BODY CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
A Body Control Module (BCM) is concealed behind
the driver side end of the instrument panel in the
passenger compartment, where it is secured to the
fuse panel side of the Junction Block (JB) with four
screws (Fig. 1). The JB is the interface between the
body, the instrument panel, and the headlamp and
dash wire harnesses. The JB also contains the fuses
and relays used for the interior electrical system of
the vehicle. The BCM is enclosed in a molded plastic
housing with two integral external connector recepta-
cles that connect it to the vehicle electrical system
through two take outs with connectors from the
instrument panel wire harness (Fig. 2). The BCM
also has an integral interface connector concealed on
the back side of the unit that joins it through a con-
nector receptacle that is integral to the JB housing to
the circuitry within the JB. This connector is referred
to as the JB-BCM connector. The combined BCM and
JB are sometimes referred to as the Junction Block
Module (JBM).

ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES (Continued)

There are two different versions of the BCM: base
and premium. The base BCM is a subset of the com-
ponents in the premium version. Basically, the base
version BCM does not support the following features:
Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC), fog lamps
(front and/or rear), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE),
remote radio switches, or Vehicle Theft Security Sys-
tem (VTSS). Both versions of the BCM utilize inte-
grated circuitry and information carried on the
Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) databus network along with many hard wired inputs to
monitor many sensor and switch inputs throughout
the vehicle. In response to those inputs, the internal
circuitry and programming of the BCM allow it to
control and integrate many electronic functions and
features of the vehicle through both hard wired out-
puts and the transmission of electronic message out-
puts to other electronic modules in the vehicle over
the PCI data bus. The electronic functions and fea-
tures that the BCM supports or controls include the
following:
²A/C Select Switch Status- The BCM monitors
an input from, and transmits the status of the A/C
switch on the heater-A/C control.
²Ambient Temperature Data- The premium
BCM monitors and transmits the ambient tempera-
ture sensor input data.
²Cargo Lamp Disable- The BCM monitors an
input from the cargo lamp switch to provide an inte-
rior lighting disable feature.
²Chimes- The chime tone generator is located
on the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
circuit board, but the EMIC goes to sleep with the
ignition switch in the Off position. The BCM provides
a wake-up output to the EMIC based upon inputs
from the key-in ignition switch or the exterior light-
ing switch, then sends electronic chime request mes-
sages to the EMIC for the headlamps-on warning
and key-in ignition warning.
²Door Lock Inhibit- The BCM monitors the
key-in ignition switch and the driver side front door
ajar switch to provide a door lock inhibit feature.
²Exterior Lamp Load Shedding- The BCM
provides a battery saver feature which will automat-
ically turn off exterior lamps that remain on after a
timed interval.
²Exterior Lamp Status- The BCM monitors
the status of the park lamp, low beam, high beam or
Daytime Running Lamp (DRL - Canada only), front
fog lamp (optional), and rear fog lamp (in required
markets only) relays.
²Exterior Lighting Control- The BCM pro-
vides exterior lamp control for standard head and
park lamps, as well as Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL - Canada only), front fog lamps (optional), and
rear fog lamps (in required markets only). This
includes support for features including optical horn
(also known as flash-to-pass) and headlamp time
delay.
²Flip-Up Glass Control- The BCM monitors
the tailgate cylinder lock switch, the tailgate handle
switch, the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) module
inputs and the rear wiper switch to provide control
for the rear flip-up glass actuator.

