AUTOMATIC DAY / NIGHT
MIRROR
DESCRIPTION
An automatic dimming inside day/night rear view
mirror and an automatic dimming driver side outside
rear view mirror are available factory-installed
options on this model. Following is a general descrip-
tion of this optional equipment.
The automatic day/night mirror is able to automat-
ically change its reflectance. A thin layer of electro-
chromic material between two pieces of conductive
glass make up the face of the mirror. Two photocell
sensors are used to monitor light levels and adjust
the reflectance of the mirror to reduce the glare of
headlamps approaching the vehicle from the rear.
For removal procedures, (Refer to 23 - BODY/IN-
TERIOR/REAR VIEW MIRROR - REMOVAL).
OPERATION
The ambient photocell sensor faces forward, to
detect the outside light levels. A second sensor faces
rearward to detect the light level received through
the vehicles back window. When the difference
between the two light levels becomes too great (the
light level received at the rear of the mirror is much
higher than that at the front of the mirror), the mir-
ror begins to darken.
The mirror switch allows the driver a manual con-
trol of whether the automatic dimming feature is
operational. When AUTO is selected a small Light-
Emitting Diode (LED), to the right of the mirror
switch, is illuminated. The automatic dimming fea-
ture will only operate when the ignition switch is in
the On position. The mirror also senses the backup
lamp circuit, and will automatically disable its self-
dimming feature whenever the transmission gear
selector is in the Reverse position.
NOTE: The mirror always defaults to an ON state
upon ignition.
The driver side automatic dimming mirror is stan-
dard with the automatic dimming inside mirror. The
signal to control the dimming of that mirror is gen-
erated by the automatic day/night inside rear view
mirror circuitry. That signal is then delivered to the
driver side outside rear view mirror on a hard wired
circuit.
The automatic day/night mirror cannot be
repaired. If faulty or damaged, the entire inside rear
view mirror assembly must be replaced.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
AUTOMATIC DAY / NIGHT MIRROR
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, refer to the
appropriate wiring information. The wiring informa-
tion includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and con-
nector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness con-
nectors, splices and grounds.
(1) Check the fuse in the intelligent power module.
If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the shorted cir-
cuit or component as required and replace the faulty
fuse.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the intelli-
gent power module. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK,
repair the open circuit to the ignition switch as
required.
(3) Unplug the wire harness connector from the
automatic day/night mirror. Check for battery voltage
at the fused ignition switch output circuit cavity of
the automatic day/night mirror wire harness connec-
tor. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open
circuit to the junction block as required.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit cav-
ity of the automatic day/night mirror wire harness
connector and a good ground. There should be conti-
nuity. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the cir-
cuit to ground as required.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Set
the parking brake. Place the transmission gear selec-
tor lever in the Reverse position. Check for battery
voltage at the backup lamp switch output circuit cav-
ity of the automatic day/night mirror wire harness
connector. If voltage is present, reinstall the auto-
matic day/night mirror wire harness connector and
go to Step 6. If not OK, repair the open circuit as
required.
(6) Place the transmission gear selector lever in
the Neutral position. Place the automatic day/night
mirror switch in the On (LED in the switch is
lighted) position. Cover the forward facing ambient
photocell sensor to keep out any ambient light.
NOTE: The ambient photocell sensor must be cov-
ered completely, so that no light reaches the sen-
sor. Use a finger pressed tightly against the sensor,
or cover the sensor completely with electrical tape.
(7) Shine a light into the rearward facing head-
lamp photocell sensor. The automatic day/night mir-
ror should darken. The automatic day/night mirror
should darken within 2 minutes if testing for the
first time. For immediate response, turn the vehicle

MEMORY SYSTEM
The memory system is able to store and recall the
driver side power seat positions (including the power
recliner position), power adjustable pedal positions
and the driver outside mirror position for two driv-
ers. On vehicles equipped with a factory radio, the
memory system is also able to store and recall radio
station presets for two drivers. The memory system
also will store and recall the last station listened to
for each driver, even if it is not one of the preset sta-
tions.
The memory system will automatically return to
its preset settings when the corresponding numbered
button of the memory switch is depressed, or when
the doors are unlocked using the corresponding
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. A customer
programmable feature of the memory system allows
the RKE recall of memory features to be disabled, if
desired. This programmable feature is internal in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) mod-
ule, which is located in the overhead console.
A Memory Seat Mirror Module (MSMM) is used to
control and integrate the many electronic functions
and features included in the memory seat and mirror
systems.

nents:
²Memory Seat Mirror Module (MSMM)
²Memory set switch
²Position potentiometers on the driver outside
side view mirror
²Position potentiometers on the power adjustable
pedal motor²Position potentiometers on the driver side power
seat track and power seat recliner motors
²Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
²Radio receiver (if PCI data bus capable)
Certain functions of the memory system rely upon
resources shared with other electronic modules in the
vehicle over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network. Initial diagnosis of
these electronic modules or the PCI data bus network
requires the use of a DRBIIItor equivalent scan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures information. If
this method does not prove conclusive, the proper
wiring schematics and the service manual diagnostic
information are required.
The other electronic modules that may affect mem-
ory system operation are:

