airbag unit, the headliner, as well as the upper A, B,
and C-pillar trim must be replaced. These compo-
nents are not intended for reuse and will be damaged
or weakened as a result of a supplemental restraint
deployment, which may or may not be obvious during
a visual inspection.
On vehicles with an optional sunroof, the sunroof
drain tubes and hoses must be closely inspected fol-
lowing a side curtain airbag deployment. It is also
critical that the mounting surfaces and/or mounting
brackets for the Airbag Control Module (ACM), Side
Impact Airbag Control Module (SIACM), and front
impact sensors be closely inspected and restored to
their original conditions following any vehicle impact
damage. Because the ACM, SIACM, and each front
impact sensor are used by the supplemental restraint
system to monitor or confirm the direction and sever-
ity of a vehicle impact, improper orientation or inse-
cure fastening of these components may cause
airbags not to deploy when required, or to deploy
when not required. All other vehicle components
should be closely inspected following any other sup-
plemental restraint deployment, but are to be
replaced only as required by the extent of the visible
damage incurred.
AIRBAG SQUIB STATUS
Multistage airbags with multiple initiators (squibs)
must be checked to determine that all squibs were
used during the deployment event. The driver and
passenger airbags in this model are deployed by elec-
trical signals generated by the Airbag Control Mod-
ule (ACM) through the driver or passenger squib 1
and squib 2 circuits to the two initiators in the air-
bag inflators. Typically, both initiators are used andall potentially hazardous chemicals are burned dur-
ing an airbag deployment event. However, it is possi-
ble for only one initiator to be used due to an airbag
system fault; therefore, it is always necessary to con-
firm that both initiators have been used in order to
avoid the improper handling or disposal of poten-
tially live pyrotechnic or hazardous materials. The
following procedure should be performed using a
DRBIIItscan tool to verify the status of both airbag
squibs before either deployed airbag is removed from
the vehicle for disposal.
CAUTION: Deployed front airbags having two initia-
tors (squibs) in the airbag inflator may or may not
have live pyrotechnic material within the inflator. Do
not dispose of these airbags unless you are sure of
complete deployment. Refer to the Hazardous Sub-
stance Control System for proper disposal proce-
dures. Dispose of all non-deployed and deployed
airbags in a manner consistent with state, provin-
cial, local, and federal regulations.
(1) Be certain that the DRBIIItscan tool contains
the latest version of the proper DRBIIItsoftware.
Connect the DRBIIItto the 16-way Data Link Con-
nector (DLC). The DLC is located on the driver side
lower edge of the instrument panel, outboard of the
steering column.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
(3) Using the DRBIIIt, read and record the active
(current) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) data.
Using the active DTC information, refer to theAir-
bag Squib Statustable to determine the status of
both driver and/or passenger airbag squibs.

The resistive membrane-type horn switch is
secured with heat stakes to the inside surface of the
driver airbag trim cover, between the trim cover and
the folded airbag cushion. The horn switch ground
pigtail wire has a female spade terminal connector
that receives a path to ground through a male spade
terminal that is integral to the driver airbag housing
stamping and is located near the upper right corner
on the back of the housing (Fig. 15). The horn switch
feed pigtail wire has a white, molded plastic insula-
tor that is secured by an integral retainer to a
mounting hole located near the lower left corner on
the back of the housing, and is connected to the vehi-
cle electrical system through a take out and connec-
tor of the steering wheel wire harness.
The airbag used in this model is a multistage, Next
Generation-type that complies with revised federal
airbag standards to deploy with less force than those
used in some prior models. A 67 centimeter (26.5
inch) diameter, radial deploying fabric cushion with
tethers is used. The airbag inflator is a dual-initiator,
non-azide, pyrotechnic-type unit with four mounting
studs and is secured to the stamped metal airbag
housing using four hex nuts with washers. Two
keyed and color-coded connector receptacles on the
driver airbag inflator connect the two inflator initia-
tors to the vehicle electrical system through two yel-
low-jacketed, two-wire pigtail harnesses of the
clockspring. The driver airbag and horn switch unit
cannot be repaired, and must be replaced if deployed
or in any way damaged.OPERATION
The multistage driver airbag is deployed by electri-
cal signals generated by the Airbag Control Module
(ACM) through the driver airbag squib 1 and squib 2
circuits to the two initiators in the airbag inflator. By
using two initiators, the airbag can be deployed at
multiple levels of force. The force level is controlled
by the ACM to suit the monitored impact conditions
by providing one of three delay intervals between the
electrical signals provided to the two initiators. The
longer the delay between these signals, the less force-
fully the airbag will deploy. When the ACM sends the
proper electrical signals to each initiator, the electri-
cal energy generates enough heat to initiate a small
pyrotechnic charge which, in turn ignites chemical
pellets within the inflator. Once ignited, these chem-
ical pellets burn rapidly and produce a large quantity
of nitrogen gas. The inflator is sealed to the back of
the airbag housing and a diffuser in the inflator
directs all of the nitrogen gas into the airbag cush-
ion, causing the cushion to inflate. As the cushion
inflates, the driver airbag trim cover will split at pre-
determined breakout lines, then fold back out of the
way along with the horn switch unit. Following an
airbag deployment, the airbag cushion quickly
deflates by venting the nitrogen gas towards the
instrument panel through vent holes within the fab-
ric used to construct the back (steering wheel side)
panel of the airbag cushion.
