When replacing a BCM there are three modules
available:
²Base
²Midline
²RG - Export
The Midline controller is used on vehicles that
have Power Door Locks. If a vehicle is equipped with
the Vehicle Theft Security System, the Midline con-
troller becomes a Premium when the theft feature is
enabled.
CAUTION: Do not swap Body Control Modules
between vehicles or body controller's off the shelf.
The BCM has internal diagnostic capability that
assists in diagnosing the system error. When an
OPEN or a SHORT circuit exists, the diagnostic tool
can be used to read the BCM faults. The faults are
very descriptive in identifying the appropriate fea-
ture that has faulted.The only two faults that the BCM logs that con-
clude the replacement of a BCM are faults;
²# 01 - Internal BCM failure (replace BCM)
²# 1F - J1850 Internal Hardware Failure (replace
BCM)
Otherwise the appropriate diagnostic procedures
for each of the features should be taken when the
BCM logs a fault.

switch in the HVAC control assembly and a relay
with timer switch to turn OFF the system after ten
minutes. The main feed circuit is protected by fuse
13 (40 amp) in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
which is connected directly to the front control mod-
ule (FCM) to form an integrated unit called an Inte-
grated Power Module (IPM). The rear defogger
switch and relay also activates the heated power side
view mirrors. The rear defogger switch also activates
the heated windshield wiper de-icer which is powered
by the RUN/ACC relay in the IPM and feed thru fuse
#11 (20 amp) in the PDC. The heated mirror circuit
is protected by a non-servicable Positive Temperature
Coefficient (PTC) located inside the PDC. The heated
windshield wiper de-icer circuit is protected by fuse
11 (20 amp) in the PDC.
The Heated Windshield Wiper Deicer is also acti-
vated when the DEFROST mode is selected on the
HVAC. In the DEFROST mode the rear defogger
timout is bypassed, the heated windshield wiper de-
icer will stay ON until another mode is selected. For
circuit information and component location refer to
appropriate section for Wiring Diagrams.
CAUTION:
Since grid lines can be damaged or scraped off by
sharp instruments, care should be taken in cleaning
the glass or removing foreign materials, decals or
stickers. Normal glass cleaning solvents or hot
water used with rags or toweling is recommended.

POWER MIRRORS
DESCRIPTION
If equipped with power mirrors, the control switch
is located on the instrument panel to the left of the
headlamp switch.
OPERATION
The power mirrors are connected to battery feed at
all times. Each mirror head contains two electric
motors, two drive mechanisms, an electric heating
element, and the mirror glass. If the vehicle is
equipped with the optional memory system, the
driver side mirror head also contains both a horizon-
tal and a vertical motor position sensor. One motor
and drive controls mirror up-and-down movement,
and the other controls right-and-left movement.An optional driver side outside electrochromic mir-
ror is able to automatically change its reflectance
level. This mirror is controlled by the circuitry of the
automatic day/night inside rear view mirror. A thin
layer of electrochromic material between two pieces
of conductive glass make up the face of the mirror.
Two photocell sensors on the inside rear view mirror
are used to monitor light levels and adjust the reflec-
tance of both the inside and driver side outside mir-
rors. This change in reflectance helps to reduce the
glare of headlamps approaching the vehicle from the
rear. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/
AUTOMATIC DAY / NIGHT MIRROR - DESCRIP-
TION) for more information on this system.
The motors which operate the mirrors are part of
the mirror assembly and cannot be serviced sepa-
rately.

ered. This defeats the day-detect logic. If OK, go to
Step 8. If not OK, replace the faulty mirror unit.
(8) With the mirror darkened, place the transmis-
sion gear selector lever in the Reverse position. The
automatic day/night mirror should return to its nor-
mal reflectance. If not OK, replace the faulty mirror
unit.
Bench testing both mirrors can be done, of care is
exercised. For an inside mirror, the pin closest to he
mount is 12V (+), the next is 12V (-). The third is
reverse override. The fourth is outside mirror (+),
and the fifth is outside mirror (-).Do not apply 12
volts to the fourth and fifth pins.With 12 volts
on pins 1 and 2, the mirror can be tested by blocking
the rear sensor and shining a light into the forward
sensor. For an outside mirror, there is a 2±pin con-
nector. Applying 1.2 volts will cause the mirror to
dim. If the mirror does not dim, the entire glass
assembly can be replaced just as it is when the glass
is broken.
WARNING: Do not apply 12 volts to the outside mir-
ror. Damage to the mirror will result.
POWER FOLDAWAY MIRROR
SWITCH - EXPORT
DESCRIPTION
These vehicles may be equipped with Power Fold-
away Mirrors. This feature allows both the driver
and passenger side view mirrors to fold inward
(retract) on demand. The vehicle has an additional
switch located on the steering column that controls
the folding function of the mirror assembly (Fig. 2).
The fold-away side view mirror is attached to the
vehicle's door in the same manner as mirrors without
the fold-away option. The fold-away mirrors unique
option is the internal motor which allows the mirrors
to fold inward on demand. The fold-away mirror
motor is not serviceable separately and if a motor is
found to be faulty the entire side view mirror must
be replaced.
OPERATION
When the mirror retract switch is depressed, both
of the side view mirrors will fold inward, Thus mak-
ing the overall width of the vehicle the smallest pos-
sible. This can be helpful were parking space is a
absolute minimum.
When the driver's door is opened, only the driver's
door mirror will unfold. If the passenger door is
opened, both mirrors will unfold.
The power fold away mirror system consists of the
following components: mirror switch, side view mir-ror, relay, wires and fuse. 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 harness connectors, splices
and grounds.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the upper and lower steering column
shroud (Refer to 19 - STEERING/COLUMN/LOWER
SHROUD - REMOVAL).
(3) Disconnect electrical harness connector.

