CAUTION: When installing the serpentine engine
accessory drive belt, the belt MUST be routed cor-
rectly. If not, the engine may overheat due to the
water pump rotating in the wrong direction. Refer to
the Belt Removal and Installtion in this group for
appropriate belt routing. You may also refer to the
Belt Routing Label in the vehicle engine compart-
ment.
Install accessory drive belt (Refer to 7 - COOLING/
ACCESSORY DRIVE/DRIVE BELTS - INSTALLA-
TION).
(6) Install fan blade and viscous fan drive onto
water pump.
(7) Fill cooling system with coolant and check for
leaks. (Refer to 7 - COOLING - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE).
(8) Connect battery cable to battery.
(9) Start and warm the engine. Check for leaks.
RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP
DESCRIPTION
All radiators are equipped with a pressure cap
(Fig. 50). This cap releases pressure at some point
within a range of 124-to-145 kPa (18-to-21 psi). The
pressure relief point (in pounds) is engraved on top of
the cap
The cooling system will operate at pressures
slightly above atmospheric pressure. This results in a
higher coolant boiling point allowing increased radi-
ator cooling capacity. The cap contains a spring-
loaded pressure relief valve. This valve opens when
system pressure reaches the release range of 124-to-
145 kPa (18-to-21 psi).
A rubber gasket seals the radiator filler neck. This is
done to maintain vacuum during coolant cool-down and
to prevent leakage when system is under pressure.
OPERATION
A vent valve in the center of the cap will remain
shut as long as the cooling system is pressurized. As
the coolant cools, it contracts and creates a vacuum
in cooling system. This causes the vacuum valve to
open and coolant in reserve/overflow tank to be
drawn through connecting hose into radiator. If the
vacuum valve is stuck shut, or overflow hose is
kinked, radiator hoses will collapse on cool-down.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTINGÐRADIATOR
PRESSURE CAP
Remove cap from radiator. Be sure that sealing
surfaces are clean. Moisten rubber gasket with water
and install the cap on pressure tester (tool 7700 or
an equivalent) (Fig. 51).Operate the tester pump and observe the gauge
pointer at its highest point. The cap release pressure
should be 124 to 145 kPa (18 to 21 psi). The cap is
satisfactory when the pressure holds steady. It is also
good if it holds pressure within the 124 to 145 kPa
(18 to 21 psi) range for 30 seconds or more. If the
pointer drops quickly, replace the cap.
CAUTION: Radiator pressure testing tools are very
sensitive to small air leaks, which will not cause
cooling system problems. A pressure cap that does
not have a history of coolant loss should not be
replaced just because it leaks slowly when tested
with this tool. Add water to tool. Turn tool upside
down and recheck pressure cap to confirm that cap
needs replacement.CLEANING
Clean the radiator pressure cap using a mild soap
and water only.

OPERATION
The audio system components are designed to pro-
vide audio entertainment and information through
the reception, tuning and amplification of locally
broadcast radio signals in both the Amplitude Modu-
lating (AM) and Frequency Modulating (FM) com-
mercial frequency ranges. Electromagnetic radio
signals that are broadcast from a radio station
induce electrical modulations into the audio system
antenna mast. The antenna body and cable conduct
these weak signals from the antenna mast to the
radio. The radio then tunes and amplifies these weak
radio frequency signals into stronger electrical audio
signals that are required in order to operate the
audio system speakers. The speakers convert these
electrical signals into air movement, which repro-
duces the sounds being broadcast by the radio sta-
tion.
Some audio systems also offer the user the option
of selecting from and listening to prerecorded audio
cassette tapes, audio compact discs, or both. Regard-
less of the media type, the audio system components
provide the user with the ability to electronically
amplify and adjust the audio signals being repro-
duced by the speakers within the vehicle to suit the
preferences of the vehicle occupants.
The audio system components operate on battery
current received through a fuse in the Junction Block
(JB) on a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) cir-
cuit so that the system will only operate when the
ignition switch is in the On or Accessory positions.
On vehicles that are equipped with the optional
remote radio switches, the BCM receives hard wired
resistor multiplexed inputs from the remote radio
switches. The programming in the BCM allows it to
process those inputs and send the proper messages to
the radio receiver over the PCI data bus to control
the radio volume up or down, station seek up or
down, preset station advance, and mode advance
functions.On vehicles equipped with the optional memory
system, when the DDM receives a Driver 1 or Driver
2 memory recall input from the memory switch on
the driver side front door trim panel or a memory
recall message from the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
receiver in the PDM, the DDM sends a memory
recall message back to the radio receiver over the
PCI data bus to recall the radio station presets and
last station listened to information.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of each of the available audio systems.

