Measure Correct For If the voltage is correct, replace Between Voltage Diagnosis Electronic Control Module. ------- ------- --------- C8 (YEL) & Varying from 1. Check YEL (400) and PPL (401) C2 (PPL) to 5 volts AC See 1 wires (see schematic). If wires are OK, replace Vehicle Speed Sensor.

B: SPEED SIGNAL TEST

Ignition Switch: RUN

Turn ON all systems that use the Vehicle Speed Slgnal

Identity the Vehicle Speed Input Terminal(s) for the harness connector of the non-functioning component(s):

Measure voltage at Vehicle Speed Input Terminal of the Inoperative component's connector (disconnected)

Note: It more than one or all components do not operate, measure at any inoperative component's connector

Is the voltage measured approximately battery?

YES NO

Measure voltage at connector terminal Check DK GRN (389) used above while slowly rotating a wire for short to drive wheel by hand ground or open

Does voltage vary from less than 1 volt to more than 2.5 volts? Check modules for internal shorts between 389 wire and ground

YES NO

Speed Signal is reaching the Reconnect Suspect Component(s) component Disconnect ECM Connector B (WHT)

Check for good connector Mossure voltage at ECM Connector contact at component. If Terminal B8 OK. replace component Are 5 volts or greater measured?

YES NO

Check ECM connector Check DK GRN (389) for good contact wire for an open If contact is OK, replace ECM

C: SPEEDOMETER IS INACCURATE

1. Connect a Scan Tool to the ALDL connector. Drive the vehicle, observe the Speedometer and compare it to the vehicle speed shown on the scan tool.

If both the speedometer and scan tool display the same speed, check for correct tire size and inflation. If OK, replace Vehicle Speed Sensor.

If scan tool and speedometer do not display the same speed, go to step 2.

2. Use Harness Adapter J33431-10 to connect the I/P tester to terminal B8 (DK GRN) of ECM connector (WHT) (disconnected). This can be accomplished by using the J35616 Connector Test Adapter Kit.

With Ignition Switch in RUN, set the tester controls to 54 MPH. 60 Hz and ON.

Replace Speedometer (see Section 8C) if Speedometer does not display between 52 and 56 MPH.

Replace ECM if Speedometer displays be tween 52 and 56 MPH,

CIRCUIT OPERATION

The Vehicle Speed Sensor generates a signal that indicates the speed of the vehicle. The signal produced is a sine wave, which is processed into a square wave by the ECM to supply inputs to the Speedometer and Cruise Control Module.

The Vehicle Speed Sensor is mounted in the Transaxle. A magnet rotates near a coil, producing voltage pulses in the coil. The frequency of the AC voltage coming from this coil depends on the vehicle speed. As the speed increases, so does the number of voltage pulses per second.

The ECM takes the sensor/voltage pulses from the Sensor, through the PPL and YEL wires and uses them to close a Solid State output switch. The output terminal is switched to ground at a rate that is proportional to the speed of the car. The Speedometer and Cruise Control Module are switched at the same frequency that the ECM generates, 4000 pulses per mile.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

The Compressor for the air conditioning system is belt driven by the engine. The A/C Compressor Clutch engages and disengages the Compressor to remove the air conditioning load from the engine when needed. The Compressor Clutch will engage the Compressor when the A/C Mode Selector is in MAX, NORM, BI-LEVEL or DEFOG.

The A/C Clutch Diode connected across the A/C Compressor Clutch suppresses high voltage spikes that are generated by the collapsing magnetic field of the clutch coil when the clutch is turned off.

The A/C Compressor Control Relay opens and closes the circuit to the A/C Compressor Clutch. The coil of the relay is grounded by the Electronic Control Module (ECM). This enables the ECM to disengage the air conditioning to reduce the load on the engine when required. The ECM also receives an air conditioning ON signal, which is battery voltage from the Heater and A/C Control Assembly. The signal is applied through the High Pressure Switch and signals the ECM that A/C Compressor operation is required.

The Low Pressure Switch is connected in series with the A/C Compressor Clutch. It opens if refrigerant pressure becomes low enough that further operation may damage the Compressor.

See Section 6E for complete ECM operating details.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

1. Check the BELT Fuse by visual inspection.

2. The Key Cylinder Light is fed by the same circuit as the Automatic Safety Belts. If there is also a problem with the Belts, refer to 8A-146 for diagnosis.

3. The Key Cylinder Light should glow when either Door Latch Switch is operated. If only one Switch doesn't trigger the Light, check the associated Switch and wiring. The Safety Belt Retractor Solenoids should click when the Switch is operated

4. If the Safety Belt Retractor Solenoids in both doors do click, but the Key Cylinder Light doesn't light, check the YEL/BLK (528) wire from S360 to the Light and the ORN/BLK (152) wire.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

Voltage is applied at all times to the terminal 1 of the Safety Belt Timer Module. When a front door handle is operated, the corresponding Door Latch Switch is closed, which applies voltage to the Solid State Safety Belt Timer Module. The Module closes the Switch and completes the circuit from its terminal 1 to terminal 3, and applies battery voltage to the Key Cylinder Light. The lights lights.

When both doors are closed, the Door Latch Switches are opened. This opens the circuit to terminal 4. After a 3 to 5 second delay, the module will de-energize the switch and stop operation of the Key Cylinder Light.

A shorted door latch switch will prevent the Control Module from resetting, so the light will remain off. An open door switch will only prevent the Control Module from detecting when corresponding door is open.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If Illumination does not work at both switches, check illumination wire to Light Switch.

If the Express Down feature does not operate, but all other window function operate, replace the LH Front Window Switch.

Check window motor and linkage for mechanical binding before replacing motor.

SYMPTOM PROBABLE CAUSE ACTION

RH Window work only from LH RH Switch Assembly Check for voltage at Master Switch Assembly power terminal of RH Wiring Switch Assembly. If OK, replace the switch if not, check wiring.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

The window motor are permanent magnet D.C. motors. These motors move the window up and down depending upon which way voltage is applied to them. The LH Master Switch Assembly supplies ground to both motor terminals when at rest, the position shown in the schematic. When a switch is moved to the up or down position, with the Ignition in RUN, one of the contacts moves to supply battery voltage to the motor which then drives the window up or down.

The RH Switch Assembly works in a similar manner. The RH Switch Assembly is in series with the LH Master Switch Assembly. This wiring prevents a circuit if both switches are used at once in opposite directions.

The express down feature causes the window to go complete down after a single, momentary touch of the LH Master Switch Assembly's down Button. The express down position of the LH Master Switch Assembly is reached by pushing the button beyond the down position.

When the express down position is contacted, a solenoid in the express down module holds the switch in the down position. The window may be stopped by momentarily pushing the switch to the up position.

The express down module monitors window motor current through a resistor. It will release the down switch and stop the window when the current increase or when it becomes zero. An increase in current occurs when the motor stalls at the end of its travel. Zero Current occurs when the switch is pushed to the up position, removing ground from the motor.

Replace the Inoperative Portable Replace the Keyless Entry Module Transmitter Reprogram the replacement Key- Reprogram the Keyless Entry less Entry Module to the replace- Module to the replacement porta- ment Portable Transmitter(s) by ble Transmitter(s) by following the following the procedure below

Jumper the Factory Encoder BLK/YEL (900) wire to ground (all power door locks will lock and unlock)

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
