OPERATION
The multi-function switch uses a combination of
resistor multiplexed and conventionally switched out-
puts to control the many functions and features it
provides. The switch receives battery current on a
fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit from a
fuse in the Junction Block (JB) whenever the ignition
switch is in the On or Accessory positions. The switch
receives a path to ground at all times through a
splice block located in the instrument panel wire har-
ness with an eyelet terminal connector that is
secured by a nut to a ground stud on the driver side
instrument panel end bracket near the Junction
Block (JB). Following are descriptions of how each of
the two multi-function switch control stalks operate
to control the functions and features they provide.
LEFT CONTROL STALK The left (lighting) control
stalk of the multi-function switch operates as follows:
²Front Fog Lamps- For vehicles so equipped,
the control knob on the end of the multi-function
switch left (lighting) control stalk is pulled outward
to activate the optional front fog lamps. The control
knob is mechanically keyed so that it cannot be
pulled outward unless it is first rotated to turn on
the exterior lighting. The multi-function switch pro-
vides a resistor multiplexed output to the Body Con-
trol Module (BCM) on a fog lamp switch sense
circuit, and the BCM responds by energizing or de-
energizing the front fog lamp relay in the Junction
Block (JB) as required.
²Headlamps-
The control knob on the end of the
multi-function switch left (lighting) control stalk is
rotated forward (counterclockwise) to its second detent
position to activate the headlamps. The multi-function
switch provides a resistor multiplexed output to the
Body Control Module (BCM) on a headlamp switch
sense circuit, and the BCM responds by energizing or
de-energizing the selected low or high beam relay
(Daytime Running Lamp relay in Canadian vehicles)
in the Junction Block (JB) as required.
²Headlamp Beam Selection-The left (lighting)
control stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled
towards the steering wheel past a detent to actuate
the integral beam select switch circuitry. Each time the
control stalk is activated in this manner, the opposite
headlamp beam from what is currently selected will be
energized. The multi-function switch provides a ground
output to the Body Control Module (BCM) on a high
beam switch sense circuit, and the BCM responds by
energizing or de-energizing the selected low or high
beam relay (Daytime Running Lamp relay in Canadian
vehicles) in the Junction Block (JB) as required.

TRAILER TOW RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The trailer tow relays are located in a connector
bank above the right rear wheelhouse and behind the
quarter trim panel on vehicles equipped with the
optional factory-installed trailer towing package.
Four individual relays are used, one each for fused
ignition switch output (run), brake lamps, right turn
signal, and left turn signal outputs to a trailer
through the rear body wiring and connectors. The
trailer tow relays are conventional International
Standards Organization (ISO) micro relays (Fig. 64).
Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have
common physical dimensions, current capacities, ter-
minal patterns, and terminal functions. The relay is
contained within a small, rectangular, molded plastic
housing and is connected to all of the required inputs
and outputs by five integral male spade-type termi-
nals that extend from the bottom of the relay base.
The trailer tow relays cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the inoperative
relay must be replaced.
OPERATION
The trailer tow relays are electromechanical
switches. The relays each use an input from the cir-
cuit that they isolate from the trailer wiring to con-
trol a high current output to the trailer. The movable
common feed contact point is held against the fixed
normally closed contact point by spring pressure.When the relay coil is energized, an electromagnetic
field is produced by the coil windings. This electro-
magnetic field draws the movable relay contact point
away from the fixed normally closed contact point,
and holds it against the fixed normally open contact
point. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring
pressure returns the movable contact point back
against the fixed normally closed contact point. A
resistor is connected in parallel with the relay coil in
the relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and
electromagnetic interference that can be generated as
the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The terminals of each trailer tow relay are con-
nected to the vehicle electrical system through a con-
nector bank in the rear lighting wire harness above
the right rear wheelhouse. 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. The trailer tow relays can be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and methods.

TRAILER TOW WIRING
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with an optional factory-in-
stalled (not dealer-installed or port-installed) trailer
towing package have a rear body wire harness that
includes an integral trailer tow wiring take out that
connects to a heavy duty, sealed, 7-pin trailer tow
connector located on a bracket on the trailer hitch
receiver (Fig. 68). This harness includes a second
take out with a trailer tow relay connector bank and
four trailer tow relays that isolate the right turn sig-
nal, left turn signal, and brake lamp circuits of the
vehicle from the electrical system of the trailer. The
fourth relay in the connector bank provides a fused
ignition switch output (run) source of battery current
to the trailer tow connector through a trailer tow
relay output circuit. The package also includes an
adapter harness (stored beneath the left rear seat
cushion of the vehicle when it is shipped from the
factory) that adapts the 7-pin trailer tow connector to
a standard, light-duty, 4-pin trailer tow connector.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wir-
ing information includes wiring diagrams, proper

LAMP BAR
DESCRIPTION
The lamp bar is used to better illuminate the driv-
ers field of vision under certain driving conditions. It
consists of a cover, two or four lamp assemblies
(depending upon which market), and a wiring har-
ness. These components are mounted to a reinforce-
ment, then sealed and secured to the roof panel.
Lamp bar illumination is controlled by a manually
operated momentary rocker switch, mounted to the
instrument panel. The lamps are adjustable in the
vertical position only.
OPERATION
Battery and ignition voltage are supplied to the
lamp bar switch assembly. When the switch is in the
on position the internal relay contacts close, complet-
ing the circuit through the lamp bar bulbs, to
ground. The lamp bar assembly is grounded to the
chassis. The hard wired circuits of the lamp bar may
be diagnosed and tested using conventional methods
and procedures.

