OPERATION
The six switches in the two remote radio switch units
are normally open, resistor multiplexed momentary
switches that are hard wired to the Body Control Mod-
ule (BCM) through the clockspring. The BCM sends a
five volt reference signal to both switch units on one
circuit, and senses the status of all of the switches by
reading the voltage drop on a second circuit.
When the BCM senses an input (voltage drop) from
any one of the remote radio switches, it sends the
proper switch status messages on the Programmable
Communication Interface (PCI) data bus network to
the radio receiver. The electronic circuitry within the
radio receiver is programmed to respond to these
remote radio switch status messages by adjusting the
radio settings as requested. For diagnosis of the
BCM or the PCI data bus, the use of a DRB scan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual are
recommended.
For more information on the features and control
functions for each of the remote radio switches, refer
to the owner's manual.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REMOTE
SWITCHES
Any diagnosis of the Audio system should
begin with the use of the DRB diagnostic tool.
For information on the use of the DRB, refer to
the appropriate Diagnostic Service Manual.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appro-
priate 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 harness connec-
tors, 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

towards the steering wheel to just before a detent, to
momentarily activate the headlamp optical horn fea-
ture. The high beams will remain illuminated until
the control stalk is released. The multi-function
switch provides a ground output on a high beam
relay control circuit to energize the headlamp high
beam relay (Daytime Running Lamp relay in Cana-
dian vehicles) in the Junction Block (JB) as required.
²Interior Lamps Defeat- The control ring on
the multi-function switch left (lighting) control stalk
is rotated to a full rearward (clockwise) detent to
defeat the illumination of all interior courtesy lamps.
The multi-function switch provides a resistor multi-
plexed output to the Body Control Module (BCM) on
a panel lamps dimmer switch mux circuit, and the
BCM responds by de-energizing its internal courtesy
lamp driver circuit.
²Interior Lamps On- The control ring on the
multi-function switch left (lighting) control stalk is
rotated to a full forward (counterclockwise) detent to
illuminate all interior courtesy lamps. The multi-
function switch provides a resistor multiplexed out-
put to the Body Control Module (BCM) on a panel
lamps dimmer switch mux circuit, and the BCM
responds by energizing its internal courtesy lamp
driver circuit.
²Panel Lamps Dimming- The control ring on
the multi-function switch left (lighting) control stalk
is rotated to one of six minor intermediate detents to
simultaneously select the desired illumination inten-
sity of all adjustable instrument panel and instru-
ment cluster lighting. The control ring is rotated
rearward (clockwise) to dim, or forward (counter-
clockwise) to brighten. The multi-function switch pro-
vides a resistor multiplexed output to the Body
Control Module (BCM) on a panel lamps dimmer
switch mux circuit, and the BCM responds by send-
ing an electronic panel lamps dimming level message
to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
over the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus. The EMIC electronic circuitry then
provides the proper PWM output to the cluster illu-
mination lamps and the VFD on the EMIC circuit
board, then provides a matching PWM output on the
hard wired fused panel lamps dimmer switch signal
circuit.
²Parade Mode- The control ring on the multi-
function switch left (lighting) control stalk is rotated
to an intermediate detent that is one detent rear-
ward (clockwise) from the full forward (counterclock-
wise) detent to select the Parade mode. The multi-
function switch provides a resistor multiplexed
output to the Body Control Module (BCM) on a panel
lamps dimmer switch mux circuit, and the BCM
responds by sending an electronic panel lamps dim-
ming level message to the ElectroMechanical Instru-ment Cluster (EMIC) over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus. The EMIC
electronic circuitry then provides the proper PWM
output to the cluster illumination lamps and the
VFD on the EMIC circuit board, then provides a
matching PWM output on the hard wired fused panel
lamps dimmer switch signal circuit to illuminate all
lamps at full (daylight) intensity with the exterior
lamps turned On.
²Park Lamps- The control knob on the end of
the multi-function switch left (lighting) control stalk
is rotated forward (counterclockwise) to its first
detent from the Off position to activate the park
lamps. The multi-function switch provides a resistor
multiplexed output to the Body Control Module
(BCM) on a headlamp switch sense circuit, and the
BCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the
park lamp relay in the Junction Block (JB) as
required.
²Rear Fog Lamps- For vehicles so equipped,
the control knob on the end of the multi-function
switch left (lighting) control stalk is rotated forward
(counterclockwise) to its third detent position to acti-
vate the rear fog lamps. The multi-function switch
provides a resistor multiplexed output to the Body
Control Module (BCM) on a headlamp switch sense
circuit, and the BCM responds by energizing or de-
energizing the rear fog lamp relay in the Junction
Block (JB) as required. Rear fog lamps are optional
only for vehicles manufactured for certain markets,
where they are required.
²Turn Signal Control- The left (lighting) con-
trol stalk of the multi-function switch is moved
upward to activate the right turn signal circuitry,
and, downward to activate the left turn signal cir-
cuitry. The turn signal switch has a detent position
in each direction that provides turn signals with
automatic cancellation, and an intermediate, momen-
tary position in each direction that provides turn sig-
nals only until the left multi-function switch control
stalk is released. When the control stalk is moved to
a turn signal switch detent position, the cancel
actuator extends toward the center of the steering
column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to
the clockspring rotates with the steering wheel and
the cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is
extended from the left multi-function switch. When
the steering wheel is rotated during a turning
maneuver, one of the two turn signal cancel cam
lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The
cancel actuator latches against the cancel cam rota-
tion in the direction opposite that which is signaled.
In other words, if the left turn signal detent is
selected, the lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past
the cancel actuator when the steering wheel is
rotated to the left, but will unlatch the cancel actua-
