little longer before the next upshift. If the driving
style is still aggressive, the shift point is modified up
to ten steps. If the driving returns to normal, then
the shift point modification also returns to the base
position.
This adaptation has no memory. The adaptation to
driving style is nothing more than a shift point mod-
ification meant to assist an aggressive driver. The
shift points are adjusted for the moment and return
to base position as soon as the inputs are controlled
in a more rational manner.
Shift Time Adaptation (Shift Overlap Adaptation, Working
Pressure)
Shift time adaptation is the ability of the TCM to
electronically alter the time it takes to go from one
gear to another. Shift time is defined as the time it
takes to disengage one shift member while another is
being applied. Shift time adaptation is divided into
four categories:
1. Accelerating upshift, which is an upshift under
a load. For shift time adaptation for the 1-2 upshift
to take place, the transmission must shift from 1st to
2nd in six different engine load ranges vs. transmis-
sion output speed ranges.
2. Decelerating upshift, which is an upshift under
no load. This shift is a rolling upshift and is accom-
plished by letting the vehicle roll into the next gear.
3. Accelerating downshift, which is a downshift
under load. This shift can be initiated by the throttle,
with or without kickdown. The shift selector can also
be used.
4. Decelerating downshift, which is accomplished
by coasting down. As the speed of the vehicle
decreases, the transmission downshifts.
Fill Pressure Adaptation (Apply Pressure Adaptation, Modu-
lating Pressure)
Fill pressure adaptation is the ability of the TCM
to modify the pressure used to engage a shift mem-
ber. The value of this pressure determines how firm
the shift will be.
²If too much pressure is used, the shift will be
hard.
²If too little pressure is used, the transmission
may slip.
The pressure adjustment is needed to compensate
for the tolerances of the shift pressure solenoid valve.
The amount the solenoid valve opens as well as how
quickly the valve can move, has an effect on the pres-
sure. The return spring for the shift member pro-
vides a resistance that must be overcome by the
pressure in order for shift member to apply. These
return springs have slightly different values. This
also affects the application pressure and is compen-
sated for by fill pressure adaptation.Fill Time Adaptation (Engagement Time Adaptation)
Fill time is the time it takes to fill the piston cav-
ity and take up any clearances for a friction element
(clutch or brake). Fill time adaptation is the ability of
the TCM to modify the time it takes to fill the shift
member by applying a preload pressure.
CONTROLLER MODES OF OPERATION
Permanent Limp - In Mode
When the TCM determines there is a non-recover-
able condition present that does not allow proper
transmission operation, it places the transmission in
permanent Limp-In Mode. When the condition occurs
the TCM turns off all solenoids as well as the sole-
noid supply output circuit. If this occurs while the
vehicle is moving, the transmission remains in the
current gear position until the ignition is turned off
or the shifter is placed in the ªPº position. When the
shifter has been placed in ªP,º the transmission only
allows 2nd gear operation. If this occurs while the
vehicle is not moving, the transmission only allows
operation in 2nd gear.
Temporary Limp - In Mode
This mode is the same as the permanent Limp-In
Mode except if the condition is no longer present, the
system resumes normal operation.
Under Voltage Limp - In Mode
When the TCM detects that system voltage has
dropped below 8.5 volts, it disables voltage-depen-
dant diagnostics and places the transmission in the
temporary Limp-In Mode. When the TCM senses
that the voltage has risen above 9.0 volts, normal
transmission operation is resumed.
Hardware Error Mode
When the TCM detects a major internal error, the
transmission is placed in the permanent Limp-In
Mode and ceases all communication over the CAN
bus. When the TCM has entered this mode normal
transmission operation does not resume until all
DTCs are cleared from the TCM.
Loss of Drive
If the TCM detects a situation that has resulted or
may result in a catastrophic engine or transmission
problem, the transmission is placed in the neutral
position. Improper Ratio, Input Sensor Overspeed or
Engine Overspeed DTCs cause the loss of drive.
Controlled Limp - in Mode
When a failure does not require the TCM to shut
down the solenoid supply, but the failure is severe
enough that the TCM places the transmission into a