lock cylinder housing and is concealed beneath the
steering column shrouds. The molded black plastic
housing for the SKIM has an integral molded plastic
halo-like antenna ring that extends from one end.
When the SKIM is properly installed on the steering
column, the antenna ring is oriented around the cir-
cumference of the ignition lock cylinder housing. A
single integral connector receptacle containing six
terminal pins is located on the opposite end of the
SKIM housing from the antenna ring. A stamped
metal mounting bracket secured to the SKIM hous-
ing has a U-shaped clip formation that is used to
secure the unit to the right lower flange of the steer-
ing column jacket.
The SKIM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty
or damaged, the entire SKIM unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) con-
tains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a
microprocessor. The SKIM transmits RF signals to,
and receives RF signals from the Sentry Key tran-
sponder through a tuned antenna enclosed within the
molded plastic antenna ring integral to the SKIM
housing. If this antenna ring is not mounted properly
around the ignition lock cylinder housing, communi-
cation problems between the SKIM and the transpon-
der may arise. These communication problems will
result in Sentry Key transponder-related faults. The
SKIM also communicates over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus with the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the ElectroMe-
chanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) and/or the
DRBIIItscan tool.The SKIM retains in memory the ID numbers of
any Sentry Key transponder that is programmed into
it. A maximum of eight Sentry Key transponders can
be programmed into the SKIM. For added system
security, each SKIM is programmed with a unique
Secret Key code. This code is stored in memory, sent
over the PCI data bus to the PCM, and is encoded to
the transponder of every Sentry Key that is pro-
grammed into the SKIM. Therefore, the Secret Key
code is a common element that is found in every com-
ponent of the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS).
Another security code, called a PIN, is used to gain
access to the SKIM Secured Access Mode. The
Secured Access Mode is required during service to
perform the SKIS initialization and Sentry Key tran-
sponder programming procedures. The SKIM also
stores the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in its
memory, which it learns through a PCI data bus
message from the PCM during SKIS initialization.
In the event that a SKIM replacement is required,
the Secret Key code can be transferred to the new
SKIM from the PCM using the DRBIIItscan tool
and the SKIS initialization procedure. Proper com-
pletion of the SKIS initialization will allow the exist-
ing Sentry Keys to be programmed into the new
SKIM so that new keys will not be required. In the
event that the original Secret Key code cannot be
recovered, SKIM replacement will also require new
Sentry Keys. The DRBIIItscan tool will alert the
technician during the SKIS initialization procedure if
new Sentry Keys are required.
When the ignition switch is turned to the On posi-
tion, the SKIM transmits an RF signal to the tran-
sponder in the ignition key. The SKIM then waits for
an RF signal response from the transponder. If the
response received identifies the key as valid, the
SKIM sends a valid key message to the PCM over
the PCI data bus. If the response received identifies
the key as invalid, or if no response is received from
the key transponder, the SKIM sends an invalid key
message to the PCM. The PCM will enable or disable
engine operation based upon the status of the SKIM
messages. It is important to note that the default
condition in the PCM is an invalid key; therefore, if
no message is received from the SKIM by the PCM,
the engine will be disabled and the vehicle immobi-
lized after two seconds of running.
The SKIM also sends SKIS indicator status mes-
sages to the EMIC over the PCI data bus to tell the
EMIC how to operate the SKIS indicator. This indi-
cator status message tells the EMIC to turn the indi-
cator on for about three seconds each time the
ignition switch is turned to the On position as a bulb
test. After completion of the bulb test, the SKIM
sends indicator status messages to the EMIC to turn
the indicator off, turn the indicator on, or to flash the

STANDARD PROCEDURE - IGNITION-OFF
DRAW TEST
The term Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) identifies a nor-
mal condition where power is being drained from the
battery with the ignition switch in the Off position. A
normal vehicle electrical system will draw from five
to thirty-five milliamperes (0.005 to 0.035 ampere)
with the ignition switch in the Off position, and all
non-ignition controlled circuits in proper working
order. Up to thirty-five milliamperes are needed to
enable the memory functions for the Powertrain Con-trol Module (PCM), digital clock, electronically tuned
radio, and other modules which may vary with the
vehicle equipment.
A vehicle that has not been operated for approxi-
mately twenty days, may discharge the battery to an
inadequate level. When a vehicle will not be used for
twenty days or more (stored), remove the IOD fuse
from the Power Distribution Center (PDC). This will
reduce battery discharging.
Excessive IOD can be caused by:
²Electrical items left on.
²Faulty or improperly adjusted switches.
²Faulty or shorted electronic modules and compo-
nents.
²An internally shorted generator.
²Intermittent shorts in the wiring.
If the IOD is over thirty-five milliamperes, the
problem must be found and corrected before replac-
ing a battery. In most cases, the battery can be
charged and returned to service after the excessive
IOD condition has been corrected.
(1) Verify that all electrical accessories are off.
Turn off all lamps, remove the ignition key, and close
all doors. If the vehicle is equipped with an illumi-
nated entry system or an electronically tuned radio,
allow the electronic timer function of these systems
to automatically shut off (time out). This may take
up to three minutes. See the Electronic Module Igni-
tion-Off Draw Table for more information.