AUDIO (Continued)
The chime warning system provides an audible
indication to the vehicle operator under the following
conditions:
²Fasten Seat Belt Warning- The Body Control
Module (BCM) chime tone generator will generate
repetitive chimes to announce that an input from the
seat belt switch indicates the driver side front seat
belt is not fastened. Unless the driver side front seat
belt is fastened, the chimes will continue to sound for
a duration of about six seconds each time the ignition
switch is turned to the On position or until the driver
side front seat belt is fastened.
²Head/Park Lights-On Warning- The BCM
chime tone generator will generate repetitive chimes
at a fast rate to announce that a Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus driver door
ajar message, along with hard wired inputs from the
headlamp switch indicate that the exterior lamps are
turned On with the driver side front door opened.
The chime will continue to sound until the exterior
lamps are turned Off, the driver side front door is
closed, or the ignition switch is turned to the On
position.
²Key-In-Ignition Warning- The BCM chime
tone generator will generate repetitive chimes at a
fast rate to announce that a PCI data bus driver door
ajar message received from the Driver Door Module
(DDM), along with hard wired inputs from the key-
in-ignition warning switch indicate that the key is in
the ignition cylinder with the driver side front door
opened and the ignition switch in the Off position.
The chime will continue to sound until the key is
removed from the ignition lock cylinder, the driver
side front door is closed, or the ignition switch is
turned to the On position.
²Overspeed Warning- The BCM chime tone
generator will generate repetitive chimes at a slowrate to announce that a PCI data bus vehicle speed
message received from the Powertrain Control Mod-
ule (PCM) indicates that the vehicle speed is above
120 kilometers-per-hour (75 miles-per-hour). The
chimes will continue to sound until the vehicle speed
is below 120 kilometers-per-hour (75 miles-per-hour).
This feature is only enabled on a BCM that has been
programmed with a Middle East Gulf Coast Country
(GCC) country code.
²Tactile Beep Support- The BCM chime tone
generator will generate a single beep each time a
PCI data bus tactile beep request message is received
from the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) or the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module
(SKIM). This beep provides an audible confirmation
that an EVIC button was completely depressed, or
that the optional Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) is in the ªCustomer Learnº mode.
²Warning Beep Support- The BCM chime tone
generator will generate a short series of beeps each
time a PCI data bus warning beep request message
is received from the EVIC or the Electro-Mechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC). These beeps provide an
audible alert to the vehicle operator, of certain visual
warning indications displayed by the EVIC and/or
the EMIC.
The BCM provides chime service for all available
features in the chime warning system. The BCM
relies upon message inputs received from other mod-
ules over the PCI data bus network to provide chime
service for all of the remaining chime warning sys-
tem features.
The internal programming of the BCM determines
the priority of each chime tone request input that is
received, as well as the rate and duration of each
chime tone that is to be generated.
8B - 2 CHIME/BUZZERWJ
CHIME WARNING SYSTEM (Continued)
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.

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-

For diagnosis of the HSM, MHSM or the PCI data
bus, a DRBIIItscan tool and the proper Diagnostic
Procedures manual are recommended. The HSM or
MHSM cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged,
it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The MSM receives hard wired inputs from the
power seat switch and the potentiometers on each of
the driver side power seat motors. The MSM receives
messages over the PCI data bus from the Driver
Door Module (DDM) (memory switch status), the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) (vehicle speed sta-
tus), and the Body Control Module (seat belt switch
status).The MSM will prevent the seat memory recall
function from being initiated if the driver side seat
belt is buckled, if the transmission gear selector lever
is not in the Park or Neutral positions, or if the vehi-
cle is moving.

GENERATOR
DESCRIPTION
The generator is belt-driven by the engine using a
serpentine type drive belt. It is serviced only as a
complete assembly. If the generator fails for any rea-
son, the entire assembly must be replaced.
OPERATION
As the energized rotor begins to rotate within the
generator, the spinning magnetic field induces a cur-
rent into the windings of the stator coil. Once the
generator begins producing sufficient current, it also
provides the current needed to energize the rotor.
The Y type stator winding connections deliver the
induced AC current to 3 positive and 3 negative
diodes for rectification. From the diodes, rectified DC
current is delivered to the vehicle electrical system
through the generator battery terminal.
Although the generators appear the same exter-
nally, different generators with different output rat-
ings are used on this vehicle. Be certain that the
replacement generator has the same output rating
and part number as the original unit. Refer to Gen-
erator Ratings in the Specifications section at the
back of this group for amperage ratings and part
numbers.
Noise emitting from the generator may be caused
by: worn, loose or defective bearings; a loose or defec-
tive drive pulley; incorrect, worn, damaged or misad-
justed fan drive belt; loose mounting bolts; a
misaligned drive pulley or a defective stator or diode.

(6) Install negative battery cable to battery.
VOLTAGE REGULATOR
DESCRIPTION
The Electronic Voltage Regulator (EVR) is not a
separate component. It is actually a voltage regulat-
ing circuit located within the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM). The EVR is not serviced separately. If
replacement is necessary, the PCM must be replaced.
OPERATION
The amount of DC current produced by the gener-
ator is controlled by EVR circuitry contained within
the PCM. This circuitry is connected in series with
the generators second rotor field terminal and its
ground.
Voltage is regulated by cycling the ground path to
control the strength of the rotor magnetic field. The
EVR circuitry monitors system line voltage (B+) and
battery temperature (refer to Battery Temperature
Sensor for more information). It then determines a
target charging voltage. If sensed battery voltage is
0.5 volts or lower than the target voltage, the PCM
grounds the field winding until sensed battery volt-
age is 0.5 volts above target voltage. A circuit in the
PCM cycles the ground side of the generator field up
to 100 times per second (100Hz), but has the capabil-
ity to ground the field control wire 100% of the time
(full field) to achieve the target voltage. If the charg-
ing rate cannot be monitored (limp-in), a duty cycle
of 25% is used by the PCM in order to have some
generator output. Also refer to Charging System
Operation for additional information.
