FRONT CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Front Control Module (FCM) is a micro con-
troller based module located in the engine compart-
ment. The FCM mates to the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) to form the Integrated Power Module
(IPM). The IPM connects directly to the battery and
provides the primary means of circuit protection and
power distribution for all vehicle electrical systems.
The FCM controls power to some of these vehicle sys-
tems electrical and electromechanical loads based on
inputs received from hard wired switch inputs and
data received on the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus.
For information on the IPM, (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/POWER DISTRIBUTION/INTEGRATED
POWER MODULE - DESCRIPTION)
OPERATION
As messages are sent over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus, the Front Con-
trol Module (FCM) reads these messages and controls
power to some of the vehicles electrical systems by
completing the circuit to ground (low side driver) or
completing the circuit to 12 volt power (high side
driver).

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
FRONT CONTROL MODULE
The Front Control Module (FCM) is a printed cir-
cuit board based module with a on-board micro-pro-
cessor. The FCM interfaces with other electronic
modules in the vehicle via the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus. In order to
obtain conclusive testing the PCI data bus and all of
the electronic modules that provide inputs to, or
receive outputs from the FCM must be checked. All
PCI communication faults must be resolved prior to
further diagnosing any front control module related
issues.
The FCM was designed to be diagnosed with an
appropriate diagnostic scan tool, such as the DRB
IIIt. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the front control module requires the use
of a DRB IIItscan tool and the proper Body Diag-
nostic Procedures manual.
Before any testing of the FCM is attempted, the
battery should be fully charged and all wire harness
and ground connections inspected around the affected
areas on the vehicle.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the negative and posi-
tive battery cables from the battery.
(2) Remove the battery (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/BATTERY SYSTEM/BATTERY - REMOVAL).
(3) Using a long flat-bladed screwdriver, gently
twist the Integrated Power Module (IPM) retaining
clip outboard to free the IPM from its mounting
bracket (Fig. 5). Rotate IPM upward to access the
Front Control Module (FCM) retaining screws.
(4) Remove the front control module retaining
screws.
(5) Pull the FCM straight from the IPM assembly
to disconnect the electrical connector (Fig. 6) and
remove the FCM from the vehicle.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Front Control Module must be programmed
to the correct radio EQ curve using the DRB IIIT.
This will ensure that the audio system is operating
correctly.
(1) Install the Front Control Module (FCM) in the
Integrated Power Module (IPM) assembly by pushing
the 49-way electrical connector straight in.

Brand Speakers (Infinity, etc.) or Headlamp Washers
the DRB IIITmust be used to Disable the appropri-
ate relays in the Integrated Power Module Assem-
bly.
HEATED SEAT MODULE
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with heated seats utilize two
heated seat modules. The heated seat modules are
located under the front seats, where they are secured
to the seat cushion pans. Each heated seat module
has three connector receptacles that allow the mod-
ules to be connected to all of the required inputs and
outputs through the seat wire harness.
The heated seat modules are an electronic micro-
processor controlled device designed and programmed
to use inputs from the ignition switch, heated seat
switch and the heated seat sensor to operate and
control the heated seat elements in the front seat.
OPERATION
The heated seat module operates on fused battery
current received from the Integrated Power Module
(IPM). The module is grounded at all times through
the seat wire harness. Inputs to the module include a
resistor multiplexed heated seat switch request cir-
cuit for the heated seat switch and the heated seat
sensor inputs from the seat cushions of each front
seat. In response to those inputs the heated seat
module controls battery current feeds to the heated
seat elements.
When a heated seat switch request signal is
received by the heated seat module and the enable
input is high, the heated seat module energizes the
selected heated seat sensor circuit and the sensor
provides the module with an input indicating the
surface temperature of the selected seat cushion.
The Low heat set point is approximately 35É C (95É
F), and the High heat set point is approximately 40É
C (104É F). If the seat cushion surface temperature
input is below the temperature set point for the
selected temperature setting, the heated seat module
energizes an N-channel Field Effect Transistor
(N-FET) within the module which energizes the
heated seat elements in the selected seat cushion and
back. When the sensor input to the module indicates
the correct temperature set point has been achieved,
the module de-energizes the N-FET which de-ener-

