tion switch is in any position except On, and elec-
tronic messages are received over the PCI data bus
from the BCM indicating that the exterior lights are
On with the ignition switch in any position except
On, and the status of the driver side front door is not
closed. The BCM uses internal programming and
hard wired inputs from the left (lighting) control
stalk of the multi-function switch, the ignition
switch, and the driver side front door ajar switch to
determine the proper messages to send to the EMIC.
These chimes will continue to sound until the exte-
rior lighting is turned Off, until the ignition switch is
turned to the On position, or until the status of the
driver side front door ajar input changes from not
closed to closed, whichever occurs first.
²Key-In-Ignition Warning- The EMIC chime
tone generator will generate repetitive ªbong-likeº
chime tones at a fast rate when the ignition switch is
in any position except On, and electronic messages
are received over the PCI data bus from the BCM
indicating that the key is in the ignition lock cylinder
with the ignition switch in any position except On,
and the driver side front door is not closed. The BCM
internal programming and hard wired inputs from
the key-in ignition circuitry of the ignition switch,
the ignition switch, and the driver side front door
ajar switch to determine the proper messages to send
to the EMIC. These chimes will continue to sound
until the key is removed from the ignition lock cylin-
der, until the ignition switch is turned to the On
position, or until the status of the driver side front
door ajar input changes from not closed to closed,
whichever occurs first.
²Low Coolant Warning- On vehicles equipped
with a diesel engine, the EMIC chime tone generator
will generate a single ªbong-likeº chime tone when
the ignition switch is first turned to the On position
and a hard wired input from the engine coolant level
sensor to the EMIC indicates that the coolant level is
low for more than about one-quarter second. Any
time after the ignition switch is first turned to the
On position, the EMIC uses internal programming to
check the status of the engine coolant level sensor
inputs about once every second, then adjusts an
internal counter up or down based upon the status of
this input. When the counter accumulates thirty
inputs indicating that the coolant level is low, a sin-
gle chime tone is sounded. This strategy is intended
to reduce the effect that coolant sloshing within the
coolant reservoir can have on reliable chime warning
operation. This warning will only occur once during
an ignition cycle.
²Low Fuel Warning- Each time the ignition
switch is turned to the On position, the EMIC chime
tone generator will generate a single ªbong-likeº
chime tone the first time an electronic message isreceived over the PCI data bus from the PCM
requesting ªLow Fuelº indicator illumination. The
chime will only occur a second time during the same
ignition cycle if another electronic message has been
received from the PCM indicating that there is an
increase in the fuel level equal to about 3 liters (0.8
gallon), then a subsequent electronic message from
the PCM requests ªLow Fuelº indicator illumination.
This strategy combined with filtering performed by
the internal programming of the PCM on the fuel
tank sending unit input is intended to reduce the
possibility of fuel sloshing within the fuel tank caus-
ing multiple low fuel warning chimes during a given
ignition cycle. The EMIC will also respond with the
low fuel warning chime when electronic fuel level
messages are received from the PCM indicating that
the hard wired input to the PCM from the fuel tank
sending unit is an open circuit (greater than full), or
a short circuit (less than empty).
²Low Washer Fluid Warning- The EMIC
chime tone generator will generate a single ªbong-
likeº chime tone when the ignition switch is turned
to the On position and a hard wired input from the
washer fluid level switch to the EMIC indicates the
washer fluid is low for more than about one-quarter
second. Any time after the ignition switch is first
turned to the On position, the EMIC uses internal
programming to check the status of the washer fluid
level switch inputs about once every second, then
adjusts an internal counter up or down based upon
the status of this input. When the counter accumu-
lates thirty inputs indicating that the washer fluid
level is low, a single chime tone is sounded. This
strategy is intended to reduce the effect that fluid
sloshing within the washer reservoir can have on
reliable chime warning operation. This warning will
only occur once during an ignition cycle.
²Overspeed Warning- The EMIC chime tone
generator will generate repetitive ªbong-likeº chime
tones at a slow rate when the ignition switch is in
the On position, and an electronic message received
over the PCI data bus from the PCM indicates that
the vehicle speed is over a programmed speed value.
