DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE
The Airbag Control Module (ACM) contains the
safing sensor and energy reserve capacitor. The saf-
ing sensor is located inside the ACM. The module is
mounted on the tunnel/floor pan between the gear
PLRESTRAINT SYSTEM 8M - 1

shift lever and the park brake lever (Fig. 1). The saf-
ing sensor provides confirmation of a crash, but does
not discriminate severity. The ACM monitors the sys-
tem to determine the system readiness. The ACM
contains on-board diagnostics, and will illuminate the
AIRBAG warning lamp in the cluster when a fault
occurs. The warning equipment is tested for six to
eight seconds every time the vehicle is started.
CLOCKSPRING
The clockspring is mounted to the steering column
behind the steering wheel. The clockspring is used to
maintain a continuous electrical circuit between the
wiring harness and the:
²Driver's airbag module
²Speed control switches
²Horn switch
The clockspring consists of a flat, ribbon like, elec-
trically conductive tape which winds and unwinds
with the steering wheel rotation.

PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE, THERE ARE NO
SERVICEABLE PARTS WITH IN THE MODULES.
The Driver Airbag Module located on the steering
wheel is the most visible part of the system (Fig. 2).
The airbag module contains a housing to which the
cushion, inflator and cover are attached to.
The driver side inflator assembly is mounted from
the back of the module housing. When supplied with
the proper electrical signal the inflator assembly will
produce a gas and discharge it directly into the cush-
ion. A protective cover is fitted to the front of the
Driver Airbag Module and forms a decorative cover
in the center of the steering wheel. The Driver Air-
bag Module is mounted directly to the steering
wheel.The Passenger Airbag Module is located beneath
the decorative cover of the instrument panel, facing
the passenger seat (Fig. 3).
The passenger inflator assembly is within the mod-
ule housing. The module is mounted to the instru-
ment panel retainer and support structure. When
supplied with the proper electrical signal the inflator
will produce a gas and discharge it directly into the
cushion. A protective cover is fitted into the instru-
ment panel over the airbag module and forms a dec-
orative cover.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
The Immobilizer system includes the following
unique items:
²An immobilizer module receiver that controls
system operation and also controls the RKE and Illu-
minated entry systems, if equipped.
²An encoded Crankshaft Position Sensor for the
ignition system. The Immobilizer module decodes the
signal from the crankshaft so the PCM can recognize
it as a valid Crankshaft Position Sensor signal, and
allow the engine to run.
²A wiring harness that interconnects the crank-
shaft sensor, the immobilizer receiver, and the PCM.
²Two key fob transmitters.
The Immobilizer System prevents unauthorized
operation of the vehicle by disabling the engine and
starter. The system will NOT allow the vehicle to
start unless the UNLOCK button on the RKE trans-
mitter is pressed. The system will be activated after
turning the ignition switch to the OFF position and
using one of the following methods.
(1) Press the LOCK button on the RKE transmit-
ter.
(2) LOCK the doors by pressing a power lock but-
ton switch.
(3) LOCK the driver or passenger door using the
key.
²The Security light will flash, for about 16 sec-
onds, indicating that the engine and starter will be
disabled.
²The Security light remaining on, indicates the
system is not operational.
²The Immobilizer will activate automatically
within 10 minutes of the ignition switch being in the
OFF position, whether the vehicle has been locked or
unlocked.²An attempt to start the vehicle without pressing
the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter will
result in a warning chime and the Security light
flashing.
NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the OFF posi-
tion in order for the system to be activated, whether
the doors are closed or not.
IMMOBILIZER RECEIVER
The immobilizer receiver is programmed to
respond to the Lock and Unlock radio signals issued
by the immobilizer transmitters. The receiver will
only respond to the radio signals of transmitters (up
to four) whose vehicle access codes have been stored
in the receiver's electronic memory. The receiver is
programmed at the assembly plant with the vehicle
access codes of the two transmitters that are shipped
with the vehicle.
The immobilizer receiver also has a central pro-
cessing unit, which contains the immobilizer system
logic. The programming in the immobilizer receiver
allows the system to learn and retain transmitter
vehicle access codes, as well as to communicate with
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and/or the
DRB scan tool on the Chrysler Collision Detection
(CCD) data bus network.
The CCD data bus network allows the sharing of
sensor information. This helps to reduce wiring har-
ness complexity, reduce internal controller hardware,
and reduce component sensor current loads. At the
same time, the CCD data bus network provides
increased reliability and enhanced diagnostic capabil-
ities.
Each immobilizer transmitter has a different vehi-
cle access code, which must be programmed into the
memory of the immobilizer receiver in the vehicle in
order to operate the immobilizer system. A DRB scan
tool must be used to program new or additional
PLIMMOBILIZER SYSTEM 8Q - 1

