Police relay outputs and control circuit connections are located under the right end of the instrument panel in a 5-foot (1.5 m) coil terminated with three connectors. Battery power is supplied through two Pre-fuse Assembly fusible links. If the optional auxiliary battery (K4S) is not present, power to the Pre-fuse Assembly is supplied by the Primary battery. Three circuit breakers and two control relays are located in the right rear compartment relay center. The relay center is connected via the body harness to the front compartment customer connections. A 50-amp circuit breaker feeds power directly from the 100-amp fusible link via a 10-gauge (5.0mm2) wire. Two 30-amp circuit breakers supply power from fusible links through the contacts of the control relays to 12-gauge (3.0 mm2) wires. Each relay is operated by control leads in the 5-foot coil in the front compartment. An 8-gauge ground lead is also provided in the coil. A total of 1320-watts of 12-volt power is available in the front compartment. 1440-watts of 12-volt power is a available at the rear compartment junction block.
NOTE: If 50-amp battery power is not present at the front compartment upfitter harness, verify the connection of the topmost (blue) of two connectors located above the right hand rear compartment junction block. NOTE: For wiring diagram see page 21, see also page 16, Rear Auxiliary Power and Ground Stud and page 20 K4S-Auxiliary Battery
Approximate dimensions for center console area with offset shift lever. CAUTION: Do not mount aftermarket equipment to plastic cover; remove cover for mounting equipment. Do not permanently mount equipment to interfere with the vehicle controls below the plastic cover.
The oil-to-coolant engine oil cooler system is mounted on the left side of the lower engine block, forward of the oil filter. Engine oil flows through the stacked plate cooler from the engine oil sump and returns to the engine. Coolant flows to the cooler via a short hose from the engine block and exits to the radiator through a coupled hose connection to the radiator inlet hose.
NOTE: only available on the V8 engine as is not required on V6 engine
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) System which warns of low tire pressure. Your Caprice Police Package may be equipped with a full-size spare tire (see page 9 and 19) The optional full-size spare tire has a sensor but the vehicle is not programmed to read the spare tire pressure. When the full-size spare tire from your vehicle or spare tire from another Police Package is placed in use as a road wheel, the system will notread the presence of the new TPM sensor and must be calibrated. Refer to your owners manual for additional information on the Tire Pressure Monitor and Sensor Programming. The space saver spare tire does not have a tire pressure monitor.
Transmission Cooler
The transmission cooler is positioned to the left side, in front of the air conditioning condenser and the power steering cooler is a separate unit, located along the front bottom of the condenser. The cooling system is common to the V6 and V8 engines
If your vehicle is equipped with Remote Start, a Content Theft Deterrent System is included; an audible alarm will occur when the ignition key is used to open the trunk instead of the Remote Keyless Entry (key fob).

The Option 6J7 Exterior Lamps Emergency Flashing Module mounting location at the rear edge of the upper right hand radiator support.
Option 6J7 provides a headlamps high beam flashing module, rear lamps flashing via the Body Control Module (BCM) and a control wire for customer-furnished switching to turn the module on and off. The flasher control wire is terminated in the 16-way connector on the upfitter harness coiled under the instrument panel in the front passenger foot well. The flashing module is located is located on the rear side of the passenger side upper radiator support The headlamp flashing module is activated by the application of 12 volts to a dark green/red wire in the upfitter harness. When activated, the headlamp high beams and the high beam instrument cluster indicator will flash alternately at 2.4 flashes per second. When the flashing module is turned on, the module sends a signal to the BCM which alternately flashes the stop lamps and backup lamps at the same flash rate as the headlamps. Depressing the brake pedal will override the stop lamp flashing and placing the transmission in Reverse will override the backup lamps flashing. During daylight conditions, the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) are automatically turned off whenever the headlamps flashing module is activated. During night time conditions, the low beam headlamps automatically turn on while the high beam lamps flash. Turning on the high beam headlamps manually will override the flashing module and the high beam headlamps will operate continuously. During night time conditions the tail lamps will turn on automatically. If Option VVS is present the low beam headlamps and tail lamps will not come on automatically. The Center Mounted Stop Lamp will operate only when the service brakes are applied. A 15-amp fuse labeled F16 protects the flasher module circuit. The fuse is located in the under hood fuse block in the engine compartment on the passenger side of the vehicle. See also the Owner Manual for more information. Activation of the headlamps flashing and rear lamps flashing can be separated by opening the dark-blue/yellow BCM circuit at the flasher module connector, P181-F, and applying a customer-switched ground to the dark-blue/yellow wire in the upfitter harness 16-way connector (P277-16) under the right side instrument panel. Power to the dark green/red wire must be off to flash rear lamps only. Warning: BCM will be damaged if 12V power is connected to the dark-blue/ yellow wire.

