PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
The Park Assist System display activates an audi-
ble tone that changes from intermittent to continu-
ous as the final two Light Emitting Diodes (LED's)
are illuminated on one side or both sides of the dis-
play.
The system detection length from the rear of the
vehicle is 0.3 meters to 1.5 meters. This area extends
around the rear side of the vehicle. The system detec-
tion height from the ground is 0.2 meters to about
1.5 meters. The radio mutes when the system acti-
vates its audible tone.
When the driver selects Reverse the system scans
for objects behind the vehicle using four sensors
located in the rear bumper. A warning display above
the rear window provides both visible and audible
warnings indicating the range of the object.
The system is active only when the transmission
gear selector is in reverse for vehicle speeds less than
16 Km/h (10 mph). If the vehicle's Parking/Emer-
gency Brake is applied, the system is deactivated.
The display contains two sets of yellow and red
Light Emitting Diode's (LED's) that the driver can
see as they look over their shoulder while backing
up. Each side of the vehicle has its own warning
LED's. The system provides a visual warning by illu-
minating one or more yellow LED's as the vehicle
gets closer to the object. As the vehicle continues to
approach the object, one red LED is illuminated and
the system emits a series of short beeps. The tone
will remain constant and both red LED's are illumi-
nated once the vehicle is within 12 inches (30.5 cm)
of the object.
The system can be turned ON or OFF through the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) when
the vehicle is in PARK. If the park assist system is
turned OFF, a single chime will sound and the EVIC
will display the following message ªREAR PARK
ASSIST OFFº, when the vehicle is in reverse.
²Ensure that the rear bumper is free of dirt and
debris to keep the system operating properly.
²Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations
could affect the performance of the system.
²Ensure that the parking brake is not applied.
If ªService Park Assist Systemº appears in the
EVIC after making sure the rear bumper is clean,
proceed to diagnose the system using a scan tool and
the appropriate diagnostic information.
WARNING
On vehicles equipped with airbags, disable
the airbag system before attempting any steer-
ing wheel, steering column, or instrument
panel component diagnosis or service. Discon-
nect and isolate the battery negative (ground)
cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag sys-
tem capacitor to discharge before performing
further diagnosis or service. This is the only
sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure
to take the proper precautions could result in
accidental airbag deployment, personal injury,
or death.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CHIME SYSTEM
Refer to the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures
manual for complete Diagnosis and Testing of the
Chime System.
NO TONE WHEN IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED ON
AND DRIVER'S SEAT BELT IS NOT BUCKLED.
(1) Using a DRB llltscan tool, actuate chime
(BCM actuates).
(2) Using a voltmeter, check for voltage:
(a) BCM has two battery feeds at pin 1 and pin
5 of the 6±way connector.
(b) Pin 5 of the (BX2) 32 way connector of the
BCM for ignition feed.
(c) Check voltage (PX2) connector, pin 34 for 12v.
(d) If voltage OK, go to step Step 3
(e) If NO voltage repair as necessary. Refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The wiring
information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire
and connector repair procedures, further details on
wire harness routing and retention, as well as pin-
out and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices and grounds.
(3) Check drivers seat belt buckle switch input
(from Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) for a
closed circuit when not buckled. If input not seen,
look for open in wiring or switch. The switch is
grounded when belt is not buckled.
(4) Verify Programmable Communication Interface
(PCI) data bus communication between ORC and
BCM.

CHIME/BUZZER (Continued)

The BCM utilizes integrated circuitry and informa-
tion carried on the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network along with many
hard wired inputs to monitor many sensor and
switch inputs throughout the vehicle. In response to
those inputs, the internal circuitry and programming
of the BCM allow it to control and integrate many
electronic functions and features of the vehicle
through both hard wired outputs and the transmis-
sion of electronic message outputs to other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the PCI data bus.
OPERATION
The Body Control Module (BCM) supplies vehicle
occupants with visual and audible information and
controls various vehicle functions. To provide and
receive information, the BCM is interfaced to the
vehicle's serial bus communications network, referred
to as the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) bus.
This network consists of the;
²Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
²Transmission Control Module (TCM)
²Mechanical Instrument Cluster (MIC)
²Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
²Compass/Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC)
²Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
²Controller Antilock Brake (CAB)
²HVAC Control Module
²Sliding Door Control Modules (driver and pas-
senger side doors)
²Power Liftgate Module (PLG)
²Audio system equipped with RAZ, RBU, RBK,
and RBB radios.
²Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM).
²Side Impact Airbag Control Module (SIACM)²Memory Seat Module (MSM)
²Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM)
The BCM is operational when battery power is
supplied to the module.
The BCM provides the following features:
²Power Door Locks
²Automatic Door Locks
²Battery Protection - The BCM will automatically
turn off all exterior lamps after 3 minutes, and all
interior lamps after 15 minutes after the ignition is
turned off, if they are not turned off by the driver.
²Chime Control
²Compass/Mini-Trip support.
²Interior Lighting (Courtesy/Reading Lamps)
²BCM Diagnostic Reporting
²Electronic Liftgate Release (with Power Door
Locks)
²Exterior Lighting
²Headlamp Time Delay (with/without Automatic

²Illuminated Entry
²Fade to Off Interior Lamps - This feature dims
the interior lighting (courtesy lamps) gradually if the
BCM does not receive any new inputs that would
cause the interior lamps to remain on.
²Pulse Width Modulated Instrument Panel Dim-
ming
²Door Lock Inhibit - This feature disables the
door lock functions if the key is in the ignition and
either front door is ajar. Pressing the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) lock/unlock button under these condi-
tions result in normal lock/unlock activation.