Some of the chemicals used to create the nitrogen
gas may be considered hazardous while in their solid
state before they are burned, but they are securely
sealed within the airbag inflator. Typically, both ini-
tiators are used and all potentially hazardous chem-
icals are burned during an airbag deployment event.
However, it is possible for only one initiator to be
used during a deployment due to an airbag system
fault; therefore, it is necessary to always confirm
that both initiators have been used in order to avoid
the improper disposal of potentially live pyrotechnic
or hazardous materials. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
RESTRAINTS - STANDARD PROCEDURE - SER-
VICE AFTER A SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
DEPLOYMENT). The nitrogen gas that is produced
when the chemicals are burned is harmless. How-
ever, a small amount of residue from the burned
chemicals may cause some temporary discomfort if it
contacts the skin, eyes, or breathing passages. If skin
or eye irritation is noted, rinse the affected area with
plenty of cool, clean water. If breathing passages are
irritated, move to another area where there is plenty
of clean, fresh air to breath. If the irritation is not
alleviated by these actions, contact a physician.

electronic circuitry of the ITM which includes a
microprocessor, and an ultrasonic receive transducer.
A molded plastic connector receptacle containing six
terminal pins that is soldered to a small circuit board
and extends through a clearance hole in the left front
corner of the ITM housing, and an ultrasonic trans-
mit transducer housing extends from the center of
the right side of the ITM housing. Both the transmit
transducer on the right side of the module and the
receive transducer on the ITM circuit board are
aimed through two small round holes in the sight
shield of the trim cover. The ITM is connected to the
vehicle electrical system by a dedicated take out and
connector of the overhead wire harness that is inte-
gral to the headliner.
The ITM unit cannot be adjusted or repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. The ITM is
serviced as a unit with the trim cover.
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Intrusion Transceiver
Module (ITM) contains the motion sensor logic cir-
cuits and controls all of the features of the premium
version of the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA). The ITM
uses On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communi-
cate with other electronic modules in the vehicle as
well as with the DRBIIItscan tool using the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus
network. This method of communication is used by
the ITM to communicate with the Body Control Mod-
ule (BCM) and for diagnosis and testing through the
16-way data link connector located on the driver side
lower edge of the instrument panel. The ITM also
communicates with the alarm siren over a dedicated
serial bus circuit.
The ITM microprocessor continuously monitors
inputs from its on-board motion sensor circuitry as
well as inputs from the BCM and the alarm siren
module. The on-board ITM motion sensor circuitry
transmits ultrasonic signals into the vehicle cabin
through a transmit transducer, then listens to the
returning signals as the bounce off of objects in the
vehicle interior. If an object is moving in the interior,
a detection circuit in the ITM senses this movement
through the modulation of the returning ultrasonic
signals that occurs due to the Doppler effect. The
motion detect function of the ITM can be disabled by
depressing the ªLockº button on the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter three times within fifteen
seconds, while the security indicator is still flashing
rapidly. The ITM will signal the alarm siren module
to provide a single siren ªchirpº as an audible confir-
mation that the motion sensor function has been dis-
abled.
