Battery Page 6D1-3–16
NOTE
Charging a battery at higher current rates can
significantly reduce the life of the battery.
Charge Rate Initial Current Maximum Time Required
Slow charge 4 A 24 hours
Fast charge 35 A 2 hours
6 After a few minutes, check the colour and specific gravity of the electrolyte. Refer to 3.3 Hydrometer Test.
7 Monitor the electrolyte temperature while the battery is charging. If the electrolyte temperature reaches 55 °C:
a switch the charging current off,
b allow the battery to cool,
c reduce the charging current, and
d restart charging the battery.
NOTE
For the best results, charge the battery with the
electrolyte and plates at room temperature. An
extremely cold battery may not appear to accept
current for several hours after starting the battery
charger. If the battery does not appear to accept
charge after several hours replace the battery.
8 For slow charging check the voltage and specific gravity each hour or more regularly for fast charging. Stop the charging when there is no change in voltage or electrolyte specific gravity over three checks.
9 If the battery was fast charged connect the battery to a slow-charger for a few hours to bring the battery to the fully charged condition. Ensure the last few hours of charge do not exceed 1 A.
10 Tighten the filler caps. Ensure they are secure.
11 Install the battery in the vehicle. Refer to 4.1 Battery.
4.3 Emergency Jump Starting Procedure
Safety Precautions
• Read and obey the general safety precautions for working with batteries, refer to 2 Safety Precautions.
• Do not allow the vehicles to touch each other during the jump starting procedure.
• Ensure the assisting vehicle battery has the same voltage rating and connects negative to ground. If this is not the
case, serious injury and damage to electrical equipment can result.
• Do not push or tow the vehicle to start it. Damage can result when unburnt fuel reaches the catalytic converter and
ignites.
• Do not start the vehicle using a fast charger.
• W hen using jumper leads, treat both the booster battery and the discharged battery with care.
• Do not allow sparks, flame or smoking near the battery.
• Ensure that metal tools or jumper cables do not simultaneously contact the battery positive terminal and any other
metal part of the vehicle.
Jump Starting Procedure
1 Position the assisting vehicle so the batteries of both vehicles are close together, refer to Figure 6D1-3 – 10.
2 Apply the park brake on both vehicles.
3 Ensure that P (park) is selected for automatic transmission and N (neutral) is selected for manual transmissions.

Powertrain Interface Module – V6 Page 6E1–6
1 General Information
A powertrain interface module (PIM) is fitted that incorporates the following functionality:
• Communication protocol between the engine control module (ECM) and transmission control module (TCM) is
General Motors Local Area Network (GM LAN).
• Communication protocol between the PIM and immobiliser control unit is keyword 2000.
• ECM to PIM and PIM to immobiliser control unit (ICU) authentication for vehicle security.
• The following switches, where fitted, input directly into the PIM:
• Automatic transmission power mode switch.
• Automatic transmission 3
rd gear start switch.
• Cruise control switch.
1.1 General Description
Serial Data Communication
The various electronic control modules communicate with each other through the serial data bus. The ECM and TCM
communicate on the serial data bus using the GM LAN communication protocol. Figure 6E1 – 2 shows the serial data
layout.
NOTE
Serial data components shown in Figure 6E1 – 2
will vary depending on vehicle options.
Bus
A bus is a physical circuit or circuits which provides a communication path between two or more control modules.
GM LAN Serial Data Bus
The GM LAN bus is a two wire circuit (1), refer to Figure 6E1 – 1. The GM LAN bus circuits are terminated with cut-off
resistors (2) which are located inside the two control modules at either end of the bus circuit. The purpose of these cut-off
resistors is to prevent data from returning as an echo after reaching the end of the GM LAN bus circuit.
NOTE
• For illustration purposes, the cut-off resistors
are shown outside of the control modules.
• The two control modules with the cut-off
resistors are the PIM and the ECM.

