Integrated Accessory Switch Assembly: Description and Operation






DESCRIPTION





There is an Accessory Switch Bank Module (ASBM) located in the instrument panel center stack just below the heater a/c control. Included in this switch bank are:

- Electronic Stability Program (ESP)/Traction Control Switch (TCS) Off (if equipped)
- Hazard Switch (all models)
- Heated Seat Switch (if equipped)
- Passenger Airbag Disabled Lamp (PADL) Indicator (if equipped with OCS)





The BUX version of the ASBM will vary from the domestic a bit. Following are the various BUX switches:

- Anti-Skid Control (ASC) (if equipped) - This is the same as the ESP/TCS off switch in the domestic version.
- Hazard Switch (all models)
- Heated Seat Switch (if equipped)
- Headlamp Leveling Switch (if equipped)

Each individual switch is not available for service replacement. If one or more switches are inoperative, the entire ASBM must be replaced. To diagnose the ASBM switches, use a scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic information.