HEATED GLASS
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Grid lines can be damaged or scraped
off with sharp instruments. Care should be taken in
cleaning glass or removing foreign materials,
decals or stickers. Normal glass cleaning solvents
or hot water used with rags or toweling is recom-
mended.
The rear window defogger system, also known as
the electric backlight (EBL), consists of a backglass
with two vertical bus bars linked by a series of grid
lines fired onto the inside surface of the rear window.
The EBL system is turned On or Off by a control
switch (Fig. 1) located in the instrument panel near
the right side of the steering wheel, which sends a
request signal to the rear window defogger module
that operates the left and right rear window defogger
relays located in the fuse/relay block under the driv-
ers seat.
Circuit protection is provided by a 30 amp fuse
also located in the fuse/relay block.
OPERATION
When the rear window defogger switch is pressed
to the On position, current is directed through the
switch to the rear window defogger module. The rear
window defogger module then grounds the control
side of the left and right rear window defogger (EBL)

VAHEATED SYSTEMS 8G - 1

relays which allows battery current to flow to the
rear window defogger grid lines. The heated grid
lines heat the rear glass to help clear the rear win-
dow surfaces of fog or frost.
The electric backlight (EBL) system is controlled
by the EBL timing circuity, which is integral to the
rear window defogger module. A yellow indicator in
the switch will illuminate to indicate when the EBL
system is turned on.
NOTE: The EBL system turns off automatically after
approximately 10 minutes of initial operation. Each
following activation cycle of the EBL system will
last approximately five minutes.
The EBL system will be automatically turned off
after a programmed time interval of about ten min-
utes. After the initial time interval has expired, if the
rear window defogger switch is pressed to the On
position again during the same ignition cycle, the
EBL system will automatically turn off after about
five minutes.
The EBL system will automatically shut off if the
ignition switch is turned to the Off position, or it can
be turned off manually by pressing the defogger
switch a second time.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
ELECTRIC BACKLIGHT (EBL) SYSTEM
NOTE: Illumination of the defogger switch indicator
lamp means that there is electrical current available
at the output of the rear window defogger logic cir-
cuitry, but does not confirm that the electrical cur-
rent is reaching the rear glass heating grid lines.
NOTE: For circuit descriptions and diagrams of the
EBL system, refer to 8W - WIRING DIAGRAM
INFORMATION.
Operation of the electrical backlight (EBL) system
can be confirmed by the following:
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Set
the rear window defogger switch in the On position.
The rear window defogger operation can be checked
by feeling the rear window glass. A distinct difference
in temperature between the grid lines and the adja-
cent clear glass should be detected within three to
four minutes of operation.
(2) If a temperature difference is not detected, use
a 12-volt DC voltmeter and contact the rear glass
heating grid terminal B with the negative lead, and
terminal A with the positive lead (Fig. 2). The volt-
meter should read battery voltage. If the voltmeter
does not read battery voltage, check the following:²Confirm that the ignition switch is in the On
position.
²Make sure that the rear glass heating grid feed
wires and ground wires are connected to the window
terminals. Confirm that the ground wires have conti-
nuity to ground.
²Check that fuse 7 (15 amp) in fuse block #1 and
fuse 10 (30 amp) in the fuse/relay block are OK. The
fuses must be tight in there receptacles and all elec-
trical connections must be secure.
(3) When the above steps have been completed and
the rear glass heating grid is still inoperative, one or
more of the following is faulty.
²Rear window defogger switch in the instrument
panel.
²Rear window defogger (EBL) relays in the fuse/
relay block.
²Rear window defogger (EBL) relay control circu-
ity in the rear window defogger module.
²Check for a loose wire connector or a wire
pushed out of a connector.
²Rear window grid lines (all grid lines would
have to be broken, or the power feed or ground wire
not connected, for the entire heating grid to be inop-
erative).
(4) If the system operation has been verified but
the defogger switch indicator does not illuminate,
check for voltage at the defogger indicator from the
rear window defogger module when the defogger
switch is activated. If power is present, replace the
rear window defogger switch.
(5) If broken defogger grid lines are suspected, use
a 12-volt DC voltmeter and contact terminal B with
the negative lead and each rear glass heating grid
line at it's mid-point with the positive lead. The volt-
meter should read approximately 6 volts at each grid
line mid-point C. If the voltmeter does not read
approximately 6 volts, repair the open grid line(s)
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HEATED GLASS/REAR
WINDOW DEFOGGER GRID - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE).

