leveling switch is a resistor multiplexed unit that
provides one of four voltage outputs to the headlamp
leveling motors. The headlamp leveling motors will
move the headlamps to the selected position based
upon the voltage input received from the switch. The
headlamp leveling motors and switch have a path to
ground at all times. The headlamp leveling compo-
nents operate on battery current received through
the fused park lamp relay output circuit so that the
system will only operate when the exterior lighting is
turned on.
PARK LAMPS
The park lamps system includes the Body Control
Module (BCM), a park lamp relay installed in the
Junction Block (JB), and the exterior lighting switch
integral to the left (lighting) control stalk of the
multi-function switch. The front park lamp and side
marker or, if equipped, the front position lamp bulbs
each have a path to ground at all times through their
connections 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 rear
park lamp bulbs and license plate lamp have a path
to ground at all times through their connection to the
rear lighting wire harness from a take out of the rear
body wire harness with an eyelet terminal connector
that is secured by a ground screw to the base of the
right D-pillar behind the quarter trim panel. The
BCM controls the park lamp operation by monitoring
the exterior lighting switch inputs from the multi-
function switch, then energizing or de-energizing the
control coil of the park lamp relay. When the park
lamp relay is energized, it provides battery current
from a fused B(+) fuse in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) through a park lamp relay output cir-
cuit and a separate fuse in the JB through a fused
park lamp relay output circuit to the appropriate
lamp bulb filaments. The BCM provides a battery
saver (load shedding) feature for the park 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.
REAR FOG LAMPS
Rear fog lamps are installed on vehicles manufac-
tured for certain markets where they are required.
The rear fog lamp system includes a premium Body
Control Module (BCM), a rear fog lamp relay
installed in the Junction Block (JB), and a rear fog
lamp switch integral to the left (lighting) control
stalk of the multi-function switch. The rear fog lamps
have a path to ground at all times through their con-
nection to the rear lighting wire harness from a takeout of the rear body wire harness with an eyelet ter-
minal connector that is secured by a ground screw to
the base of the right D-pillar behind the quarter trim
panel. The BCM controls rear fog lamp operation by
monitoring the exterior lighting switch input from
the multi-function switch, then energizing or de-ener-
gizing the rear fog lamp relay control coil; and, by
sending the appropriate electronic message to the
instrument cluster over the Programmable Commu-
nications Interface (PCI) data bus to turn the rear
fog lamp indicator on or off. When the rear fog lamp
relay is energized, it provides battery current from a
fused B(+) fuse in the JB to the rear fog lamps
through the rear fog lamp relay output circuit. The
BCM provides a battery saver (load shedding) feature
for the rear fog lamps, which will turn these lamps
off if they are left on for more than about eight min-
utes with the ignition switch in the Off position.
TURN SIGNAL LAMPS
When the left control stalk of the multi-function
switch is moved up (right turn) or down (left turn),
the turn signal system is activated causing the
selected right or left turn signal indicator, and right
or left turn signal lamps to flash on and off. When
the turn signal system is activated, the circuitry
within the turn signal switch and the hazard switch/
electronic combination flasher unit will repeatedly
energize and de-energize one of two internal relays
that switch battery current from a fused ignition
switch output (run) fuse in the Junction Block (JB) to
the right side or left side turn signal indicators and
turn signal lamps through the right or left turn sig-
nal circuits. The ElectroMechanical Instrument Clus-
ter (EMIC) chime tone generator will generate an
audible turn signal cancel warning each time the
vehicle is driven for a distance of about 3.2 kilome-
ters (about two miles) with a turn signal indicator
flashing. The EMIC uses Programmable Communica-
tions Interface (PCI) data bus distance messages
from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and a
hard wired input from the turn signal switch cir-
cuitry of the multi-function switch to determine when
to sound the turn signal cancel warning.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - LAMPS/LIGHTING
- EXTERIOR
The hard wired circuits and components of the
exterior lighting systems may be diagnosed and
tested using conventional diagnostic tools and proce-
dures. However, conventional diagnostic methods
may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the Body
Control Module (BCM), the ElectroMechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC), the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM), or the Programmable Communica-
tions Interface (PCI) data bus network. The most

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 front 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 front 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 front
fog lamp relay control circuit. The BCM controls
front 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 front fog lamps
through a front fog lamp relay output circuit and
provides battery current to the front fog lamps when-
ever the relay is energized.
²Normally Closed Terminal- The normally
closed terminal (87A) is not connected in this appli-
cation.
The front fog lamp relay can be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and methods.