fort temperature. For instance, on sunny summer
days the air flow will probably be cooler than the
comfort temperature; on cold or cloudy days and at
night it will probably be slightly warmer. Infrared
Three-Zone Temperature Control provides side-to-
side and front-to-rear variation in comfort tempera-
ture settings. The Infrared Three-Zone Automatic
Temperature Control fan provides a continuously
variable air flow rate to meet occupant comfort
requirements.
FRONT CONTROL PANEL
²AUTO HI/LO± This system features two sets of
automatic control logic that allow either a rapid cool-
down rate or a somewhat slower cool-down rate with
less fan noise. HI-AUTO controls the system to reach
its assigned temperature quickly with a higher fan
speed. LO-AUTO controls the system to reach its
assigned temperature somewhat slower with less fan
noise. Both modes will automatically engage auto
recirculation.
²DE-FROST± The de-frost function is active
when the rear window defogger function is active or
when the defog/defrost mode is selected.
²RECIRC± The RECIRC button will close the
air inlet door. If the system is in auto recirc (indica-
tor being displayed automatically), pressing the man-
ual recirc button will disable the auto recirc function
until one of the auto keys are pressed or the ignition
is cycled. If Auto HI/LO is pressed while manual
recirc is active, manual recirc will be deactivated.
²REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER± Pushing the
button sends a PCI bus message to the Intelligent
Power Module which controls the Rear Window
Defogger and side view mirror (if equipped) circuitry.
The defogger function will be active for 10 minutes
and can be turned off by a switch press. The defogger
will function while the control is in the ON mode.
²FAN/MODE± The Fan and Mode knobs have
17 manual selectable positions. Manually changing
either of the rotary knobs for mode or fan speed set-
tings makes control of that function alone manual for
as long as the ignition is on. If only one is changed
manually, the other remains under automatic control.
Pressing the HI-AUTO/LO-AUTO rocker switch
restores full automatic control.
²REAR CONTROL± When the Rear System
control knob is moved to the OFF position, there will
be a delay of approximately 1 second before the sys-
tem actually turns off. This delay is to prevent an
undesired blower dropout if the knob is moved
through OFF to the other selections.
²BLOWER DELAY TIMER± The word DELAY
is displayed at start-up to signify that the system is
waiting so that cold air will not be blowing. This tells
the operator that it is unnecessary to turn the sys-tem off, raise the temperature setting or turn the fan
speed setting down to prevent cold air from blowing.
A countdown in minutes and seconds until the engine
is warm enough to begin delivering heat to the pas-
sengers alternates with the DELAY message at 25
second intervals. This countdown is based on actual
measurement of the rate of engine coolant tempera-
ture change. During the delay time, Defrost mode is
selected and the fan operates at a low speed to keep
the windshield fog free.
REAR CONTROL PANEL
Primary control of the rear compartment unit is in
the instrument panel center stack. The rear unit con-
trol knob there allows the driver to turn the rear
unit off, allow control by the intermediate seat occu-
pants by switching to the REAR position, or provide
fully automatic control based on the temperature set-
ting shown on the front control display.
²REAR CONTROL± Selecting automatic control
of the rear unit at the instrument panel, illuminates
a Locked Padlock in the rear control panel display.
Selecting REAR activates the rear control panel and
the Padlock then appears unlocked.
²FAN KNOB± The rear fan control has Off and
AUTO positions and a range of manual speed set-
tings that override the AUTO setting.
²MODE KNOB± The mode control allows inter-
mediate seat occupants to manually override the
automatic mode and select any balance of air flow
between overhead and floor outlets from full over-
head to full floor.
²SET TEMP± The rear set temp control will
operate identical to the front controls. If the front
control rear set temp button is pressed simulta-
neously with the rear control head, then the front
control head press events shall have priority, i.e. if
the front user presses Rear Set Temp down and the
rear user presses Set Temp up, then the rear set
temp will decrease.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - A/C COOL DOWN
TEST
The heater-A/C control module can perform an A/C
cool down test, which is a test performed during the
manufacturing process to confirm that the air condi-
tioning system is performing satisfactorily. This test
can also provide a quick confirmation of air condi-
tioning system performance to the service technician.
If the test is completed satisfactorily, no further ser-
vice is required. If the test is failed, proceed to the
A/C Performance Test to confirm the a/c system is
operating properly, or use a DRBIIItscan tool to