BAG FAQ
I've heard that a deployed air bag produces whet appears to be smoke, is the air bag hot? After the bag has deployed in a crash, the air bag itself will not be hot to touch. Some components within the air bag module will be hot for a short time. A small amount of smoke coming from a deployed air bag module is normal and should not be cause for concern. Also, when the nitrogen gas is vented out of the air bag, small particles from inside the bag are also vented into passenger compartment. These airborne particles look like smoke and some particles are deposited as residue on and around the air bag. I've heard that the dusts that are released into the passenger compartment from the air bag are harmful, is this true? For most people, the only effect the dusts will produce is some irritation of the throat and eyes, and that is only if the occupant remains in the vehicle for many minutes after the air bag deployment with no ventilation and windows closed. However, some people with asthma may develop an asthmatic attack from inhaling the dusts. If this happens, they should first treat themselves the same way their doctor has advised them to treat any other asthma attack, and then immediately seek medical treatment. Can the air bag system be re-used? No, The air bags are designed to inflate only once. After inflation some new parts will be required. These will include the air bag module and possibly other parts. (A competent service technician with access to the vehicle's service manual and the required tools should replace the required components after a deployment crash.) If my vehicle has air bags, why should I have to wear my safety belt? Air bags are in many vehicles today and will be in most of them in the future. But they are supplemental systems only; so they work with safety belts not instead of them. Every air bag system ever offered for sale has required the use of safety belts. Even if you're in a vehicle that has air bags, you still have to buckle up to get the most protection. That's true not only in frontal collisions but especially in side and other collisions.
Can the installation of push bumpers on the front end of the vehicle affect the deployment of the air bag? General Motors is not aware of adverse effects during crash events from the many push bumpers thai have been installed on GM police vehicles. Because there are many styles of push bumpers available with varying crash characteristics, installation of push bumpers may or may not affect deployment timing of the air bags. Push bumpers should be mounted to avoid modifying the vehicle structure and interfering with the front air bag sensors mounted on the upper radiator support cross member Two front impad sensors are installed in General Motors vehicles. Do not relocate or disconnect the front sensors. The location and orientation of the front sensors are critical for correct operation of the air bag system. Avoid mounting components on or near the sensors. Push bumper styles with vertical pushing members that are in foreaft alignment with the front air bag sensors are not recommended. When should an air bag inflate? The driver's and right-front passenger's frontal air bags are designed to inflate in moderate to severe frontal or near-frontal crashes. But they are designed to inflate only if the impact speed is above the system's designed "threshold level." In addition, your vehicle has dual stage frontal air bags which tailor the the amount of restraint according to crash severity. For moderate frontal impacts, the air bags inflate at a level less than full deployment. For more severe frontal impacts, "dual stage" frontal air bags deploy at full levels. If the front of your vehicle goes straight into a wall that doesn't move or deform, the threshold level of the reduced deployment is about 12 to 16mph (19 to 15 km/h), and the threshold level for a full deployment is about 18 to 24 mph (29 to 28.5 km/h). The threshold level can vary, however, with specific vehicle design, so that it can be somewhat above or below this range. If your vehicle strikes something that will move or deform such as a parked car, the threshold level will be higher. The driver's and right-front passenger's frontal air bags are not designed to inflate in rollover, side impacts, or rear impacts, because inflation would not help the occupant. Seat mounted