STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - HEADLAMP UNIT
ALIGNMENT
HEADLAMP UNIT ALIGNMENT PREPARATION
(1) Verify headlamp dimmer switch and high beam
indicator operation.
(2) Inspect and correct damaged or defective com-
ponents that could interfere with proper headlamp
alignment.
(3) Verify proper tire inflation.
(4) Clean headlamp lenses.
(5) Verify that luggage area is loaded as the vehi-
cle is routinely used.
(6) Vehicles equipped with automatic load leveling
suspension should be driven normally for approxi-
mately 5 km (3 miles) before attempting a proper
headlamp unit alignment.
(7) Fuel tank should be FULL. Add 2.94 kg (6.5
lbs.) of weight over the fuel tank for each estimated
gallon of missing fuel.
ALIGNMENT SCREEN PREPARATION
(1) Position vehicle on a level surface perpendicu-
lar to a flat wall 7.62 meters (25 ft.) away from front
of headlamp lens (Fig. 13).
(2) If necessary, tape a line on the floor 7.62
meters (25 ft.) away from and parallel to the wall.
(3) Rock vehicle side-to-side three times and allow
suspension to stabilize.
(4) Jounce front suspension three times by pushing
downward on front bumper and releasing.

(32.8 ft.) away from and parallel to the wall.
(3) Rock vehicle side-to-side three times and allow
suspension to stabilize.
(4) Jounce front suspension three times by pushing
downward on front bumper and releasing.
(5) Measure the distance from the center of head-
lamp lens to the floor. Transfer measurement to the
alignment screen (with tape). Use this line for
up/down adjustment reference.
HEADLAMP UNIT ADJUSTMENT
The low beam headlamp will project on the screen
upper edge of the beam (cut-off) at the horizontal
lamp cut-off line   20 mm (0.75 in.). The high beam
pattern should be correct when the low beams are
aligned properly (Fig. 15). To adjust headlamp align-
ment, rotate adjustment screws (Fig. 16) to achieve
the specified low beam cut-off location.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative

OPERATION
The memory switch has three momentary switch
buttons labeled Set, 1 and 2. When the memory set
switch is depressed, a resistance value is sent to the
Body Control Module via hard wired connections.
When the memory system is in ªsetº mode a chime
will be generated by the body control module.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the memory switch.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - MEMORY SWITCH
(1) Remove the memory set switch from the driv-
ers door panel (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
SEATS/MEMORY SET SWITCH - REMOVAL).
(2) Using an ohmmeter, check the continuity of the
memory select switch MUX circuit between the C2
wire harness connector for the body control module
and the wire harness connector for the memory
switch. There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, repair the open or shorted MUX circuit
as required.
(3) Using an ohmmeter, check the continuity of the
memory select switch return circuit between the C2
wire harness connector for the body control module
and the wire harness connector for the memory
switch. There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step
4. If not OK, repair the open or shorted return circuit
as required.
(4) Using an ohmmeter, test the resistances of the
memory switch at the pins in the switch connector
receptacle in each switch position. See the Memory
Switch Test Table. If OK, refer toDiagnosis and
Testing Memory Systemin this section. If not OK,
replace the faulty memory set switch.

PASSENGER SEAT SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a passenger side power seat
utilize a four-way power seat switch. This four-way
power seat switch features two knobs ganged
together on the outboard seat cushion side shield.
The switch is secured to the back of the seat cush-
ion side shield with two screws. However, the control
knobs for the seat switch unit must be removed
before the seat switch can be removed from the side
shield.
The power seat switch cannot be repaired. If one
switch is damaged or faulty, the entire power seat
switch unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
When a power seat switch control knob or knobs
are actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the power seat
track or recliner adjuster motor. The selected
adjuster motor operates to move the seat track or
recliner through its drive unit in the selected direc-
tion until the switch is released, or until the travel
limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is
moved in the opposite direction, the battery feed and
ground path to the motor are reversed through the
switch contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to
run in the opposite direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any
direction after the adjuster has reached its travel
limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a
self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from
overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting

SEAT AIRBAG
DESCRIPTION
The side impact airbag system Seat Airbags are
located in the outboard side of the front seat backs.
One in each front seat. The seat airbag inflator
assembly is within the airbag housing (Fig. 5). Each
airbag is mounted to the seat back frame. If deployed
or defective, the entire seat back assembly must be
replaced.
OPERATION
Only the Side Impact Airbag Control Module
(SIACM) can deploy the side airbags. When supplied
with the proper electrical signal, the seat airbag
inflator will produce a gas and discharge the bag
directly between the occupant and the side of the
vehicle, protecting the occupant. Upon deployment,

WARNINGS, BEFORE ATTEMPTING COMPONENT
DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE
PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCI-
DENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
NOTE: The following tests may not prove conclu-
sive in the diagnosis of this system. The most reli-
able, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the
Sentry Key Remote Entry System (SKREES)
involves the use of a DRBIIITscan tool. Refer to the
proper Body Diagnostic Procedures information.
The Sentry Key Remote Entry System (SKREES)
and the Programmable Communication Interface
(PCI) bus network should be diagnosed using a
DRBIIItscan tool. The DRBIIItwill allow confirma-
tion that the PCI bus is functional, that the Sentry
Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) is placing the
proper messages on the PCI bus, and that the Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM) is receiving the PCI
bus messages. Refer to the proper Body Diagnostic
Procedures information, and Wiring Diagrams for
complete circuit descriptions and diagrams.
(1) Check the fuses in the Integrated Power Mod-
ule (IPM). If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the
shorted circuit or component as required and replace
the faulty fuse.
(2) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
remote cable from the remote terminal. Unplug the
wire harness connector at the SKREEM. Check for
continuity between the ground circuit cavity of the
SKREEM wire harness connector and a good ground.
There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 3. If not
OK, repair the open circuit to ground as required.
(3) Connect the battery negative cable. Check for
battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of the
SKREEM wire harness connector. If OK, go to Step
4. If not OK, repair the open circuit to the fuse in the
IPM as required.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run/start) circuit cavity of the SKREEM wire
harness connector. If OK, use a DRBIIItscan tool
and the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures informa-
tion to complete the diagnosis of the SKREES. If not
OK, repair the open circuit to the fuse in the IPM as
required.