The heated seat system components operate on
battery current received through a fuse in the Fuse
Block on a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) cir-
cuit so that the system will only operate when the
ignition switch is in the On or Accessory positions.
The heated seat system will be turned Off automati-
cally whenever the ignition switch is turned to any
position except On or Accessory. Also, the heated seat
system will not operate when the surface tempera-
ture of the seat cushion cover at either heated seat
sensor is above the designed temperature set points
of the system.DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEATS

DRIVER HEATED SEAT
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat switches are located on the instru-
ment panel, in the accessory switch bezel. The two,
momentary rocker type switches provide a signal to
the Heated Seat Relay through separate hard wired
circuits. Each switch contains two light emitting
diodes (LED), one for each High and Low setting to
let the occupant know that the seat heater system is
on.
The heated seat switches and their LED's cannot
be repaired. If either switch is faulty or damaged the
entire switch must be replaced.
OPERATION
There are three modes that can be selected with
each of the heated seat switches: Off, Low, and High.
When the top of the switch rocker is depressed, the
low mode is selected and the low mode LED indicator
illuminates. Depressing the top of the switch rocker a
second time will turn the heated seat to Off. This
same process is repeated for High heat setting. The
heated seats will automatically return to the Off
mode anytime the vehicle ignition switch is turned
Off.Both switches provide separate hard wire inputs to
the Heated Seat Relay to indicate the selected mode.
The Heated Seat Relay responds to the heated seat
switch messages by controlling the output to the seat
heater elements of the selected seat.

VAHEATED SEATS 8G - 11

The heated seat relay cannot be repaired or
adjusted and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a
resistor or diode, and three (two fixed and one mov-
able) electrical contacts. The movable (common feed)
relay contact is held against one of the fixed contacts
(normally closed) by spring pressure. When the elec-
tromagnetic coil is energized, it draws the movable
contact away from the normally closed fixed contact,
and holds it against the other (normally open) fixed
contact. When the electromagnetic coil is de-ener-
gized, spring pressure returns the movable contact to
the normally closed position. The resistor or diode is
connected in parallel with the electromagnetic coil in
the relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes that
are produced when the coil is de-energized.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT
RELAY
The heated seat relay is located in the Fuse Block,
under the drivers seat. Refer toWiringfor the loca-
tion of complete heated seat system wiring diagrams.
(1) Remove the heated seat relay from the fuse
block.
(2) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and
no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (elec-
tromagnet) should be 75   5 ohms. If OK, go to Step
4. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(4) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, check the relay supply circuits. If not
OK, replace the faulty relay.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) The heated seat relay is located in the fuse
block, under the drivers seat. Refer to wiring for
detailed location.
(3) Grasp the heated seat relay firmly and pull it
straight out from the fuse block. A slight rocking
motion will aid in removal.
INSTALLATION
(1) Grasp the heated seat relay firmly and push it
straight in the fuse block.
(2) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
HEATED SEAT SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat temperature sensor is a Negative
Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor. One tem-
perature sensor is used for each seat. The sensor is
located in the seat cushion heating element for all
models.
The heated seat sensor cannot be adjusted or
repaired and if it is found to be faulty, the complete
heated seat element must be replaced.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT

For complete circuit diagrams, refer toWiring.
NOTE: Any resistance values (ohmsV) given in the
following text are supplied using the automatic
range generated by a FLUKETautomotive meter. If
another type of measuring device is used the val-
ues generated may not be the same as the results
shown here, or may have to be converted to the
range used here.
(1) Backprobe the heated seat relay wire harness
connector, do not disconnect. Using an voltmeter,
check the voltage of the seat temperature sensor
input cavity of the heated seat relay wire harness
connector. The seat sensor input voltage should be
between 1.7 volts and 3.0 volts with the system ON.
If OK, sensor is OK at this time. If not OK, replace
the faulty seat cushion heating element and sensor
assembly.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
DESCRIPTION
The instrument cluster for this model is an Elec-
troMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) that is
located above the steering column opening in the
instrument panel, directly in front of the driver (Fig.
1). The remainder of the EMIC, including the mounts
and the electrical connections, are concealed within
the instrument panel behind the cluster bezel and
beneath the instrument panel top cover for the clus-
ter. The instrument cluster includes analog gauges,
meters, indicators, and acoustic signal transmit-
ters.The EMIC module also incorporates a multi-func-
tion indicator that consists of a digital Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) unit for displaying odometer/trip
odometer information, an electronic digital clock,
engine oil level information, automatic transmission
gear selector position (PRNDL), and certain diagnos-
tic information. The multi-function indicator also has
four push button switches, which provide the vehicle
operator with an interface to adjust certain inputs to
the instrument cluster and to select from multiple
display options. If the vehicle is equipped with the
appropriate options, the multi-function indicator also
provides an outside ambient temperature indicator
display and an Active Service SYStem (ASSYST)
engine oil maintenance indicator to display engine oil
level and maintenance reminders.
The EMIC gauges and indicators are visible
through a dedicated opening in the cluster bezel on
the instrument panel and are protected by a clear
plastic cluster lens (Fig. 2) that is secured by eight
integral latches to the molded black plastic cluster
hood. Four, black plastic multi-function indicator
switch push buttons protrude through dedicated
holes in a rectangular black plastic switch bezel that
is integral to the cluster lens and located near the
lower edge of the cluster directly below the multi-
function indicator LCD unit. The cluster hood serves
as a visor and shields the face of the cluster from
ambient light and reflections to reduce glare. The
cluster hood has eight integral latches that engage
eight integral latch tabs on the cluster rear cover,
sandwiching the cluster housing unit between the
hood and the rear cover. The cluster hood also has
two integral pivot loops molded into its underside
that engage two pairs of molded pivot hooks that are
integral to the top of the instrument panel base
structure. These pivots allow the cluster to be rolled
rearward to ease service access to the wire harness
connectors at the back of the cluster.
The rear of the cluster housing and the EMIC elec-
tronic circuitry are protected by the molded plastic
rear cover. A mounting ear at each upper corner of
the rear cover are used to secure the EMIC to the
molded plastic instrument panel base unit with two
screws. The rear cover includes clearance holes for
the two cluster connector receptacles on the cluster
electronic circuit board. The connector receptacles on
the back of the cluster electronic circuit board con-
nect the EMIC to the vehicle electrical system
through two take outs with connectors from the vehi-
cle wire harness. The EMIC rear cover includes a
molded mounting tab and a latch feature that
secures the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)/immobilizer
module to the back of the cluster. The RKE/immobi-
lizer module is connected to the vehicle electrical sys-
tem through a separate take out and connector of the
vehicle wire harness.

