DESCRIPTION
The power distribution system for this vehicle con-
sists of the following components:
²Integrated Power Module (IPM)
²Front Control Module (FCM)
²Power Outlets
Refer to Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit sche-
matics.
The power distribution system also incorporates
various types of circuit control and protection fea-
tures, including:
²Automatic resetting circuit breakers
²Blade-type fuses
²Bus bars
²Cartridge fuses
²Circuit splice blocks
²Flashers
²Fusible links
²Relays
OPERATION
The power distribution system for this vehicle is
designed to provide safe, reliable, and centralized dis-
tribution points for the electrical current required to
operate all of the many standard and optional facto-
ry-installed electrical and electronic powertrain,
chassis, safety, security, comfort and convenience sys-
tems. At the same time, the power distribution sys-
tem was designed to provide ready access to these
electrical distribution points for the vehicle techni-
cian to use when conducting diagnosis and repair of
faulty circuits. The power distribution system can
also prove useful for the sourcing of additional elec-
trical circuits that may be required to provide theelectrical current needed to operate many accessories
that the vehicle owner may choose to have installed.

POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
INTEGRATED POWER MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Integrated Power Module (IPM) is a combina-
tion of the Power Distribution Center (PDC) and the
Front Control Module (FCM). The IPM is located in
the engine compartment, next to the battery. (Fig. 1).
The PDC mates directly with the FCM to form the
IPM. The PDC is a printed circuit board based mod-
ule that contains fuses and relays, while the FCM
contains the electronics controlling the IPM and
other functions. This IPM connects directly to the
battery positive through a four pin connector. The
ground connection is through two other connectors.
Terminal Pick Kit 6680
RS8W-97 POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM8W-97-1
The IPM provides the primary means of voltage dis-
tribution and protection for the entire vehicle.
OPERATION
All of the current from the battery and the gener-
ator output enters the Integrated Power Module
(IPM) through a four- pin connector on the bottom of
the module. Internal connections of all of the power
distribution center circuits is accomplished by a com-
bination of bus bars and a printed circuit board.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the negative and positive battery
cables.
(2) Remove the battery thermal guard.
(3) Remove the battery (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/BATTERY SYSTEM/BATTERY - REMOVAL).
(4) Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, twist the Inte-
grated Power Module (IPM) bracket retaining latch
outward to free the IPM from its mounting bracket
(Fig. 2).
(5) Rotate the IPM counter-clockwise to access and
disconnect the electrical connectors (Fig. 3).
(6) Remove the IPM bracket clips from the hinge.
INSTALLATION
(1) Snap the left side of the Integrated Power Mod-
ule (IPM) housing in its mounting bracket and con-
nect the various electrical connectors.NOTE: Ensure that the Connector Positive Assur-
ance (CPA) on the five-pin B+ connector is posi-
tively engaged to prevent generating a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC).
(2) Rotate the IPM clock-wise until secured in
mounting bracket. An audible click may be heard.
(3) Install the battery (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
BATTERY SYSTEM/BATTERY - INSTALLATION).
(4) Install the battery thermal guard.

cables.
(6) Using a scan tool, check for any stored diagnos-
tic trouble codes. Ensure that all vehicle options are
operational.
IOD FUSE
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) fuse that is removed from its normal
cavity in the Integrated Power Module (IPM) when
the vehicle is shipped from the factory. Dealer per-
sonnel are to remove the IOD fuse from the storage
location and install it into the IPM fuse cavity
marked IOD as part of the preparation procedures
performed just prior to new vehicle delivery.
The IOD fuse is a 20 ampere blade-type mini fuse
and, when removed, it is stored in a fuse cavity adja-
cent to the washer fuse within the IPM.
OPERATION
The term ignition-off draw (IOD) identifies a nor-
mal condition where power is being drained from the
battery with the ignition switch in the Off position.