The PCM uses internal programming and distance
pulse information received over a hard wired vehicle
speed pulse input from the BCM to determine the
proper vehicle speed messages to send to the EMIC.
The BCM uses an internally programmed electronic
pinion factor and a hard wired input from the rear
wheel speed sensor to calculate the proper distance
pulse information to send to the PCM. The electronic
pinion factor represents the proper tire size and axle
ratio information for the vehicle. These chimes will
continue to sound until the vehicle speed messages
are below the programmed speed value, or until the
ignition switch is turned to the Off position, which-

(4) Connect the negative lead of the voltmeter to
the right side bus bar and touch each grid line at its
midpoint with the positive lead (Fig. 3). A reading of
approximately six volts indicates a line is good. A
reading of zero volts indicates a break in the grid
line between the midpoint of the grid line and the
left side bus bar. A reading of ten to fourteen volts
indicates a break between the midpoint of the grid
line and the right side bus bar. Move the positive
lead on the grid line towards the break and the volt-
age reading will change as soon as the break is
crossed.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The rear window defogger relay is a International
Standards Organization (ISO)-type relay. The rear
window defogger relay is a electromechanical device
that switches fused battery current to the rear glass
and outside mirror heating grids, and the indicator
lamp of the defogger switch, when the HVAC control
head rear window defogger timer and logic circuitrygrounds the relay coil. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
HEATED GLASS/REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
RELAY - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)
The rear window defogger relay is located in the
junction block, on the left side of the instrument
panel inboard to the center of the vehicle (just to the
left and above the brake pedal or behind the knee
blocker). The rear window defogger relay cannot be
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a
resistor or diode, and three (two fixed and one mov-
able) electrical contacts. The movable (common feed)
relay contact is held against one of the fixed contacts
(normally closed) by spring pressure. When the elec-
tromagnetic coil is energized, it draws the movable
contact away from the normally closed fixed contact,
and holds it against the other (normally open) fixed
contact.
When the electromagnetic coil is de-energized,
spring pressure returns the movable contact to the
normally closed position. The resistor is connected in
parallel with the electromagnetic coil in the relay,
and helps to dissipate voltage spikes that are pro-
duced when the coil is de-energized.

The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 3.7L
6±cylinder engine is bolted to the right-front side of
the right cylinder head (Fig. 6).
OPERATION
OPERATION - 2.4L
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) sensor con-
tains a hall effect device referred to as a sync signal
generator. A rotating target wheel (tonewheel) for the
CMP is located behind the exhaust valve-camshaft
drive gear (Fig. 7). The target wheel is equipped with
a cutout (notch) around 180 degrees of the wheel.
The CMP detects this cutout every 180 degrees of
camshaft gear rotation. Its signal is used in conjunc-
tion with the Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) to
differentiate between fuel injection and spark events.
It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with
their respective cylinders.
When the leading edge of the target wheel cutout
enters the tip of the CMP, the interruption of mag-
netic field causes the voltage to switch high, result-
ing in a sync signal of approximately 5 volts.
When the trailing edge of the target wheel cutout
leaves the tip of the CMP, the change of the magnetic
field causes the sync signal voltage to switch low to 0
volts.
OPERATION - 3.7L
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) sensor con-
tains a hall effect device referred to as a sync signal
generator. A rotating target wheel (tonewheel) for the
CMP is located at the front of the camshaft for the
right cylinder head (Fig. 8). This sync signal genera-
tor detects notches located on a tonewheel. As the
tonewheel rotates, the notches pass through the sync
signal generator. The signal from the CMP sensor is
used in conjunction with the Crankshaft Position
Sensor (CKP) to differentiate between fuel injection
and spark events. It is also used to synchronize the
fuel injectors with their respective cylinders.
When the leading edge of the tonewheel notch
enters the tip of the CMP, the interruption of mag-
netic field causes the voltage to switch high, result-
ing in a sync signal of approximately 5 volts.
When the trailing edge of the tonewheel notch
leaves then tip of the CMP, the change of the mag-
netic field causes the sync signal voltage to switch
low to 0 volts.

circuit.
