuit between the rear window defogger relay out-
put and the rear glass heating grid.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
GRID
DESCRIPTION
The electrically heated rear window glass is stan-
dard equipment on this model. The liftgate flip-up
glass has two electrically conductive vertical bus bars
and a series of horizontal grid lines made of a silver-
ceramic material, which is baked on and bonded to
the inside surface of the glass. These grid lines and
the bus bars comprise a parallel electrical circuit. A
spade type terminal near the top of each bus bar
accept the connectors from the two coiled liftgate
wire harness take outs.
The grid lines and bus bars are highly resistant to
abrasion. However, it is possible for an open circuit
to occur in an individual grid line, resulting in no
current flow through the line. The grid lines can be
damaged or scraped off with sharp instruments. Care
should be taken when cleaning the glass or removing
foreign materials, decals, or stickers from the glass.Normal glass cleaning solvents or hot water used
with rags or toweling is recommended.
A repair kit is available to repair the grid lines and
bus bars, or to reinstall the heated glass terminals.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HEATED GLASS/REAR
WINDOW DEFOGGER GRID - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE)
OPERATION
The rear glass heating grid is energized and de-en-
ergized by the rear window defogger relay. The Body
Control Module (BCM) monitors the rear window
defogger switch. When the BCM receives an input
from the switch, it energizes or de-energizes the rear
window defogger relay through a hard wired control
output. The rear defogger relay switches fused bat-
tery current to the rear window grid lines through
the bus bars. The grid lines heat the rear window
glass to clear the surface of ice, snow or fog. Protec-
tion for the rear glass heating grid circuit is provided
by a fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REAR WINDOW
DEFOGGER GRID
For complete circuit diagrams, (Refer to Appropri-
ate Wiring Information). To detect breaks in the rear
glass heating grid lines, the following procedure is
required:
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Turn the rear window defogger system on. The rear
window defogger switch LED indicator should light.
If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/HEATED GLASS/REAR WINDOW DEFOG-
GER RELAY - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
(2) Using a 12-volt DC voltmeter, contact the rear
glass heating grid vertical bus bar on the right side
of the vehicle with the negative lead. With the posi-
tive lead, contact the rear glass heating grid vertical
bus bar on the left side of the vehicle. The voltmeter
should read battery voltage. If OK, go to Step 3. If
not OK, repair the open rear window defogger relay
output circuit to the rear window defogger relay as
required.
(3) With the positive voltmeter lead still contacting
the rear glass heating grid vertical bus bar on the
left side of the vehicle, move the negative lead of the
voltmeter to a good body ground point. The voltage
reading should not change. If OK, go to Step 4. If not
OK, repair the ground circuit to ground as required.
(4) Connect the negative lead of the voltmeter to
the right side bus bar and touch each grid line at
midpoint C with the positive lead (Fig. 2). A reading
of approximately six volts indicates a line is good. A
reading of zero volts indicates a break in the grid
line between midpoint C and the left side rear glass
heating grid bus bar. A reading of ten to fourteen

not attach the wire harness connectors until the cur-
ing process is complete.
(11) Check the operation of the rear glass heating
grid.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The rear window defogger relay is an electrome-
chanical device that switches fused battery current to
the rear glass heating grid and the Light-Emitting
Diode (LED) indicator of the rear window defogger
switch, when the Body Control Module (BCM) rear
window defogger timer and logic circuitry grounds
the relay coil. The rear window defogger relay is
located in the junction block, under the left end of
the instrument panel in the passenger compartment.
The rear window defogger relay is a International
Standards Organization (ISO) relay. Relays conform-
ing to the ISO specifications have common physical
dimensions, current capacities, terminal patterns,
and terminal functions.
The rear window defogger 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.