CHARGING SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The charging system consists of:
²Generator
²Electronic Voltage Regulator (EVR) circuitry
within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
²Ignition switch
²Battery (refer to 8, Battery for information)
²Battery temperature sensor
²Generator Lamp (if equipped)
²Check Gauges Lamp (if equipped)
²Wiring harness and connections (refer to 8, Wir-
ing for information)
OPERATION
The charging system is turned on and off with the
ignition switch. The system is on when the engine is
running and the ASD relay is energized. When the
ASD relay is on, voltage is supplied to the ASD relay
sense circuit at the PCM. This voltage is connected
through the PCM and supplied to one of the genera-
tor field terminals (Gen. Source +) at the back of the
generator.
The amount of DC current produced by the gener-
ator is controlled by the EVR (field control) circuitry
contained within the PCM. This circuitry is con-
nected in series with the second rotor field terminal
and ground.
A battery temperature sensor, located in the bat-
tery tray housing, is used to sense battery tempera-ture. This temperature data, along with data from
monitored line voltage, is used by the PCM to vary
the battery charging rate. This is done by cycling the
ground path to control the strength of the rotor mag-
netic field. The PCM then compensates and regulates
generator current output accordingly.
All vehicles are equipped with On-Board Diagnos-
tics (OBD). All OBD-sensed systems, including EVR
(field control) circuitry, are monitored by the PCM.
Each monitored circuit is assigned a Diagnostic Trou-
ble Code (DTC). The PCM will store a DTC in elec-
tronic memory for certain failures it detects. Refer to
Diagnostic Trouble Codes in; Powertrain Control
Module; Electronic Control Modules for more DTC
information.
The Check Gauges Lamp (if equipped) monitors:
charging system voltage,engine coolant tempera-
ture and engine oil pressure. If an extreme condition
is indicated, the lamp will be illuminated. This is
done as reminder to check the three gauges. The sig-
nal to activate the lamp is sent via the CCD bus cir-
cuits. The lamp is located on the instrument panel.
Refer to 8, Instrument Cluster for additional infor-
mation.

WINDOW DEFOGGER
DESCRIPTION - REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
The rear window defogger system will only operate
when the ignition switch is in the run position. When
the defogger switch is in the run position, an electric
heater grid on the rear window glass is energized.
Vehicles with the heated mirror options also have
heater grids located behind the outside rear view
mirror glass. Each of these grids produce heat to help
clear the rear window glass and outside rear view
mirrors of ice, snow, or fog.
OPERATION - REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
The rear window defogger system is controlled by a
switch installed with the HVAC control assembly. An
amber indicator lamp in the switch button will light
to indicate when the rear window defogger system is
turned on. The HVAC control head circuitry, which
contains the defogger system timer logic, monitors
the state of the defogger switch through a hard-wired
input. The instrument cluster circuitry controls therear window defogger system through a hard-wired
control output to the rear window defogger relay. The
rear window defogger timer and logic circuitry cannot
be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
HVAC control head assembly must be replaced.
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 rear window defogger switch is turned
on again during the same ignition cycle, the defogger
system will automatically turn off after about five
minutes.
The rear window defogger system will automati-
cally shut off if the ignition switch is turned to the
Off position, or it can be turned off manually by
depressing the instrument panel switch. Following
are general descriptions of the major components in
the rear window defogger system. Refer to the own-
er's manual in the vehicle glove box for more infor-
mation on the features, use and operation of the
defogger system.

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
circuit to the 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 and outside rear view mirror heat-
ing grids and the defogger switch indicator lamp.
There should be continuity between the cavity for
relay terminal 87 and the rear window defogger relay
output circuit cavities of the rear glass heating grid
connector, both outside rear view mirror heating grid
connectors, and the defogger switch connector at all
times. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open
circuit(s) as required.(4) The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. This terminal is pro-
vided with ground by the instrument cluster rear
window defogger timer and logic circuitry to energize
the defogger relay. There should be continuity to
ground at the cavity for relay terminal 85 when the
defogger switch is turned On. However, with the
defogger relay removed, the defogger switch indicator
lamp will not light to show that the defogger system
is turned On. Be certain that you depress the defog-
ger switch at least twice to confirm that the system
is turned on during this test. If OK, go to Step 5. If
not OK, repair the open circuit to the HVAC control
head as required.
(5) The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. It is connected to
fused ignition switch output voltage and should be
hot when the ignition switch is in the run position.
Check for battery voltage at the cavity for relay ter-
minal 86 with the ignition switch in the run position.
If OK, see the diagnosis for Instrument Cluster in
this group. If not OK, repair the open circuit to the
fuse in the junction block as required.
