GENERAL INFORMATION
The airbag system is a standard equipment safety
device on XJ (Cherokee) models. It is designed to pro-
tect the driver from serious injury, caused by a fron-
tal impact of the vehicle. If the airbag module
assembly is defective and non-deployed, refer to
Chrysler Corporation current return list for proper
handling procedures.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the airbag system.AIRBAG MODULE
The airbag module protective cover is the only vis-
ible part of the system. The module is mounted di-
rectly to the steering wheel. Under the airbag
module cover, the airbag cushion and its supporting
components are contained. The airbag module con-
tains a housing to which the cushion and impact sen-
sor/inflator assembly are attached and sealed. The
airbag module is non-serviceable, and must be re-
placed if deployed or damaged in any way.
The impact sensor/inflator assembly is mounted to
the back of the module. The inflator seals the hole in
JRESTRAINT SYSTEMS 8M - 1

the airbag cushion so it can discharge the gas it pro-
duces directly into the cushion. The protective cover
is fitted to the front of the airbag module and forms
a decorative cover in the center of the steering wheel.
Upon airbag deployment, this cover will split hori-
zontally.
STORAGE
The airbag module must be stored in its original,
special container until used for service. Also, it must
be stored in a clean, dry environment; away from
sources of extreme heat, sparks, and high electrical
energy. Always place or store the module on a surface
with the trim cover facing up to minimize movement
in case of accidental deployment.
IMPACT SENSOR/INFLATOR ASSEMBLY
The impact sensor/inflator assembly is mounted to
the back of the airbag module. It seals the hole in
the steering wheel side of the airbag cushion so that
gas produced in the inflator can be discharged di-
rectly into the cushion.
The impact sensor provides verification of the di-
rection and severity of the impact. A spherical sens-
ing mass housed in a cylinder will move forward and
rotate a D-shaft when the vehicle is subjected to a
frontal impact of sufficient severity. Airbag inflation
is designed to occur at a precisely calibrated vehicle
deceleration force, and is not linked to vehicle road
speed.The D-shaft retains two spring-loaded firing pins.
When a firing pin is released by the D-shaft, it
strikes and ignites a primer. The primer then reacts
with the pelletized, solid generant contained in the
inflator to produce the nitrogen gas that inflates the
airbag cushion.
ARMING/DISARMING MECHANISM
The steering wheel hub incorporates an airbag
arming/disarming mechanism and a specially de-
signed nut-blocker. The nut-blocker serves as a safety
to prevent removal of the airbag module until the
unit has been disarmed. A removable plastic cover
plug on the top, outer hub of the steering wheel al-
lows access to the arming screw.
When the airbag module is disarmed, the arming
screw extends upward from the steering wheel hub.
This will prevent installation of the plastic cover
plug. Also, the nut-blocker is retracted to allow ac-
cess to the two upper airbag module mounting nuts.
When the airbag module is armed, the plastic cover
plug will install flush with the outer surface of the
steering wheel hub. In addition, the nut-blocker will
prevent access to the two upper airbag module
mounting nuts.
DIAGNOSIS
This mechanical airbag system can not be diag-
nosed or repaired. The only serviced component is
the airbag module assembly. If the airbag module isdamaged in any way or deployed, it must be re-
placed.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
AIRBAG SYSTEM SERVICE (DEPLOYED)
Any vehicle which is to be returned to use after an
airbag deployment, must have the airbag module re-
placed. This is a one-time component and cannot be
reused.
AIRBAG MODULE HANDLING
UNDEPLOYED
At no time should any source of electricity be per-
mitted near the inflator on the back of the module.
When carrying an undeployed module, the trim cover
should be pointed away from the body to minimizeinjury in the event of accidental deployment. If the
module is placed on a bench or other surface, the
plastic trim cover should be face up to minimize
movement in case of accidental deployment.
In addition, the airbag module should be disarmed
whenever the steering wheel or steering column re-
quires service or removal. Failure to observe this
warning could result in accidental airbag deployment
and possible personal injury. Refer to Group 19 -
Steering for more service procedures on steering
wheel and steering column.
8M - 2 RESTRAINT SYSTEMSJ

DEPLOYED
Following an airbag deployment, the vehicle inte-
rior will contain a powdery residue. This residue is
primarily sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), used as
an airbag cushion lubricant. However, there will also
be traces of sodium hydroxide powder, a chemical
byproduct of the generant used for airbag deploy-
ment. Since this powder can irritate the skin, eyes,
nose or throat, be sure to wear safety glasses, rubber
gloves and a long-sleeved shirt during cleanup (Fig.
1).
If you experience skin irritation during
cleanup, run cool water over the affected area.
Also, if you experience irritation of the nose or
throat, exit the vehicle for fresh air until the ir-
ritation ceases. If irritation continues, see a
physician.
CLEANUP PROCEDURE
Remove the airbag and airbag module from the ve-
hicle. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any residual
powder from the vehicle interior. Clean from outside
the vehicle and work your way inside, so that you
avoid kneeling or sitting on an uncleaned area.
Be sure to vacuum the heater and A/C outlets as
well (Fig. 2). Run the blower on low and vacuum any
powder expelled from the plenum. You may need to
vacuum the interior of the car a second time to re-
cover all of the powder.
Place the deployed airbag and module in your ve-
hicular scrap pile.
AIRBAG MODULE REMOVE/INSTALL
WARNING: THIS AIRBAG SYSTEM IS A SENSITIVE,
COMPLEX MECHANICAL UNIT. BEFORE ATTEMPT-ING TO REMOVE OR INSTALL THE AIRBAG SYS-
TEM OR RELATED STEERING WHEEL AND

HOW TO USE THIS GROUP
The purpose of this group is to show the electrical
circuits in a clear, simple fashion and to make trou-
bleshooting easier. Components that work together
are shown together. All electrical components used in
a specific system are shown on one diagram. The feed
for a system is shown at the top of the page. All
wires, connectors, splices, and components are shown
in the flow of current to the bottom of the page. Wir-
ing which is not part of the circuit represented is ref-
erenced to another page/section, where the complete
circuit is shown. In addition, all switches, compo-
nents, and modules are shown in theat rest posi-
tion with the doors closed and the key removed
from the ignition.
If a component is part of several different circuits,
it is shown in the diagram for each. For example, the
headlamp switch is the main part of the exterior
lighting, but it also affects the interior lighting and
the chime warning system.
It is important to realize that no attempt is
made on the diagrams to represent components
and wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For
example, a short piece of wire is treated the
same as a long one. In addition, switches and
other components are shown as simply as pos-
sible, with regard to function only.
The wiring diagram show circuits for all wheel-
bases. If there is a difference in systems or compo-
nents between wheel-bases, an identifier is placed
next to the component.
SECTION IDENTIFICATION
Sections in Group 8W are organized by sub-sys-
tems. The sections contain circuit operation descrip-
tions, helpful information, and system diagrams. The
intention is to organize information by system, con-
sistently from year to year.
CONNECTOR LOCATIONS
Section 8W-90 contains Connector Location illus-
trations. The illustrations contain the connector
number and component identification. Connector Lo-
cation charts in Section 8W-90 reference the illustra-
tion number for components and connectors.
Section 8W-80 shows each connector and the cir-
cuits involved with that connector. The connectors
are identified using the number on the Diagram
pages.
SPLICE LOCATIONS
Splice Location charts in Section 8W-70 show the
entire splice, and provide references to other sections
the splice serves.
Section 8W-95 contains illustrations that show the
general location of the splices in each harness. The
illustrations show the splice by number, and provide
a written location.
