front of the radiator and behind the front fascia and
is conbined with the A/C condensor. The transmission
cooler is a heat exchanger that allows heat in the
transmission flud to be transferred to the air passing
over the cooler fins.

blly is equipped with quick connect fitting for the
transmission oil cooler lines, a tapping block, for the
receiver/drier, and mounting provisions for the power
steering cooler.

- DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If battery connec-
tions and battery charge is OK proceed to Step 2.
(2) Using a voltmeter, test for battery voltage at
both sides of horn fuse 7. If voltage is OK, on both
sides of fuse, proceed to Fuse OK. If voltage is OK,
on one side of fuse, the fuse is blown, proceed to Step
3.
(3) Using a suitable ammeter in place of the fuse,
test amperage draw of the horn circuit. If amperage
draw is greater than 20 amps without the horn
switch depressed, a grounded circuit exists between
the fuse and the horn relay. Proceed to Step 4. If
amperage draw is greater than 20 amps with the
horn switch depressed, a grounded circuit exists
between the horn relay and the horn. Proceed to step
Step 5.
(4) Remove the horn relay from the IPM. If the
amperage draw drops to 0 amps, the horn switch or
circuit is shorted. If the amperage draw does not
drop to 0 amps, repair short at the IPM.
(5) Disengage a wire connector from one of the
horns. If amperage drops and the connected horn
sounds, replace the faulty horn. If amperage does not
drop with both horns disconnected and the horn
switch depressed, proceed to Step 6.
(6) Using a continuity tester, with the horns dis-
connected test continuity of the X2 cavity of the horn
relay to ground. If continuity is detected, the circuit
is grounded between the Junction Block and the
horns. Locate and repair pinched harness.
FUSE OK
(1) Remove the horn relay from the intelligent
power module.
(2) Using a continuity tester, Depress horn switch
and test continuity from the X3 cavity of the horn
relay to ground.
(a) If continuity is detected, proceed to Step 3.
(b) If NO continuity, proceed to Step 4.
(3) Using a suitable jumper wire, jump across the
fuse F62 cavity and the X2 cavity of the horn relay in
the Junction Block.
(a) If the horn sounds, replace the horn relay.
(b) If the horn does not sound, proceed to Step 4.
(4) Remove airbag trim cover from steering wheel.
Refer to ELECTRICAL, RESTRAINTS.
(5) Test continuity across horn switch connectors
with horn switch depressed.
(a) If continuity is detected, repair open circuit
between the relay and the horn switch.
(b) If NO continuity, replace airbag trim cover.
(6) Install horn relay into intelligent power mod-
ule.
(7) Disengage wire connectors from horns.(8) Using a voltmeter, with the horn switch
depressed test voltage across horn connector termi-
nals of the wire harness (Fig. 1).
(a) If voltage is detected, replace horns.
(b) If NO voltage, proceed to step Step 9.
(9) With the horn switch depressed, test for volt-
age between the X2 circuit and ground.
(a) If voltage OK, repair system ground at right
cowl area.
(b) If NO voltage, repair open X2 circuit between
the relay and the horns.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Hoist and support the front of the vehicle on
safety stands.
(3) From behind the front fascia and forward of
the left front wheel, disconnect the wire connectors
from horn.
(4) Remove the mounting bracket attaching nut
from the bottom of radiator closure panel. Do not
remove the horn from mounting bracket.
(5) Separate the horn(s) from vehicle.
INSTALLATION

STANDARD PROCEDURE
SETTING TRANSMITTER CODES
(1) Turn off the engine.
(2) Erase the codes by pressing the two outside
buttons. Release the buttons when the display con-
firms the operation (about 20 seconds).
(3) Choose one of the three buttons to train. Place
the hand-held transmitter within one inch of the uni-
versal transmitter and push the buttons on both
transmitters.
(4) Release both buttons. Your universal transmit-
ter is now ªtrainedº. To train the other buttons,
repeat Step 3 and Step 4. Be sure to keep your hand-
held transmitter in case you need to retrain the uni-
versal transmitter.
ERASING TRANSMITTER CODES
To erase the universal transmitter codes, simply
hold down the two outside buttons until the display
confirms the operation.
NOTE: Individual channels cannot be erased. Eras-
ing the transmitter codes will erase ALL pro-
grammed codes.
REMOVAL
(1) For the universal transmitter removal proce-
dure, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CON-
SOLE/COMPASS/MINI-TRIP COMPUTER -

AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Ambient air temperature is monitored by the over-
head console through ambient temperature messages
received from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
over the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus circuit. The PCM receives a hard
wired input from the ambient temperature sensor.
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resis-
tor mounted to a bracket that is secured with a screw
to the right side of the headlamp mounting module
grille opening, behind the radiator grille and in front
of the engine compartment.
For additional information on the PCM, (Refer to 8
- ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE -
DESCRIPTION).
OPERATION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable
resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
resistance in the sensor changes as temperature
changes, changing the temperature sensor signal cir-
cuit voltage to the PCM. Based upon the resistance
in the sensor, the PCM senses a specific voltage on
the temperature sensor signal circuit, which it is pro-
grammed to correspond to a specific temperature.
The PCM then sends the proper ambient tempera-
ture messages to the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)/Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC)
over the Programmable Communication Interface
(PCI) data bus.
The thermometer function is supported by the
ambient temperature sensor, a wiring circuit, the
PCM, the PCI data bus, and the Electronics module.
If any portion of the ambient temperature sensor cir-
cuit fails, the PCM will self-diagnose the circuit.
The ambient temperature sensor circuit can also be
diagnosed manually (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
OVERHEAD CONSOLE/AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR
- DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AMBIENT TEM-
PERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT). If the temperature
sensor and circuit are confirmed to be OK, but the
temperature display is inoperative or incorrect,
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING) to determine the cause.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropri-
ate wiring information.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor wire har-
ness connector.
(2) Measure the resistance of the ambient temper-
ature sensor. At room temperature (approx. 68ÉF),
the sensor resistance should be between 10-13 Kilo-
hms. The sensor resistance should be between these
two values at 68ÉF. If the resistance is out of range
replace the ambient temperature sensor.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor wire har-
ness connector and the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) wire harness connector.

(2) Connect a jumper wire between the two termi-
nals in the body half of the ambient temperature sen-
sor wire harness connector.
(3) Check for continuity between the sensor return
circuit and the ambient temperature sensor signal
circuit cavities of the PCM wire harness connector.
There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 4. If not
OK, repair the open sensor return circuit or ambient
temperature sensor signal circuit to the ambient tem-
perature sensor as required.
(4) Remove the jumper wire from the body half of
the ambient temperature sensor wire harness con-
nector. Check for continuity between the sensor
return circuit cavity of the PCM wire harness connec-
tor and a good ground. There should be no continuity.
If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the shorted
sensor return circuit as required.
(5) Check for continuity between the ambient tem-
perature sensor signal circuit cavity of the PCM wire
harness connector and a good ground. There should
be no continuity. If OK, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
OVERHEAD CONSOLE - DIAGNOSIS AND TEST-ING) to determine the cause. If not OK, repair the
shorted ambient temperature sensor signal circuit as
required.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) From behind the front bumper fascia, remove
