CAUTION: The speaker output of the radio is a
ªfloating groundº system. Do not allow any speaker
lead to short to ground, as damage to the radio
may result.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Turn the radio receiver on. Adjust the balance and
fader controls to check the performance of each indi-
vidual speaker. Note the speaker locations that are
not performing correctly. Go to Step 2.
(2) Turn the radio receiver off. Turn the ignition
switch to the Off position. Disconnect and isolate the
battery negative cable. Remove the radio receiver
from the instrument panel. If the vehicle is equipped
with the Infinity speaker package, also disconnect
the wire harness connectors at the power amplifier.
Check both the speaker feed (+) circuit and return (±)
circuit cavities for the inoperative speaker location(s)
at the radio receiver wire harness connectors for con-
tinuity to ground. In each case, there should be no
continuity. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the
shorted speaker feed (+) and/or return (±) circuit(s) to
the speaker as required.
(3) If the vehicle is equipped with the Infinity
speaker package, go to Step 6. If the vehicle is
equipped with the standard speaker system, check
the resistance between the speaker feed (+) circuit
and return (±) circuit cavities of the radio receiverwire harness connectors for the inoperative speaker
location(s). The meter should read between 2 and 3
ohms (speaker resistance). If OK, go to Step 4. If not
OK, go to Step 5.
(4) Install a known good radio receiver. Connect
the battery negative cable. Turn the ignition switch
to the On position. Turn on the radio receiver and
test the speaker operation. If OK, replace the faulty
radio receiver. If not OK, turn the radio receiver off,
turn the ignition switch to the Off position, discon-
nect and isolate the battery negative cable, remove
the test radio receiver, and go to Step 5.
(5) Disconnect the wire harness connector at the
inoperative speaker. Check for continuity between
the speaker feed (+) circuit cavities of the radio
receiver wire harness connector and the speaker wire
harness connector. Repeat the check between the
speaker return (±) circuit cavities of the radio
receiver wire harness connector and the speaker wire
harness connector. In each case, there should be con-
tinuity. If OK, replace the faulty speaker. If not OK,
repair the open speaker feed (+) and/or return (±) cir-
cuit(s) as required.
(6) For each inoperative speaker location, check for
continuity between the speaker feed (+) circuit cavi-
ties of the radio receiver wire harness connectors and
the power amplifier wire harness connectors. Repeat
the check for each inoperative speaker location
between the speaker return (±) circuit cavities of the
radio receiver wire harness connectors and the power
amplifier wire harness connectors. In each case,
there should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 7. If not
OK, repair the open speaker feed (+) and/or return
(±) circuit(s) as required.
(7) Check for continuity between the two ground
circuit cavities of the power amplifier wire harness
connector and a good ground. There should be conti-
nuity. If OK, go to Step 8. If not OK, repair the open
ground circuit(s) to ground as required.
(8) Check the fused B(+) fuse for the power ampli-
fier in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 9. If not
OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as
required and replace the faulty fuse.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - PCM/SKIM
PROGRAMMING
NOTE: Before replacing the PCM, be sure to check
the related component/circuit integrity for failures
not detected due to a double fault in the circuit.
Most PCM failures are caused by internal compo-
nent failures (i.e. relays and solenoids) and shorted
circuits (i.e. pull-ups, drivers, and switched cir-
cuits). These failures are difficult to detect when a
double fault has occurred and only one DTC has
been set.When a PCM (JTEC) and the SKIM are replaced
at the same time, perform the following steps in
order:
(1) Program the new PCM (JTEC).
(2) Program the new SKIM.
(3) Replace all ignition keys and program them to
the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING THE PCM (JTEC)
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique
to each SKIM. This code is programmed and stored
in the SKIM, the PCM, and the ignition key tran-
sponder chip(s). When replacing the PCM, it is nec-
essary to program the secret key into the new PCM
using the DRBIIItscan tool. Perform the following
steps to program the secret key into the PCM.
WJELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES 8E - 1

BCM programming then performs those tasks and
provides features through both PCI data bus commu-
nication with other electronic modules and hard
wired outputs to a number of relays. These relays
provide the BCM with the ability to control numer-
ous high current accessory systems in the vehicle.
The BCM circuitry operates on battery current
received through fuses in the Junction Block (JB) on a
non-switched fused B(+) circuit, a fused ignition switch
output (start-run) circuit, and a fused ignition switch
output (run-accessory) circuit. This arrangement allows
the BCM to provide some features regardless of the
ignition switch position. The BCM circuitry is grounded
through the chassis beneath the center console.
The BCM monitors its own internal circuitry as
well as many of its input and output circuits, and
will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in elec-
tronic memory for any failure it detects. These DTCs
can be retrieved and diagnosed using a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
HARD WIRED INPUTS
The hard wired inputs to the BCM include the fol-
lowing:
²A/C switch signal
²Ambient temperature sensor signal
²Body control module flash enable
²Coolant level switch sense
²Door ajar switch sense (two circuits - one left
rear, and one right rear)
²Driver seat heater switch mux

