HEATED SEAT MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat module is also known as the Seat
Heat Interface Module. The heated seat module (Fig.
14) is located under the left front seat cushion, where
it is secured to a mounting bracket via two push-pin
retainers. The heated seat module has a single con-
nector receptacle that allows the module to be con-
nected to all of the required inputs and outputs
through the seat wire harness.
The heated seat module is an electronic micropro-
cessor controlled device designed and programmed to
use inputs from the heated seat relay, the two heatedseat switches and the two heated seat sensors to
operate and control the heated seat elements in both
front seats and the two heated seat indicator lamp
Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) in each heated seat
switch. The heated seat module is also programmed
to perform self-diagnosis of certain heated seat sys-
tem functions and provide feedback of that diagnosis
through the heated seat switch indicator lamps.
The heated seat module cannot be repaired. If the
heated seat module is damaged or faulty, the entire
module must be replaced.
OPERATION
The heated seat module operates on fused battery
current received from a fuse in the junction block.
The module is grounded at all times. Inputs to the
module include a resistor multiplexed heated seat
switch request circuit for each of the two heated seat
switches and the heated seat sensor inputs from the
seat cushions of each front seat. In response to those
inputs, the heated seat module controls battery cur-
rent to the heated seat elements and sensors, and

On or Start positions, the trip odometer will be reset
to 0.0 kilometers (miles). The VFD must be display-
ing the trip odometer information in order for the
trip odometer information to be reset.
²Warning Display- The odometer or trip odom-
eter information will be toggled at two second inter-
vals with a warning display when certain monitored
conditions are active. If multiple conditions are
active, the VFD will toggle each active warning and
the odometer/trip odometer information at two sec-
ond intervals. Once the vehicle is moving and a vehi-
cle speed input is received by the instrument cluster,
each active warning will be displayed for three two-
second intervals before the VFD reverts to displaying
only the selected odometer or trip odometer informa-
tion. The warnings and monitored conditions include:
²ªdoorº- A door is open or not fully latched.
²ªgateº- The tailgate is open or not fully
latched.
²ªglassº- The rear flip-up glass is open or not
fully latched.
²ªlowashº- The fluid level in the washer reser-
voir is low.
²ªno busº- The instrument cluster can detect no
PCI bus communication. This message is illuminated
solid when there is no PCI bus communication, and
will override the display of all other active warning
displays.
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 the cluster
is unable to display distance information due to an
error internal to the cluster, ªerrorº will be displayed
in the VFD.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the VFD will step sequen-
tially through a display of ª111111 ºthrough 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 Body Control
Module (BCM), then sends the proper distance mes-
sages to the instrument cluster. For further diagnosis
of the odometer/trip odometer or the instrument clus-
ter circuitry that controls these functions, (Refer to 8
- ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAG-
NOSIS AND TESTING). For proper diagnosis of the
vehicle speed sensor, the BCM, the PCM, the PCI
data bus, or the electronic message inputs to the
instrument cluster that control the odometer/tripodometer, a DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer to
the appropriate diagnostic information.
OVERDRIVE OFF INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
An overdrive off indicator is standard equipment
on all instrument clusters, but is only functional on
vehicles equipped with the optional overdrive auto-
matic transmission. The overdrive off indicator is
located above the fuel gauge and to the left of the
tachometer in the instrument cluster. The overdrive
off indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the
text ªO/D OFFº 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. An amber Light Emitting
Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of
the overlay causes the ªO/D OFFº text to appear in
amber through the translucent outer layer of the
overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the
LED, which is soldered onto 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 control ring on the left control
stalk of the multi-function switch. The overdrive off
indicator 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 electronic circuit
board based upon the 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
overdrive off 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 bat-
tery current input on the fused ignition switch out-
put (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED will
always be off when the ignition switch is in any posi-
tion except On or Start. The LED only illuminates
when it is provided a path to ground by the instru-
ment cluster transistor. The instrument cluster will
turn on the overdrive off indicator for the following
reasons:
²Overdrive Off Lamp-On Message- Each time
the cluster receives an overdrive off lamp-on message

