tery (+) source and the other to a good ground (-).
(4) Connect the Negative (-) jumper probe to one of
the motor connector terminals.
(5) Momentarily touch the Positive (+) jumper
probe to the other motor connector terminal.
When positive probe is connected the motor should
rotate in one direction to either move window up or
down. If window is all the way up or down the motor
will grunt and the inner door panel will flex when
actuated in that one direction.
(6) Reverse jumper probes at the motor connector
terminals and window should now move in opposite
direction. If window does not move or grunt, replace
the motor.
If window moved completely up or down, reverse
the jumper probes and cycle window to the opposite

The power window master switch has a Auto-Down
feature on both front windows. The switch is
equipped with two detent positions when actuating
the power window OPEN. The first detent position
allows the window to roll down and stop when the
switch is released. The second detent position actu-
ates an integral express roll down relay that rolls the
window down after the switch is released. When the
express down circuit senses stall current (window
has reached end of down travel), the switch will turn
current off to the motor. The AUTO feature can be
cancelled by actuating the switch UP or DOWN while
window is in motion. If the electronic circuit in the
switch fails to detect a stall current, the auto down
circuit will time out within 9 to 14 seconds.

8O - 2 RESTRAINTSKJ

An occupant restraint system is standard factory-
installed safety equipment on this model. Available
occupant restraints for this model include both active
and passive types. Active restraints are those which
require the vehicle occupants to take some action to
employ, such as fastening a seat belt; while passive
restraints require no action by the vehicle occupants
to be employed (Fig. 1).
ACTIVE RESTRAINTS The active restraints for
this model include:
²Front Seat Belts- Both front seating positions
are equipped with three-point seat belt systems
employing a lower B-pillar mounted inertia latch-
type retractor, height-adjustable upper B-pillar
mounted turning loops, a traveling lower seat belt
anchor secured to the outboard side of the seat
frame, and a traveling end-release seat belt buckle
secured to the inboard side of the seat frame. Both
front seat belt buckles include an integral Hall-effect
seat belt switch that detects whether its respective
seat belt has been fastened.
²Rear Seat Belts- All three rear seating posi-
tions are equipped with three-point seat belt sys-
tems. The outboard seating position belts employ a
lower C-pillar mounted inertia latch-type retractor, a
fixed position upper C-pillar mounted turning loop,
and a fixed lower seat belt anchor secured to the
floor panel. The rear seat center seating position belt
has an inertia latch-type retractor that is integral to
the rear seat back panel, and a cable from the seat
back latch locks the center belt retractor spool unless
the seat back is fully latched. The rear seat center
seating position belt lower anchor is secured to the
floor panel. All three rear seat belts have fixed end-
release seat belt buckles secured to the floor panel, a
single buckle unit on the right side and a double
buckle unit on the left side.
²Child Seat Tether Anchors- All vehicles are
equipped with three, fixed-position, child seat tether
anchors. Two anchors are integral to the back of the
right rear seat back panel, and one is integral to the
left rear seat back panel.
PASSIVE RESTRAINTS The passive restraints
available for this model include the following:
²Dual Front Airbags- Multistage driver and
front passenger airbags are available for this model.
This airbag system is a passive, inflatable, Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS) and vehicles with
this equipment can be readily identified by the ªSRS
- AIRBAGº logo molded into the driver airbag trim
cover in the center of the steering wheel and also
into the passenger airbag door on the instrument
panel above the glove box (Fig. 2). Vehicles with the
airbag system can also be identified by the airbag
indicator, which will illuminate in the instrument
cluster for about seven seconds as a bulb test eachtime the ignition switch is turned to the On position.
A pyrotechnic-type seat belt tensioner is integral to
the driver side front seat belt retractor mounted on
the lower B-pillar of all models equipped with dual
front airbags.
²Side Curtain Airbags- Optional side curtain
airbags are available for this model when it is also
equipped with dual front airbags. This airbag system
is a passive, inflatable, Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem (SRS) and vehicles with this equipment can be
readily identified by a molded identification trim but-
ton with the ªSRS - AIRBAGº logo located on the
headliner above each B-pillar (Fig. 2).
The supplemental restraint system includes the
following major components, which are described in
further detail elsewhere in this service information:
²Airbag Control Module- The Airbag Control
Module (ACM) is also sometimes referred to as the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). The ACM is
located on a mount on the floor panel transmission
tunnel, below the center of the instrument panel.
²Airbag Indicator- The airbag indicator is inte-
gral to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC), which is located on the instrument panel in
front of the driver.
²Clockspring- The clockspring is located near
the top of the steering column, directly beneath the
steering wheel.
²Driver Airbag- The driver airbag is located in
the center of the steering wheel, beneath the driver
airbag trim cover.
²Driver Knee Blocker- The driver knee blocker
is a structural unit secured to the back side of and
integral to the instrument panel steering column
opening cover.
²Front Impact Sensor- Two front impact sen-
sors are used on vehicles equipped with dual front
airbags, one left side and one right side. One sensor

KJRESTRAINTS 8O - 3
RESTRAINTS (Continued)

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.
8O - 4 RESTRAINTSKJ
RESTRAINTS (Continued)

Typically, the vehicle occupants recall more about
the events preceding and following a collision than
they have of an airbag deployment itself. This is
because the airbag deployment and deflation occur so
rapidly. In a typical 48 kilometer-per-hour (30 mile-
per-hour) barrier impact, from the moment of impact
until the airbags are fully inflated takes about 40
milliseconds. Within one to two seconds from the
moment of impact, the airbags are almost entirely
deflated. The times cited for these events are approx-
imations, which apply only to a barrier impact at the
given speed. Actual times will vary somewhat,
depending upon the vehicle speed, impact angle,
severity of the impact, and the type of collision.
When the ACM monitors a problem in any of the
dual front airbag system circuits or components,
including the seat belt tensioner, it stores a fault
code or Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in its memory
circuit and sends an electronic message to the EMIC
to turn on the airbag indicator. When the SIACM
monitors a problem in any of the side curtain airbag
system circuits or component, it stores a fault code or
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in its memory circuit
and sends an electronic message to the ACM, and the
ACM sends an electronic message to the EMIC to
turn on the airbag indicator. Proper testing of the
airbag system components, the Programmable Com-
munication Interface (PCI) data bus, the data bus
message inputs to and outputs from the EMIC, the
SIACM, or the ACM, as well as the retrieval or era-
sure of a DTC from the ACM, SIACM, or EMIC
requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of all of the factory-installed passive restraints.