RELAY TEST
The rear window defogger relay (Fig. 4) is located
in the junction block, under the left end of the instru-
ment panel in the passenger compartment. Remove
the rear window defogger relay from the junction
block to perform the following tests:
(1) 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 2. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(2) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (elec-
tromagnet) should be 75   10 ohms. If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) 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, refer to theRelay Circuit Test.If
not OK, replace the faulty relay.
RELAY CIRCUIT TEST
(1) The relay common feed terminal cavity (30) is
connected to battery voltage and should be hot at all
times. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the open
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 rear glass heating grid and to the fuse in the
junction block that feeds the rear window defogger
switch LED indicator. There should be continuity
between the cavity for relay terminal 87 and the rear
glass heating grid and the rear window defogger
switch LED indicator at all times. If OK, go to Step
4. If not OK, repair the open rear window defogger
relay output circuit as required.
(4) The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. It is connected to bat-
tery voltage and should be hot at all times. Check for
battery voltage at the cavity for relay terminal 86. If
OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the open fused
B(+) circuit to the PDC fuse as required.
(5) The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. This terminal is pro-
vided with ground by the Body Control Module
(BCM) rear window defogger timer and logic circuitry
to energize the defogger relay. There should be conti-
nuity to the rear window defogger relay control cir-
cuit cavity of the 22-way instrument panel wire
harness connector for the BCM. If OK, use a DRB
scan tool and refer to the Appropriate Diagnostic
Information to test the BCM. If not OK, repair the
open rear window defogger relay control circuit as
required.

REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The rear window defogger switch is integral to the
a/c heater control, which is located in the instrument
panel center stack below the radio receiver. This
momentary switch provides a hard wired ground sig-
nal to the Body Control Module (BCM) each time it is
depressed. A Light Emitting Diode (LED) in the push
button for the rear window defogger switch illumi-
nates to indicate when the rear window defogger sys-
tem is turned on.
The rear window defogger switch and the rear win-
dow defogger switch LED indicator cannot be

repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire a/c
heater control must be replaced. (Refer to 24 - HEAT-
ING & AIR CONDITIONING/CONTROLS/A/C
HEATER CONTROL - REMOVAL)
OPERATION
When the rear window defogger switch push but-
ton is depressed, it momentarily closes the rear win-
dow defogger switch sense circuit for the BCM to
ground. The BCM monitors the rear window defogger
switch sense circuit. Each time the BCM rear win-
dow defogger timer and logic circuitry sees another
input from the switch, it toggles a control output to
the rear window defogger relay. Energizing the rear
window defogger relay provides electrical current to
the rear window defogger grid and to the LED indi-
cator in the switch, which lights to indicate when the
defogger system is turned on. A dedicated fuse in the
junction block protects the rear window defogger
relay output circuit to the LED indicator.

PRELIMINARY TEST
Before testing the individual components in the
heated seat system, check the following:
²If the heated seat switch LED indicators do not
light with the ignition switch in the On position and
the heated seat switch in the Low or High position,
check the fused ignition switch output (run) fuse in
the junction block. If OK, refer toHeated Seat
Switch Diagnosis and Testingin this section. If
not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as
required and replace the faulty fuse.
²If the heated seat switch LED indicators light,
but the heating elements do not heat, check the
power seat circuit breaker in the junction block. If
OK, refer toHeated Seat Element Diagnosis and
Testingin this section of the manual. If not OK,
replace the faulty power seat circuit breaker.
DRIVER HEATED SEAT
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat switches are mounted in the
instrument panel center lower bezel (Fig. 2), 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.
OPERATION
There are three positions that can be selected with
each of the heated seat switches: Off, Low, or High.
When the top of the switch rocker is fully depressed,
the High position is selected and the high position
LED indicator illuminates. When the bottom of the
switch rocker is fully depressed, the Low position is
selected and the low position LED indicator illumi-
nates. When the switch rocker is moved to its neutral
position, Off is selected and both LED indicators are
extinguished.
Both switches provide separate resistor multi-
plexed hard wire inputs to the BCM to indicate the
selected switch position. The BCM monitors the
switch inputs and sends heated seat switch status
messages to the Heated Seat Module (HSM) or the
Memory Heated Seat Module (MHSM) over the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus. The HSM or MHSM responds to the heated seat
switch status messages by controlling the output to
the seat heater elements of the selected seat. The
Low heat position set point is about 36É C (97É F),
and the High heat position set point is about 41É C
(105É F).
