GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN
CAUTION : To ensure the energy–absorbing action of
the steering column, it is important to use only the
specified screws, bolts, and nuts, tightened to the
specified torque.
In addition to the steering function, the steering column
provides safety and security.
The energy–absorbing column is designed to compress in
a front–end collision to lessen the chance of driver injury.
The ignition switch and the lock are mounted on the col-
umn, allowing the ignition and steering operations to be
locked to inhibit theft of the car.
The column levers trigger the turn signals, the headlight
beams, and the windshield washer and wipers.The tilt steering column uses telescopic function to allow
the steering wheel to tilt up and down in and out. This en-
ables the driver to adjust the steering wheel to a comfort-
able position.
Notice : Apply a thin coat of lithium grease to all friction
points when reassembling.
The column may be disassembled and reassembled easi-
ly.IGNITION KEY REMINDER
The ignition key reminder alerts the driver that the key is
still in the ignition when the driver attempts to exit the ve-
hicle.
An internal switch in the ignition lock cylinder supplies bat-
tery voltage to the reminder chime module when all of the
following conditions are true:
S The key is in the ignition switch.
S The ignition is OFF.
S The driver’s door is open.
For information on removal and installation of the reminder
chime module, refer to Section 9E, Instrumentation/Driver
Information.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
ON–VEHICLE SERVICE
SERVICE PRECAUTION
CAUTION : The sensing and diagnostic mod-
ule(SDM) can maintain sufficient voltage to
deploy the airbags and pretensioners for 1 min-
ute after the ignition is OFF and the fuse has been
removed. If the airbags and pretensioners are not
disconnected, do not begin service until one
minute has passed after disconnecting power to
SDM. If the airbags are disconnected, service can
be excuted immediately without waiting for one–
minute time period to expire. Failure to tempo-
rarily disable the SIR during service can result in
unexpected deployment, personal injury and un-
necessary SIR repairs.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
SUPPLEMENTAL INFLATABLE
RESTRAINTS(SIR)
The supplemental inflatable restraints(SIR) is a safety de-
vice used in conjunction with the seat belt. The air bag
does not replace the fuction of the seatbelt. The driver and
the passengers must always fasten their seat belts and
adjust them for a proper fit.
The SIR is designed to protect the driver and the front seat
passenger in the event of a significant frontal impact to the
vehicle. The airbags deploy if the force is applied from a
direction within 30 degrees of the vehicle’s center line.
The SIR system consists of a
S Driver airbag module
S Driver side airbag module
S Passenger airbag module
S Passenger side airbag module
S Driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt pretension-
ers(and load limiter for some model).
S Sensing and diagnostic module(SDM)
S Clock spring.
S Wire harness and connectors.
S AIRBAG indicator on the instrument cluster.
S Side airbag sensor
AIRBAG MODULES
Driver Airbag Module
CAUTION : Tempering with driver airbag module
creates the risk of an injury from unexpected deploy-
ments. Therefore, the driver airbag module should
never be disassembled.
The driver airbag module is under the center pad of the
steering wheel. The driver airbag module contained an ig-
niter charge and a gas generator to inflate the folded air-
bag.The airbag connector contains a shorting bar, which
makes the circuit shorted when the connector is discon-
nected. The shorting bar prevents current from travelling
through the driver airbag module during servicing. The
shorting bar is disengaged when the connector is con-
nected.
Passenger Airbag Module
CAUTION : Tempering with passenger airbag module
creates the risk of an injury from unexpected deply-
ment. Therefore, the passenger airbag module
should never be disassembled. The passenger airbag
module is on the passenger part of the instrument
panel. The passenger airbag module contains an ig-
niter charge and a gas generator to inflate the folded
airbag .
The passenger airbag module is on the passenger part of
the instrument panel. The passenger airbag module con-
tains an igniter charge and a gas generator to inflate the
folded airbag .
The airbag connector contains a shorting bar, which
makes the circuit shorted when the connector is discon-
nected. The shorting bar prevents current from travelling
through the passenger airbag module during servicing.
The shorting bar is disengaged when the connector is con-
nected.
Side Airbag Module
CAUTION : Tempering with side airbag module
creates the risk of an injury from unexpected deploy-
ments. Therefore, the driver airbag module should
never be disassembled.
The side airbag modules are in the driver’s and passen-
ger’s seats. The side airbag module contains an igniter
charge and a gas generator to inflate the folded airbag .
The airbag connector contains a shorting bar, which
makes the circuit shorted when the connector is discon-
nected. The shorting bar prevents current from travelling
through the side airbag module during servicing. The
shorting bar is disengaged when the connector is con-
nected.