3 Component Description and
Operation
3.1 Powertrain Interface Module
The powertrain interface module (PIM) is located behind the
right-hand lower hinge pillar trim.
Figure 6E1 – 5
The PIM performs the following functions:
• The PIM acts as the communication gateway between the GM LAN communications protocol and keyword 2000
protocol.
• The PIM converts analogue signals from the cruise control switches into digital serial data.
• The PIM upon inputs received from the engine control module (ECM), transmission control module (TCM) and
immobiliser control unit (ICU) controls the operation of the following instruments and warning lamps:
• Speedometer
• Tachometer
• Check Transmission Lamp
• 3
rd Gear Start Lamp
• Power Mode Switch Lamp
• Automatic Transmission Oil Temp Lamp
• Cruise Set Lamp
• Oil Pressure Lamp
• Service Vehicle Soon (SVS) Lamp
• Charge W arning Lamp
• PRNDL Lamps
• The PIM is responsible for authenticating the immobiliser control unit (ICU) prior to the engine control module
(ECM) authenticating the PIM. If any of these authentication processes fail, the vehicle will not start. For further
information on the immobiliser system, refer to 11A Immobiliser System.

3.2 Powertrain Interface Module Gateway
Components
Engine Control Module
The ECM is located at the right front of the engine
assembly.
The ECM communicates directly with the transmission
control module (TCM) and PIM via the serial data network.
The ECM is also an integral part of the vehicle security
system. For further information on vehicle security, refer to
11A Immobiliser System.
Figure 6E1 – 6
Immobiliser Control Unit
The immobiliser control unit (ICU) is mounted to the left of
the steering column.
The ICU in conjunction with the, powertrain interface module
(PIM) and engine control module (ECM) immobilises the
engine. The ICU communicates with the ECM via the PIM.
Refer to 11A Immobiliser for further information on the
immobiliser system.
Figure 6E1 – 7
Automatic Transmission Control Module
The transmission control module (TCM) is located under the
right-hand rear drivers seat, beneath the carpet.
The TCM's primary role is to efficiently control transmission
shift points according to current driving and vehicle
operating conditions. To effectively do this, the TCM
requires information from other vehicle systems such as the
engine management and automatic transmission systems.
This information exchanged is achieved by connecting the
various system control modules via the serial data network.
For further information on the serial data network, refer to
1 General Information.

3.3 Powertrain Interface Module Direct Input
Switches
The following switches are direct wired to the PIM. These switches use the PIM to convert their input signals into serial
data, which is then used by the various vehicle control modules to perform varying functions.
Cruise Control Switch
The cruise control switch is located on the left-hand side of
the steering column.
The switch is comprised of three momentary contact
switches which control the following functions:
• cruise control push button switch (ON–OFF),
• cruise control resume – accelerate (RES–ACCEL),
and
• cruise control set – decelerate (SET–DECEL).
The three cruise control switches directly input into the PIM.
W hen any of these switches are activated, the PIM sends a
message on the serial data bus to the ECM. For further
information on the cruise control system, refer to 8C Cruise
Control – HFV6.
Figure 6E1 – 9
Power Mode Switch – Automatic Transmission
The power mode switch is located at the front of the floor
console, forwards of the 3rd start switch.
The power mode switch is an on-off rocker type switch that
changes the transmission shift points. The power mode
switch inputs directly into the PIM. W hen the switch is in the
on position, the PIM sends a message on the serial data
bus to the Transmission Control Module (TCM). For further
information on the automatic transmission, refer to:
7C1 Automatic Transmission – 4L60E – General
Information.
Figure 6E1 – 10

rd Start Switch – Automatic Transmission
The 3rd start switch is located at the front of the floor
console, behind the power mode switch.
The 3
rd start switch is a momentary contact switch that
enables the vehicle to be driven from the stationery position
in 3
rd. The 3rd start switch inputs directly into the PIM. W hen
the switch is pressed, the PIM sends a message on the
serial data bus to the transmission control module (TCM).
For further information on the automatic transmission, refer
to 7C1 Automatic Transmission – 4L60E – General
Information.
