Power Distribution Center (PDC)
| Refer to COMPONENT INDEX . |
This vehicle is equipped with two PDCs:
- One located in the engine compartment
- One located in the instrument panel
For fuse and relay layout, refer to the wiring diagrams. The wiring diagrams provide the fuse and relay layouts as well as location views and power distribution specific circuit diagrams.
The PDC for this vehicle is designed to provide safe, reliable, centralized and convenient access to distribution of the electrical current required to operate all of the many standard and optional factory-installed electrical and electronic powertrain, chassis, safety, comfort and convenience systems. At the same time, these systems were designed to provide centralized locations for conducting diagnosis of faulty circuits and for sourcing the additional current requirements of many aftermarket vehicle accessory and convenience items. The PDC connects directly to the Battery Positive (B+) cable.
This power distribution system also incorporate various types of circuit control and protection features, including:
- Automatic resetting circuit breakers
- Fuses
- Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and non-PCB Relays
