REMOVAL
The following procedure is for replacement of a
faulty or damaged side curtain airbag. If the side
curtain airbag has been deployed, review the recom-
mended procedures for service after a supplemental
restraint deployment before removing the airbag
from the vehicle. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RE-
STRAINTS - STANDARD PROCEDURE - SERVICE
AFTER A SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT DEPLOY-
MENT).

These connections allow the SIACM to be operational
whenever the ignition switch is in the Start or On
positions. An electronic impact sensor is contained
within the SIACM. The electronic impact sensor is
an accelerometer that senses the rate of vehicle
deceleration, which provides verification of the direc-
tion and severity of an impact. A pre-programmed
decision algorithm in the SIACM microprocessor
determines when the deceleration rate as signaled by
the impact sensor indicates a side impact that is
severe enough to require side curtain airbag protec-
tion. When the programmed conditions are met, the
SIACM sends the proper electrical signals to deploy
the side curtain airbag.
The hard wired inputs and outputs for the SIACM
may be diagnosed and tested using conventional
diagnostic tools and procedures. However, conven-
tional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in
the diagnosis of the SIACM, the PCI data bus net-
work, or the electronic message inputs to and outputs
from the SIACM. The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the SIACM, the PCI data
bus network, and the electronic message inputs to
and outputs from the SIACM requires the use of a
DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnos-
tic information.

SECURITY SYSTEM
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) is
divided into two basic subsystems: Vehicle Theft
Alarm (VTA) and Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS). Following are the recommended procedures
for diagnosis and testing of each of these two sub-
systems.

VEHICLE THEFT ALARM
Models equipped with the Rest-Of-World (ROW)
premium version of the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA)
provide some preliminary diagnostic feedback by illu-minating the security indicator located in the Elec-
troMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC). If the
security indicator illuminates with the ignition
switch in the On position, it indicates that there is a
communication problem between the Intrusion
Transceiver Module (ITM) and the Body Control
Module (BCM), or between the ITM and the siren
module. The BCM will also turn on the security indi-
cator if it receives a message from the ITM indicating
that the ITM has stored a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) for a siren module fault.
The hard wired circuits and components of the
VTA may be diagnosed and tested using conventional
diagnostic tools and procedures. However, conven-
tional diagnostic methods may not prove conclusive
in the diagnosis of the Body Control Module (BCM),
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC),
the Intrusion Transceiver Module (ITM), or the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus
network. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the BCM, the EMIC, the ITM,
and the PCI data bus network inputs and outputs
related to the VTA requires the use of a DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire har-
ness connectors, splices and grounds.

the front wiper system components as required.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/FRONT WIPERS/WASH-

switch is not in the dome lamp disable position. With
all four doors and the tailgate closed, open the rear
flip-up glass. The interior lamps should light. Close
the rear flip-up glass. Note whether the interior
lamps remain lighted. They should turn off after
about thirty seconds. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK,
go to Step 9.
(2) Check the fused B(+) fuse (Fuse 17 - 15
ampere) in the Junction Block (JB). If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component
as required and replace the faulty fuse.
(3) Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) fuse
(Fuse 17 - 15 ampere) in the JB. If OK, go to Step 4.
If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit between
the JB and the Power Distribution Center (PDC) as
required.

and go to Step 6. If not OK, repair the open fused
ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit between the
JB and the ignition switch as required.
(6) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector for the multi-function switch (Connector
C-2) from the switch connector receptacle. Reconnect
the battery negative cable. Turn the ignition switchto the On position. Check for battery voltage at the
fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit cavity of

function switch does not test OK, replace the faulty
switch.
(8) Remove the tailgate inner trim panel. Discon-
nect the tailgate wire harness connector for the rear
wiper module from the module connector receptacle.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit cav-
ity of the tailgate wire harness connector for the rear
wiper module and a good ground. There should be
continuity. If OK, go to Step 9. If not OK, repair the
open ground circuit to ground (G312) as required.
(9) Check for continuity between the flip-up glass
ajar switch sense circuit cavity of the tailgate wire
harness connector for the rear wiper module and a
good ground. There should be continuity with the
rear flip-up glass open, and no continuity with the
rear flip-up glass closed. If OK, go to Step 10. If not
OK, repair the open flip-up glass ajar circuit between
the rear wiper module and the flip-up glass ajar
switch as required.
(10) Reconnect the battery negative cable. Check
for battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of
the tailgate wire harness connector for the rear wiper
