2004.5 Spectra Technology
INTRODUCTION
The 2004.5 Spectra has many electrical accessories to
provide comfort and convenience for the occupants.
These accessories include:
• Remote keyless entry (RKE)
• Power windows
• Power door locks
• Lamps and windshield wiper/washer systems
• Alarm functions
• Timer functions
In past vehicles, these systems represent separate
electrical units that were added to the vehicle one at a
time as either standard or optional equipment.
However, these separate electrical units, each with its
control unit and wiring, added to the electrical
complexity of the vehicle.
To reduce this complexity while increasing
functionality, automotive electrical engineers have
designed an Electronic Time and Alarm Control System
(ETACS) for the 2004.5 Spectra, which incorporate
many of these electrical accessories into one unit.
PURPOSE
The ETACS module is fitted together with the
Integrated Bussed Electrical Center (IBEC) containing
the interior fuse and relay box. This design provides
the driver of the Spectra with one central location to
replace blown fuses and listen to the warning buzzer.
