travel is accomplished by hall effect sensors, drive
motor speed and pinch sensors (tape switches).
Anytime the liftgate is opened or closed using the
power liftgate system the power liftgate control mod-
ule learns from the cycle. If a replacement power lift-
gate component is installed or a liftgate adjustment
is made, the module will relearn the effort and/or
time required to open or close the liftgate. This learn
cycle can be performed with a DRB IIIt, or equiva-
lent scan tool, or with a complete cycle of the liftgate,
using any one of the command switches. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER DOORS - STANDARD PRO-
CEDURE) for detailed instructions.
The power liftgate system is designed with a num-
ber of system inhibitors. These inhibitors are neces-
sary for safety and / or feasibility of the power
liftgate system. The power liftgate system inhibitors
are:
²The Power Liftgate may not operate in extreme
temperatures. These extreme temperatures will be
approximately less than -12É F (-24.4É C) or greater
than 143É F (61.6É C). A chime/thermister assembly
in the rear light bar assembly monitors the outside
temperature.
²The vehicle transmission must be in Park or
Neutral for the power liftgate to start a cycle.
²If multiple obstacles are detected during the
same power open or close cycle, the liftgate goes into
manual operation.
²If severe problems occur, Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC) are stored in the power liftgate control
module.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM
The power liftgate system contains many compo-
nents and modules. In order to obtain conclusive
testing the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network and all of the electronic mod-
ules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from
the power liftgate system must be checked.
The power liftgate system can be diagnosed with
an appropriate scan tool, such as the DRB IIItor
equivalent. The DRB IIItcan be used to observe var-
ious switch statuses throughout the power liftgate
system to help diagnose an inoperative switch or
component. The DRB IIItcan also be used to actuate
various components throughout the power liftgate
system to help diagnose an inoperative component.
Before any testing of the power liftgate system is
attempted, the battery should be fully charged, all
built-in power liftgate system inhibitors read and
understood, and all wire harness and ground connec-
tions inspected around the affected areas on the vehi-
cle.
The following are quick reference diagnostic tables
to help when diagnosing and testing the power lift-
gate system.

²Due to the high pressure created in the passen-
ger compartment with the blower motor on high, the
power sliding door may not complete a power close
cycle unless a window is cracked, allowing the pres-
sure to escape. This situation will only be experi-
enced on some vehicles, or vehicles with brand new
side door weather seals installed.
²The fuel tank filler door must be in the closed
position. Due to the sliding door interference with
the open fuel tank filler door, a mechanical linkage
prevents the side door from opening and striking the
fuel door. Refer to the Body section of this manual for
detailed information on the fuel door lockout feature.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
POWER SLIDING DOOR SYSTEM
The power sliding door system contains many com-
ponents and modules. In order to obtain conclusive
testing, the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network and all of the electronic mod-
ules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from
the power sliding door system must be checked.
The power sliding door system was designed to be
diagnosed with an appropriate diagnostic scan tool,
such as the DRB IIIt. The most reliable, efficient,
and accurate means to diagnose the power sliding
door system requires the use of a DRB IIItscan tool
and the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures manual.
The DRB IIItcan be used to observe various switch
statuses throughout the power sliding door system to
help the technician diagnose a defective switch or
component. The DRB IIItcan also be used to actuate
various components throughout the power sliding
door system to help the technician diagnose a defec-
tive component.
Before any testing of the power sliding door system
is attempted, the battery should be fully charged, all
built-in power sliding door system inhibitors read
and understood (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
DOORS - OPERATION) and all wire harness and
ground connections inspected around the affected
areas on the vehicle.

