2003 CHRYSLER CARAVAN wheel

passenger airbag cushion and the airbag cushion
supporting components.
The passenger airbag includes a magnesium hous-
ing within which the cushion and inflator are
mounted and sealed.
Following a passenger airbag deployment, the pas-
senger airbag and the instrument panel must be
replaced. The passenger airbag cannot be repaired,
and must be replaced if deployed or damaged in any
way.
OPERATION
The passenger airbag is equipped with two infla-
tors, each with three levels of pressure output. The
inflators seal the hole in the airbag cushion so it can
discharge the gas it produces directly into the cush-
ion when supplied with the proper electrical signal.
Following an airbag deployment, the airbag cushion
quickly deflates by venting this gas through the
cushion material towards the instrument panel.
The passenger airbag is secured with screws to the
instrument panel beneath the instrument panel top
pad and above the glove box opening. The instrument
panel top pad above the glove box opening conceals
the airbag door and a predetermined hinge line
beneath its decorative cover. Upon airbag deploy-
ment, the top pad will bend at the hinge line and the
door will fold back out of the way onto the top of the
instrument panel.
When the front airbag system is deployed, the fol-
lowingMUSTbe replaced:
²Complete Steering Column Assembly.
²Lower Steering Column Coupler.
²Steering Wheel.
²Clock Spring.
²Driver Airbag.
²Passenger Airbag.
²Upper Instrument Panel with Pad.
CARE OF UNDEPLOYED AIRBAGS
Airbags must be stored in their original special
container until used for service. At no time should a
source of electricity be permitted near the inflator on
the back of an airbag. When carrying or handling an
undeployed airbag, the trim side of the airbag should
be pointing away from the body to minimize possibil-
ity of injury if accidental deployment occurs. Do not
place undeployed airbag face down on a solid surface,
the airbag will propel into the air if accidental
deployment occurs.

SPEED CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
The speed control system is electronically con-
trolled and vacuum operated. The electronic control
is integrated into the Powertrain Control Module.
The controls are located on the steering wheel. The
ON/OFF, and SET buttons are located on the left side
of the airbag module. The RESUME/ACCEL, CAN-
CEL and COAST buttons are located on the right
side of the airbag module (Fig. 1).The system is designed to operate at speeds above
30 mph (48 km/h).
WARNING: THE USE OF SPEED CONTROL IS NOT
RECOMMENDED WHEN DRIVING CONDITIONS DO
NOT PERMIT MAINTAINING A CONSTANT SPEED,
SUCH AS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON ROADS THAT
ARE WINDING, ICY, SNOW COVERED, OR SLIP-
PERY.
OPERATION
OPERATION
When speed control is activated by depressing the
ON switch, the PCM allows a set speed to be stored
in RAM for speed control. To store a set speed,
depress and release the SET switch while the vehicle
is moving at a speed between 30 and 85 mph. In
order for the speed control to engage, the brakes can-
not be applied, nor can the gear selector be indicat-
ing the transmission is in Park or Neutral (ATX) or
1st/2nd gear (MTX). The speed control can be disen-
gaged manually by:
²Stepping on the brake pedal
²Depressing the OFF switch
²Depressing the CANCEL switch.
²Depressing the clutch pedal
²Operating in 1st or 2nd gear (autostick, if
equipped)

SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
There are two separate switch pods that operate
the speed control system and are located on the
steering wheel.
OPERATION
The speed control system has five separate resis-
tive switches that provide a single multiplexed
(MUX) voltage inputs to the PCM.The switch names
are: ON, OFF, SET, COAST, RESUME, ACCEL, TAP-
UP, COAST, and CANCEL. Based on conditions when
the buttons are pushed (and released), the five volt-
ages ranges provided to the PCM result in the follow-
ing functions: ON, OFF, SET, COAST, RESUME,
ACCEL, TAP-UP, TAP-DOWN, COAST, and CAN-
CEL. Refer to the Speed Control Section for more
information
Also the PCM receives an input from the brake
switch to sense whether the brake pedal has been
depressed. When the PCM receives the brake
depressed input, it turns off power to the speed con-
trol servo and disengages speed control. Also the
power to the servo is supplied through the brake
switch, which opens the circuit when the brake pedal
is depressed.
The individual switches cannot be repaired. If one
switch fails, the entire switch module must be
replaced.
REMOVAL
The speed control switches are mounted in the
steering wheel and wired through the clock spring
device under the airbag module.
WARNING: IF REMOVAL OF AIRBAG MODULE IS
NECESSARY, REFER TO THE RESTRAINT SYS-
TEMS SECTION FOR MORE INFORMATION.
(1) Remove the negative battery cable.
(2) Turn off ignition.
(3) Remove the air bag, refer to the restraint sec-
tion for more information.
(4) Remove the screw from bottom of the switch.
(5) Remove switch from steering wheel.
(6) Disconnect two-way electrical connector.
(7) Repeat for the other switch.
INSTALLATION

steering wheel and wired through the clock spring
device under the airbag module.WARNING: IF REMOVAL OF AIRBAG MODULE IS
NECESSARY, REFER TO THE RESTRAINT SYS-
TEMS SECTION FOR MORE INFORMATION.

VACUUM RESERVOIR
DESCRIPTION
The vacuum reservoir is located in the engine com-
partment. It is made of plastic.
OPERATION
The reservoir stores engine vacuum. Manifold vac-
uum is supplied from the brake booster check valve.
The speed control vacuum supply hose has a check
valve at the source (brake booster) to maintain the
highest available vacuum level in the servo, reservoir
and vacuum hoses. When engine vacuum drops, as in
climbing a grade while driving, the reservoir supplies
the vacuum needed to maintain proper speed control
operation. The vacuum reservoir cannot be repaired
and must be replaced if faulty.
REMOVAL
(1) Release hood latch and open hood.
(2) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(3) Disconnect the vacuum line to the battery tray/
vacuum reservoir.
(4) Remove battery tray/vacuum reservoir, refer to
the Battery section for more information.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install battery tray/vacuum reservoir, refer to
the Battery section for more information.
(2) Connect vacuum line that leads to the battery
tray/vacuum reservoir.
(3) Connect the negative battery cable.

FRONT WIPER ARMS
STANDARD PROCEDURE - FRONT WIPER ARM
ALIGNMENT
(1) Verify wiper blade element condition and wiper
arm spring tension. Run wipers in low speed mode
while applying water to the windshield. Observe the
wiper blade that is chattering or skipping across the
windshield. If the wiper element is not rolling over
when the wiper direction reverses, align the wiper
arm. The extension bar portion of the wiper arm
must be twisted in the proper direction to allow the
wiper element to roll over when the direction
reverses.
(2) Place two small adjustable wrenches placed 50
mm (2 in.) apart on the wiper arm extension rod.
(3) Twist the extension rod slightly in the opposite
direction that the element is laying on the wind-
shield while holding the wrench closest to the pivot
stationary.
