SERVO
DESCRIPTION
The servo unit consists of a solenoid valve body,
and a vacuum chamber. The solenoid valve body con-
tains three solenoids:
²Vacuum
²Vent
²Dump
The vacuum chamber contains a diaphragm with a
cable attached to control the throttle linkage.
OPERATION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls the
solenoid valve body. The solenoid valve body controls
the application and release of vacuum to the dia-
phragm of the vacuum servo. The servo unit cannot
be repaired and is serviced only as a complete assem-
bly.
Power is supplied to the servo's by the PCM
through the brake switch. The PCM controls the
ground path for the vacuum and vent solenoids.The dump solenoid is energized anytime it receives
power. If power to the dump solenoid is interrupted,
the solenoid dumps vacuum in the servo. This pro-
vides a safety backup to the vent and vacuum sole-
noids.
The vacuum and vent solenoids must be grounded
at the PCM to operate. When the PCM grounds the
vacuum servo solenoid, the solenoid allows vacuum
to enter the servo and pull open the throttle plate
using the cable. When the PCM breaks the ground,
the solenoid closes and no more vacuum is allowed to
enter the servo. The PCM also operates the vent sole-
noid via ground. The vent solenoid opens and closes a
passage to bleed or hold vacuum in the servo as
required.
The PCM duty cycles the vacuum and vent sole-
noids to maintain the set speed, or to accelerate and
decelerate the vehicle. To increase throttle opening,
the PCM grounds the vacuum and vent solenoids. To
decrease throttle opening, the PCM removes the
grounds from the vacuum and vent solenoids. When
the brake is released, if vehicle speed exceeds 30
mph to resume, 35 mph to set, and the RES/ACCEL
switch has been depressed, ground for the vent and
vacuum circuits is restored.
REMOVAL
The speed control servo is attached to a bracket.
The bracket and servo assembly are located below
the battery tray.
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable at battery.
(2) Disconnect positive battery cable at battery.
(3) Remove air cleaner housing at top of throttle
body and disconnect servo cable at throttle body.

tem can operate as designed. The use of a DRBIIIT
scan tool is required to initialize the ITM. Refer to
the appropriate diagnostic information.
SIREN
DESCRIPTION
An alarm siren module is part of the premium ver-
sion of the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) in the Vehicle
Theft Security System (VTSS) (Fig. 9). The premium
version of the VTA is only available in vehicles built
for certain markets, where the additional features
offered by this system are required. The alarm siren
module is located in the right front frame rail. This
unit is designed to provide the audible alert require-
ments for the premium VTA.
The alarm siren module consists of microprocessor,
the siren, and a nickel metal hydride backup battery.
All of the alarm module components are protected
and sealed within the housing.The alarm siren module cannot be repaired or
adjusted and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The microprocessor within the alarm siren module
provides the siren unit features and functions based
upon internal programming and arm and disarm
messages received from the Intrusion Transceiver
Module (ITM) over a dedicated serial bus communi-
cation circuit. The alarm siren module will self-detect
problems with its internal and external power supply
and communication circuits, then send messages
indicating the problem to the ITM upon receiving a
request from the ITM. The ITM will store a Diagnos-
tic Trouble Code (DTC) for a detected alarm siren
module fault that can be retrieved with the DRBIIIt
scan tool over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus.
When the premium version of the Vehicle Theft
Alarm (VTA) is armed, the alarm siren module con-
tinuously monitors inputs from the ITM for messages
to sound its siren and enters its auto-detect mode.
While in the auto-detect mode, if the alarm siren
module detects that its power supply or communica-
tion circuits are being tampered with or have been
sabotaged, it will sound an alarm and continue to
operate through its on-board backup battery. If the
arm siren module is in its disarmed mode when its
power supply or communication circuits are inter-
rupted, the siren will not sound. The alarm module
will also notify the ITM when the backup battery
requires charging, and the ITM will send a message
that will allow the backup battery to be charged
through the battery voltage and ground circuits to
the alarm module only when the ignition switch is in
the On position and the engine is running. This will
prevent the charging of the alarm backup battery
from depleting the charge in the main vehicle battery
while the vehicle is not being operated.
The alarm siren module receives battery voltage
through a fuse in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC), and is grounded to the chassis. These connec-
tions allow the alarm siren module to remain opera-
tional, regardless of the ignition switch position. The
hard wired inputs and outputs for the alarm siren
module may be diagnosed and tested using conven-
tional diagnostic tools and procedures. However, con-
ventional diagnostic methods will not prove
conclusive in the diagnosis of the internal circuitry or
the backup battery of the alarm siren module, the
ITM, the serial bus communication line, or the mes-
sage inputs to and outputs from the alarm siren
module. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the alarm siren module, the ITM,
the serial bus communication line, and the electronic