driver and the front seat passenger to the structure
of the instrument panel (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
RESTRAINTS/KNEE BLOCKER AIRBAG -
DESCRIPTION). The seat belt tensioners remove the
slack from the front seat belts to provide further
assurance that the driver and front seat passenger
are properly positioned and restrained for an airbag
deployment.
When the ORC monitors a problem in any of the
dual front airbag system circuits or components,
including the seat belt tensioners, it stores a Diag-
nostic Trouble Code (DTC) in its memory and sends
an electronic message to the EMIC to turn on the
airbag indicator. Proper testing of the supplemental
restraint system components, the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus, the elec-
tronic message inputs to and outputs from the EMIC
or the ORC, as well as the retrieval or erasure of a
DTC from the ORC or the EMIC requires the use of
a scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation.
OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
The Occupant Classification System (OCS) auto-
matically suppresses or enables passenger airbag and
seat belt tensioner operation based upon whether or
not the passenger side front seat is occupied and, if
the seat is occupied, classifies the size of the occu-
pant and whether the seat is occupied by a child
seat.
The OCS has an Occupant Classification Module
(OCM) that monitors inputs from the seat weight
bladder pressure sensor under the passenger side
front seat cushion and from the belt tension sensor
on the passenger side front seat belt lower anchor.
Based upon those inputs the microprocessor within
the OCM classifies the occupant of the passenger
side front seat. The OCM then sends electronic occu-
pant classification messages to the ORC. The micro-
processor and programming of the ORC uses these
occupant classification messages to determine
whether to enable or disable the deployment circuits
for the passenger airbag and seat belt tensioner.
The OCS electrical circuits and components are
continuously monitored by the OCM, and the OCM is
continuously monitored by the ORC. A passenger air-
bag ON/OFF indicator is located in the instrument
panel center stack area. This indicator receives bat-
tery current whenever the ignition switch is in the
ON or START positions, and illuminates only when
the ORC pulls the indicator control circuit to ground.
The indicator 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 indicator is turned ON or OFF by the ORC based
upon the electronic occupant classification messagesreceived from the OCM. This indicator is illuminated
whenever the passenger airbag and seat belt ten-
sioner operation has been suppressed, and is turned
OFF whenever they are enabled or when the passen-
ger seat is classified as empty.
When the OCM monitors a problem in any of the
OCS circuits or components, it stores a fault code or
DTC in its memory circuit and sends an electronic
message to the ORC. The ORC then sends an elec-
tronic message to the EMIC to turn ON the airbag
indicator. If for any reason the OCM is unable to
classify the occupant it sends an electronic message
to the ORC, and the ORC suppresses passenger air-
bag and seat belt tensioner operation. Proper testing
of the OCS components, the Programmable Commu-
nications Interface (PCI) data bus, the electronic
message inputs to and outputs from the OCM, the
EMIC or the ORC, as well as the retrieval or erasure
of a DTC's, requires the use of a scan tool. Refer to
the appropriate diagnostic information.
WARNING
WARNINGS
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable before beginning any airbag system com-
ponent diagnosis, testing, removal, or installa-
tion procedures. Allow system capacitor to
discharge for two minutes before beginning any
component testing or service. This will disable
the airbag system. Failure to disconnect the
battery negative cable may result in accidental
airbag deployment, personal injury, or death.
Do not place an intact undeployed airbag
face down on a solid surface. The airbag will
propel into the air if accidentally deployed and
may result in personal injury or death.
When carrying or handling an undeployed
airbag, the trim side (face) of the airbag should
be pointing towards the body to minimize pos-
sibility of injury if accidental deployment
occurs. Failure to do this may result in per-
sonal injury or death.
Replace airbag system components with
Mopartreplacement parts. Substitute parts
may appear interchangeable, but internal dif-
ferences may result in inferior occupant protec-
tion. Failure to do so may result in occupant
personal injury or death.
Wear safety glasses, rubber gloves, and long
sleeved clothing when cleaning powder residue
from vehicle after airbag deployment. Sodium
hydroxide powder residue emitted from a
deployed airbag can cause skin irritation.
Flush affected area with cool water if irritation
is experienced. If nasal or throat irritation is

