REPAIR INSTRUCTION
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
SERVICE PRECAUTION
Caution: The sensing and diagnosis module (SDM)
can maintain sufficient voltage to deploy the airbags
and pretensioner for 0.15 seconds after the ignition
is OFF and the airbag fuse has been removed. If the
airbags or pretensioners are not disconnected, do
not begin service until one minute has passed after
disconnecting power to the SDM. If the airbag are
disconnected, service can begin immediately without
waiting for one-minute time period to expire. Failure
to temporarily disable the SRS during service can
result in unexpected deployment, personal injury,
and otherwise unneeded SRS repairs.
DISABLING THE SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
1. Turn the steering wheel to the straight-ahead
position.
2. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK and remove the key.
3. Remove the airbag fuse F31 in the I/P fuse block
and wait more than one minute for SRS capacitor to
discharge.
ENABLING THE SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
Enabling the supplemental restraint system (SRS) is
reverse order of “Disabling the Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS)”.
Caution: Staying well away from the inflator
modules, turn the ignition key switch to ON, and
verify that the airbag indicator illuminates for 4.5
seconds and turns OFF. If it does not operate as
described, perform the “SRS Diagnostic System
Check” referring in this section.
HANDLING, INSTALLATION AND
DIAGNOSIS
Airbag modules should not be subjected to
temperature above 65°C (149°F)
An airbag module or sensing and diagnostic module
(SDM) should not be used if it has been dropped
from height of 0.9 meters (3 feet) or greater.
It is very important for the SDM to be installed flat
on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle’s
longitudinal axis.
To avoid setting diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs),
do not apply power to the SRS unless all components
are connected or a diagnostic chart request it.
The SRS Diagnostic System Check must be the
starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The SRS
Diagnostic System Check will verify proper airbag
indicator operation and will lead you to correct chart
to diagnose any SRS malfunctions. Bypassing
these procedures may result in extended diagnostic
time and incorrect parts replacements.
REPAIRS AND INSPECTIONS
REQUIRED AFTER AN ACCIDENT
Caution: any repairs to the vehicle’s structure must
return it to the original production configuration.
Deployment requires replacement of SDM, the
inflator modules, and a dimensional inspection of
the steering column.
If any SRS components are damaged, they must
be replaced. If SRS components mounting points
are damaged, they must be repaired or replaced.
Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. This does
not include remanufactured parts purchased from
an authorized source.
Do not attempt to service the SDM, the clock spring,
or other airbag modules, these items must be
replaced if they are defective.
Verify the part number of replacement airbag
modules. Some inflator modules look identical but
contain different internal components.
ACCIDENT WITH DEPLOYMENT -
COMPONENTS REPLACEMENT
All SRS components must be replaced after frontal crash
involving airbag deployment. After deployment, a
powdery residue may be on the surface of the airbag.
The powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to
lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-products of the
chemical reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to
lye soap) is produced as a by-product of the deployment
reaction. The sodium hydroxide then quickly reacts with
atmospheric moisture and is converted to sodium
carbonate and sodium bicarbonate (also known as
baking soda). Therefore, it is unlikely that sodium
hydroxide will be present after deployment. Replace
the following SRS components.
Caution: Wear gloves and safety glasses during the
disposal procedure. Refer to “Deployed Airbag
Module Disposal Procedure” in this section.

ACCIDENT WITHOUT DEPLOYMENT
- COMPONENT INSPECTION
Certain inspection must be performed after any crash,
whether the airbag has deployed or not:
The steering column must be dimensionally
inspected.
Inspect the knee bolsters and mounting points for
distortion, bending, cracking, or other damage.
Inspect the instrument panel (I/P) and steering
column reinforcement plate for distortion, bending,
cracking, or other damage.
Inspect the I/P braces for distortion, bending,
cracking, or other damage.
Inspect seat belt and mounting points. Refer to
Section 8A, Seat Belts.
SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC
MODULE (SDM)
Caution: during service procedures, be very careful
when handling the SDM. Never strike or jar the SDM.
Never power up the SRS when the SDM is not rigidly
attached to the vehicle. All SDM mounting nuts must
carefully tightened, to ensure proper operation of
the SRS. The SDM could be activated if it is powered
while not rigidly attached to the vehicle, resulting
in unexpected deployment and possible injury.
Important: If the vehicle interior has been exposed to
extensive water intrusion such as water leaks, driving
through high water, flooding, or other causes, the sensing
and diagnostic module (SDM) and SDM connector may
need to be replaced. With the ignition OFF, inspect the
area around the SDM, including the carpet. If any
significant soaking or evidence of previous soaking is
detected, the water must be removed, the water damage
repaired, and the SDM and SDM connector must be
replaced. Before attempting any of these repairs, the
supplemental restraint system (SRS) must be disabled.
Refer to”Disabling the Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS)” in this section.
Removal and installation Procedure
1. Disable the supplemental restraint system (SRS).
Refer to “Disabling the SRS” in this section.
2. Remove the connector position assurance lock,
which is tethered to the SDM connector.
3. Disconnect the SDM electrical connector.
4. Remove the SDM mounting nuts and grounding nut.

