SEAT BELT TENSIONER
DESCRIPTION
The seat belt system incorporates Seat Belt Ten-
sioners. The tensioner is designed to hold the occu-
pant in their respective seat by retracting the seat
belt up to four inches. They are integral to the front
seat belt buckles and cannot be serviced. If found
defective they must be replaced. After an airbag
deployment, the tensioner must be replaced.
Seat Belt Tensioners supplement the dual front air-
bag system. The seat belt tensioners are integral to
the front seat belt buckles, which are secured to the
seat cushion frame on the inboard side. The seat belt
tensioners are controlled by the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) and are connected to the vehicle
electrical system through the body wire harness.
The seat belt tensioners cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, the entire front seat belt buckle
must be replaced. The seat belt tensioners are not
intended for reuse and must be replaced following
any front airbag deployment.
OPERATION
WARNING: When the front airbag is deployed, the
tensioner will have deployed also and should be
replaced. Failure to do so could result in occupant
personal injury or death.
The seat belt tensioners are deployed by a signal
generated by the Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) through the driver or passenger seat belt ten-
sioner line 1 and line 2 (or squib) circuits. When the
ORC sends the proper electrical signal to the tension-
ers, the electrical energy generates enough heat to
initiate a small pyrotechnic gas generator.
Removing excess slack from the front seat belts not
only keeps the occupants properly positioned for an
airbag deployment following a frontal impact of the
vehicle, but also helps to reduce injuries that the
occupants of the front seat might experience in these
situations as a result of a harmful contact with the
steering wheel, steering column, instrument panel
and/or windshield.
The ORC monitors the condition of the seat belt
tensioners through circuit resistance, and will illumi-
nate the airbag indicator in the ElectroMechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC) and store a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that is detected.
For proper diagnosis of the seat belt tensioners, use a
scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic information.
SEAT WEIGHT BLADDER &
PRESSURE SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification
System (OCS) have a seat weight bladder and pres-
sure sensor unit (Fig. 54) that is integral to the pas-
senger front seat cushion. The bladder is sandwiched
between the seat cushion pan and seat cushion foam.
The bladder consists of two rectangular sheets of
an elastomeric material and a molded plastic elbow
fitting. The two sheets of material are sealed
together around their perimeter and heat staked to
each other at numerous regular points within their
field. The elbow fitting is sealed to a small round
hole in the lower surface of the bladder and is
pointed downward where it passes through a clear-
ance hole in the insulator pad and extends to just
below the seat cushion. The bladder is then filled
with a silicone fluid to become a pliable, quilted
membrane.
Under the seat cushion a short tube is securely
clamped at one end to the bladder nipple, and at the
other end to a nipple on the electronic pressure sen-
sor. The sensor housing features an integral mount
that snaps over a tab integral to the stamped steel
Occupant Classification Module (OCM) mounting
bracket welded to the underside of the passenger
front seat cushion frame.

DESCRIPTION - CONNECTOR, GROUND AND
SPLICE INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some
connectors are serviced only with a harness. A typ-
ical example might be the Supplemental Restraint
System connectors. Always check parts availability
before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as
follows:
²In-line connectors located in the engine compart-
ment are C100 series numbers
²In-line connectors located in the Instrument
Panel area are C200 series numbers.
²In-line connectors located in the body are C300
series numbers.
²Jumper harness connectors are C400 series
numbers.
²Grounds and ground connectors are identified
with a ªGº and follow the same series numbering as
the in-line connectors.
²Splices are identified with an ªSº and follow the
same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
²Component connectors are identified by the com-
ponent name instead of a number. Multiple connec-
tors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS
Section 8W-91 contains connector/ground/splice
location illustrations. The illustrations contain the
connector name (or number)/ground number/splice
number and component identification. Connector/
ground/splice location charts in section 8W-91 refer-
ence the figure numbers of the illustrations.
The abbreviation T/O is used in the component
location section to indicate a point in which the wir-
ing harness branches out to a component. The abbre-
viation N/S means Not Shown in the illustrations
WARNING
WARNINGS - GENERAL
WARNINGSprovide information to prevent per-
sonal injury and vehicle damage. Below is a list of
general warnings that should be followed any time a
vehicle is being serviced.
WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES FOR
EYE PROTECTION.
WARNING: USE SAFETY STANDS ANYTIME A PRO-
CEDURE REQUIRES BEING UNDER A VEHICLE.WARNING: BE SURE THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH
ALWAYS IS IN THE OFF POSITION, UNLESS THE
PROCEDURE REQUIRES IT TO BE ON.
WARNING: SET THE PARKING BRAKE WHEN
WORKING ON ANY VEHICLE. AN AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE IN PARK. A MANUAL
TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE IN NEUTRAL.
WARNING: OPERATE THE ENGINE ONLY IN A
WELL-VENTILATED AREA.
WARNING: KEEP AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS
WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, ESPECIALLY THE
FAN AND BELTS.
WARNING: TO PREVENT SERIOUS BURNS, AVOID
CONTACT WITH HOT PARTS SUCH AS THE RADIA-
TOR, EXHAUST MANIFOLD(S), TAIL PIPE, CATA-
LYTIC CONVERTER AND MUFFLER.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FLAME OR SPARKS
NEAR THE BATTERY. GASES ARE ALWAYS
PRESENT IN AND AROUND THE BATTERY.
WARNING: ALWAYS REMOVE RINGS, WATCHES,
LOOSE HANGING JEWELRY AND AVOID LOOSE
CLOTHING.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit
there are several common tools necessary. These tools
are listed and explained below.
²Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to con-
nect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: NEVER USE A JUMPER WIRE ACROSS
A LOAD, SUCH AS A MOTOR, CONNECTED
BETWEEN A BATTERY FEED AND GROUND.
²Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a cir-
cuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the
circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used
in today's vehicles are Solid State. When checking
voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 -
megohm or greater impedance rating.