The IOD fuse feeds the memory and sleep mode func-
tions for some of the electronic modules in the vehicle
as well as various other accessories that require bat-
tery current when the ignition switch is in the Off
position, including the clock. The only reason the
IOD fuse is removed is to reduce the normal IOD of
the vehicle electrical system during new vehicle
transportation and pre-delivery storage to reduce
battery depletion, while still allowing vehicle opera-
tion so that the vehicle can be loaded, unloaded and
moved as needed by both vehicle transportation com-
pany and dealer personnel.
The IOD fuse is removed from the Integrated
Power Module (IPM) fuse cavity when the vehicle is
shipped from the assembly plant. Dealer personnel
must install the IOD fuse when the vehicle is being
prepared for delivery in order to restore full electrical
system operation. Once the vehicle is prepared for
delivery, the IOD function of this fuse becomes trans-
parent and the fuse that has been assigned the IOD
designation becomes only another Fused B(+) circuit
fuse. The IOD fuse serves no useful purpose to the
dealer technician in the service or diagnosis of any
vehicle system or condition, other than the same pur-
pose as that of any other standard circuit protection
device.
The IOD fuse can be used by the vehicle owner as
a convenient means of reducing battery depletion
when a vehicle is to be stored for periods not to
exceed approximately thirty days. However, it mustbe remembered that removing the IOD fuse will not
eliminate IOD, but only reduce this normal condition.
If a vehicle will be stored for more than thirty days,
the battery negative cable should be disconnected to
eliminate normal IOD; and, the battery should be
tested and recharged at regular intervals during the
vehicle storage period to prevent the battery from
becoming discharged or damaged.
POWER OUTLET
DESCRIPTION
Two power outlets are installed in the instrument
panel center lower bezel. Two additional power out-
lets are incorporated into the left rear C-pillar and
the center console (if equipped). The power outlets
bases are secured by a snap fit. A hinged plug flips
closed to conceal and protect the power outlet base
when not in use.
OPERATION
The power outlet base or receptacle shell is con-
nected to ground, and an insulated contact in the
bottom of the shell is connected to battery current.
The power outlet on the instrument panel marked
with a battery receives battery voltage from a fuse in
the Integrated Power Module (IPM) at all times. The
other power outlet on the instrument panel marked
with a key receives battery voltage only when the
key is in the on position.
The power outlet located in the center console
receives battery voltage all the time when positioned
between thefront seatsand key-on voltage when
positioned between therear seats. The power outlet
located on the C-pillar receives battery voltage only
when the key is in the ON position.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TORQUE
CONVERTER HOUSING FLUID LEAKAGE
When diagnosing converter housing fluid leaks,
three actions must be taken before repair:
(1) Verify proper transmission fluid level.
(2) Verify that the leak originates from the con-
verter housing area and is transmission fluid.
(3) Determine the true source of the leak.
F
luid leakage at or around the torque converter area
may originate from an engine oil leak (Fig. 7). The area
should be examined closely. Factory fill fluid is red and,
therefore, can be distinguished from engine oil.
Some suspected converter housing fluid leaks may not
be leaks at all. They may only be the result of residual
fluid in the converter housing, or excess fluid spilled
during factory fill, or fill after repair. Converter housing
leaks have several potential sources. Through careful
observation, a leak source can be identified before
removing the transmission for repair.
Pump seal leaks tend to move along the drive hub
and onto the rear of the converter (Fig. 7). Pump o-ring
or pump body leaks follow the same path as a seal leak.
Pump attaching bolt leaks are generally deposited on
the inside of the converter housing and not on the con-
verter itself. Pump seal or gasket leaks usually travel
down the inside of the converter housing (Fig. 7).
TORQUE CONVERTER LEAKAGE
Possible sources of torque converter leakage are:
²Torque converter weld leaks at the outside diam-
eter weld (Fig. 8).
²Torque converter hub weld (Fig. 8).
REMOVAL
NOTE: If transaxle assembly is being replaced or
overhauled (clutch and/or seal replacement), it is
necessary to perform the ªQuick-Learnº Procedure.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL
MODULES/TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE -
STANDARD PROCEDURE)
(1) Disconnect battery cables.
(2) Remove battery shield (Fig. 9).
