CONTROLLER ANTILOCK
BRAKE
DESCRIPTION
The controller antilock brake (CAB) is a micropro-
cessor-based device which monitors the antilock
brake system (ABS) during normal braking and con-
trols it when the vehicle is in an ABS stop. The CAB
is mounted to the HCU as part of the integrated con-
trol unit (ICU) (Fig. 1). The CAB uses a 24-way elec-
trical connector on the vehicle wiring harness. The
power source for the CAB is through the ignition
switch in the RUN or ON position. The CAB is on
the PCI bus.
OPERATION
The primary functions of the controller antilock
brake (CAB) are to:
²Monitor the antilock brake system for proper
operation.
²Detect wheel locking or wheel slipping tenden-
cies by monitoring the speed of all four wheels of the
vehicle.
²Control fluid modulation to the wheel brakes
while the system is in an ABS mode.
²Store diagnostic information.
²Provide communication to the DRBIIItscan tool
while in diagnostic mode.
²Illuminate the amber ABS warning indicator
lamp.
²(With traction control only) Illuminate the TRAC
ON lamp in the message center on the instrument
panel when a traction control event occurs.
²(with traction control only) Illuminate the TRAC
OFF lamp when the amber ABS warning indicator
lamp illuminates.
The CAB constantly monitors the antilock brake
system for proper operation. If the CAB detects a
fault, it will turn on the amber ABS warning indica-
tor lamp and disable the antilock braking system.
The normal base braking system will remain opera-
tional.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with traction con-
trol, the TRAC OFF lamp will illuminate anytime the
amber ABS warning indicator lamp illuminates.
The CAB continuously monitors the speed of each
wheel through the signals generated by the wheel
speed sensors to determine if any wheel is beginning
to lock. When a wheel locking tendency is detected,
the CAB commands the CAB command coils to actu-
ate. The coils then open and close the valves in the
HCU that modulate brake fluid pressure in some or
all of the hydraulic circuits. The CAB continues to
control pressure in individual hydraulic circuits until
a locking tendency is no longer present.
The CAB contains a self-diagnostic program that
monitors the antilock brake system for system faults.
When a fault is detected, the amber ABS warning
indicator lamp is turned on and the fault diagnostic
trouble code (DTC) is then stored in a diagnostic pro-
gram memory. A latched fault will disable certain
system functionality for the current ignition cycle. An
unlatched fault will disable certain system function-
ality until the fault condition disappears. These
DTC's will remain in the CAB memory even after the
ignition has been turned off. The DTC's can be read
and cleared from the CAB memory by a technician
using the DRBIIItscan tool. If not cleared with a
DRBIIItscan tool, the fault occurrence and DTC will

switch and the heated seat sensor to operate and
control the heated seat elements in the front seat.
The heated seat modules cannot be repaired. If
either of the heated seat modules are damaged or
faulty, the entire module must be replaced.
OPERATION
The heated seat module operates on fused battery
current received from the integrated power module.
The module is grounded at all times through the seat
wire harness. Inputs to the module include a resistor
multiplexed heated seat switch request circuit for the
heated seat switch and the heated seat sensor inputs
from the seat cushions of each front seat. In response
to those inputs the heated seat module controls bat-
tery current feeds to the heated seat elements.
When a heated seat switch request signal is
received by the heated seat module and the enable
input is high, the heated seat module energizes the
selected heated seat sensor circuit and the sensor
provides the module with an input indicating the
surface temperature of the selected seat cushion.
The Low heat set point is about 35É C (95É F), and
the High heat set point is about 40É C (104É F). If the
seat cushion surface temperature input is below the
temperature set point for the selected temperature
setting, the heated seat module energizes an N-chan-
nel Field Effect Transistor (N-FET) within the mod-
ule which energizes the heated seat elements in theselected seat cushion and back. When the sensor
input to the module indicates the correct tempera-
ture set point has been achieved, the module de-en-
ergizes the N-FET which de-energizes the heated
seat elements. The heated seat module will continue
to cycle the N-FET as needed to maintain the
selected temperature set point.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT
MODULE
If a heated seat heats but one or both indicator
lamps on the heated seat switch fail to operate, test
the heated seat switch. Refer toDiagnosis and

MEMORY SEAT/MIRROR
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the memory seat/mirror
option, utilize a memory module located under the
drivers front seat. This module is basically wired in-
line between the power seat switch and the power
seat track/adjuster motors, or in-line between the
power mirror switch and the power side view mir-
ror(s) motor(s). The MSMM contains a central pro-
cessing unit that communicates with other modules
on the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network.
The Memory Seat/Mirror Module (MSMM) receives
hard wired inputs from the driver power seat switch
and the potentiometers on each of the driver side
power seat track motors, or from the power mirror
switch and the potentiometers on the side view mir-
ror. The MSMM receives messages over the PCI data
bus from the Body Control Module (BCM) (memory
switch status), the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
(vehicle speed status). The MSMM will prevent the
seat memory recall function from being initiated if
the driver side seat belt is buckled, if the transmis-
sion gear selector lever is not in the Park or Neutral
positions, or if the vehicle is moving.
For diagnosis of the MSMM or the PCI data bus, a
DRB IIItscan tool and the proper Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual are recommended. The MSMM cannot
be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced. Refer toMemory Systemin the Power
Seat or Power Mirror section of this manual for more
information on the memory system option.
OPERATION
When memory system operation is requested
(depressing of the memory switch), a resistor multi-
plexed signal is sent from the memory switch to the
body control module (BCM). The body control module
will then send the appropriate signals out to the
memory/mirror seat module, the memory/mirror seat
module then applies the voltage supply to the power
seat track or side-view mirror if the proper require-
ments are met. The vehicle speed must equal zero
and the transmission must be in park or neutral in
order for the memory system to function.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - MEMORY
SEAT/MIRROR MODULE
Visually inspect the related wiring harness connec-
tors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded
terminals. If any of the above conditions are present,
