STARTING
DESCRIPTION
The starting system consists of:
²Starter relay
²Starter motor (including an integral starter sole-
noid)
Other components to be considered as part of start-
ing system are:
²Battery
²Battery cables
²Ignition switch and key lock cylinder
²Clutch pedal position switch (manual transmis-
sion)
²Park/neutral position switch (automatic trans-
mission)
²Wire harnesses and connections.
The Battery, Starting, and Charging systems oper-
ate in conjunction with one another, and must be
tested as a complete system. For correct operation of
starting/charging systems, all components used in
these 3 systems must perform within specifications.
When attempting to diagnose any of these systems, it
is important that you keep their interdependency in
mind.
The diagnostic procedures used in each of these
groups include the most basic conventional diagnostic
methods, to the more sophisticated On-Board Diag-
nostics (OBD) built into the Powertrain Control Mod-
ule (PCM). Use of an induction-type milliampere
ammeter, volt/ohmmeter, battery charger, carbon pile
rheostat (load tester), and 12-volt test lamp may be
required.
OPERATION
These components form two separate circuits. A
high amperage circuit that feeds the starter motor up
to 300+ amps, and a control circuit that operates on
less than 20 amps.
The PCM controls a double start over-ride safety
that does not allow the starter to be engaged if the
engine is already running.

INSPECTION
Before removing any unit from the starting system
for repair or diagnosis, perform the following inspec-
tions:
²Battery- Visually inspect the battery for indi-
cations of physical damage and loose or corroded
cable connections. Determine the state-of-charge and
cranking capacity of the battery. Charge or replace

for more information.
²Ignition Switch- Visually inspect the ignition
switch for indications of physical damage and loose
or corroded wire harness connections.
²Transmission Range Sensor or Park/Neu-
tral Switch- Visually inspect the transmission
range sensor for indications of physical damage and
loose or corroded wire harness connections.
²Starter Relay- Visually inspect the starter
relay for indications of physical damage and loose or
corroded wire harness connections.
²Starter Motor- Visually inspect the starter
motor for indications of physical damage and loose or
corroded wire harness connections.²Starter Solenoid- Visually inspect the starter
solenoid for indications of physical damage and loose
or corroded wire harness connections.
²Wiring- Visually inspect the wire harness for
damage. Repair or replace any faulty wiring, as
required. Check for loose or corroded wire harness
connections at main engine ground and remote jump
post.
²Power Distribution Center (PDC)- Visually
inspect the B+ connections at the PDC for physical
damage and loose or corroded harness connections.

cator illuminates. When the switch rocker is moved
to its neutral position (middle), Off is selected and
both LED indicators are extinguished.
Each switch provides separate resistor multiplexed
hard wire inputs to its respective Heated Seat Mod-
ule (HSM) to indicate the selected switch position.
The heated seat module responds to the heated seat
switch status messages by controlling the output to
the seat heater elements of the selected seat. The
Low heat position set point is about 36É C (97É F),
and the High heat position set point is about 41É C
(105É F).

OF THIS MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY
STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, SEAT OR
INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR
SERVICE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIR-
BAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
CHECKING SWITCH SIGNAL AND WIRING AT THE
MODULE
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Access and disconnect the gray 4-way connector
from the heated seat module. Visually inspect wiring
terminals for damage that would prevent positive
connection. If not OK, repair or replace the necessary
components.
(3) Place the heated seat switch in the LO posi-
tion. Using an Ohmmeter, check the resistance
between cavities 2 and 3 of the gray connector noted
above. Resistance should be about 3.5 kilohms (3500
ohms). If not OK, check resistance directly at switch,
as noted below. If OK, proceed to the next step. If not
OK, replace the faulty switch.
(4) Place the heated seat switch in the HI position.
Using an ohmmeter, check the resistance between
cavities 2 and 3 of the gray connector noted above.
Resistance should be about 1.4 kilohms (1400 ohms).
If not OK, check resistance directly at switch, as
noted below. If OK, proceed. If not OK replace the
faulty switch.
(5) With the system ON in the HI position, check
for battery voltage and ground at cavities 4 and 1. If
OK, proceed with testing remaining components. If
not OK, repair open or shorted wiring.
CHECKING SWITCH ONLY
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Remove the center bezel from the instrument
panel (Refer to 23 - BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/
INSTRUMENT PANEL CENTER BEZEL - REMOV-
AL). Check for continuity between the ground circuit
cavity (#10) of the instrument panel switch bank
electrical connector and a good ground. There should
be continuity. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair
the open ground circuit to ground as required.
(2) Reconnect the battery negative cable. Turn the
ignition switch to the On position. Check for battery
voltage at the fused ignition switch output (run) cir-
cuit cavity of the instrument panel switch bank con-
nector (#4). If OK, turn the ignition switch to the Off
position, and go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the open
fused ignition switch output (run) circuit as required.
(3) Test the heated seat switch as shown in the
Heated Seat Switch Test chart and the connector pin-
out below (Fig. 3). If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK,
replace the faulty switch bank assembly.

HEATED SEAT ELEMENTS
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat system includes two seat heating
elements in each front seat, one for the seat cushion
and the other for the seat back. The two elements for
each seat that are connected in series with the
Heated Seat Module (HSM). The temperature sensor
is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) ther-
mistor. One temperature sensor is used for each seat,
and it is located on the seat cushion heating element
for all models.
The seat heating elements are sewn into the seat
cushion cover trim and seat back cover trim units.
The heated seat elements and the temperature sen-
sor cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or
damaged, the seat element assembly must be
replaced. Refer to the procedure in this section.
OPERATION
The heated seat elements resist the flow of electri-
cal current. When battery current is passed through
the elements, the energy lost by the resistance of the
elements to the current flow is released in the form
of heat. The temperature sensor is a NTC thermistor.
When the temperature of the seat cushion cover
rises, the resistance of the sensor decreases. The
heated seat module supplies a five-volt current to one
side of each sensor, and monitors the voltage drop
through the sensor on a return circuit. The heated
seat module uses this temperature sensor input to
monitor the temperature of the seat, and regulates
the current flow to the seat heating elements accord-
ingly.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT
ELEMENTS
The wire harness connectors for the seat cushion
and seat back heating elements are located under the
seat, at the heated seat module. For circuit descrip-
tions and diagrams, refer to section 8W, Wiring Dia-
grams.