If movement is detected, the ITM sends an elec-
tronic message to the BCM over the PCI data bus toflash the exterior lighting and sends an electronic
message to the alarm siren module over a dedicated
serial bus line to sound the siren. When the BCM
detects a breach in the perimeter protection through
a door, tailgate, flip-up glass, or hood ajar switch
input, it sends an electronic message to the ITM and
the ITM sends an electronic message to the BCM
over the PCI data bus to flash the exterior lighting
and sends an electronic message to the alarm siren
module over a dedicated serial bus line to sound the
siren. The ITM also monitors inputs from the alarm
siren module for siren battery or siren input/output
circuit tamper alerts, and siren battery condition
alerts, then sets active and stored Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC) for any monitored system faults it
detects. An active fault only remains for the current
ignition switch cycle, while a stored fault causes a
DTC to be stored in memory by the ITM. If a fault
does not recur for fifty ignition cycles, the ITM will
automatically erase the stored DTC.
The ITM is connected to the vehicle electrical sys-
tem through a dedicated take out and connector of
the overhead wire harness. The ITM receives battery
current on a fused B(+) circuit through a fuse in the
Junction Block (JB), and receives ground through a
ground circuit and take out of the body wire harness.
This ground take out has a single eyelet terminal
connector that is secured by a ground screw to the
base of the left D-pillar behind the quarter trim
panel. These connections allow the ITM to remain
operational, regardless of the ignition switch position.
The hard wired inputs and outputs for the ITM may
be diagnosed and tested using conventional diagnos-
tic tools and procedures. However, conventional diag-
nostic methods will not prove conclusive in the
diagnosis of the ITM, the PCI data bus network, or
the electronic message inputs to and outputs from
the ITM. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the ITM, the PCI data bus net-
work, and the electronic message inputs to and out-
puts from the ITM requires the use of a DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) While pulling downward lightly on either rear
corner of the Intrusion Transceiver Module (ITM)
trim cover, insert a small thin-bladed screwdriver
through each of the service holes on the rear edge of
the trim cover to depress and release the two inte-
gral rear latch features of the module from the
mounting bracket above the headliner (Fig. 11).

control stalk to a detent position selects the Off,
Delay, or On rear wiper system operating modes.
Rotating the control ring on the control stalk to
either of two Wash positions actuates the momentary
rear washer system switch. The multi-function
switch provides hard wired outputs to the rear wiper
module and the washer pump/motor unit for all rear
wiper and washer system functions.
The rear wiper and washer system will only oper-
ate when the ignition switch is in the Accessory or
On positions, and the rear flip-up glass and tailgate
ajar switches are closed. Battery current is directed
from a fuse in the Junction Block (JB) to the multi-
function switch through a fused ignition switch out-
put (run-acc) circuit. The internal circuitry of the
right (wiper) control stalk of the multi-function
switch then provides battery current signals through
a rear wiper on driver circuit and a rear wiper inter-
mittent driver circuit to the rear wiper module and
to the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM uses
these rear wiper system inputs as a signal to lock the
rear flip-up glass and the tailgate to prevent the rear
flip-up glass or tailgate from being opened for as long
as the rear wiper is operating. The multi-function
switch circuitry also uses this battery current and a
ground circuit input to directly control the operation
and direction of the reversible electric washer pump/
motor unit.
A separate fuse in the JB provides battery current
to the electronic control circuitry of the rear wiper
module through a fused B(+) circuit. The rear wiper
module uses this fused B(+) input to park the rear
wiper blade off of the rear flip-up glass if the ignition
switch is turned to the Off position while the rear
wiper is operating, or if the ignition switch is turned
to the Off position before the rear wiper blade has
parked. However, if the ignition switch is turned to
the Off position while the rear wiper is operating,
then turned back On, the rear wiper switch must be
cycled to the Off position and back to the On or
Delay position before the rear wiper will operate
again. In addition, the rear wiper module receives an
input from the rear flip-up glass ajar switch on a
flip-up glass ajar switch sense circuit, which prevents
the rear wiper from operating when the flip-up glass
is not closed or fully latched.
The hard wired circuits and components of the rear
wiper and washer system may be diagnosed and
tested using conventional diagnostic tools and proce-
dures. Following are paragraphs that briefly describe
the operation of each of the rear wiper and washer
system operating modes.
CONTINUOUS WIPE MODE When the On posi-
tion of the control ring on the right (wiper) control
stalk of the multi-function switch is selected, the
multi-function switch circuitry directs a battery cur-rent signal to the rear wiper module through the
rear wiper on driver circuit, causing the rear wiper to
cycle continuously at a fixed speed.
INTERMITTENT WIPE MODE When the Delay
position of the control ring on the right (wiper) con-
trol stalk of the multi-function switch is selected, the
multi-function switch circuitry directs a battery cur-
rent signal to the rear wiper module through the
rear wiper intermittent driver circuit, causing the
rear wiper to cycle intermittently at a fixed delay
interval.
