WARNING: USE EXTREME CARE TO PREVENT ANY
FOREIGN MATERIAL FROM ENTERING THE SIDE
CURTAIN AIRBAG, OR BECOMING ENTRAPPED
BETWEEN THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG CUSHION
AND THE HEADLINER. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS
WARNING COULD RESULT IN OCCUPANT INJURIES
UPON AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.
(1) Position the side curtain airbag into the vehicle
as a unit.
(2) Align all four plastic push-in fasteners that
secure the extruded plastic side curtain airbag chan-
nel with their holes in the roof side rail and push
them straight into the roof rail until they are fully
seated (Fig. 40) and (Fig. 41).
(3) Install and tighten the upper screw that
secures the side curtain airbag inflator bracket to the
U-nut in the roof rail, followed by the lower screw
(Fig. 42). Tighten the screws to 12 N´m (105 in. lbs.).
(4) Working from the rear of the vehicle to the
front, install and tighten each of the three screws
that secure the side curtain airbag manifold tube
brackets to the U-nuts in the roof rail. Tighten the
screws to 12 N´m (105 in. lbs.).(5) Route the side curtain airbag pigtail wire
through the trough along the top of the extruded
plastic airbag channel on the roof side rail, then
between the channel and the body down the B-pillar.
NOTE: Be certain that the side curtain airbag pigtail
wire is routed behind the airbag channel, between
the channel and the body above the B-pillar.
(6) Engage the three side curtain airbag pigtail
wire retainer clips into the B-pillar (Fig. 39).
(7) Reconnect the side curtain airbag pigtail wire
connector to the body wire harness connector near
the base of the B-pillar.
(8) Engage the two side curtain airbag tether plas-
tic retainer clips into the A-pillar (Fig. 38).
(9) Install and tighten the screw that secures the
side curtain airbag tether retainer to the base of the
A-pillar near the belt line. Tighten the screw to 14
N´m (120 in. lbs.).

INSTALLATION
The hood ajar switch striker is not intended for
reuse. If the striker is removed from the hood inner
reinforcement for any reason, it must be replaced
with a new unit.
(1) Position the new hood ajar switch striker to the
inner hood panel reinforcement (Fig. 8).
(2) Insert the integral mounting tab on the front of
the hood ajar switch striker into the forward mount-
ing hole in the inner hood panel reinforcement.
(3) Align the integral retainer on the rear of the
hood ajar switch striker with the rearward mounting
hole in the inner hood panel reinforcement.
(4) Using hand pressure, firmly press the hood
ajar switch striker rearward and upward against the
inner hood panel reinforcement until the hood ajar
switch striker retainer is fully engaged in the rear-
ward mounting hole in the inner hood panel rein-
forcement.
(5) Close and latch the hood.
INTRUSION TRANSCEIVER
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
An Intrusion Transceiver Module (ITM) is part of
the Rest-Of-World (ROW) premium version of the
Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) in the Vehicle Theft Secu-
rity System (VTSS) (Fig. 9). The ROW premium ver-
sion of the VTA is only available in vehicles built for
certain markets, where the additional features
offered by this system are required. The ITM is
located in the passenger compartment, on the lower
surface of the headliner near the center of the vehi-cle. This unit is designed to provide interior motion
detection, and serve as an interface between the
Body Control Module (BCM) and the alarm siren
module.
The ITM is concealed beneath a dedicated molded
plastic trim cover that approximates the size and
shape of a typical dome lamp housing. However,
rather than a lens, the ITM features three sets of
louvered openings in a molded lateral center rib for-
mation. One set of louvered openings is located at
each outboard end of the center rib, while the third
set is centered. Each of the louvered openings is cov-
ered on the inside by a single molded black plastic
sight shield that extends the length of the center rib
for appearance. The module is secured to a molded
plastic mounting bracket above the headliner by four
latch features that are integral to the underside of
the module housing. Besides the ITM, the trim cover
also conceals two plastic pins integral to the mount-
ing bracket that are used to secure the bracket to the
headliner with two stamped nuts that are installed
from below. An adhesive-backed foam pad is installed
above the ITM bracket between the headliner and
the roof panel to provide additional headliner stabili-
zation and support for the ITM mounting. Two small
notch-like service holes on the rear edge of the trim
cover afford access to the two integral rear latches of
the ITM for service removal (Fig. 10).
The ITM circuitry is contained within a black
molded plastic housing with four integral mounting
tabs that are secured to the back of the trim cover
with four screws. Concealed within the housing is the

BASE COAT/CLEAR COAT
FINISH
DESCRIPTION
The original equipment finish is a multi step pro-
cess that involves cleaning, applying electro de-posi-
tion (E-coat), anti-chip primer, base coat, and clear
coat steps.
On most vehicles a two-part paint application (base
coat/clear coat) is used. Color paint that is applied to
primer is called base coat. The clear coat protects the
base coat from ultraviolet light and provides a dura-
ble high-gloss finish.