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.
LEFT CONTROL STALK The left (lighting) control
stalk of the multi-function switch supports the fol-
lowing functions and features:
²Front Fog Lamps- For vehicles so equipped,
the internal circuitry and hardware of the multi-
function switch left (lighting) control stalk provide
detent switching for the optional front fog lamps.
²Headlamps- The internal circuitry and hard-
ware of the multi-function switch left (lighting) con-
trol stalk provide detent switching for the

tor as the steering wheel rotates to the right and
returns to center, which will cancel the turn signal
event and release the control stalk from the detent so
it returns to the neutral Off position. When a turn
signal is activated, the multi-function switch provides
a ground output on a right or left turn switch sense
circuit to the combination flasher circuitry within the
hazard switch, and the combination flasher flashes
the turn signal lamps.
RIGHT CONTROL STALK The right (wiper) con-
trol stalk of the multi-function switch operates as fol-
lows:
²Continuous Front Wipe Modes- The control
knob on the end of the multi-function switch right
(wiper) control stalk is rotated to an intermediate
detent that is one detent rearward (counterclockwise)
from the full forward (clockwise) detent to select the
low speed continuous front wiper mode, or to its full
forward (clockwise) detent to select the high speed
continuous front wiper mode. The multi-function
switch provides a resistor multiplexed output to the
Body Control Module (BCM) on a front wiper switch
mux circuit, and the BCM responds by energizing the
wiper on/off relay in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) for the front low speed continuous wipe mode,
or the wiper on/off relay and the wiper high/low relay
in the PDC for the front high speed continuous wipe
mode as required.
²Continuous Rear Wipe Mode- The control
ring on the multi-function switch right (wiper) con-
trol stalk is rotated to the most forward (clockwise)
detent to select the continuous rear wiper mode. The
multi-function switch provides a battery current out-
put to the rear wiper motor on a rear wiper on driver
circuit to signal the rear wiper motor to operate in
the continuous wipe mode.
²Front Washer Mode- The right (wiper) control
stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled towards
the steering wheel to momentarily activate the
washer pump in the front washer mode. The washer
pump will continue to operate in the front washer
mode until the control stalk is released. The multi-
function switch provides a ground output on a
washer pump sense circuit, and battery current on a
washer pump driver circuit to energize the washer
pump in the front washer mode.
²Front Wiper Mist Mode- The right (wiper)
control stalk of the multi-function switch is pushed
towards the floor to momentarily activate the front
wiper motor in the mist mode. The front wiper motor
will continue to operate in the mist mode until the
control stalk is released. The multi-function switch
provides a resistor multiplexed output to the Body
Control Module (BCM) on a front wiper switch mux
circuit, and the BCM responds by energizing the
wiper on/off relay in the Power Distribution Center(PDC) to operate the front wiper motor momentarily
at low speed to provide the front wiper mist mode.
²Intermittent Front Wipe Mode- The control
knob on the end of the multi-function switch right
(wiper) control stalk is rotated to one of five minor
intermediate detents to select the desired intermit-
tent front wipe delay interval. The control knob is
rotated rearward (counterclockwise) to increase the
delay, or forward (clockwise) to decrease the delay.
The multi-function switch provides a resistor multi-
plexed output to the Body Control Module (BCM) on
a front wiper switch mux circuit, and the BCM
responds by energizing the wiper on/off relay in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC) to operate the front
wiper motor at the selected delay intervals.
²Intermittent Rear Wipe Mode- The control
ring on the multi-function switch right (wiper) con-
trol stalk is rotated to the center detent to select the
intermittent rear wiper mode. The multi-function
switch provides a battery current output to the rear
wiper motor on a rear wiper intermittent driver cir-
cuit to signal the rear wiper motor to operate in the
intermittent wipe mode.
²Rear Washer Mode- The control ring on the
multi-function switch right (wiper) control stalk is
rotated to either the full forward (clockwise) or full
rearward (counterclockwise) momentary positions to
activate the washer pump in the rear washer mode.

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.