side impact air bags are designed to inflate in moderate to severe side crashes. The side impact air bags will inflate if the crash severity is above the designed "threshold level." The threshold level can vary with specific vehicles design. The side impact air bags are not designed to inflate on frontal or near-frontal impacts or rear impacts, because inflation would not help the occupant. Roof rail mounted head-curtain air bags are designed to inflate in moderate to severe side crashes. In addition, certain vehicles have head-curtain air bags which are also designed to inflate in situations where an impending rollover condition is identified by the vehicle's rollover sensing system and/or frontal or near-frontal impacts if the crash severity is above the designed "threshold level". Safety belt pretensioners at the driver and front passenger seat positions are designed to deploy in frontal, near-frontal, side, and rear crashes that exceed the "threshold level" of crash severity to help reduce slack in the safety belt Safety belt pretensioners will also deploy in impending rollover situations. How long will the air bag remain inflated? It takes approximately 1/20th of a second to fully inflate the frontal air bags. This is faster than the blink of an eye. The air bags begin to deflate immediately, helping to stop the occupants more gradually.

30 | Anti-lock
braking system
Should I drive an ABS equipped vehicle differently than I would drive a vehicle with conventional brakes?
Most of the time, under normal driving circumstances, there is no difference, and you should always drive with the same caution and care. It is important to realize that ABS only makes a difference when it is activatedwhen you have to brake hardand that would only be when the computer senses that a wheel is approaching lock up. When ABS activates, keep steady pressure on the brake pedal and then let the ABS work for you. Dont pump the brakes or try to find the threshold. Simply hold the brake pedal down and steer if necessary to avoid an obstacle.
GM offers Anti-Lock Brake Systems as standard or optional on all North American passenger vehicles and light truck lines. The computerized Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) is designed to keep the vehicles wheels rotating as the brakes are applied to assist the driver in achieving a controlled stop. Sensors monitor how fast the wheels rotate and feed the data continuously to the ABS computer. The vehicles brakes slow each wheel as the brake pedal is applied. However, when ABS is activated due to road conditions, the system repeatedly releases and applies pressure to the brakes. The wheels can keep rolling, thus retaining steering ability and enhanced stability while providing a higher braking force on most surfaces than a locked wheel provides.
How exactly does ABS work?
In cars without ABS, hitting the brakes can cause the wheels to lock, leaving you unable to steer the vehicle until you decrease the pressure so the wheels can roll again. With an ABS, as you apply the brakes, the ABS computer monitors the wheel speed sensor information. If the computer senses that a wheel is approaching lock up, it sends a signal to the hydraulic modulator to reduce, then to reapply, brake pressure several times a second for as long as you maintain firm pressure on the brake pedal. The process is much like the threshold braking technique used with conventional brakes. However, ABS does it much faster and more accurately than any driver can, leaving you free to focus on steering away from obstacles.
allow you to stop on a dime. (Generally a 2-second following distance is considered safe in ideal conditions.) Watch the vehicle in front of you pass a fixed marker (such as a sign). Count secondsone-thousand-one, one-thousand-two-until your front bumper reaches the marker. If you do not count out two seconds, then you are too close to the vehicle in front of you. Also, if the roads are wet or icy, or visibility is poor, you should increase your following distance.
especially on slippery surfaces. ABS cannot create friction between the tires and the road surface, it can only give the driver the maximum advantage of the existing adhesion. If the vehicle is traveling on a surface with no adhesion, the best ABS in the world cannot provide a shorter stopping distance or good steering.
