no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 2. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(2) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (elec-
tromagnet) should be 60.7 to 80.3 ohms. If OK, go to
Step 3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, see the Relay Circuit Test in this

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.

REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The rear window defogger switch is installed in the
instrument panel HVAC contol head assembly. The
momentary-type switch provides a hard-wired ground
signal to the HVAC control head each time it is
depressed. The instrument cluster rear window
defogger timer and logic circuitry responds by ener-
gizing or de-energizing the rear window defogger
relay.
OPERATION
Energizing the rear window defogger relay pro-
vides electrical current to the rear window defogger
grid and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the outside
rear view mirror heating grids. An amber indicator
lamp in the defogger switch, which lights to indicate
when the defogger system is turned On, is also pow-
ered by the defogger relay output.
The defogger switch illumination lamp and indica-
tor lamp bulbs are serviceable. The defogger switch
cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged the
entire HVAC control head assembly must be
replaced.

perform its many functions. The EMIC module incor-
porates a blue-green digital Vacuum Fluorescent Dis-
play (VFD) for displaying odometer and trip
odometer information, as well as several warning
messages and certain diagnostic information. In addi-
tion to instrumentation and indicators, the EMIC has
the hardware and software needed to provide the fol-
lowing features:
²Chime Warning Service- A chime tone gener-
ator on the EMIC electronic circuit board provides
audible alerts to the vehicle operator and eliminates
the need for a separate chime module. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/CHIME WARNING SYSTEM -
DESCRIPTION).
²Panel Lamps Dimming Service- The EMIC
provides a hard wired 12-volt Pulse-Width Modulated
(PWM) output that synchronizes the dimming level
of the radio display, gear selector indicator, heater-air
conditioner control, and all other dimmable lighting
on the panel lamps dimmer circuit with that of the
cluster illumination lamps and VFD.
The EMIC houses four analog gauges and has pro-
visions for up to twenty-four indicators (Fig. 2). The
EMIC includes the following analog gauges:
²Coolant Temperature Gauge
²Fuel Gauge
²Speedometer
²Tachometer
Some of the EMIC indicators are automatically
configured when the EMIC is connected to the vehi-
cle electrical system for compatibility with certain
optional equipment or equipment required for regula-
tory purposes in certain markets. While each EMIC
may have provisions for indicators to support every
available option, the configurable indicators will not
be functional in a vehicle that does not have the
equipment that an indicator supports. The EMIC
includes provisions for the following indicators (Fig.
2):
²Airbag Indicator (with Airbag System only)
²Antilock Brake System (ABS) Indicator
(with ABS only)
²Brake Indicator
²Charging Indicator
²Coolant Low Indicator (with Diesel Engine
only)
²Cruise Indicator (with Speed Control Sys-
tem only)
²Four-Wheel Drive Full Time Indicator (with
Selec-Trac Transfer Case only)
²Four-Wheel Drive Low Mode Indicator
²Four-Wheel Drive Part Time Indicator
²Front Fog Lamp Indicator (with Front Fog
Lamps only)
²High Beam Indicator
²Low Fuel Indicator²Low Oil Pressure Indicator
²Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
²Overdrive-Off Indicator (with Automatic
Transmission only)
²Rear Fog Lamp Indicator (with Rear Fog
Lamps only)
²Seatbelt Indicator
²Security Indicator (with Vehicle Theft
Security System only)
²Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS)
Indicator (with SKIS only)
²Transmission Overtemp Indicator (with
Automatic Transmission only)
²Turn Signal (Right and Left) Indicators
²Wait-To-Start Indicator (with Diesel Engine
only)
²Water-In-Fuel Indicator (with Diesel Engine
only)
Each indicator in the EMIC is illuminated by a
dedicated Light Emitting Diode (LED) that is sol-
dered onto the EMIC electronic circuit board. The
LEDs are not available for service replacement and,
if damaged or faulty, the entire EMIC must be
replaced. Cluster illumination is accomplished by
dimmable incandescent back lighting, which illumi-
nates the gauges for visibility when the exterior
lighting is turned on. Each of the incandescent bulbs
is secured by an integral bulb holder to the electronic
circuit board from the back of the cluster housing.
The incandescent bulb/bulb holder units are available
for service replacement.
Hard wired circuitry connects the EMIC to the
electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired cir-
cuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which
are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by
many different methods. These circuits may be con-
nected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system
and to the EMIC through the use of a combination of
soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many
different types of wire harness terminal connectors
and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring infor-
mation. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
further details on wire harness routing and reten-
tion, as well as pin-out and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
The EMIC modules for this model are serviced only
as complete units. The EMIC module cannot be
adjusted or repaired. If a gauge, an LED indicator,
the VFD, the electronic circuit board, the circuit
board hardware, the cluster overlay, or the EMIC
housing are damaged or faulty, the entire EMIC mod-
ule must be replaced. The cluster lens, hood and
mask unit and the individual incandescent lamp
bulbs with holders are available for service replace-
ment.