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BODY CONTROL
MODULE
The hard wired inputs to and outputs from the
Body Control Module (BCM) may be diagnosed and
tested using conventional diagnostic tools and proce-
dures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
Conventional diagnostic methods may not prove
conclusive in the diagnosis of the BCM. In order to
obtain conclusive testing of the BCM, the Program-
mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus net-
work and all of the electronic modules that provide

inputs to or receive outputs from the BCM must also
be checked. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the BCM, the PCI data bus net-
work, and the electronic modules that provide inputs
to or receive outputs from the BCM requires the use
of a DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diagnostic
information. The DRBIIItscan tool can provide con-
firmation that the PCI data bus network is func-
tional, that all of the modules are sending and
receiving the proper messages over the PCI data bus,
and that the BCM is receiving the proper hard wired
inputs and responding with the proper hard wired
outputs needed to perform its many functions.

The hard wired inputs to and outputs from the
Driver Door Module (DDM) or the Passenger Door
Module (PDM) may be diagnosed and tested using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. It is
suggested that the proper operation of the inopera-
tive power window motor, power door lock motor,
power liftgate lock motor, power mirror motors, or
heated mirror grid be confirmed using jumper wires
to bypass the door module. If the inoperative compo-
nent operates when the door module is bypassed,
check the circuits between the component and the
door module, as well as the fused B(+) and ground
circuits of the door module for shorts or opens.
These conventional diagnostic methods may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the DDM or the
PDM. In order to obtain conclusive testing of these
modules, the Programmable Communications Inter-
face (PCI) data bus network and all of the modules
that provide inputs to or receive outputs from the

MEMORY HEATED SEAT/
MIRROR MODULE
DESCRIPTION
There are two different modules that can be used
in the optional heated seat system. The Heated Seat
Module (HSM) is used on vehicles that are not
equipped with the optional Memory System. The
Memory Heated Seat Module (MHSM) is used on
vehicles that are equipped with the optional Memory
System and the optional heated seat system.Refer to
Memory Systemin Power Seat Systems for more
information on the memory system option.
The module is mounted on a bracket that is located
between the power seat track and the seat cushion
frame (Fig. 9). The HSM or MHSM is used to control
the heated seat system functions for both front seats.
The HSM or MHSM contains a central processing
unit that communicates with other modules on the

(5) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with the optional
Memory System, following installation, it will be
necessary to initialize the Memory Heated Seat
Module (MHSM). In order to function properly, the
MHSM must ªlearnº the sensor values of each of
the power seat motor position transducers in each
of the adjuster hard stop positions. This is done by
performing the ªReset Guard Bandº procedure
using a DRBIIITscan tool and the proper Diagnostic
Procedures manual.
WARNING: THE ªRESET GUARD BANDº PROCE-
DURE WILL CAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT
SEAT TO AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST TO EACH OF
ITS TRAVEL LIMITS. BE CERTAIN THAT NO ONE IS
SEATED IN THE VEHICLE AND THAT THERE IS
NOTHING IN THE VEHICLE THAT WILL OBSTRUCT
SEAT MOVEMENT. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS
WARNING COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURIES
AND/OR VEHICLE DAMAGE.
POWERTRAIN CONTROL
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - PCM
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is located
in the engine compartment (Fig. 11). The PCM is
referred to as JTEC.
MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) change, the PCM adjusts its response to the
output devices. For example, the PCM must calculate
different injector pulse width and ignition timing for
idle than it does for wide open throttle (WOT).
The PCM will operate in two different modes:
Open Loop and Closed Loop.
During Open Loop modes, the PCM receives input
signals and responds only according to preset PCMprogramming. Input from the oxygen (O2S) sensors
is not monitored during Open Loop modes.
During Closed Loop modes, the PCM will monitor
the oxygen (O2S) sensors input. This input indicates
to the PCM whether or not the calculated injector
pulse width results in the ideal air-fuel ratio. This
ratio is 14.7 parts air-to-1 part fuel. By monitoring
the exhaust oxygen content through the O2S sensor,
the PCM can fine tune the injector pulse width. This
is done to achieve optimum fuel economy combined
with low emission engine performance.
The fuel injection system has the following modes
of operation:
²Ignition switch ON
²Engine start-up (crank)
²Engine warm-up
²Idle
²Cruise
²Acceleration
²Deceleration
²Wide open throttle (WOT)
²Ignition switch OFF
The ignition switch On, engine start-up (crank),
engine warm-up, acceleration, deceleration and wide
open throttle modes are Open Loop modes. The idle
and cruise modes, (with the engine at operating tem-
perature) are Closed Loop modes.
IGNITION SWITCH (KEY-ON) MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. When the fuel system
is activated by the ignition switch, the following
actions occur:

MEMORY HEATED SEAT/MIRROR MODULE (Continued)

sponder through a tuned antenna ring integral to the
SKIM housing. If this antenna ring is not mounted
properly around the ignition lock cylinder housing,
communication problems between the SKIM and the
transponder may arise. These communication prob-
lems will result in Sentry Key transponder-related
faults. The SKIM also communicates over the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus
with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the Elec-
troMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC), the Body
Control Module (BCM), and/or the DRBIIItscan tool.
The SKIM retains in memory the ID numbers of
any Sentry Key transponder that is programmed into
it. A maximum of eight transponders can be pro-
grammed into the SKIM. For added system security,
each SKIM is programmed with a unique Secret Key
code. This code is stored in memory, sent over the
PCI data bus to the PCM, and is encoded to the tran-
sponder of every Sentry Key that is programmed into
the SKIM. Another security code, called a PIN, is
used to gain access to the SKIM Secured Access
Mode. The Secured Access Mode is required during
service to perform the SKIS initialization and Sentry
Key transponder programming procedures. The
SKIM also stores the Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN) in its memory, which it learns through a PCI
data bus message from the PCM during SKIS initial-
ization.
In the event that a SKIM replacement is required,
the Secret Key code can be transferred to the new
SKIM from the PCM using the DRBIIItscan tool
and the SKIS replacement procedure. Proper comple-
tion of the SKIS initialization will allow the existing
Sentry Keys to be programmed into the new SKIM so
that new keys will not be required. In the event that
the original Secret Key code cannot be recovered,
SKIM replacement will also require new Sentry
Keys. The DRBIIItscan tool will alert the technician
during the SKIS replacement procedure if new Sen-
try Keys are required.
When the ignition switch is turned to the On posi-
tion, the SKIM transmits an RF signal to the tran-
sponder in the ignition key. The SKIM then waits for
an RF signal response from the transponder. If the
response received identifies the key as valid, the
SKIM sends a valid key message to the PCM over
the PCI data bus. If the response received identifies
the key as invalid, or if no response is received from
the key transponder, the SKIM sends an invalid key
message to the PCM. The PCM will enable or disable
engine operation based upon the status of the SKIM
messages. It is important to note that the default
condition in the PCM is an invalid key; therefore, if
no message is received from the SKIM by the PCM,
the engine will be disabled and the vehicle immobi-
lized after two seconds of running.The SKIM also sends indicator light status mes-
sages to the EMIC over the PCI data bus to tell the
EMIC how to operate the SKIS indicator. This indi-
cator light status message tells the EMIC to turn the
indicator on for about three seconds each time the
ignition switch is turned to the On position as a bulb
test. After completion of the bulb test, the SKIM
sends indicator light status messages to the EMIC to
turn the indicator off, turn the indicator on, or to
flash the indicator on and off. If the SKIS indicator
lamp flashes or stays on solid after the bulb test, it
signifies a SKIS fault. If the SKIM detects a system
malfunction and/or the SKIS has become inoperative,
the SKIS indicator will stay on solid. If the SKIM
detects an invalid key or if a key transponder-related
fault exists, the SKIS indicator will flash. If the vehi-
cle is equipped with the Customer Learn transponder
programming feature, the SKIM will also send mes-
sages to the EMIC to flash the SKIS indicator lamp,
and to the BCM to generate a single audible chime
tone whenever the Customer Learn programming
mode is being utilized. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY - STANDARD PRO-
CEDURE - SENTRY KEY TRANSPONDER
PROGRAMMING).
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the igni-
tion switch is turned to the On position, and will
store fault information in the form of Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTC's) in SKIM memory if a system
malfunction is detected. The SKIM can be diagnosed,
and any stored DTC's can be retrieved using a
DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnos-
tic information.
