HEADLAMP LEVELING
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The headlamp leveling switch (Fig. 34) is used only
on vehicles manufactured for certain markets where
the headlamp leveling system is required. The head-
lamp leveling switch is mounted in the driver side
inboard trim bezel on the instrument panel, where it
is secured by molded latch features that are integral
to the switch housing. Only the switch bezel and
thumbwheel are visible on the outer surface of the
instrument panel trim bezel. The black plastic switch
thumbwheel is marked with white numbers ª0,º ª1,º
ª2,º and ª3,º each of which indicates one of the four
switch detent positions. Each higher number repre-sents a lower aiming position of the headlamp beam
relative to the road surface. The black, molded plas-
tic switch housing has an integral connector recepta-
cle on the back, a single latch feature on the top, and
two latch features (one on each side) on the bottom.
The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical sys-
tem through a dedicated take out and connector of
the instrument panel wire harness. Within the
switch housing is the leveling switch circuitry includ-
ing the switch contacts and a series resistor configu-
ration.
The headlamp leveling switch cannot be adjusted
or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must
be replaced.
OPERATION
The headlamp leveling switch receives battery cur-
rent on a fused park lamp relay output circuit from a
fuse in the Junction Block (JB) whenever the park
lamp relay is energized (park lamps are turned On).
The switch receives a path to ground through a splice
block located in the instrument panel wire harness
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 JB. The only output from
the switch is a voltage signal that it provides to the
headlamp leveling motors on a headlamp adjust sig-
nal circuit. Each switch position selects a different
tap on a series resistor within the switch to provide a
different voltage signal to the leveling motors. The
higher the switch position number, the higher the
output voltage level.
The headlamp leveling switch can be tested using
conventional diagnostic tools and methods.

HEADLAMP LOW BEAM RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The headlamp low beam relay is located in the
Junction Block (JB) below the driver side outboard
end of the instrument panel in the passenger com-
partment of the vehicle. The headlamp low beam
relay is a conventional International Standards
Organization (ISO) micro relay (Fig. 37). Relays con-
forming to the ISO specifications have common phys-
ical dimensions, current capacities, terminal
patterns, and terminal functions. The relay is con-
tained 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 headlamp low beam relay cannot be adjusted
or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must
be replaced.
OPERATION
The headlamp low beam relay is an electromechan-
ical switch that uses a low current input from the
Body Control Module (BCM) to control a high current
output to the headlamp low beam filaments. 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 electro-
magnetic field is produced by the coil windings. This
electromagnetic field draws the movable relay con-
tact point away from the fixed normally closed con-
tact point, and holds it against the fixed normally
open contact point. When the relay coil is de-ener-
gized, 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 headlamp low beam relay terminals are con-
nected to the vehicle electrical system through a con-
nector receptacle in the Junction Block (JB). The
inputs and outputs of the headlamp low beam relay
include:
²Common Feed Terminal- The common feed
terminal (30) receives battery current at all times
from a fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
through a fused B(+) circuit.
²Coil Ground Terminal- The coil ground termi-
nal (85) receives battery current at all times from a
fuse in the PDC through a fused B(+) circuit.

HEADLAMP LEVELING SWITCH (Continued)

²Coil Battery Terminal- The coil battery ter-
minal (86) is connected to a control output of the
Body Control Module (BCM) through a low beam
relay control circuit. The BCM controls headlamp low
beam operation by controlling a ground path through
this circuit.
²Normally Open Terminal- The normally open
terminal (87) is connected to the headlamp low beam
filaments through the low beam relay output circuit
and provides battery current to the headlamp low
beams whenever the relay is energized.
²Normally Closed Terminal- The normally
closed terminal (87A) is not connected in this appli-
cation.
The headlamp low beam relay can be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and methods.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEADLAMP LOW
BEAM RELAY
The headlamp low beam relay (Fig. 38) is located
in the Junction Block (JB) under the driver side out-
board end of the instrument panel. Refer to the
appropriate wiring information. The wiring informa-
tion includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and con-
nector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness con-
nectors, splices and grounds.

MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The multi-function switch is located on the steering
column, just below the steering wheel (Fig. 50). The
only visible components of the multi-function switch
are two levers, or control stalks that extend through
dedicated openings in each side of the steering col-
umn shrouds. The remainder of the switch, its
mounting provisions, and its electrical connections
are all concealed beneath the steering column
shrouds. The switch housing and controls are con-
structed of molded black plastic. A saddle-like forma-
tion in the center of the multi-function switch
housing straddles the steering column tube just
below the column lock housing, and two posts inte-
gral to the lower surface of the switch housing
engage two holes on the forward-facing side of the
lock housing. Two integral ledge-like locating tabs
near the top of the rearward facing switch housing
surface are supported and located by two upright
stanchions that extend upward from the top of the
lock housing. Also on the rearward facing switch
housing surface near the center, an integral ledge-
like mounting tab rests on a similar ledge-like tab
that extends from each side of the steering column
lock housing. When the steering column shrouds are
installed on the column, the switch mounting tabs
are clamped along with the mounting tabs of the
clockspring between the integral mounting stan-
chions of the upper shroud and the lock housing tabs,
and are secured to the steering column lock housing
by the same two screws that secure the two shroud
halves to each other and the column.
There are several versions of the multi-function
switch to support both optional equipment and equip-
ment that is required only in certain markets. Each
multi-function switch control stalk has both white
nomenclature and International Control and Display
Symbol graphics applied to it, which clearly identify
its many functions. Each control stalk has a control

knob on its end with a flattened face to allow it to be
easily rotated. On vehicles equipped with optional
front fog lamps, the knob on the end of left control
stalk can also be pulled outward to select those
lamps. Each control stalk also features a knurled
control ring located just below the control knob. The
left control stalk is dedicated to providing driver con-
trols for the interior and exterior lighting systems,
while the right control stalk is dedicated to providing
driver controls for the front and rear wiper systems.
Two integral connector receptacles on the forward
facing surface of the multi-function switch housing
connect the switch two the vehicle electrical system
through two take outs and connectors of the instru-
ment panel wire harness. The left connector recepta-
cle contains nine terminal pins for the lighting
control circuits of the switch, while the right connec-
tor receptacle contains six terminal pins for the
wiper control circuits of the switch. The multi-func-
tion switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.

PARK LAMP RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The park lamp relay is located in the Junction
Block (JB) below the driver side outboard end of the
instrument panel in the passenger compartment of
the vehicle. The park lamp relay is a conventional
International Standards Organization (ISO) micro
relay (Fig. 53). Relays conforming to the ISO specifi-
cations have common physical dimensions, current
capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal functions.
The relay is contained within a small, rectangular,
molded plastic housing and is connected to all of therequired inputs and outputs by five integral male
spade-type terminals that extend from the bottom of
the relay base.
The park lamp relay cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The park lamp relay is an electromechanical
switch that uses a low current input from the Body
Control Module (BCM) to control a high current out-
put to the park lamps. 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 electromagnetic
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 park lamp relay terminals are connected to
the vehicle electrical system through a connector
receptacle in the Junction Block (JB). The inputs and
outputs of the park lamp relay include:
²Common Feed Terminal- The common feed
terminal (30) is connected to the park lamps through
the park lamp relay output circuit and provides
ground to the park lamps when the relay is de-ener-
gized, and battery current to the park lamps when-
ever the relay is energized.
²Coil Ground Terminal-
The coil ground termi-
nal (85) is connected to a control output of the Body
Control Module (BCM) through a park lamp relay con-
trol circuit. The BCM controls park lamp operation by
controlling a ground path through this circuit.
²Coil Battery Terminal- The coil battery ter-
minal (86) receives battery current at all times from
a fuse in the PDC through a fused B(+) circuit.
²Normally Open Terminal- The normally open
terminal (87) receives battery current at all times
from a fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
through a fused B(+) circuit.
²Normally Closed Terminal- The normally
closed terminal (87A) is connected to ground at all
times through a ground circuit that receives ground
through a splice block located in the instrument
panel wire harness 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).
