OPERATION

The power distribution system for this vehicle is designed to provide safe, reliable, and centralized distribution points
for the electrical current required to operate all of the many standard and optional factory-installed electrical and
electronic powertrain, chassis, safety, security, comfort and convenience systems. At the same time, the power dis-
tribution system was designed to provide ready access to these electrical distribution points for the technician to use
when conducting diagnosis and repair of inoperative circuits. The power distribution system can also prove useful
for the sourcing of additional electrical circuits that may be required to provide the electrical current needed to oper-
ate many accessories that the vehicle owner may choose to have installed.
