SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
There are two separate switch pods that operate
the speed control system. The steering-wheel-
mounted switches use multiplexed circuits to provide
inputs to the PCM for ON, OFF, RESUME, ACCEL-
ERATE, SET, DECEL and CANCEL modes. Refer to
the owner's manual for more information on speed
control switch functions and setting procedures.
The individual switches cannot be repaired. If one
switch fails, the entire switch module must be
replaced.
OPERATION
When speed control is selected by depressing the
ON, OFF switch, the PCM allows a set speed to be
stored in its RAM for speed control. To store a set
speed, depress the SET switch while the vehicle is
moving at a speed between approximately 35 and 85
mph. In order for the speed control to engage, the
brakes cannot be applied, nor can the gear selector
be indicating the transmission is in Park or Neutral.
The speed control can be disengaged manually by:
²Stepping on the brake pedal
²Depressing the OFF switch
²Depressing the CANCEL switch.
The speed control can be disengaged also by any of
the following conditions:
²An indication of Park or Neutral
²The VSS signal increases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the co-efficient of friction
between the road surface and tires is extremely low)
²Depressing the clutch pedal.
²Excessive engine rpm (indicates that the trans-
mission may be in a low gear)

²The VSS signal decreases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the vehicle may have
decelerated at an extremely high rate)
²If the actual speed is not within 20 mph of the
set speed
The previous disengagement conditions are pro-
grammed for added safety.
Once the speed control has been disengaged,
depressing the ACCEL switch restores the vehicle to
the target speed that was stored in the PCM's RAM.
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch will erase the set
speed stored in the PCM's RAM.
If, while the speed control is engaged, the driver
wishes to increase vehicle speed, the PCM is pro-
grammed for an acceleration feature. With the
ACCEL switch held closed, the vehicle accelerates
slowly to the desired speed. The new target speed is
stored in the PCM's RAM when the ACCEL switch is
released. The PCM also has a9tap-up9feature in
which vehicle speed increases at a rate of approxi-
mately 2 mph for each momentary switch activation
of the ACCEL switch.
The PCM also provides a means to decelerate with-
out disengaging speed control. To decelerate from an
existing recorded target speed, depress and hold the
COAST switch until the desired speed is reached.
Then release the switch. The ON, OFF switch oper-
ates two components: the PCM's ON, OFF input, and
the battery voltage to the brake switch, which powers
the speed control servo.
Multiplexing
The PCM sends out 5 volts through a fixed resistor
and monitors the voltage change between the fixed
resistor and the switches. If none of the switches are
depressed, the PCM will measure 5 volts at the sen-
sor point (open circuit). If a switch with no resistor is
closed, the PCM will measure 0 volts (grounded cir-
cuit). Now, if a resistor is added to a switch, then the
PCM will measure some voltage proportional to the
size of the resistor. By adding a different resistor to
each switch, the PCM will see a different voltage
depending on which switch is pushed.
Another resistor has been added to the 'at rest cir-
cuit' causing the PCM to never see 5 volts. This was
done for diagnostic purposes. If the switch circuit
should open (bad connection), then the PCM will see
the 5 volts and know the circuit is bad. The PCM will
then set an open circuit fault.

VEHICLE THEFT ALARM
Models equipped with the Rest-Of-World (ROW)
premium version of the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA)
provide some preliminary diagnostic feedback by illu-minating the security indicator located in the Elec-
troMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC). If the
security indicator illuminates with the ignition
switch in the On position, it indicates that there is a
communication problem between the Intrusion
Transceiver Module (ITM) and the Body Control
Module (BCM), or between the ITM and the siren
module. The BCM will also turn on the security indi-
cator if it receives a message from the ITM indicating
that the ITM has stored a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) for a siren module fault.
The hard wired circuits and components of the
VTA may be diagnosed and tested using conventional
diagnostic tools and procedures. However, conven-
tional diagnostic methods may not prove conclusive
in the diagnosis of the Body Control Module (BCM),
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC),
the Intrusion Transceiver Module (ITM), or the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus
network. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the BCM, the EMIC, the ITM,
and the PCI data bus network inputs and outputs
related to the VTA requires the use of a DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation.