FRONT FOG LAMPS
Vehicles equipped with optional front fog lamps
have a premium Body Control Module (BCM), a front
fog lamp relay installed in the Junction Block (JB),
and a front fog lamp switch integral to the left (light-
ing) control stalk of the multi-function switch. The
front fog lamps have a path to ground at all times
through their connection to the front fascia wire har-
ness from two take outs of the headlamp and dash
wire harness with eyelet terminal connectors that
are secured by ground screws to the left inner fender
shield in the engine compartment. The BCM controls
front fog lamp operation by monitoring the exterior
lighting switch input from the multi-function switch,
then energizing or de-energizing the front fog lamp
relay control coil; and, by sending the appropriate
electronic message to the instrument cluster over the
Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus to turn the front fog lamp indicator on or off.
When the front fog lamp relay is energized, it pro-
vides battery current from a fused B(+) fuse in the
JB to the front fog lamps through the front fog lamp
relay output circuit. The BCM provides a battery
saver (load shedding) feature for the front fog lamps,
which will turn these lamps off if they are left on for
more than about eight minutes with the ignition
switch in the Off position. In certain markets where
required, the front fog lamps are also turned off by
the BCM whenever the headlamp high beams are
selected. Each front fog lamp includes an integral
adjustment screw to be used for static aiming the fog
lamp beams.
HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
With the hazard switch in the On position, the
hazard warning system is activated causing the haz-
ard switch button illumination lamp, the right and
left turn signal indicators, and the right and left turn
signal lamps to flash on and off. When the hazard
warning system is activated, the circuitry within the
hazard switch and electronic combination flasher
unit will repeatedly energize and de-energize two
internal relays that switch battery current from a
fused B(+) fuse in the Junction Block (JB) to the
right side and left side turn signal indicators, and
turn signal lamps through the right and left turn sig-
nal circuits. The flashing of the hazard switch button
illumination lamp is performed internally by the haz-
ard switch and combination flasher unit circuit
board. The hazard warning lamps can also be ener-
gized by the Body Control Module (BCM) through ahazard lamp control circuit input to the hazard
switch and combination flasher unit.
HEADLAMPS
The headlamp system includes the Body Control
Module (BCM), a low beam relay installed in the
Junction Block (JB), a high beam relay installed in
the JB (except Canada), a solid state Daytime Run-
ning Lamps (DRL) relay installed in the JB (Canada
only), and the exterior lighting (headlamp and dim-
mer) switches integral to the left (lighting) control
stalk of the multi-function switch. The headlamp
bulbs have a path to ground at all times through
their connection to the grille opening reinforcement
wire harness from two take outs of the headlamp and
dash wire harness with eyelet terminal connectors
that are secured by ground screws to the left inner
fender shield in the engine compartment. The BCM
controls the headlamp operation by monitoring the
exterior lighting switch inputs from the multi-func-
tion switch, then energizing or de-energizing the con-
trol coils of the low beam relay, the high beam relay,
or the solid state circuitry of the DRL relay; and, by
sending the appropriate electronic message to the
instrument cluster over the Programmable Commu-
nications Interface (PCI) data bus to turn the high
beam indicator on or off. When each respective relay
is energized, it provides battery current from a fused
B(+) fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
through a relay (low beam, high beam, or DRL) out-
put circuit and four separate fuses in the JB through
individual fused right and left, low and high beam
output circuits to the appropriate headlamp bulb fil-
aments. The BCM provides a battery saver (load
shedding) feature for the headlamps, which will turn
these lamps off if they are left on for more than
about eight minutes with the ignition switch in the
Off position; and, a headlamp delay feature with a
DRBIIItscan tool programmable delay interval.
Each headlamp includes an integral adjustment
screw to be used for static aiming of the headlamp
beams.
HEADLAMP LEVELING
In certain markets where required, a headlamp
leveling system is provided on the vehicle. The head-
lamp leveling system includes unique headlamp units
equipped with a headlamp leveling actuator motor,
and a rotary thumbwheel actuated headlamp leveling
switch on the instrument panel. The headlamp level-
ing system allows the headlamp beams to be
adjusted to one of four vertical positions to compen-
sate for changes in inclination caused by the loading
of the vehicle suspension. The actuator motors are
mechanically connected through an integral pushrod
to an adjustable headlamp reflector. The headlamp
