REAR DEFOG SWITCH AND TIMER
The chime module provides the timing function and control of the rear defog system. When the rear defog switch is pressed for the first time in an
ignition cycle, the rear defog element and switch indicator will come On, and stay On for
15 minutes unless the ignition is turned to either the
ACC or LOCK position or the rear defog switch is pressed again to turn the system Off. Subsequent activations of the switch, prior to cycling the
ignition, when the rear defog is Off, will result in the same operation except the time the defogger is On is reduced to
7.5 minutes.
SEAT BELT TELLTALE
The seat belt telltale is used to inform the driver of the vehicle that the driver seat belt has not been buckled. If the belt is buckled prior to the
ignition being turned to RUN the telltale will not come on. If the belt is not buckled prior to the ignition being turned to RUN the telltale will come
on steady for
20 seconds. If the belt is still unbuckled after this time, the telltale will flash for 100 seconds. If the belt is buckled at any time the
telltale will turn off immediately.
If the belt is buckled and then unbuckled during a single ignition cycle the above mentioned sequence will begin.
Fuses
IGN4 FUSE
Location: Underhood junction block
Type:
30A Maxifuse
Feeds: Circuit 202
If vehicle starts, the fuse is good.
If the fuse is blown determine the cause of the blown fuse and repair.
Replace fuse as needed.
If this component is good, go to the next item indicated on the chart.
CHIME FUSE
Location: Instrument panel junction block
Type:
10A Mini fuse
Feeds: Circuit 440
If the following systems is operating normally, the fuse is most likely good:
^
Chime module
^
Radio
^
I/P cluster liftgate ajar (SW only)
If the fuse is blown, determine the cause of the blown fuse and repair.
Replace fuse as needed.
If this component is good go to the next item indicated on the chart.
IGN1 Fuse
Location: Instrument panel junction block
Type:
10A Minifuse
Feeds: Circuit 39
If one of the following systems is operating normally, the fuse is most likely good:
^
I/P cluster
^
Power door locks
^
Transaxle shift program switch
If the fuse is blown determine the cause of the blown fuse and repair.
Replace fuse as needed.
If this component is good, go to the next item indicated on the chart.
Grounds
Before checking the ground circuit from the faulty component all the way to the ground stud, check the circuit from the splice pack ground by testing
some of the other subsystems grounded by the same splice pack. If the other subsystems function properly, it is most likely that the path from the splice
pack to ground is good (or at least one of the paths is good with redundantly grounded splice packs).
I/P Splice Pack #1