gizes the heated seat elements. The heated seat mod-
ule will continue to cycle the N-FET as needed to
maintain the selected temperature set point.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
HEATED SEAT MODULE
If a heated seat heats but one or both indicator
lamps on the heated seat switch fail to operate, test
the heated seat switch. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
HEATED SEATS/DRIVER HEATED SEAT SWITCH
- DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If the heated seat
switch checks OK, proceed as follows.
(1) Check the heated seat element (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/HEATED SEATS/HEATED SEAT
ELEMENT - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
(2) Check the heated seat sensor (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/HEATED SEATS/HEATED SEAT
SENSOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
(3) Using a voltmeter, back probe the appropriate
heated seat module connector, do not disconnect.
Check for battery voltage at the appropriate pin cav-
ities. If OK go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open
or shorted voltage supply circuit as required.
(4) Using a ohmmeter, back probe the appropriate
heated seat module connector, do not disconnect.
Check for proper continuity to ground on the ground
pin cavities. Continuity should be present. If OK
replace the heated seat module. If Not OK, repair the
open or shorted ground circuit as required.

MEMORY SEAT/MIRROR
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the memory seat/mirror
option, utilize a memory module located under the
drivers front seat. This module is basically wired in-
line between the power seat switch and the power
seat track/adjuster motors, or in-line between the
power mirror switch and the power side view mir-
ror(s) motor(s). The Memory Seat/Mirror Module
(MSMM) contains a central processing unit that com-
municates with other modules on the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network.
The MSMM receives hard wired inputs from the
driver power seat switch and the potentiometers on
each of the driver side power seat track motors, or
from the power mirror switch and the potentiometers
on the side view mirror. The MSMM receives mes-
sages over the PCI data bus from the Body Control
Module (BCM) (memory switch status), the Power-
train Control Module (PCM) (vehicle speed status).
The MSMM will prevent the seat memory recall
function from being initiated if the driver side seat
belt is buckled, if the transmission gear selector lever
is not in the Park or Neutral positions, or if the vehi-
cle is moving.
For diagnosis of the MSMM or the PCI data bus, a
DRB IIItscan tool and the proper Diagnostic Proce-
dures Information are recommended. The MSMM
cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must
be replaced.
OPERATION
When memory system operation is requested
(depressing of the memory switch), a resistor multi-
plexed signal is sent from the memory switch to the
Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM will then
send the appropriate signals out to the Memory Seat/
Mirror Module (MSMM), the MSMM then applies the
voltage supply to the power seat track or side-view
mirror if the proper requirements are met. The vehi-
cle speed must equal zero and the transmission must
be in park or neutral in order for the memory system
to function.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
MEMORY SEAT/MIRROR MODULE
Any diagnosis of the Memory Seat/Mirror sys-
tem should begin with the use of the DRB IIIt
diagnostic tool. For information on the use of
the DRB IIIt, refer to the appropriate Diagnos-
tic Procedures information.

POWER LIFTGATE CONTROL
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power liftgate (PLG) uti-
lize a PLG control module. This module is located on
the vehicles left side D-pillar just below the motor
assembly (Fig. 7) and contains a microprocessor,
which is used to communicate to the vehicles body
control module. The PLG control module receives and
monitors logic inputs from all the PLG system
switches except for the outside handle switch. This
module also contains the software technology to
detect liftgate obstructions and stop and/or reverse
the door accordingly.
OPERATION

electronic circuitry and software used to control the
sequence of events for the power liftgate system. This
module communicates on the Programmable Commu-
nications Interface (PCI) bus circuit with the vehicles
Body Control Module (BCM) to monitor many differ-
ent inputs and outputs such as door lock status,
transmission gear selector position and vehicle speed.(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER DOORS - OPER-
ATION) for more information.