scraped, the airbag may be deployed inside the vehicle.
Caution: To avoid injury while deploying an airbag
or a pretensioner in the vehicle, observe the
following precaution:
Before deploying the airbags, remove all loose
objects from the airbag’s expansion area.
Deploy the airbags with the vehicle doors closed
and the side windows open.
Deploy the airbags only in an evacuated area.
Service personnel who must be present during
the deployment should be at least 10 meters (33
feet) in front of the vehicle.
Do not connect the voltage source until after
having completed all other preparations for the
deployment of the airbags.
Allow a deployed airbag module or pretensioner
to cool for at least 30 minutes before handling.

9B-2 LIGHTING SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
HEAD LAMPS - ON REMINDER
When the headlamp switch is in the headlamps-on or
parkinglamps-on positions, voltage is applied to the
chime module. With the headlamp switch on and the
driver’s side door open, the module loses voltage. The
module senses this change. If voltage is still available,
it is applied to sound the chime. The chime can be
turned off by turning the headlamp switch off or closing
the driver’s side door. To replace the chime module,
refer to Section 9E, Instrumentation / Driver Information.
HEAD LAMPS
The headlamps are controlled by the multifunction lever
on the left side of the steering column. They will come
on with the ignition switch in on position. Turning the
headlamp switch to the first position turns on the
parking lamps, the license plate lamps, and the
instrument panel illumination. Turning the switch to the
second position turns on all of the previous lamps and
the headlamps. Turning the switch off turns off all the
lamps.
The headlamps high beam and low beams are also
controlled by this lever. When the headlamps are on,
pushing the lever away from the driver until the switch
clicks changes the lamp from low beam to high beam.
An indicator lamp on the instrument cluster assembly
will come on when the high beam headlamps are on.
To return the headlamps to low beams, pull the lever
toward the driver.
The headlamps must be aimed for proper illumination
of the road. Headlamp aim should be checked
whenever a new headlamp assembly is installed or
when service or repairs to the front end may have
disturbed the headlamp assembly or its mountings.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
The daytime running lamps (DRL) will illuminate under
the following conditions:
 The ignition is ON.
 The light switch is OFF.
 The parking brake is released.
When the head lamps are on, the DRL will turn off.
To turn the DRL off when idling, apply the parking
brake.
PARKING AND TURN SIGNAL
LAMPS
The parking lamps can be turned on by turning the
headlamp switch to the first position. The parking lamps
can be turned off by turning the switch off.
When the turn signals are activated, the appropriate
turn signal lamps flash to signal a turn. The front, the
rear, work only when the ignition is on.
The front and rear turn signals are controlled by the
multifunction lever on the left side of the steering
column. Moving the lever all the way up or down past
the detent will turn on the turn signals. When the turn
is complete, the lever will automatically be release,
and the front and the rear turn signals will stop flashing.
For changing lanes or shallow turns in which the steering
wheel does not turn far enough to cancel the signal,
move the signal to the first detent and hold it there.
The turn signal will cancel when the lever is released.
FOG LAMPS
The fog lamp switch is located in multifunction lever
on the right side of steering column. To use the fog
lamps, first turn on the parking lamps. Then, turning
the fog lamps switch on position. The indicator light in
the instrument cluster will illuminate to indicate that
the fog lamps are on. Turning the switch again to turn
off the fog lamps. The indicator light will then go off.
The fog lamps must be aimed for proper illumination
of the road. Fog lamp aim should be checked when a
new bulb is installed or if service or repairs to the front
end may have disturbed the fog lamp assembly or its
mountings.
REAR COMBINATION LAMPS
The taillamps, stoplamps, backup lamps and turn
signals are one assembly.
Turning on either the headlamps or the parking lamps
will also turn on the taillamps. When the brake pedal
is pushed, the taillamps will glow more brightly to serve
as stop lamps.
CENTER HIGH-MOUNTED STOP
LAMP
The center high-mounted stoplamp is on the tail gate
and will come on when the brake pedal is pressed.