transmitter vehicle access codes into the memory of
the immobilizer receiver. Refer to the Vehicle Theft
Security System menu item on the DRB scan tool for
the procedures.
The immobilizer receiver recognizes the Lock and
Unlock signals received from the programmed immo-
bilizer transmitters. If the code sent by the key fob
transmitter is recognized as valid by the Immobilizer
module, it will decode the Crankshaft Position Sensor
signal, enable the starter circuit, and allow the
engine to run.
The immobilizer receiver is mounted to the dash
panel with a hook and loop fastener patch. It is
located behind the instrument cluster and above the
heater-A/C housing. The receiver is connected to the
dash panel cross-body wiring harness. (Fig. 1)
For diagnosis of the vehicle immobilizer receiver or
the CCD data bus, a DRB scan tool is required. Refer
to the Vehicle Theft Security System menu item of
the DRB scan tool for the procedures. The immobi-
lizer receiver contains no servicable parts. If faulty,
the unit must be replaced.
IMMOBILIZER TRANSMITTER
The vehicle immobilizer system includes two trans-
mitters that are supplied with the vehicle when it isshipped from the factory. Each of the two transmit-
ters is equipped with two buttons labeled with Inter-
national Standards Organization (ISO) symbols for
Lock, and Unlock. Two spare batteries (enough for
one transmitter) are also shipped with the transmit-
ters. The transmitters are equipped with a key ring
and are designed to serve as a key fob. The operating
range of the radio frequency transmitter signal is up
to 7 meters (23 feet) from the immobilizer receiver.
Each transmitter has a different vehicle access
code, which must be programmed into the memory of
the immobilizer receiver in the vehicle in order to
operate the immobilizer system. The two transmit-
ters shipped with the vehicle have their vehicle
access codes programmed into the receiver at the fac-
tory. A DRB scan tool must be used to program new
or additional transmitter vehicle access codes into
the memory of the immobilizer receiver. Refer to the
Vehicle Theft Security System menu item on the
DRB scan tool for the procedures.
Each transmitter operates on two Duracell DL2016
(or equivalent) batteries. Typical battery life is from
one to two years.
POWER-UP MODE
When the vehicle immobilizer system senses that
the vehicle battery has been disconnected and recon-
nected, it enters its power-up mode. If the immobi-
lizer system was armed prior to the battery
disconnect, the system remains armed when the bat-
tery is reconnected.
If the immobilizer system was disarmed prior to
the battery disconnect, the system will remain dis-
armed if the battery is reconnected within five min-
utes. The system will passively arm itself when the
battery is reconnected more than five minutes after a
battery disconnect or failure. After any passive arm-
ing, the system will have to be actively disarmed
using one of the transmitters.
The power-up mode logic also applies if the battery
goes dead, and battery jump-starting is attempted.
The engine no-run feature will prevent the engine
from operating until the vehicle immobilizer system
has been actively disarmed.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
IMMOBILIZER DIAGNOSIS
Refer to the 1998 PL Powertrain Diagnostic Man-
ual for complete diagnostic procedures of the immo-
bilizer system.
