POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER
All of the electrical current distributed throughout this vehicle is directed through the standard equipment Power Distribution Center (PDC). The
molded plastic PDC housing is located in the left front corner of the engine compartment. The PDC housing has a molded plastic cover that
includes an integral hinge feature on the inboard side, and an integral latch on the outboard side. The PDC cover is easily removed for service
access and has a convenient fuse and relay layout label affixed to the inside surface of the cover to ensure proper component identification.
The PDC housing is secured in the engine compartment on the left front corner with three screws to the transmission and engine control module
bracket. A small red molded plastic protective cover on the top near the rear of the PDC is unsnapped to access the battery/generator cable input
connection stud. All of the PDC outputs are through the integral engine compartment wire harness, which exits from the rear of the PDC housing.
All of the current from the battery/generator cable connection enters the PDC through a 140 ampere fusible link that is secured to the top of the
PDC housing. The PDC houses up to fourteen maxi-fuse cartridges, which replace all in4ine fusible links. The PDC also houses up to eleven
blade-type fuses, up to four full International Standards Organization (ISO) relays, and up to eight ISO micro-relays. Internal connection of all the
PDC circuits is accomplished by an intricate network of hard wiring and bus bars.
The fusible link, fuse cartridges, fuses and relays are available for service replacement. The PDC unit cannot be repaired and is only serviced as a
unit with the engine compartment wire harness. If the PDC is faulty or damaged, the engine compartment wire harness assembly must be replaced.