Based on inputs it receives, the powertrain control
module (PCM) adjusts fuel injector pulse width, idle
speed, ignition timing, and canister purge operation.
The PCM regulates the cooling fans, air conditioning
and speed control systems. The PCM changes gener-
ator charge rate by adjusting the generator field.
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width (air-fuel
ratio) based on the following inputs.
²Battery Voltage
²Intake Air Temperature Sensor
²Engine Coolant Temperature
²Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)
²Exhaust Gas Oxygen Content (heated oxygen
sensors)
²Manifold Absolute Pressure
²Throttle Position
The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the
idle air control motor based on the following inputs.
²Brake Switch²Engine Coolant Temperature
²Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)
²Park/Neutral
²Transaxle Gear Engagement
²Throttle Position
²Vehicle Speed
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based on the fol-
lowing inputs.
²Intake Air Temperature
²Engine Coolant Temperature
²Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)
²Knock Sensor
²Manifold Absolute Pressure
²Park/Neutral
²Transaxle Gear Engagement
²Throttle Position
The automatic shut down (ASD) and fuel pump
relays are mounted externally, but turned on and off
by the powertrain control module through the same
circuit.
The camshaft and crankshaft signals are sent to
the powertrain control module. If the PCM does not
receive both signals within approximately one second
of engine cranking, it deactivates the ASD and fuel
pump relays. When these relays are deactivated,
power is shut off to the fuel injectors, ignition coils,
fuel pump and the heating element in each oxygen
sensor.
The PCM contains a voltage converter that
changes battery voltage to a regulated 8.0 volts. The
8.0 volts power the camshaft position sensor, crank-
shaft position sensor and vehicle speed sensor. The
PCM also provides a 5.0 volts supply for the engine
coolant temperature sensor, intake air temperature
sensor, manifold absolute pressure sensor and throt-
tle position sensor.
The PCM engine control strategy prevents reduced
idle speeds until after the engine operates for 320 km
(200 miles). If the PCM is replaced after 320 km (200
miles) of usage, update the mileage in new PCM. Use
the DRBIIItscan tool to change the mileage in the
PCM. Refer to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic
Manual and the DRBIIItscan tool.
TRANSMISSION CONTROL
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEX (CVI)
An important function of the PCM is to monitor
Clutch Volume Index (CVI). CVIs represent the vol-
ume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack.
The PCM monitors gear ratio changes by monitor-
ing the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The Input,
or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an electrical signal to
the PCM that represents input shaft rpm. The Out-
put Speed Sensor provides the PCM with output
shaft speed information.
8E - 12 ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULESRS
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (Continued)

By comparing the two inputs, the PCM can deter-
mine transaxle gear ratio. This is important to the
CVI calculation because the PCM determines CVIs
by monitoring how long it takes for a gear change to
occur (Fig. 10).
Gear ratios can be determined by using the DRB
Scan Tool and reading the Input/Output Speed Sen-
sor values in the ªMonitorsº display. Gear ratio can
be obtained by dividing the Input Speed Sensor value
by the Output Speed Sensor value.
For example, if the input shaft is rotating at 1000
rpm and the output shaft is rotating at 500 rpm,
then the PCM can determine that the gear ratio is
2:1. In direct drive (3rd gear), the gear ratio changes
to 1:1. The gear ratio changes as clutches are applied
and released. By monitoring the length of time it
takes for the gear ratio to change following a shift
request, the PCM can determine the volume of fluid
used to apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply
the friction elements are continuously updated for
adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the vol-
ume of fluid need to apply the element increases.
Certain mechanical problems within the clutch
assemblies (broken return springs, out of position
snap rings, excessive clutch pack clearance, improper
assembly, etc.) can cause inadequate or out-of-range
clutch volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed
Sensors and wiring can cause these conditions. The
following chart identifies the appropriate clutch vol-
umes and when they are monitored/updated:

UD 4-3 or 4-2 shift > 5É 24 to 70
SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the PCM has programming
that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules.
Shift schedule selection is dependent on the follow-
ing:
²Shift lever position
²Throttle position²Engine load
²Fluid temperature
²Software level
As driving conditions change, the PCM appropri-
ately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the follow-
ing chart to determine the appropriate operation
expected, depending on driving conditions.

OPERATION - SENSOR RETURN - PCM INPUT
The sensor return circuit provides a low electrical
noise ground reference for all of the systems sensors.
The sensor return circuit connects to internal ground
circuits within the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM).
OPERATION - DATA BUS COMMUNICATION
RECEIVE - PCM INPUT
The PCM uses the SCI communication bus to pre-
form engine diagnostics and flash operations. The
transmission side of the PCM uses the SCI commu-
nication bus to flash new software. However, diagnos-tics is performed via the vehicles J1850 bus for the
transmission side of the PCM.
OPERATION - IGNITION SENSE - PCM INPUT
The ignition sense input informs the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) that the ignition switch is in
the crank or run position.
OPERATION - PCM GROUND
Ground is provided through multiple pins of the
PCM connector. Depending on the vehicle there may
be as many as two different ground pins. There are
power grounds and sensor grounds.