sends the proper vehicle speed messages to the
instrument cluster. For further diagnosis of the
speedometer or the instrument cluster circuitry that
controls the gauge, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IN-
STRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TEST-
ING). For proper diagnosis of the BCM, the PCM, the
PCI data bus, or the electronic message inputs to the
instrument cluster that control the speedometer, a
DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer to the appropri-
ate diagnostic information.
TACHOMETER
DESCRIPTION
A tachometer is standard equipment on all instru-
ment clusters. The tachometer is located to the left of
the speedometer in the instrument cluster. The
tachometer consists of a movable gauge needle or
pointer controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry,
and a fixed 255 degree scale on the gauge dial face
that reads left-to-right from 0 to 7 for gasoline
engines, or from 0 to 5 for diesel engines. The text
ªRPM X 1000º imprinted on the cluster overlay
directly below the hub of the tachometer needle iden-
tifies that each number on the tachometer scale is to
be multiplied by 1000 rpm. The gasoline engine
tachometer has a red zone beginning at 5800 RPM,
while the red zone for the diesel engine tachometer
begins at 4300 RPM. The tachometer graphics are
dark blue and red against a beige field, making them
clearly visible within the instrument cluster in day-
light. When illuminated from behind by the panel
lamps dimmer controlled cluster illumination lighting
with the exterior lamps turned On, the dark blue
graphics appear blue and the red graphics appear
red. The orange gauge needle is internally illumi-
nated. Gauge illumination is provided by replaceable
incandescent bulb and bulb holder units located on
the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The
tachometer is serviced as a unit with the instrument
cluster.
OPERATION
The tachometer gives an indication to the vehicle
operator of the engine speed. This gauge is controlled
by the instrument cluster electronic circuit board
based upon cluster programming and electronic mes-
sages received by the cluster from the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus. The tachome-
ter 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 ignition switch is in the
On or Start positions. The cluster is programmed tomove 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 provides the following
features:
²Engine Speed Message- Each time the cluster
receives an engine speed message from the PCM it
will calculate the correct engine speed reading and
position the gauge needle at that speed position on
the gauge scale. The cluster will receive a new
engine speed message and reposition the gauge
pointer accordingly about every 86 milliseconds. The
gauge needle will continue to be positioned at the
actual engine speed position on the gauge scale until
the ignition switch is turned to the Off position.
²Communication Error- If the cluster fails to
receive an engine speed message, it will hold the
gauge needle at the last indication for about six sec-
onds, or until the ignition switch is turned to the Off
position, whichever occurs first. If a new engine
speed message is not received after about six sec-
onds, the gauge needle will return to the far left
(low) end of the scale.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the gauge needle will be
swept to several calibration points on the gauge scale
in sequence in order to confirm the functionality of
the gauge and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the crankshaft posi-
tion sensor to determine the engine speed, then
sends the proper engine speed messages to the
instrument cluster. For further diagnosis of the
tachometer or the instrument cluster circuitry that
controls the gauge, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IN-
STRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TEST-
ING). For proper diagnosis of the crankshaft position
sensor, the PCM, the PCI data bus, or the electronic
message inputs to the instrument cluster that control
the tachometer, a DRBIIItscan tool is required.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
TRANS TEMP INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A transmission over-temperature indicator is stan-
dard equipment on all instrument clusters, but is
only functional on vehicles equipped with an optional
automatic transmission. The transmission over-tem-
perature indicator is located near the lower edge of
the instrument cluster, between the tachometer and
the speedometer. The transmission over-temperature
indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the words
ªTRANS TEMPº in the opaque layer of the instru-
ment cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the
overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly vis-
KJINSTRUMENT CLUSTER 8J - 33
SPEEDOMETER (Continued)
ible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light
Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the
opaque layer of the overlay causes the ªTRANS
TEMPº text to appear in amber through the translu-
cent outer layer of the overlay when the indicator is
illuminated from behind by the LED, which is sol-
dered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board. The transmission over-temperature indicator
is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
OPERATION
The transmission over-temperature indicator gives
an indication to the vehicle operator when the trans-
mission fluid temperature is excessive, which may
lead to accelerated transmission component wear or
failure. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on
the instrument cluster electronic circuit board based
upon the cluster programming and electronic mes-
sages received by the cluster from the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus. The transmis-
sion over-temperature 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 current input on the fused ignition
switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED
will always be off when the ignition switch is in any
position except On or Start. The LED only illumi-
nates when it is provided a path to ground by the
instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster
will turn on the transmission over-temperature indi-
cator for the following reasons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the transmission over-tem-
perature indicator is illuminated for about three sec-
onds as a bulb test.
²Trans Over-Temp Lamp-On Message- Each
time the cluster receives a trans over-temp lamp-on
message from the PCM indicating that the transmis-
sion fluid temperature is 135É C (275É F) or higher,
the indicator will be illuminated. The indicator
remains illuminated until the cluster receives a trans
over-temp lamp-off message from the PCM, or until
the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
whichever occurs first.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the trans over-temp indi-
cator will be turned on, then off again during the
bulb check portion of the test to confirm the function-
ality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the transmission
temperature sensor to determine the transmission
operating condition. The PCM then sends the proper
trans over-temp lamp-on and lamp-off messages to
the instrument cluster. If the instrument clusterturns on the transmission over-temperature indicator
due to a high transmission oil temperature condition,
it may indicate that the transmission and/or the
transmission cooling system are being overloaded or
that they require service. For further diagnosis of the
transmission over-temperature indicator or the
instrument cluster circuitry that controls the indica-
tor, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). For
proper diagnosis of the transmission temperature
sensor, the PCM, the PCI data bus, or the electronic
message inputs to the instrument cluster that control
the transmission over-temperature indicator, a
DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer to the appropri-
ate diagnostic information.
TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
Two turn signal indicators, one right and one left,
are standard equipment on all instrument clusters.
The turn signal indicators are located near the upper
edge of the instrument cluster, between the speedom-
eter and the tachometer. Each turn signal indicator
consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International
Control and Display Symbol icon for ªTurn Warningº
in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay.
The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents these
icons from being clearly visible when they are not
illuminated. A green Light-Emitting Diode (LED)
behind each cutout in the opaque layer of the cluster
overlay causes the indicator to appear in green
through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED,
which is soldered onto the instrument cluster elec-
tronic circuit board. The turn signal indicators are
serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
OPERATION
The turn signal indicators give an indication to the
vehicle operator that the turn signal (left or right
indicator flashing) or hazard warning (both left and
right indicators flashing) have been selected and are
operating. These indicators are controlled by two
individual hard wired inputs from the combination
flasher circuitry within the hazard switch to the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board. Each turn
signal indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is
grounded on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board at all times; therefore, these indicators remain
functional regardless of the ignition switch position.
Each LED will only illuminate when it is provided
battery current by the combination flasher circuitry
of the hazard switch.

through the trailer tow wiring and connectors.
Hard wired circuitry connects the exterior lighting
system components to the electrical system of the
vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to sev-
eral wire harnesses, which are routed throughout the
vehicle and retained by many different methods.