POWER SEAT SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
POWER SEAT SYSTEM
The power seat system option allows the driver
and front seat passenger to electrically adjust their
seating positions for optimum control and comfort.
The driver side power front seat can be adjusted in
eight different directions: up, down, front up, front
down, rear up, rear down, forward, rearward and
recliner forward and rearward. The passenger side
power front seat can be adjusted in four different
directions: forward, rearward and recliner forward
and rearward.
The power seat system receives battery current
through a 40 amp fuse in the Integrated Power Mod-
ule (IPM) and a 30 amp circuit breaker under the
seat so that the power seats remain operational,
regardless of the ignition switch position.
WARNING: SOME VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH
SEATBACK MOUNTED AIRBAGS (Fig. 1). BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO DIAGNOSE OR SERVICE ANY
SEAT OR POWER SEAT SYSTEM COMPONENT
YOU MUST FIRST DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE
BATTERY NEGATIVE CABLE. THEN WAIT TWO MIN-
UTES FOR THE SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DIS-
CHARGE BEFORE FURTHER SYSTEM SERVICE.
THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE
AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO DO SO COULDRESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
The eight-way driver side power seat is also avail-
able with the heated seat and/or memory seat sys-
tem. The memory seat system automatically
positions the power seat for two different drivers.

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.
MEMORY SYSTEM
The Memory Seat Mirror Module (MSMM) receives
battery current through fuse #22 in the Integrated
Power Module (IPM) and the power seat system cir-
cuit breaker, located under the driver side front seat
near the rear edge of the seat cushion pan. The mem-
ory system does not operate with the Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) fuse removed. The MSMM will drive a
maximum of 2 motors at a time in a given direction.
If conflicting directions are requested, the priority for
response will be approximately as follows:
²Seat Track Rearward or Forward
²Seat Front Down or Up
²Seat Rear Down or Up
²Recliner Rearward or Forward
The inputs from these switches to the MSMM is a
current limited battery source fed by the MSMM.
This protects the MSMM printed circuit board traces
from acting as fuses. All of these switch contact
inputs to the MSMM are normally closed to ground,
except when actuated.
For diagnosis of the MSMM, the Programmable
Communication Interface (PCI) data bus, or the other
electronic modules on the PCI data bus that provide
inputs and outputs for the memory system, the use of
a DRBIIItor equivalent scan tool and the proper
Diagnostic Procedures information is recommended.
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
serves as the user interface for the memory system.
It displays memory system status messages and pro-
vides the user with the means for enabling and dis-
abling the many customer programmable features
available on the vehicle, including those for the mem-
ory system.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CON-
SOLE/ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER -
DESCRIPTION) for additional information on the
EVIC.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
POWER SEAT SYSTEM
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
hard wired components and circuits of the power seat
system. However, if the vehicle is also equipped with
the optional memory system, these tests may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the driver side
power seat. In order to obtain conclusive testing ofthe driver side power seat with the memory system
option, the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network and all of the electronic mod-
ules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from
the memory system components must be checked,
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER SEATS - DIAG-
NOSIS AND TESTING).
WARNING: SOME VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH
SEATBACK MOUNTED AIRBAGS. BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO DIAGNOSE OR SERVICE ANY
SEAT OR POWER SEAT SYSTEM COMPONENT
YOU MUST FIRST DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE
BATTERY NEGATIVE CABLE. THEN WAIT TWO MIN-
UTES FOR THE SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DIS-
CHARGE BEFORE FURTHER SYSTEM SERVICE.
THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE
AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
(1) If either power seat is completely inoperable,
check the power seat circuit breaker, located under
the trailing edge of the driver side power seat. If the
power seat circuit breaker is OK, continue to the
next step.
(2) Check for proper battery and ground connec-
tions at the power seat switch and/or memory seat
module. Repair any wiring as necessary.
(3) Check the power seat system wire harness con-
nections and pins to ensure proper circuit continuity
and ground paths.
MEMORY SYSTEM
In order to obtain conclusive testing of the memory
system, the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network and all of the electronic mod-
ules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from
the memory system components must be checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the driver side power seat with the memory
system option requires the use of a DRBIIItor
equivalent scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Proce-
dures information. The DRBIIItscan tool can pro-
vide confirmation that the PCI data bus is functional,
that all of the electronic modules are sending and
receiving the proper messages on the PCI data bus,
and that the memory system is receiving the proper
hard wired inputs and relaying the proper hard
wired outputs to perform its driver side power seat
functions.
(1) If the driver power seat exhibits an interrupted
or jerky motion, ensure the wire harness is connected
correctly. To verify the concern, obtain a DRB IIItor
equivalent scan tool and energize each axis one at a
time. If any axis stops in approximately 2 seconds
(without hitting the end of travel), the feedback for

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.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
POWER SEAT TRACK
WARNING: SOME VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH
SEATBACK MOUNTED AIRBAGS. BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO DIAGNOSE OR SERVICE ANY
SEAT OR POWER SEAT SYSTEM COMPONENT
YOU MUST FIRST DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE

UTES FOR THE SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DIS-
CHARGE BEFORE FURTHER SYSTEM SERVICE.
THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE
AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
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.
TESTING POWER SEAT TRACK MOTORS
(1) Check the power seat circuit breaker under the
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 -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If the switch tests OK,
test the circuits of the power seat wire harness
between the inoperative power seat track adjuster
motor and the power seat switch for shorts or opens.
If the circuits check OK, replace the faulty power
seat track unit. If the circuits are not OK, repair the
power seat wire harness as required.