FRONT WASHER PUMP/
MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The front washer pump/motor unit is located on
the outboard side and near the front of the washer
reservoir, between the left front inner and outer
fender panels (Fig. 5). A small permanently lubri-
cated and sealed electric motor is coupled to the
rotor-type washer pump. A seal flange with a large
barbed inlet nipple on the pump housing passes
through a rubber grommet seal installed in one of
two dedicated mounting holes near the bottom of the
washer reservoir. The front washer pump/motor unit
is always mounted in the lower pump mounting hole
of the reservoir. A smaller barbed outlet nipple on the
pump housing connects the unit to the front washer
hose. The washer pump/motor unit is retained on the
reservoir by the interference fit between the barbedpump inlet nipple and the grommet seal, which is a
light press fit. An integral electrical connector recep-
tacle is located on the top of the motor housing. The
front washer pump/motor unit cannot be repaired. If
faulty or damaged, the entire washer pump/motor
unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The front washer pump/motor unit is connected to
the vehicle electrical system through a single take
out and two-cavity connector of the left headlamp
and dash wire harness. The washer pump/motor is
grounded at all times through a take out of the left
headlamp and dash wire harness with a single eyelet
terminal connector that is secured under a ground
screw to the top of the left inner fender shield in the
engine compartment. The front washer pump/motor
receives battery current on a fused ignition switch
output (run-acc) circuit through the closed contacts of
the momentary front washer switch within the right
multi-function switch only when the switch control
stalk is pulled towards the steering wheel. Washer
fluid is gravity-fed from the washer reservoir to the
inlet side of the washer pump. When the pump motor
is energized, the rotor-type pump pressurizes the
washer fluid and forces it through the pump outlet
nipple, the front washer plumbing, and the front
washer nozzles onto the windshield glass.

RAIN SENSOR MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Rain Sensor Module (RSM) is the primary
component of the automatic wiper system (Fig. 14).
The RSM is located on the inside of the windshield,
between the rear view mirror mounting button and
the windshield header and is concealed behind a
molded plastic trim cover that snaps over the modulehousing. The triangular-shaped molded black plastic
housing of the RSM has a rectangular opening
located on the upper end of the housing for the mod-
ule connector receptacle, which contains four termi-
nal pins. These terminal pins connect the rain sensor
to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the overhead wire harness
that extends from above the headliner. Five openings
on the windshield side of the RSM housing are fitted
with eight convex clear plastic lenses. A metal spring
clip on each side of the housing near the bottom
secures the RSM to a plastic mounting bracket that
is bonded to the windshield glass. Concealed within
the RSM housing is the electronic circuitry of the
module, which includes four InfraRed (IR) diodes,
two photocells, and a microprocessor.
The RSM software is Flash compatible, which
means it can be reprogrammed using Flash repro-
gramming procedures. However, if any of the hard-
ware of the RSM is damaged or faulty, the entire
module must be replaced. The RSM bracket is ser-
viced as a unit with the windshield glass. If the
bracket is faulty, damaged, or separated from the
windshield glass, the windshield unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The microprocessor-based Rain Sensor Module
(RSM) senses moisture in the wipe pattern on the
outside of the windshield glass and sends wipe com-
mands to the Body Control Module (BCM). Four
InfraRed (IR) diodes within the RSM generate IR
light beams that are aimed by four of the convex
optical lenses near the base of the module through
the windshield glass. Four additional convex optical
lenses near the top of the RSM are focused on the IR
light beams on the outside of the windshield glass
and allow the two photocells within the module to
sense changes in the intensity of these IR light
beams. When sufficient moisture accumulates within
the wipe pattern of the windshield glass, the RSM
detects a change in the monitored IR light beam
intensity.
The internal programming of the RSM then sends
the appropriate electronic wipe command messages
to the BCM over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus. The BCM responds by acti-
vating or deactivating the front wiper system. The
BCM also sends electronic sensitivity level messages
to the RSM over the PCI data bus based upon the
driver-selected sensitivity setting of the control knob
on the control stalk of the right (wiper) multi-func-
tion switch. The higher the selected sensitivity set-
ting the more sensitive the RSM is to the
accumulated moisture on the windshield glass, and

RIGHT MULTI-FUNCTION
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The right (wiper) multi-function switch is secured
to the right side of the multi-function switch mount-
ing housing at the top of the steering column, just
below the steering wheel (Fig. 16). The only visible
component of the right multi-function switch is the
control stalk that extends through a dedicated open-
ing in the right side of the steering column shrouds.
The remainder of the right multi-function switch is
concealed beneath the steering column shrouds. The
switch housing and its control stalk are constructed
of molded black plastic. A single connector receptacle
containing up to ten terminal pins is located on the
back of the switch housing and connects the switch
to the vehicle electrical system through a take out
and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The switch is secured to the multi-function switch
mounting housing near the top of the steering col-
umn by two screws.
There are two versions of the right multi-function
switch: one to support the standard equipment speed
sensitive intermittent front wiper system, and a sec-
ond to support the optional front automatic wiper
system. Each version of the right multi-function
switch control stalk has both white nomenclature
and International Control and Display Symbol icons
applied to it, which clearly identify its many func-
tions. The control stalk has a control knob on its end
with a flattened face to allow it to be easily rotated.
Just below the control knob is a knurled control
sleeve. The right multi-function switch is the primary
control for the front and rear wiper and washer sys-
tems, and contains switches and circuitry to provide
signals to the Body Control Module (BCM) and the
rear wiper module.
The right (wiper) multi-function switch cannot be
adjusted or repaired. If any function of the switch is
faulty, or if the switch is damaged, the entire switch
unit must be replaced.
The right (wiper) multi-function switch supports
the following functions and features:
²Automatic Front Wipe Mode- On models
equipped with the optional automatic wiper system,
the internal circuitry and hardware of the right
(wiper) multi-function switch control knob provide an
automatic front wipe mode with five sensitivity posi-
tions.
²Continuous Front Wipe Modes- The internal
circuitry and hardware of the right (wiper) multi-
function switch control knob provide two continuous
front wipe switch positions, low speed or high speed.