the cowl plenum to the front washer nozzle fittings
beneath the cowl plenum cover/grille panel.
²Front Wiper Arm- The two front wiper arms
are secured with nuts to the threaded studs on the
ends of the two wiper pivot shafts, which extend
through the cowl plenum cover/grille panel located
near the base of the windshield.
²Front Wiper Blade- The two front wiper
blades are secured to the two front wiper arms with
an integral latch, and are parked on the glass near
the bottom of the windshield when the front wiper
system is not in operation.
²Front Wiper Module- The front wiper pivot
shafts are the only visible components of the front
wiper module. The remainder of the module is con-
cealed within the cowl plenum area beneath the cowl
plenum cover/grille panel. The front wiper module
includes the wiper module bracket, four rubber-iso-
lated wiper module mounts, the front wiper motor,
the wiper motor crank arm, the two wiper drive
links, and the two front wiper pivots.
²Multi-Function Switch- The multi-function
switch is located on the top of the steering column,
just below the steering wheel. The multi-function
switch includes a left (lighting) control stalk and a
right (wiper) control stalk. The right control stalk is
dedicated to providing all of the driver controls for
both the front and rear wiper systems. (Refer to 8 -ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/
MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH - DESCRIPTION).
²Washer Fluid Level Switch- The washer fluid
level switch is located in a dedicated hole near the
center of the rearward facing surface of the washer
reservoir, behind the right front wheel house splash
shield.
²Washer Pump/Motor- The reversible electric
washer pump/motor unit is located in a dedicated
hole on the lower outboard side of the washer reser-
voir, behind the right front wheel house splash
shield. This single reversible washer pump/motor
provides washer fluid to either the front or rear
washer system plumbing, depending upon the direc-
tion of the pump motor rotation.
²Washer Reservoir- The washer reservoir is
concealed behind the right front wheel house splash
shield ahead of the right front wheel. The washer
reservoir filler neck is the only visible portion of the
reservoir, and it is accessed from the right front cor-
ner of the engine compartment.
²Wiper High-Low Relay- The wiper high-low
relay is an International Standards Organization
(ISO) micro relay located in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) in the engine compartment near the
battery.
²Wiper On-Off Relay- The wiper on-off relay is

relay located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
in the engine compartment near the battery.
Hard wired circuitry connects the front wiper and
washer system components to the electrical system of
the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to
several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout
the vehicle and retained by many different methods.
These circuits may be connected to each other, to the
vehicle electrical system and to the front wiper and
washer system components through the use of a com-
bination of soldered splices, splice block connectors,
and many different types of wire harness terminal
connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information. The wiring information includes
wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair
procedures, further details on wire harness routing
and retention, as well as pin-out and location views
for the various wire harness connectors, splices and
grounds.
OPERATING MODES The components of the front
wiper and washer system are designed to work in
concert to provide the following operating modes:
²Continuous Wipe Mode- The control knob on
the right (wiper) control stalk of the multi-function
switch has two continuous wipe positions, Low and
High. When selected, these switch positions will
cause the two-speed front wiper motor to operate in a
continuous low or high speed cycle.
KJFRONT WIPERS/WASHERS 8R - 3
FRONT WIPERS/WASHERS (Continued)