DAEWOO V–121 BL4
FRONT SEAT BELT
PRETENSIONERS
CAUTION : Tempering with seat belt pretensioner
creates the risk of an injury from unexpected deploy-
ment. Therefore, the driver airbag module should
never be disassembled.
The seat belt pretensioners(with load limiter for some ve-
hicles) are assembled with each front seat belt retractors
to retract the seat belt webbing when accounted frontal
collision. The seat belt pretensioners are controlled by
sensing and diagnostic module(SDM). The seat belt pre-
tensioner contains an igniter charge and a gas generator
to pull the seat belt webbing. The seat belt pretensioner
must be replaced after an accident that causes its activa-
tion.
The seat belt pretensioner also contains a shorting bar to
prevent current from travelling through the seat belt pre-
tensioner during servicing. The shorting bar is disengaged
when the connector is connected.
SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC
MODULE (SDM)
CAUTION : During the service procedures, be careful
when handling the SDM. Never shake or jar the SDM.
Never apply power to SIR when the SDM is not rigidly
attached to the vehicle. All SDM mounting bolts and
grounding nuts must be fully tightened. Failure to fol-
low these precautions could cause deployment and
result in personal injury.
The SDM is located on the floor beneath the floor console
assembly. The SDM performs the following functions :
S Monitors the supplemental inflatable restraints(SIR)
electrical components and sets a diagnostic trouble
code(DTC) when malfunction is detected.
S Records any faults that are discovered.
S Displays SIR diagnostic trouble codes and system
status information when connected to a scan tool.
S Illuminates the airbag indicator to alert the driver to
any fault.S Provides a reserve power source to deploy the air-
bags and pretensioners if an accident has disabled
the normal power source.
S Monitors vehicle velocity changes to detect frontal
impacts, which are severe enough to warrant de-
ployment.
S Causes current to flow through the airbag modules
and pretensioner to cause deployment if a frontal
impact of sufficient force is detected.
The SDM contains no user–serviceable parts.
AIRBAG WARNING LAMP
The instrument cluster contains an airbag warning indica-
tor and sensing and diagnostic module(SDM). The SDM
performs a turn–on test when the ignition is turned ON.
The SDM flashes the airbag indicator seven times by sup-
plying an intermittent ground to the indicator lamp circuit.
After flashing seven times, the airbag indicator will turn off
if no more malfunctions have been detected.
If the SDM has detected malfunctions in the internal and
external circuits, which could potentially affect the opera-
tion of the supplemental inflatable restraints(SIR), the air-
bag indicator stays on. Some malfunctions could result in
non–deployment when necessary or deployment under
conditions which would not normally result in deployment.
When the SDM is not properly attached to its connector,
the airbag circuit is shorted to ground because there is a
shorting bar in the SDM electrical connector. The shorting
bar is disengaged when proper connection is made, but if
a poor connection exists the SDM connector supplied a
ground to the airbag indicator independently of the SDM,
and the airbag indicator turns on.
CLOCK SPRING
CAUTION : Disassembling the clock spring can cause
injury or cause the clock spring to malfunction.
CAUTION : Over–rotating the clock spring (over 3 and
one quarter turns to one direction) without the steer-
ing wheel in position could damage the clock spring
and result in an inoperative driver airbag.
There is a coil assembly in the steering which is referred
to as a clock spring because of its internal resemblance to
the type of spring used in a mechanical clock. The coil

8B – 102ISUPPLEMENTAL INFLATABLE RESTRAINTS (SIR)
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
spring should never be disassembled, and there is no
timekeeping function. The clock spring contains two or
three current–carrying coils. One of the current–carrying
coils maintains continuous contact within the driver de-
ployment loop while the steering wheel is rotated. The
clock spring also contains coils that maintain continuous
contact for horn and remote audio control switch circuit.
Turning the steering wheel in one direction tightens the
coil, and turning the steering wheel in the opposite direc-
tion loosens the coil. Do not turn the clock spring when the
steering wheel is not attached. Refer to ”Clock Spring” in
this section for proper installation of the clock spring.
The clock spring also includes the wiring and the connec-
tors for the horn circuit and the driver airbag circuit. A yel-
low two–way connector on the lower steering column is at-
tached to the clock spring wiring. The yellow connector to
the airbag contains a shorting bar which connects the driv-
er high circuit to driver low circuit when the connector is
disconnected.
The shorting bar prevents current from travelling through
the driver airbag module during servicing. The shorting bar
is disengaged when the clock spring connector is con-
nected.WIRING HARNESS CONNECTORS
If the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) electrical con-
nector is not attached properly, a built in shorting bar will
connect the wire from airbag warning lamp with the SDM
ground wire. This turns on the airbag indicator . To prevent
deployment during servicing, additional shorting bars are
located in following locations :
S The clock spring electrical connector at the lower
steering column.