OPERATION
POWER SEAT SYSTEM
The power seat system receives battery current
through fuse #22 in the Integrated Power Module
(IPM) and a circuit breaker under the front seats,
regardless of the ignition switch position.
When a power seat switch control knob or knobs
are actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the appropri-
ate power seat track adjuster motor. The selected
adjuster motor operates to move the seat track
through its drive unit in the selected direction until
the switch is released, or until the travel limit of the
seat track is reached. When the switch is moved in
the opposite direction, the battery feed and ground
path to the motor are reversed through the switch
contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to run in the
opposite direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any
direction after the seat track has reached its travel
limit. The power seat adjuster motor each contain a

MEMORY SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the memory system have a
memory switch mounted to the driver side front door
trim panel (Fig. 5). This switch is used to set and recall
all of the memory system settings for up to two drivers.
The memory switch is a resistor multiplexed unit that
is hard wired to the Body Control Module (BCM). The
BCM sends out the memory system set and recall
requests to the other electronic modules over the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus.
The memory switch cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The memory switch has three momentary switch
buttons labeled Set, 1 and 2. When the memory set
switch is depressed, a resistance value is sent to the
Body Control Module (BCM) via hard wired connec-
tions. When the memory system is in ªsetº mode a
chime will be generated by the BCM.

POWER SEAT TRACK
DESCRIPTION
The power seat option includes an electrically oper-
ated power seat track located under the front seat. If
equipped with Memory System, the front power seat
track on the driver side of the vehicle also provides
the mounting location for the Memory Seat/Mirror
Module (MSMM). The power seat circuit breakers are
mounted on the rear of the power seat track, just
behind the seat rear trim panel. The lower half of the
power seat track is secured to the floor panel via four
studs and nuts that must be accessed from the
underside of the vehicle. Four bolts secure the bot-
tom of the seat cushion pan to the upper half of the
power seat track unit. Four additional bolts secure
the seat back frame to the power seat track unit.
The eight-way power seat track unit includes four
reversible electric motors that are secured to the
upper half of the track unit. Each motor moves the
seat adjuster through a combination of worm-drive
gearboxes and screw-type drive units. Each of the
four power seat track motors used on models
equipped with the optional memory system incorpo-
rate a position potentiometer integral to the motor
assembly, which electronically monitors the motor
position. This enables the memory system to function
by referencing the motor positions programmed into
the memory seat/mirror module.
The front and rear of the seat are operated by two
separate vertical adjustment motors. These motors
can be operated independently of each other, tilting
the entire seat assembly forward or rearward. They
can also be operated in unison by selecting the
proper power seat switch functions, which will raise
or lower the entire seat assembly. A third motor is
the horizontal adjustment motor, which moves the
seat track in the forward and aft directions. The
forth motor is the recliner adjustment motor, which
moves the seat back in the forward and rearward
directions.
The four-way power seat track unit includes two
reversible electric motors that are secured to the
RSPOWER SEAT SYSTEM8N-37
MEMORY SWITCH (Continued)

upper half of the track unit. Each motor moves the
seat adjuster through a combination of worm-drive
gearboxes and screw-type drive units. The horizontal
adjustment motor moves the seat track in the for-
ward and aft directions. The recliner adjustment
motor moves the seat back in the forward and rear-
ward directions.
The power seat track unit cannot be repaired, and
is serviced only as a complete unit. If any component
in this unit is faulty or damaged, the entire power
seat track unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
When the power seat switch control knob or knobs
are actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the power seat
track or recliner adjuster motor. The selected
adjuster motor operates to move the seat track or
recliner through its drive unit in the selected direc-
tion until the switch is released, or until the travel
limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is
moved in the opposite direction, the battery feed and
ground path to the motor are reversed through the
switch contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to
run in the opposite direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any
direction after the adjuster has reached its travel
limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a
self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from
overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting
of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to con-
tinue, or the motor may be damaged.

Actuate the power seat switch to move the power
seat track adjusters in each direction. The power seat
track adjusters should move in each of the selected
directions. If a power seat track adjuster operates in
one direction only, move the adjuster a short distance
in the opposite direction and test again to be certainthat the adjuster is not at its travel limit. If the
power seat track adjuster still operates in one direc-
tion only, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
SEATS/DRIVER SEAT SWITCH - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). If the power seat track adjuster does not
operate in more than one direction, perform the fol-
lowing tests.

seat. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, replace the
faulty power seat circuit breaker.
(2) Check for battery voltage at the power seat cir-
cuit breaker under the seat. If OK, go to Step 3. If
not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the fuse
in the Integrated Power Module (IPM) as required.
(3) Remove the outboard seat cushion side cover,
(Refer to 23 - BODY/SEATS/SEAT CUSHION SIDE
COVERS - REMOVAL). Disconnect the wire harness
connector from the power seat switch. Check for bat-
tery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of the
power seat switch wire harness connector. If OK, go
to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) cir-
cuit to the power seat circuit breaker under the seat
as required.
(4) Check for continuity between the ground cir-
cuit cavity of the power seat switch wire harness con-
nector and a known good ground. There should be
continuity. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the
open ground circuit as required.
(5) Test the power seat switch, (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/POWER SEATS/DRIVER SEAT SWITCH -