²Intermittent Wipe Mode- The control knob on
the right (wiper) control stalk of the multi-function
switch has five minor detent intermittent wipe posi-
tions. When selected, these switch positions will
cause the front wiper system to operate with one of
five delay intervals between complete wipe cycles.
²Mist Wipe Mode- The right (wiper) control
stalk of the multi-function switch has a momentary
Mist position. When selected, this switch position
will operate the front wipers in a low speed continu-
ous cycle for as long as the switch is held closed,
then will complete the current wipe cycle and park
the front wiper blades near the base of the wind-
shield when the switch is released.
²Washer Mode- When the momentary front
wash position of the right (wiper) control stalk of the
multi-function switch is selected with the front wiper
system operating in a continuous wipe mode, washer
fluid will be dispensed onto the windshield glass
through the washer nozzles for as long as the washer
switch is held closed. When the front washer switch
is actuated with the front wiper system operating in
an intermittent wipe mode, washer fluid is still dis-
pensed until the switch is released; however, the
front wipers will operate in a low speed continuous
cycle from the time the washer switch is closed until
several wipe cycles after the switch is released,
before returning to the selected intermittent wipe
mode.
²Wipe-After-Wash Mode- When the momentary
front wash position of the right (wiper) control stalk
of the multi-function switch is selected with the front
wiper system turned Off, the internal circuitry of the
BCM provides a wipe-after-wash feature. When
selected, this feature will operate the washer pump/
motor and the front wipers for as long as the front
washer switch is held closed, then provide several
additional wipe cycles after the switch is released
before parking the front wiper blades near the base
of the windshield.
OPERATION
The front wiper and washer system is designed to
provide the vehicle operator with a convenient, safe,
and reliable means of maintaining visibility through
the windshield glass. The various components of this
system are designed to convert electrical energy pro-
duced by the vehicle electrical system into the
mechanical action of the wiper blades to wipe the
outside surface of the glass, as well as into the
hydraulic action of the washer system to apply
washer fluid stored in an on-board reservoir to the
area of the glass to be wiped. When combined, these
components provide the means to effectively main-
tain clear visibility for the vehicle operator by remov-
ing excess accumulations of rain, snow, bugs, mud, orother minor debris from the outside windshield glass
surface that might be encountered while driving the
vehicle under numerous types of inclement operating
conditions.
The vehicle operator initiates all front wiper and
washer system functions with the right (wiper) con-
trol stalk of the multi-function switch that extends
from the right side of the steering column, just below
the steering wheel. Rotating the control knob on the
end of the control stalk, selects the Off, Delay, Low,
or High front wiper system operating modes. In the
Delay mode, the control knob also allows the vehicle
operator to select from one of five intermittent wipe
Delay intervals. Pulling the right control stalk down-
wards actuates the momentary front wiper system
Mist mode switch, while pulling the right control
stalk towards the steering wheel actuates the
momentary front washer system switch. The multi-
function switch provides hard wired resistor multi-
plexed inputs to the Body Control Module (BCM) for
all of the front wiper system functions, as well as a
separate hard wired sense input to the BCM for the
front washer system function.
The front wiper and washer system will only oper-
ate when the ignition switch is in the Accessory or
On positions. Battery current is directed from a B(+)
fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) to the
wiper and washer system circuit breaker in the Junc-
tion Block (JB) through a fused ignition switch out-
put (run-acc) circuit. The automatic resetting circuit
breaker then provides battery current through a
fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit to the
wiper high/low relay, the wiper on/off relay, and the
park switch within the front wiper motor. A separate
fuse in the JB provides battery current through
another fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit
to the multi-function switch. The multi-function
switch circuitry uses this battery feed and a ground
circuit input to directly control the operation and
direction of the reversible electric washer pump/mo-
tor unit. The BCM uses low side drivers to control
front wiper system operation by energizing or de-en-
ergizing the wiper high/low and wiper on/off relays.
The hard wired circuits and components of the
front wiper and washer system may be diagnosed
and tested using conventional diagnostic tools and
procedures. However, conventional diagnostic meth-
ods may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
Body Control Module (BCM), or the inputs to or out-
puts from the BCM that control the front wiper and
washer system operating modes. The most reliable,
efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the BCM,
or the BCM inputs and outputs related to the various
front wiper and washer system operating modes
requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.