WASH MODE When the momentary Wash (after
On) position of the control ring on the right (wiper)
control stalk of the multi-function switch is selected,
the multi-function switch circuitry directs both bat-
tery current and ground to the washer pump/motor
unit, and a battery current signal to be provided to
the rear wiper module through the rear wiper on
driver circuit. This will cause the washer pump/mo-
tor unit to be energized and the rear wiper to cycle
continuously at a fixed speed for as long as the rear
Wash switch is held closed.
WIPE-AFTER-WASH MODE When the momentary
Wash (before Off) position of the control ring on the
right (wiper) control stalk of the multi-function
switch is selected, the multi-function switch circuitry
directs both battery current and ground to the
washer pump/motor unit, and a battery current sig-
nal to be provided to the rear wiper module through
the rear wiper on driver circuit. This will cause the
washer pump/motor unit to be energized and the rear
wiper to cycle continuously at a fixed speed for as
long as the rear Wash switch is held closed. When
the control ring is released to the Off position, the
washer pump/motor is de-energized, but the circuitry
within the rear wiper module will provide several
additional wipe cycles to complete the wipe-after-
wash mode cycle.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REAR WIPER &
WASHER SYSTEM
REAR WIPER SYSTEM
The diagnosis found here addresses an electrically
inoperative rear wiper system. If the rear wiper
motor operates, but the wiper does not move on the
rear flip-up glass, inspect the mechanical connection
between the rear wiper arm and the rear wiper
motor output shaft. If OK, replace the faulty rear
wiper module. If the wiper operates, but chatters,
lifts, or does not clear the glass, clean and inspect
the rear wiper system components as required. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/REAR WIPERS/WASHERS -
INSPECTION) and (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/

TIRES
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - TIRES
Tires are designed and engineered for each specific
vehicle. They provide the best overall performance
for normal operation. The ride and handling charac-
teristics match the vehicle's requirements. With
proper care they will give excellent reliability, trac-
tion, skid resistance, and tread life.
Driving habits have more effect on tire life than
any other factor. Careful drivers will obtain in most
cases, much greater mileage than severe use or care-
less drivers. A few of the driving habits which will
shorten the life of any tire are:
²Rapid acceleration
²Severe brake applications
²High speed driving
²Excessive speeds on turns
²Striking curbs and other obstacles
Radial-ply tires are more prone to irregular tread
wear. It is important to follow the tire rotation inter-
val,(Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS - STANDARD
PROCEDURE). This will help to achieve a greater
tread life.
TIRE IDENTIFICATION
Tire type, size, aspect ratio and speed rating are
encoded in the letters and numbers imprinted on the
side wall of the tire. Refer to the chart to decipher
the tire identification code (Fig. 11).
Performance tires have a speed rating letter after
the aspect ratio number.
LETTER SPEED RATING
S 180 km/h (112 mph)
T 190 km/h (118 mph)
U 200 km/h (124 mph)
H 210 km/h (130 mph)
V 240 km/h (149 mph)
W 270 km/h (168 mph)
Y 300 km/h (186 mph)
The speed rating is not always printed on the tire
sidewall.
TIRE CHAINS
Tire snow chains may be used oncertainmodels.
Refer to the Owner's Manual for more information.
DESCRIPTION - RADIAL-PLY TIRES
Radial-ply tires improve handling, tread life and
ride quality, and decrease rolling resistance.
Radial-ply tires must always be used in sets of
four. Under no circumstances should they be used on
the front only. They may be mixed with temporary
spare tires when necessary. A maximum speed of 50
MPH is recommended while a temporary spare is in
use.
Radial-ply tires have the same load-carrying capac-
ity as other types of tires of the same size. They also
use the same recommended inflation pressures.
The use of oversized tires, either in the front or
rear of the vehicle, can cause vehicle drive train fail-
ure. This could also cause inaccurate wheel speed
signals when the vehicle is equipped with Anti-Lock
Brakes.
The use of tires from different manufactures on the
same vehicle is NOT recommended. The proper tire
pressure should be maintained on all four tires.
DESCRIPTION - SPARE TIRE &TEMPORARY
The temporary spare tire is designed for emer-
gency use only. The original tire should be repaired
or replaced at the first opportunity, then reinstalled.
Do not exceed speeds of 50 M.P.H. when using the
temporary spare tire. Refer to Owner's Manual for
complete details.