COMPASS/MINI-TRIP
COMPUTER
DESCRIPTION
The Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) is
located in the overhead console on models equipped
with this option. The Compass Mini-Trip Computer
module features a large Vacuum Fluorescent Display
(VFD) screen for displaying information, and four
back-lit push button function switches labeled C/T
(compass/thermometer), RESET, STEP, and US/M
(United States/Metric Scale).
The Compass Mini-Trip Computer module contains
a central processing unit and interfaces 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, reduce internal controller hardware,
and reduce component sensor current loads. At the
same time, this system provides increased reliability,
enhanced diagnostics, and allows the addition of
many new feature capabilities.
The Compass Mini-Trip Computer module contains
six informational displays which can be displayed
using the four outer buttons on the overhead console.
When the vehicle is first turned ON:
²CMTC blanks the display for a half second
²Displays whatever was being viewed when the
ignition was last turned OFF
Fig. 5 Variance Settings
8M - 4 MESSAGE SYSTEMSKJ
OVERHEAD CONSOLE (Continued)

The CMTC may also be integrated with the Uni-
versal Transmitter. If so, your CMTC module will
have three buttons centered together between the
outer four buttons. Below the three buttons are cor-
responding dots to indicate which button you are
using.
The Compass Mini-Trip Computer includes the fol-
lowing display options:
²Compass and thermometer- provides the out-
side temperature and one of eight compass readings
to indicate the direction the vehicle is facing.
²Average fuel economy- shows the average
fuel economy since the last trip computer reset.
²Distance to empty- shows the estimated dis-
tance that can be travelled with the fuel remaining
in the fuel tank. This estimated distance is computed
using the average miles-per-gallon from the last 30
gallons of fuel used.
²Instant fuel economy- shows the present fuel
economy based upon the current vehicle distance and
fuel used information.
²Trip odometer- shows the distance travelled
since the last trip computer reset.
²Elapsed time- shows the accumulated igni-
tion-on time since the last trip computer reset.
²Blank screen- the CMTC compass/thermome-
ter/trip computer VFD is turned off.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional Univer-
sal Transmitter transceiver, the CMTC will also dis-
play messages and an icon indicating when the
Universal Transmitter is being trained, which of the
three transmitter buttons is transmitting, and when
the transceiver is cleared.
Data input for all CMTC functions, including VFD
dimming level, is received through PCI data bus
messages. The CMTC module uses its internal pro-
gramming and all of its data inputs to calculate and
display the requested data. If the data displayed is
incorrect, perform the self-diagnostic tests as
described in this group. If these tests prove inconclu-
sive, the use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the proper
Diagnostic Procedures manual are recommended for
further testing of the CMTC module and the PCI
data bus.
The CMTC module cannot be repaired, and is
available for service only as a unit. This unit
includes the push button switches and the plastic
module and display lens. If any of these components
is faulty or damaged, the complete CMTC module
must be replaced. The incandescent bulbs used for
CMTC push button back-lighting are available for
service replacement.
DESCRIPTION - COMPASS
While in the compass/thermometer mode, the com-
pass will display the direction in which the vehicle ispointed using the eight major compass headings
(Examples: north is N, northeast is NE). The self-cal-
ibrating compass unit requires no adjusting in nor-
mal use. The only calibration that may prove
necessary is to drive the vehicle in three complete
circles at 5 to 8 kilometers-per-hour (3 to 5 miles-per-
hour), on level ground, in not less than forty-eight
seconds. This will reorient the compass unit to its
vehicle.
The compass unit also will compensate for magne-
tism the body of the vehicle may acquire during nor-
mal use. However, avoid placing anything magnetic
directly on the roof of the vehicle. Magnetic mounts
for an antenna, a repair order hat, or a funeral pro-
cession flag can exceed the compensating ability of
the compass unit if placed on the roof panel. Mag-
netic bit drivers used on the fasteners that hold the
overhead console assembly to the roof header can
also affect compass operation. If the vehicle roof
should become magnetized, the demagnetizing and
calibration procedures found in this group may be
required to restore proper compass operation.
DESCRIPTION - THERMOMETER
The thermometer displays the outside ambient
temperature in whole degrees. The temperature dis-
play can be toggled from Fahrenheit to Celsius by
using the U.S./Metric button. The displayed temper-
ature is not an instant reading of conditions, but an
average temperature. It may take the thermometer
display several minutes to respond to a major tem-
perature change, such as driving out of a heated
garage into winter temperatures.
When the ignition switch is turned to the Off posi-
tion, the last displayed temperature reading stays in
the Body Control Module (BCM) unit memory. When
the ignition switch is turned to the On position
again, the CMTC will display the memory tempera-
ture for one minute; then update the display to the
current average temperature reading within five
minutes.
The thermometer function is supported by an
ambient temperature sensor. The sensor is mounted
outside the passenger compartment near the front
and center of the vehicle, and is hard wired to the
Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM sends tem-
perature status messages to the CMTC module over
the PCI data bus network. The ambient temperature
sensor is available as a separate service item, refer to
additional information later in this section.
OPERATION
The compass mini-trip computer operates when the
ignition is in the ON position. The VFD will display
the last display before ignition was turned OFF. The
four outer buttons operate:
KJMESSAGE SYSTEMS 8M - 5
COMPASS/MINI-TRIP COMPUTER (Continued)

and the BCM use the DRB llltscan tool and proper
Body Diagnostic Procedure Manual.
INSTANTANEOUS FUEL ECONOMY
The compass mini-trip computer receives instanta-
neous fuel economy information from the BCM over
the PCI bus line. If compass mini-trip computer dis-
plays a dash (-) instead of an instantaneous fuel
economy value, it is not receiving a PCI bus message
for the instantaneous fuel economy from the BCM. To
check out the PCI bus line and the BCM use the
DRB llltscan tool and proper Body Diagnostic Pro-
cedure Manual.
TRIP ODOMETER
The compass mini-trip computer receives trip
odometer information from the Cluster over the PCI
bus line. If compass mini-trip computer displays
dashes - - instead of the trip odometer value, it is not
receiving a PCI bus message for the trip odometer
from the cluster. To check out the PCI bus line and
the Cluster, use the DRB llltscan tool and proper
Body Diagnostic Procedure Manual.
ELAPSED TIME
The compass mini-trip computer receives a PCI
bus message containing elapsed time information. If
compass mini-trip computer displays dashes --
instead of the elapsed time, it is not receiving a PCI
bus message for the elapsed time from the BCM. To
check out the PCI bus line and the BCM, use the
DRB llltscan tool and proper Body Diagnostic Pro-
cedure Manual.
COMPASS DISPLAY
To display the vehicle direction, the compass mini-
trip computer processes information from a sensor
internal to the module. The compass mini-trip com-
puter is self- calibrating and requires only variance
adjustments dependent upon location. The compass
mini-trip computer displays the label CAL whenever
the compass is in the fast calibration mode.
If all three of the following conditions listed below
occur, the vehicle must be demagnetized.
²Compass portion of the display is blank
²Temperature portion of the display is OK
²The label CAL is illuminated
If demagnetizing the vehicle is needed, refer to the
demagnetizing procedure in this section. After
demagnetizing, to calibrate the compass refer to Cal-
ibration Procedure and to set the variance refer to
Variance Procedure, both within this section. If the
compass portion of the display is still blank, replace
the compass mini-trip computer.

UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER
DESCRIPTION
On some KJ models a Universal Transmitter trans-
ceiver is standard factory-installed equipment. The
universal transmitter transceiver is integral to the
Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC), which is
located in the overhead console. The only visible com-
ponent of the universal transmitter are the three
transmitter push buttons (Fig. 7) centered between
the four CMTC push buttons located just rearward of
the CMTC display screen in the overhead console.
The three universal transmitter push buttons are
identified with one, two or three light indicators so
that they be easily identified by sight or by feel.
Each of the three universal transmitter push but-
tons controls an independent radio transmitter chan-
nel. Each of these three channels can be trained totransmit a different radio frequency signal for the
remote operation of garage door openers, motorized
gate openers, home or office lighting, security sys-
tems or just about any other device that can be
equipped with a radio receiver in the 286 to 399
MegaHertz (MHz) frequency range for remote opera-
tion. The universal transmitter is capable of operat-
ing systems using either rolling code or non-rolling
code technology.
The CMTC module displays messages and a small
house-shaped icon with one, two or three dots corre-
sponding to the three transmitter buttons to indicate
the status of the Universal Transmitter.
The Universal Transmitter cannot be repaired, and
is available for service only as a unit with the CMTC
module. This unit includes the push button switches
and the plastic module and display lens. If any of
these components is faulty or damaged, the complete
CMTC module must be replaced.
OPERATION
The universal transmitter operates on a non-
switched source of battery current so the unit will
remain functional, regardless of the ignition switch
position. For more information on the features, pro-
gramming procedures and operation of the universal
transmitter, see the owner's manual in the vehicle
glove box.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - UNIVERSAL
TRANSMITTER
If the Universal Transmitter is inoperative, but the
Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) is operating
normally, see the owner's manual in the vehicle glove
box for instructions on training the universal trans-
mitter. Retrain the universal transmitter with a
known good transmitter as instructed in the owner's
manual and test the universal transmitter operation
again. If the unit is still inoperative, replace the
faulty universal transmitter and CMTC module as a
unit. If both the universal transmitter and the CMTC
module are inoperative, refer toDiagnosis and
Testing the Compass Mini-Trip Computerin this
section for further diagnosis. For complete circuit
diagrams, refer toOverhead Consolein Wiring