S The passenger airbag module.
S The driver airbag module.
S The seat belt pretensioners.
The shorting bar is only a backup safety device. Always
disable the supplemental inflatable restraints(SIR) before
beginning any service procedure.

9B – 46ILITHING SYSTEMS
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
HEADLAMPS–ON REMINDER CHIME
When the headlamp switch is in the headlamps–on or
parking lamps–on position, voltage is applied to the chime
module. When the ignition is in ON, ACC or START, volt-
age is applied through the fuse block to the module. These
two voltages are sensed, and the chime module is not
sounded.
When the ignition is not in ON, ACC or START, the module
loses voltage. The chime module senses change. If the
voltage is still available, it is applied to sound the chime.
The chime can be turned off by turning the headlamp
switch off. The module no longer senses voltage from the
headlamp switch, so the chime module does not sound.
HEADLAMPS
The headlamps are controlled by the multifunction lever
located on the left side of the steering column. They will
come on with the ignition switch in any position. Turning
the headlamp switch to the first position turns on the park-
ing lamps, the license plate lamps and the instrument pan-
el illumination. Turning the switch to the second position
turns on all of the previous lamps and the headlamps.
Turning the switch to the OFF position turns off all the
lamps.
Headlamp high beams and low beams are also controlled
by this lever. When the headlamps are on, pushing the le-
ver away from the driver until the switch clicks changes the
lamp from low beam to high beam. An indicator lamp on
the instrument cluster assembly will come on when the
high beam headlamps are on. To return the headlamps to
low beam, pull the lever toward the driver.
The headlamps must be aimed for proper illumination of
the road. Headlamp aim should be checked whenever a
new headlamp assembly is installed, or whenever service
repairs to the front end area may have disturbed the head-
lamp assembly or its mountings.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
The Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) will come on when:
S The ignition is ON.
S The light is OFF.
S The parking brake is released.
When the exterior lights are on, the DRL will turn off. To
turn the DRL off when idling, apply the parking brake.
PARKING AND TURN SIGNAL LAMPS
The parking lamps can be turned on by turning the lighting
switch to the first position. The parking lamps can be
turned off by turning the switch to the OFF position.When the turn signals are activated, the front and rear turn
signal lamps flash to signal a turn. The turn signals work
only when the ignition is ON.
The turn signals are controlled by the light switch on the
left side of the steering column. Moving the lever all the
way up or down (past the detent) will turn on the front and
rear turn signals. When the turn is completed, the lever will
return to horizontal and the turn signals will stop flashing.
For changing lanes, or for shallow turns in which the steer-
ing wheel does not turn far enough to cancel the signal,
move the signal lever only to the first detent and hold it
there. When the lever is released, it will return to horizontal
and the turn signals will cancel.
FOG LAMPS
The fog lamp switch is on the instrument panel to the right
of the steering column. To use the fog lamps, first turn on
the headlamps or the parking lamps. Then push the fog
lamp switch. The indicator light in the switch will illuminate
to indicate that the fog lamps are on. Push the switch again
to turn off the fog lamps. The indicator light will then go off.
The fog lamps should not be used as a substitute for the
headlamps.
The fog lamps must be aimed for proper illumination of the
road. Fog lamp aim should be checked when a new bulb
is installed or if service or repairs in the front end area may
have disturbed the fog lamp mountings.
REAR COMBINATION LAMPS
The taillamps, stoplamps, turn signal lamps and backup
lamp are one assembly.
Turning on either the headlamps or the parking lamps will
also turn on the taillamps. When the brake pedal is
pushed, the taillamps will glow brighter to serve as sto-
plamps.
The center high–mounted stoplamp is located in the rear
window and will come on when the brake pedal is pressed.
LICENSE PLATE LAMP
The license plate lamps will come on when the headlamps
or the parking lamps are on. The license plate lamps are
mounted above the license plate.
INTERIOR COURTESY LAMP
The courtesy lamp is located on the headliner just behind
the front seats. The lamp switch has three positions. If the
switch is left in the center position, the lamp will go on
whenever a door is opened and go off when it is closed.
In the ON position, the lamp will stay on until it is turned off.
In the OFF position, the lamp will not come on, even when
a door is opened.
LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT LAMP
The luggage compartment lamp is located under the deck
lid sill plate on the notchback. The lamp is located on the
left–side wheelhouse trim panel on the hatchback. It will
come on whenever the luggage compartment is opened.
