ENGINE COOLANT TEMP SEN-
SOR
DESCRIPTION
The ECM determines the operating temperature of
the engine by using the signal from the coolant tem-
perature sensor. The coolant temperature sensor has
a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) resistor
contained in the plastic housing. NTC means; the
higher the temperature, then the lower the resis-
tance. The ECM also uses the coolant temperature
sensor signal to calculate glow plug relay triggering.
If the coolant temperature sensor fails during opera-
tion, the ECM will switch on the cooling fan to pre-
vent engine overheating (A/C models only).

WARNING SYSTEM.....................2
CHIME / BUZZER
DESCRIPTION
A chime warning system is standard factory-in-
stalled equipment. The chime warning system uses a
chime tone generator and a contactless relay that are
soldered onto the electronic circuit board inside the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) to
provide audible indications of various vehicle condi-
tions that may require the attention of the vehicle
operator or occupants. The microprocessor-based
EMIC utilizes electronic messages received from
other modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus network along with hard
wired inputs to the cluster to monitor many sensors
and switches throughout the vehicle. In response to
those inputs, the circuitry and internal programming
of the EMIC allow it to control audible outputs that
are produced through its on-board chime tone gener-
ator and contactless relay.
The EMIC circuitry and its chime tone generator
are capable of producing the following audible out-
puts:
²Single Chime Tone- A single, extended ªbeep-
likeº chime tone is issued as a seat belt reminder.
²Fast Rate Repetitive Chime Tone- Repeated
ªbeep-likeº tones that are issued at a fast rate as an
audible alert and to support various visual warnings.
²Slow Rate Repetitive Click Tone- Repeated
ªclick-likeº tones that are issued at a slow rate to
emulate turn signal and hazard flasher operation.
²Fast Rate Repetitive Click Tone- Repeated
ªclick-likeº tones that are issued at a fast rate to
emulate turn signal flasher operation with a bulb
out.
Hard wired circuitry connects the EMIC and the
various chime warning switch and sensor inputs to
their respective modules and to each other through
the electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired
circuits are integral to the vehicle wire harness,
which is 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, andmany 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
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.
The EMIC chime tone generator and contactless
relay cannot be adjusted or repaired. If the chime
tone generator or contactless relay are damaged or
faulty, the entire EMIC unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The chime warning system components operate on
battery current received through a non-switched
fused B(+) circuit so that the system may operate
regardless of the ignition switch position. The Elec-
troMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) also mon-
itors the ignition switch position so that some chime
features will only occur with ignition switch in the
On position, while others occur regardless of the igni-
tion switch position.
The chime warning system provides an audible
indication to the vehicle operator or occupants under
the following conditions:
²Engine Oil Level Low Warning- Each time
the ignition switch is turned to the On position, the
EMIC chime tone generator will generate a fast rate
repetitive chime tone if electronic messages are
received over the Controller Area Network (CAN)
data bus from the Engine Control Module (ECM)
indicating that the engine level is too low. The ECM
uses internal programming and hard wired inputs
from the engine oil level and temperature sensor to
determine the engine oil level. This audible warning
occurs in concert with the visual warning provided by
the multi-function indicator in the cluster.
²Fasten Seat Belt Reminder- Each time the
ignition switch is turned to the On position, the
EMIC chime tone generator will generate a single
extended chime tone for a duration of about six sec-
onds, or until the driver side front seat belt is fas-
tened, whichever occurs first. The EMIC uses
internal programming and a hard wired input from
the driver side front seat belt switch to determine

BATTERY SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
A single 12-volt battery is standard factory-in-
stalled equipment on this model. Some vehicles are
equipped with a second auxiliary battery for running
additional electrical equipment. The standard battery
is located in the engine compartment, while the aux-
iliary battery (if equipped) is located under the pas-
sengers front seat. The battery system for this
vehicle covers the following related components,
which are covered in further detail later in this sec-
tion of the service manual:²Battery- The 12v storage battery(s) provides a
reliable means of storing a renewable source of elec-
trical energy within the vehicle.
²Battery Cables- The battery cables connect
the battery terminal posts to the vehicle electrical
system.
²Battery Holddown- The battery holddown
hardware secures the battery in the battery tray in
the engine compartment.
²Battery Tray- The battery tray provides a
secure mounting location in the vehicle for the bat-
tery and an anchor point for the battery holddown
hardware.

each circuit and identify the circuit that is the source
of the high-amperage IOD. If the amperage reading
remains high after removing and replacing each fuse
and circuit breaker, disconnect the wire harness from
the generator. If the amperage reading now becomes
very low or nonexistent, refer to Charging System for
the proper charging system diagnosis and testing
procedures. After the high-amperage IOD has been
corrected, switch the multi-meter to progressively
lower amperage scales and, if necessary, repeat the
fuse and circuit breaker remove-and-replace process
to identify and correct all sources of excessive IOD. It
is now safe to select the lowest milliampere scale of
the multi-meter to check the low-amperage IOD.
CAUTION: Do not open any doors, or turn on any
electrical accessories with the lowest milliampere
scale selected, or the multi-meter may be damaged.
(6) Observe the multi-meter reading. The low-am-
perage IOD should not exceed thirty-five milliam-
peres (0.035 ampere). If the current draw exceeds
thirty-five milliamperes, isolate each circuit using the
fuse and circuit breaker remove-and-replace process
in Step 5. The multi-meter reading will drop to
within the acceptable limit when the source of the
excessive current draw is disconnected. Repair this
circuit as required; whether a wiring short, incorrect
switch adjustment, or a component failure is at fault.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - USING MICRO 420
BATTERY TESTER
Always use the Micro 420 Instruction Manual that
was supplied with the tester as a reference. If theInstruction Manual is not available the following pro-
cedure can be used:
WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR APPROPRIATE EYE
PROTECTION AND USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN
WORKING WITH BATTERIES.
BATTERY TESTING
(1) If testing the battery OUT-OF-VEHICLE, clean
the battery terminals with a wire brush before test-
ing. If the battery is equipped with side post termi-
nals, install and tighten the supplied lead terminal
stud adapters. Do not use steel bolts. Failure to prop-
erly install the stud adapters, or using stud adapters
that are dirty or worn-out may result in false test
readings.
(2) If testing the battery IN-THE-VEHICLE, make
certain all of the vehicle accessory loads are OFF,
including the ignition.The preferred test position
is at the battery terminal. If the battery is not
accessible, you may test using both the positive and
negative jumper posts. Select TESTING AT JUMPER
POST when connecting to that location.
(3) Connect the tester (Fig. 6) to the battery or
jumper posts, the red clamp to positive (+) and the
black clamp to negative (±).

battery test. Failure to disconnect may result in
false battery test readings.
(4) Using the ARROW key selectinoroutof vehi-
cle testing and press ENTER to make a selection.
(5) If not selected, choose the Cold Cranking Amp
(CCA) battery rating. Or select the appropriate bat-
tery rating for your area (see menu). The tester will
then run its self programmed test of the battery and
display the results. Refer to the test result table
noted below.
CAUTION: If REPLACE BATTERY is the result of the
test, this may mean a poor connection between the
vehicle's cables and battery exists. After discon-
necting the vehicle's battery cables from the bat-
tery, retest the battery using the OUT-OF-VEHICLE
test before replacing.
(6) While viewing the battery test result, press the
