OPERATION - IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSE
The ignition circuit sense input tells the PCM the
ignition switch has energized the ignition circuit.
Battery voltage is also supplied to the PCM
through the ignition switch when the ignition is in
the RUN or START position. This is referred to as
the9ignition sense9circuit and is used to9wake up9
the PCM. Voltage on the ignition input can be as low
as 6 volts and the PCM will still function. Voltage is
supplied to this circuit to power the PCM's 8-volt reg-
ulator and to allow the PCM to perform fuel, ignition
and emissions control functions.

indicator on and off. If the SKIS indicator flashes
upon ignition On or stays on solid after the bulb test,
it signifies a SKIS fault. If the SKIM detects a sys-
tem malfunction and/or the SKIS has become inoper-
ative, the SKIS indicator will stay on solid. If the
SKIM detects an invalid key or if a key transponder-
related fault exists, the SKIS indicator will flash. If
the vehicle is equipped with the Customer Learn
transponder programming feature, the SKIM will
also send messages to the EMIC to flash the SKIS
indicator and to generate a single audible chime tone
whenever the Customer Learn programming mode is
being utilized. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE
THEFT SECURITY - STANDARD PROCEDURE -
SENTRY KEY TRANSPONDER PROGRAMMING).
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the igni-
tion switch is turned to the On position, and will
store fault information in the form of Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTC's) in SKIM memory if a system
malfunction is detected. The SKIM can be diagnosed,
and any stored DTC's can be retrieved using a
DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnos-
tic information.

controls the ground for the heated seat switch indi-
cator lamps (LED's).
When a heated seat switch (Driver or Passenger) is
depressed a signal is received by the heated seat
module, the module energizes the proper indicator
LED (Low or High) in the switch by grounding the
indicator lamp circuit to indicate that the heated seat
system is operating. At the same time, the heated
seat module energizes the selected heated seat sensor
circuit and the sensor provides the module with an
input indicating the surface temperature of the
selected seat cushion.
The Low heat set point is about 36É C (96.8É F),
and the High heat set point is about 42É C (107.6É F).
If the seat cushion surface temperature input is
below the temperature set point for the selected tem-
perature setting, the heated seat module energizes
an N-channel Field Effect Transistor (N-FET) within
the module which energizes the heated seat elements
in the selected seat cushion and back. When the sen-
sor input to the module indicates the correct temper-
ature set point has been achieved, the module
de-energizes the N-FET which de-energizes the
heated seat elements. The heated seat module will
continue to cycle the N-FET as needed to maintain
the selected temperature set point.
If the heated seat module detects a heated seat
sensor value input that is out of range or a shorted
or open heated seat element circuit, it will notify the
vehicle operator or the repair technician of this con-
dition by flashing the High and/or Low indicator
lamps in the affected heated seat switch. Refer to
Diagnosis and Testing Heated Seat Systemin
Heated Systems for flashing LED diagnosis and test-
ing procedures. Refer toDiagnosis and Testing
Heated Seat Modulein this section for heated seat
module diagnosis and testing procedures. Also refer
to the Body Diagnostic Manual for additional diagno-
sis and testing procedures.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT
MODULE

DESCRIPTION
The battery holddown hardware includes a plastic
holddown bracket and retaining bolt. The battery
holddown bracket meshes with the battery tray to
secure the battery to the battery tray.
When installing a battery into the battery tray, it
is important that the holddown hardware is properly
installed and that the fastener is tightened to the
proper specifications. Improper holddown fastener
tightness, whether too loose or too tight, can result in
damage to the battery, the vehicle, or both. Refer to
Battery Holddown for the proper installation proce-
dure, including the proper holddown fastener torque
specifications.
OPERATION
The battery holddown secures the battery in the
battery tray. This holddown is designed to prevent
battery movement during the most extreme vehicle
operation conditions. Periodic removal and lubrica-
tion of the battery holddown hardware is recom-
mended to prevent hardware seizure at a later date.
CAUTION: Never operate a vehicle without a battery
holddown device properly installed. Damage to the
vehicle, components and battery could result.

DESCRIPTION
A flexible plastic bubble-wrap style thermal guard
(Fig. 23) slides over the battery case to enclose the
sides of the battery. The thermal guard consists of a
heavy black plastic outer skin and two lighter plies of
plastic that have been formed into a sheet with hun-
dreds of small air pockets entrapped between them.
The resulting material is very similar to the bubble-
wrap used to protect items in many parcel packaging
and shipping applications.
OPERATION
The thermal guard protects the battery from
engine compartment temperature extremes. The tem-
perature of the battery can affect battery perfor-
mance. The air trapped between the plastic plies of
the thermal guard create a dead air space, which
helps to insulate the sides of the battery case from
the air temperature found in the surrounding engine
compartment.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the battery and the battery thermal
guard from the battery tray as a unit. Refer to Bat-
tery Removal for the proper battery removal proce-
dures.
(2) Carefully and evenly slide the battery thermal
guard up off of the battery case (Fig. 24).
INSTALLATION