Located between the rear cover and the cluster
hood is the cluster housing. The molded plastic clus-
ter housing serves as the carrier for the cluster elec-
tronic circuit board and circuitry, the cluster
connector receptacles, the gauges, a Light Emitting
Diode (LED) for each cluster indicator and general
illumination lamp, the multi-function indicator LCD
unit, electronic tone generators, the cluster overlay,
the gauge pointers, the multi-function indicator
switches and the four switch push buttons.
The cluster overlay is a laminated plastic unit. The
dark, visible, outer surface of the overlay is marked
with all of the gauge dial faces and graduations, but
this layer is also translucent. The darkness of this
outer layer prevents the cluster from appearing clut-
tered or busy by concealing the cluster indicators
that are not illuminated, while the translucence of
this layer allows those indicators and icons that are
illuminated to be readily visible. The underlying
layer of the overlay is opaque and allows light from
the LED for each of the various indicators and illu-
mination lamps behind it to be visible through the
outer layer of the overlay only through predeter-
mined cutouts. A rectangular opening in the overlay
at the base of the speedometer provides a window
through which the illuminated multi-function indica-
tor LCD unit can be viewed.
Several versions of the EMIC module are offered
on this model. These versions accommodate all of the
variations of optional equipment and regulatory
requirements for the various markets in which the
vehicle will be offered. The microprocessor-based
EMIC utilizes integrated circuitry, Electrically Eras-
able Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM)
type memory storage, information carried on the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus, along with
several hard wired analog and multiplexed inputs to
monitor systems, sensors and switches throughout
the vehicle.
In response to those inputs, the hardware and soft-
ware of the EMIC 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 CAN data bus. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL
MODULES/COMMUNICATION - DESCRIPTION -
CAN BUS).
Besides typical instrument cluster gauge and indi-
cator support, the electronic functions and features
that the EMIC supports or controls include the fol-
lowing:
²Active Service System- In vehicles equipped
with the Active Service SYSTem (ASSYST) engine oil
maintenance indicator option, the EMIC electronic
circuit board includes a second dedicated micropro-
cessor. This second microprocessor evaluates various
data including time, mileage, and driving conditionsto calculate the required engine oil service intervals,
and provides both visual and audible alerts to the
vehicle operator when certain engine oil maintenance
services are required.
²Audible Warnings- The EMIC electronic cir-
cuit board is equipped with an audible tone generator
and programming that allows it to provide various
audible alerts to the vehicle operator, including buzz-
ing and chime tones. An audible contactless elec-
tronic relay is also soldered onto the circuit board to
produce audible clicks that is synchronized with turn
signal indicator flashing to emulate the sounds of a
conventional turn signal or hazard warning flasher.
These audible clicks can occur at one of two rates to
emulate both normal and bulb-out turn or hazard
flasher operation. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
CHIME/BUZZER - DESCRIPTION).
²Panel Lamps Dimming Control- The EMIC
provides a hard wired 12-volt Pulse-Width Modulated
(PWM) output that synchronizes the dimming level
of all panel lamps dimmer controlled lamps with that
of the cluster general illumination lamps and multi-
function indicator.
The EMIC houses four analog gauges and has pro-
visions for up to nineteen indicators (Fig. 3). The
EMIC includes the following analog gauges:
²Coolant Temperature Gauge
²Fuel Gauge
²Speedometer
²Tachometer
The EMIC includes provisions for the following
indicators (Fig. 3):
²Airbag (SRS) Indicator
²Antilock Brake System (ABS) Indicator
²Brake Indicator
²Brake Wear Indicator
²Charging Indicator
²Clogged Fuel Filter Indicator
²Constant Engine Speed (ADR) Indicator
²Coolant Low Indicator
²Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indica-
tor
²High Beam Indicator
²Low Fuel Indicator
²Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
²Multi-Function Indicator (LCD)
²Park Brake Indicator
²Seatbelt Indicator
²Traction Control (ASR) Indicator
²Traction Control (ASR) Malfunction Indica-
tor
²Turn Signal (Right and Left) Indicators
²Washer Fluid Indicator
²Wait-To-Start Indicator
²Water-In-Fuel Indicator
VAINSTRUMENT CLUSTER 8J - 3

Except for the indications provided within the
multi-function indicator LCD unit, each indicator in
the EMIC is illuminated by a dedicated LED that is
soldered onto the EMIC electronic circuit board.
Cluster illumination is accomplished by dimmable
LED back lighting, which illuminates the gauges for
visibility when the exterior lighting is turned on. The
cluster general illumination LED units are also sol-
dered onto the EMIC electronic circuit board. The
LED units are not available for service replacement
and, if damaged or faulty, the entire EMIC must be
replaced.Hard wired circuitry connects the EMIC to the
electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired cir-
cuits are integral to the vehicle wire harnesses,
which are routed throughout the vehicle and retained
by many different methods. These circuits may be
connected to each other, to the vehicle electrical sys-
tem and to the EMIC through the use of a combina-
tion of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and
many different types of wire harness terminal con-
nectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wir-
ing information. The wiring information includes
wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair
