The CMTC may also be integrated with the Uni-
versal Transmitter. If so, your CMTC module will
have three buttons centered together between the
outer four buttons. Below the three buttons are cor-
responding dots to indicate which button you are
using.
The Compass Mini-Trip Computer includes the fol-
lowing display options:
²Compass and thermometer- provides the out-
side temperature and one of eight compass readings
to indicate the direction the vehicle is facing.
²Average fuel economy- shows the average
fuel economy since the last trip computer reset.
²Distance to empty- shows the estimated dis-
tance that can be travelled with the fuel remaining
in the fuel tank. This estimated distance is computed
using the average miles-per-gallon from the last 30
gallons of fuel used.
²Instant fuel economy- shows the present fuel
economy based upon the current vehicle distance and
fuel used information.
²Trip odometer- shows the distance travelled
since the last trip computer reset.
²Elapsed time- shows the accumulated igni-
tion-on time since the last trip computer reset.
²Blank screen- the CMTC compass/thermome-
ter/trip computer VFD is turned off.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional Univer-
sal Transmitter transceiver, the CMTC will also dis-
play messages and an icon indicating when the
Universal Transmitter is being trained, which of the
three transmitter buttons is transmitting, and when
the transceiver is cleared.
Data input for all CMTC functions, including VFD
dimming level, is received through PCI data bus
messages. The CMTC module uses its internal pro-
gramming and all of its data inputs to calculate and
display the requested data. If the data displayed is
incorrect, perform the self-diagnostic tests as
described in this group. If these tests prove inconclu-
sive, the use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the proper
Diagnostic Procedures manual are recommended for
further testing of the CMTC module and the PCI
data bus.
The CMTC module cannot be repaired, and is
available for service only as a unit. This unit
includes the push button switches and the plastic
module and display lens. If any of these components
is faulty or damaged, the complete CMTC module
must be replaced. The incandescent bulbs used for
CMTC push button back-lighting are available for
service replacement.
DESCRIPTION - COMPASS
While in the compass/thermometer mode, the com-
pass will display the direction in which the vehicle ispointed using the eight major compass headings
(Examples: north is N, northeast is NE). The self-cal-
ibrating compass unit requires no adjusting in nor-
mal use. The only calibration that may prove
necessary is to drive the vehicle in three complete
circles at 5 to 8 kilometers-per-hour (3 to 5 miles-per-
hour), on level ground, in not less than forty-eight
seconds. This will reorient the compass unit to its
vehicle.
The compass unit also will compensate for magne-
tism the body of the vehicle may acquire during nor-
mal use. However, avoid placing anything magnetic
directly on the roof of the vehicle. Magnetic mounts
for an antenna, a repair order hat, or a funeral pro-
cession flag can exceed the compensating ability of
the compass unit if placed on the roof panel. Mag-
netic bit drivers used on the fasteners that hold the
overhead console assembly to the roof header can
also affect compass operation. If the vehicle roof
should become magnetized, the demagnetizing and
calibration procedures found in this group may be
required to restore proper compass operation.
DESCRIPTION - THERMOMETER
The thermometer displays the outside ambient
temperature in whole degrees. The temperature dis-
play can be toggled from Fahrenheit to Celsius by
using the U.S./Metric button. The displayed temper-
ature is not an instant reading of conditions, but an
average temperature. It may take the thermometer
display several minutes to respond to a major tem-
perature change, such as driving out of a heated
garage into winter temperatures.
When the ignition switch is turned to the Off posi-
tion, the last displayed temperature reading stays in
the Body Control Module (BCM) unit memory. When
the ignition switch is turned to the On position
again, the CMTC will display the memory tempera-
ture for one minute; then update the display to the
current average temperature reading within five
minutes.
The thermometer function is supported by an
ambient temperature sensor. The sensor is mounted
outside the passenger compartment near the front
and center of the vehicle, and is hard wired to the
Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM sends tem-
perature status messages to the CMTC module over
the PCI data bus network. The ambient temperature
sensor is available as a separate service item, refer to
additional information later in this section.
OPERATION
The compass mini-trip computer operates when the
ignition is in the ON position. The VFD will display
the last display before ignition was turned OFF. The
four outer buttons operate:

is located on the back side of each vertical member of
the radiator support.
²Passenger Airbag- The passenger airbag is
located on the instrument panel, beneath the passen-
ger airbag door on the instrument panel above the
glove box on the passenger side of the vehicle.
²Passenger Knee Blocker- The passenger knee
blocker is a structural reinforcement that is integral
to and concealed within the glove box door.
²Seat Belt Tensioner- The seat belt tensioner
is integral to the driver side front seat belt retractor
unit on vehicles equipped with dual front airbags.
²Side Impact Airbag Control Module-Two
Side Impact Airbag Control Modules (SIACM) are
used on vehicles with the optional side curtain air-
bags, one left side and one right side. One SIACM is
located behind the B-pillar trim near the base of each
B-pillar.
²Side Curtain Airbag- In vehicles equipped
with this option, a side curtain airbag is located on
each inside roof side rail above the headliner, and
extends from the A-pillar to just beyond the C-pillar.
The ACM, both SIACMs, and the EMIC each con-
tain a central processing unit and programming that
allow them to communicate with each other using
the Programmable Communication Interface (PCI)
data bus network. This method of communication is
used by the ACM for control of the airbag indicator
on all models equipped with dual front airbags.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CON-
TROL MODULES/COMMUNICATION - DESCRIP-
TION).
Hard wired circuitry connects the supplemental
restraint system components to each other through
the electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired
circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which
are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by
many different methods. These circuits may be con-
nected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system,
and to the supplemental restraint system compo-
nents through the use of a combination of soldered
splices, splice block connectors, and many different
types of wire harness terminal connectors and insu-
lators. 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
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
OPERATION
ACTIVE RESTRAINTS The primary passenger
restraints in this or any other vehicle are the stan-
dard equipment factory-installed seat belts. Seat
belts are referred to as an active restraint because
the vehicle occupants are required to physically fas-ten and properly adjust these restraints in order to
benefit from them. See the owner's manual in the
vehicle glove box for more information on the fea-
tures, use and operation of all of the factory-installed
active restraints.
PASSIVE RESTRAINTS The passive restraints
system is referred to as a supplemental restraint sys-
tem because they were designed and are intended to
enhance the protection for the vehicle occupants of
the vehicleonlywhen used in conjunction with the
seat belts. They are referred to as passive systems
because the vehicle occupants are not required to do
anything to make them operate; however, the vehicle
occupants must be wearing their seat belts in order
to obtain the maximum safety benefit from the facto-
ry-installed supplemental restraint systems.
The supplemental restraint system electrical cir-
cuits are continuously monitored and controlled by a
microprocessor and software contained within the
Airbag Control Module (ACM) and, on vehicles
equipped with the side curtain airbags, both Side
Impact Airbag Control Modules (SIACM). An airbag
indicator in the ElectroMechanical Instrument Clus-
ter (EMIC) illuminates for about seven seconds as a
bulb test each time the ignition switch is turned to
the On or Start positions. Following the bulb test,
the airbag indicator is turned on or off by the ACM
to indicate the status of the supplemental restraint
system. If the airbag indicator comes on at any time
other than during the bulb test, it indicates that
there is a problem in the supplemental restraint sys-
tem electrical circuits. Such a problem may cause air-
bags not to deploy when required, or to deploy when
not required.
Deployment of the supplemental restraints
depends upon the angle and severity of an impact.
Deployment is not based upon vehicle speed; rather,
deployment is based upon the rate of deceleration as
measured by the forces of gravity (G force) upon the
impact sensors. When an impact is severe enough,
the microprocessor in the ACM or the SIACM signals
the inflator unit of the airbag module to deploy the
airbag. The seat belt tensioner is provided with a
deployment signal by the ACM in conjunction with
the driver airbag. During a frontal vehicle impact,
the knee blockers work in concert with properly fas-
tened and adjusted seat belts to restrain both the
driver and the front seat passenger in the proper
position for an airbag deployment. The knee blockers
also absorb and distribute the crash energy from the
driver and the front seat passenger to the structure
of the instrument panel. The seat belt tensioner
removes the slack from the driver side front seat belt
to provide further assurance that the driver is prop-
erly positioned and restrained for an airbag deploy-
ment.

RESTRAINTS (Continued)

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.

SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG
DESCRIPTION
Optional side curtain airbags are available for this
model when it is also equipped with dual front air-
bags. These airbags are passive, inflatable, Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS) components, and
vehicles with this equipment can be readily identified
by a molded identification trim button with the ªSRS
- AIRBAGº logo located on the headliner above each
B-pillar (Fig. 36). This system is designed to reduce
injuries to the vehicle occupants in the event of a
side impact collision.
Vehicles equipped with side curtain airbags have
two individually controlled curtain airbag units.
These airbag units are concealed and mounted above
the headliner where they are each secured to one of
the roof side rails (Fig. 37). Each folded airbag cush-
ion is contained within a long extruded plastic chan-
nel that extends along the roof rail from the A-pillar
at the front of the vehicle to just behind the C-pillar
at the rear of the vehicle. The channel is secured
with plastic push-in fasteners to the roof rail. A
tether extends down the A-pillar from the front of the
airbag cushion, where it is retained to the pillar with
plastic push-in routing clips and it is secured to the
base of the A-pillar near the belt line with a screw.
The hybrid-type inflator for each airbag is secured
to the roof rail at the rear of the airbag unit between
the C-pillar and the D-pillar, and is connected to the
airbag cushion by a long tubular manifold. The
bracket holding the inflator and three other brackets
holding the manifold are secured to the roof rail with

screws. A two-wire pigtail harness is routed forward
from the airbag inflator through a trough along the
top of the plastic airbag channel on the roof rail and
down the B-pillar, where it is retained by three rout-
ing clips. The pigtail harness is connected to a take
out and connector of the body wire harness on the
B-pillar, which connects to the respective right or left
Side Impact Airbag Control Module (SIACM) on the
sill panel at the base of the B-pillar.
The side curtain airbag unit cannot be adjusted or
repaired and must be replaced if deployed, faulty, or
in any way damaged. Once a side curtain airbag has
been deployed, the complete airbag unit, the head-
liner, the upper A, B, and C-pillar trim, and all other
visibly damaged components must be replaced.
OPERATION
Each side curtain airbag is deployed individually by
an electrical signal generated by the left or right Side
Impact Airbag Control Module (SIACM) to which it is
connected through left or right curtain airbag line 1 and
line 2 (or squib) circuits. The hybrid-type inflatorassembly for each airbag contains a small canister of
highly compressed helium gas. When the SIACM sends
the proper electrical signal to the airbag inflator, the
electrical energy creates enough heat to ignite chemical
pellets within the inflator. Once ignited, these chemicals
burn rapidly and produce the pressure necessary to rup-
ture a containment disk in the helium gas canister. The
inflator and helium gas canister are sealed and con-
nected to a tubular manifold so that all of the released
gas is directed into the folded curtain airbag cushion,
causing the cushion to inflate.
As the airbag cushion inflates it will drop down
from the roof rail between the edge of the headliner
and the side glass/body pillars to form a curtain-like
cushion to protect the vehicle occupants during a side
impact collision. The front tether keeps the front por-
tion of the bag taut, thus ensuring that the bag will
deploy in the proper position. Following the airbag
deployment, the airbag cushion quickly deflates by
venting the helium gas through the loose weave of
the cushion fabric, and the deflated cushion hangs
down loosely from the roof rail.

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
