OPERATION
The rear fog 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 rear fog 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 rear fog 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 rear fog lamp relay include:
²Common Feed Terminal- The common feed
terminal (30) receives battery current at all times
from a fuse in the JB through a fused B(+) circuit.
²Coil Ground Terminal- The coil ground termi-
nal (85) is connected to a control output of the pre-
mium Body Control Module (BCM) through a rear
fog lamp relay control circuit. The BCM controls rear
fog 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 JB through a fused B(+) circuit.
²Normally Open Terminal- The normally open
terminal (87) is connected to the rear fog lamps
through a rear fog lamp relay output circuit and pro-
vides battery current to the rear fog lamps whenever
the relay is energized.
²Normally Closed Terminal- The normally
closed terminal (87A) is not connected in this appli-
cation.
The rear fog lamp relay can be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and methods.

AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Ambient air temperature is monitored by the Com-
pass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) through ambient
temperature sensor messages received from the Body
Control Module (BCM) over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus network. The
BCM receives a hard wired input from the ambient
temperature sensor. The ambient temperature sensor
(Fig. 8) is a variable resistor mounted in front the
radiator, behind the grille, near the center of the
vehicle.
Refer toBody Control Modulein Electronic Con-
trol Modules. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The ambient
temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable
resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent to it by the BCM. The resistance in the sensor
changes as temperature changes, changing the tem-
perature sensor signal circuit voltage to the BCM.
Based upon the resistance in the sensor, the BCM
senses a specific voltage on the temperature sensor
signal circuit, which it is programmed to correspond
to a specific temperature. The BCM then sends the
proper ambient temperature messages to the CMTC
over the PCI data bus.
The thermometer function is supported by the
ambient temperature sensor, a wiring circuit, the
Body Control Module (BCM), the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus, and a por-
tion of the Compass Mini-Trip Computer module.
The ambient temperature sensor circuit can also be
diagnosed by referring toDiagnosis and Testing -
Ambient Temperature Sensor, and Diagnosis
and Testing - Ambient Temperature Sensor Cir-
cuit. If the temperature sensor and circuit are con-
firmed to be OK, but the temperature display is
inoperative or incorrect, refer toDiagnosis and
Testing - Compass Mini-Trip Computerin this
section. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the
appropriate wiring information.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.

ness connector.
(2) Measure the resistance of the ambient temper-
ature sensor. At ±40É C (±40É F), the sensor resis-
tance is 336 kilohms. At 55É C (140É F), the sensor
resistance is 2.488 kilohms. The sensor resistance
should read between these two values. If OK, refer to
Diagnosis and Testing - Ambient Temperature

that the PCI data bus is functional, that all of
the electronic modules are sending and receiv-
ing the proper messages on the PCI data bus,
and that the power lock motors are being sent

them to perform their power lock system func-
tions.
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
hard wired components and circuits of the power lock
system. However, these tests may not prove conclu-
sive in the diagnosis of this system. In order to
obtain conclusive testing of the power lock system,
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
data bus network and all of the electronic modules
that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from the
power lock system components must be checked.
The Body Control Module (BCM) will set Diagnos-
tic Trouble Codes (DTC) for the power lock system.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire

PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS
As a preliminary diagnosis for the power lock sys-
tem, note the system operation while you actuate
both the Lock and Unlock functions with the power
lock switches and with the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter. Then, proceed as follows:
²If the entire power lock system fails to function
with either the power lock switches or the RKE
transmitter, check the fused B(+) fuse in the junction
Block (JB).
²If the power lock system functions with both
power lock switches, but not with the RKE transmit-
ter, proceed to diagnosis of the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) system. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
LOCKS/KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER - DIAG-
NOSIS AND TESTING) or (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/POWER LOCKS/REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
MODULE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
²If the power lock system functions with the RKE
transmitter, but not with one or both power lock
switches, proceed to diagnosis of the door lock
switches. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
LOCKS/POWER LOCK SWITCH - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING).
²If the driver side power lock switch operates
only the driver side front door power lock motor, but
all other power lock motors operate with the passen-
ger side power lock switch or the RKE transmitter,
use a DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diagnos-tic information to diagnose the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus.
²If only one power lock motor fails to operate
with both power lock switches and the RKE trans-
mitter, proceed to diagnosis of the power lock motor.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS/POWER
LOCK MOTOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

DOOR LOCK RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The power door lock system uses the following
relays for the front and rear passenger doors only:
²Driver door unlock relay
²Door lock relay
²Passenger Doors unlock relay
The tailgate uses outputs from the Body Control
Module (BCM).
The relays are electromechanical devices that
switch battery current to the door lock circuit when
the Body Control Module (BCM) grounds the relay
coil. These relays are located in the Junction Block
(JB). For complete circuit diagrams, 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.
The relays are a International Standards Organi-
zation (ISO) micro-relay. Relays conforming to the
ISO specifications have common physical dimensions,
current capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal
functions. The ISO micro-relay terminal functions
are the same as a conventional ISO relay. However,
the ISO micro-relay terminal pattern (or footprint) is
different, the current capacity is lower, and the phys-
ical dimensions are smaller than those of the conven-
tional ISO relay.
The relay cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a
resistor and three (two fixed and one movable) elec-
trical contacts. The movable (common feed) relay con-
tact 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.

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
When an RKE lock message is sent to the Body
Control Module (BCM), the BCM actuates the doors
and the tailgate lock, the interior lighting is turned
off, the horn chirps (if this feature is enabled), the
exterior lamps flash (if this feature is enabled) and, if
the vehicle is so equipped, the Vehicle Theft Security
System (VTSS) is armed. When an RKE unlock mes-
sage is sent to the BCM, the BCM actuates the
driver side front door (or all doors and the tailgate if
this feature is enabled) unlock, the interior lighting
is turned on and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the
VTSS is disarmed.When an RKE panic message is sent to the BCM,
the BCM actuates the driver side front door (or all
doors and the tailgate if this feature is enabled)
unlock, the interior lighting is turned on and, if the
vehicle is so equipped, the VTSS is disarmed. The
panic message will also cause the exterior lamps
(including the headlights) to flash, and the horn to
pulse for about three minutes, or until a second panic
message is sent to the BCM. A vehicle speed of about
25.7 kilometers-per-hour (15 miles-per-hour) will also
cancel the panic event.
Refer to the owner's manual for more information
on the features, use and operation of the RKE sys-
tem.
OPERATION
Whenever the vehicle battery power is interrupted,
the Remote Keyless Module (RKE) Module will retain
all vehicle access codes in its memory. When replac-
ing or adding a key fob transmitter (maximum of 4) a

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.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The

Theft Security System (VTSS) have a door cylinder
lock switch secured to the back of the key lock cylin-
der inside each front door (Fig. 2). The door cylinder
lock switch is a resistor multiplexed momentary
switch that is hard wired in series between the door
lock switch ground and right or left cylinder lock
switch mux circuits of the Body Control Module
(BCM) through the front door wire harness. The door
cylinder lock switches are driven by the key lock cyl-
inders and contain two internal resistors. One resis-
tor value is used for the Lock position, and one for
the Unlock position.
The door cylinder lock switches cannot be adjusted
or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The door cylinder lock switches are actuated by the
key lock cylinder when the key is inserted in the lock
cylinder and turned to the lock or unlock positions.
The door cylinder lock switch close a circuit between
the door lock switch ground circuit and the left or
right cylinder lock switch mux circuits through one of
two internal resistors for the Body Control Module
(BCM) when either front door key lock cylinder is in
the Lock, or Unlock positions. The BCM reads the
switch status through an internal pull-up, then uses
this information as an input for the Vehicle Theft
Security System (VTSS) operation.
The door cylinder lock switches and circuits can be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and
methods.
