PRODUCTION DATE INFORMATION
WARNING: Vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system.
When servicing vehicle, use care to avoid accidental air bag deployment.
SIR system-related components are located in various locations
throughout interior of vehicle, depending on application. Do not use
electrical test equipment on or near these circuits. If necessary,
deactivate SIR system before servicing components. See AIR BAG
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS and DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG
SYSTEM in AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article.
CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems
may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer
systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN
PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting
battery.
CAUTION: Vehicles equipped with coded radios are susceptible to damage when
battery is disconnected. Ensure ignition switch is in OFF position and
radio is turned off before disconnecting battery. Have radio code available
when disconnecting battery or removing radio. For coding procedures,
see COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL
INFORMATION.

PROGRAMMING
ACTIVATING STEERING ANGLE SENSOR
In the event that power supply is interrupted to steering angel sensor, PML control module switches to basic
function mode. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) in instrument cluster may illuminate. At this point steering
NOTE: For activating and initializing steering angle sensor, use the same procedure.

angle sensor must be reactivated.
To activate steering angle sensor follow listed steps:
Start engine and allow to idle.
Turn steering wheel from lock to lock.
MIL should go out. If MIL remains on, see SELF - DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (SECTION 11) .
TROUBLE SHOOTING
SYMPTOM INDEX
Use symptom index to determine which system tests to perform. See Fig. 5 .

Reading Diagnostic Trouble Code Memory
NOTE: Reading DTC memory can only be done with HHT scan tool. It is important to
read out the DTC's from the BAS system first, since the DTC's from the other
systems are stored in BAS during the diagnostic process.

Turn ignition ON.
Press start button for 2-4 seconds.
Read and record diagnostic trouble codes for the BAS, ETS, ME and ETC systems.
Press start button again for 2-4 seconds.
Read and record diagnostic trouble code.
Repeat listed steps until first diagnostic trouble code reappears.
Perform actual/nominal value comparisons.
Perform activations.
Follow up and repair displayed DTC's.
After successful repairs, erase all DTC's. See CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES .
Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
Press start button for 2-4 seconds.
Wait 3 seconds, then press start button for 6-8 seconds, thereby erasing the previously displayed
diagnostic trouble code from memory.
Each stored diagnostic trouble code must be erased individually.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS (SECTION 12)
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS
NOTE: Erasing of stored diagnostic trouble codes must begin within 20 seconds of
reading the diagnostic trouble code. After 20 seconds, the diagnostic trouble
code can no longer be erased. Erasing procedure can be restarted by
performing diagnostic trouble code memory readout after the fault is again
displayed.
NOTE: For aid in using diagnostic charts, see USING DIAGNOSTIC CHARTS .