anchor. The OCM then monitors the return voltage
from each of the sensors. The bladder pressure sen-
sor input allows the OCM to determine whether the
passenger front seat is occupied and the relative size
of the occupant by providing a weight-sensing refer-
ence to the load on the seat cushion. The belt tension
sensor provides an additional logic input to the OCM
microprocessor that allows it to distinguish between
the lower seat belt cinch loads of a belted occupant
and the higher loads associated with a belted child
seat.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms and OCS cal-
ibration allow the OCM microprocessor to determine
when the seat cushion load as signaled by the blad-
der pressure sensor and the seat belt cinch load as
signaled by the belt tension sensor indicate that pas-
senger airbag protection is appropriate. When the
programmed conditions are met, the OCM sends the
proper electronic occupant classification messages
over the PCI data bus to the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC), and the ORC enables or disables
the deployment circuits for the passenger front sup-
plemental restraints. The ORC also provides a con-
trol output for the Passenger Airbag Disabled (PAD)
indicator in the instrument panel center stack, based
upon the electronic occupant classification messages
it receives from the OCM.
The OCM microprocessor continuously monitors all
of the OCS electrical circuits and components to
determine the system readiness. If the OCM detects
a monitored system fault, it sets an active and stored
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and sends the appro-
priate electronic messages to the ORC over the PCI
data bus. Then the ORC sets a DTC and sends mes-
sages to control the airbag indicator operation
accordingly. An active fault only remains for the
duration of the fault, or in some cases for the dura-
tion of the current ignition switch cycle, while a
stored fault causes a DTC to be stored in memory by
the OCM and the ORC. For some DTC's, if a fault
does not recur for a number of ignition cycles, the
OCM will automatically erase the stored DTC. For
other internal faults, the stored DTC is latched for-
ever.
The OCM receives battery current from an IPM
high side driver (Run/Start). The OCM receives
ground through a ground circuit of the body wire
harness, which it shares with the ORC. These con-
nections allow the OCM to be operational whenever
the ignition switch is in the Start or ON positions.
To diagnose and test the OCS, use a scan tool and
the appropriate diagnostic information.
REMOVAL
Once any of the original factory-installed compo-
nents except the Occupant Classification Module(OCM) have been replaced with the service replace-
ment package components, the OCM can only be ser-
viced by replacing the entire passenger front seat
cushion unit with another complete service replace-
ment package (Refer to 23 - BODY/SEATS/SEAT
CUSHION - FRONT - REMOVAL).
WARNING: Never replace both the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) and the Occupant Clas-
sification Module (OCM) at the same time. If both
require replacement, replace one, then perform the
Airbag System test (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RE-
STRAINTS - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AIRBAG
SYSTEM) before replacing the other. Both the ORC
and the OCM store Occupant Classification System
(OCS) calibration data, which they transfer to one
another when one of them is replaced. If both are
replaced at the same time, an irreversible fault will
be set in both modules and the OCS may malfunc-
tion and result in personal injury or death.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2)
WARNING: Wait two minutes for the airbag system
reserve capacitor to discharge before beginning
any airbag system or component service. Failure to
do so may result in accidental airbag deployment,
personal injury or death.
(3) Reach under the front edge of the passenger
side front seat cushion to access and remove the lock
pin from the connector lock tower on the Occupant
Classification Module (OCM) (Fig. 36).
(4) Disconnect the passenger front seat wire har-
ness connector for the OCM.
(5) Remove the two screws that secure the OCM to
the OCM bracket.
(6) Remove the OCM from under the passenger
front seat.
INSTALLATION
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death on
vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification
System (OCS), only the Occupant Classification
Module (OCM) and the seat cushion trim may be
serviced separately. All other components of the
passenger front seat cushion must be serviced only
as a complete factory-calibrated, assembled and
tamper-evident service replacement package.
Once any of the original factory-installed compo-
nents except the OCM have been replaced with the
service replacement package components, the OCM
can only be serviced by replacing the entire passen-

OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE (Continued)

The ORC is secured with screws to a stamped steel
mounting bracket welded onto the top of the floor
panel transmission tunnel just behind and under-
neath the instrument panel center stack in the pas-
senger compartment of the vehicle (Fig. 38).
Concealed within a hollow in the center of the die
cast aluminum ORC housing is the electronic cir-
cuitry of the ORC which includes a microprocessor,
an electronic impact sensor, an electronic safing sen-
sor, and an energy storage capacitor. A stamped
metal cover plate is secured to the bottom of the
ORC housing with four screws to enclose and protect
the internal electronic circuitry and components.
An arrow printed on the label on the top of the
ORC housing provides a visual verification of the
proper orientation of the unit, and should always be
pointed toward the front of the vehicle. The ORC
housing has integral mounting flanges. the ORC has
two molded plastic electrical connectors that exits the
right facing side of the ORC housing. These terminal
pins connect the ORC to the vehicle electrical system.
The impact sensor and safing sensor internal to
the ORC are calibrated for the specific vehicle, and
are only serviced as a unit with the ORC. In addi-
tion, there are unique versions of the ORC for vehi-
cles with or without curtain airbags. The ORC cannot
be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or faulty, it
must be replaced.
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Con-
troller (ORC) contains the supplemental restraint
system logic circuits and controls all of the supple-
mental restraint system components. The ORC uses
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communicatewith other electronic modules in the vehicle as well
as with the diagnostic scan tool using the Program-
mable Communication Interface (PCI) data bus. This
method of communication is used for control of the
airbag indicator in the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) and for supplemental restraint sys-
tem diagnosis and testing through the 16-way Data
Link Connector (DLC) located on the driver side
lower edge of the instrument panel.
The ORC microprocessor continuously monitors all
of the supplemental restraint system electrical cir-
cuits to determine the system readiness. If the ORC
detects a monitored system fault, it sets an active
and stored Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and sends
electronic messages to the EMIC over the PCI data
bus to turn on the airbag indicator. An active fault
only remains for the duration of the fault, or in some
cases for the duration of the current ignition switch
cycle, while a stored fault causes a DTC to be stored
in memory by the ORC. For some DTC's, if a fault
does not recur for a number of ignition cycles, the
ORC will automatically erase the stored DTC. For
other internal faults, the stored DTC is latched for-
ever.
On models equipped with the Occupant Classifica-
tion System (OCS), the ORC communicates with the
Occupant Classification Module (OCM) over the PCI
data bus. The ORC will internally disable the pas-
senger airbag and seat belt tensioner deployment cir-
cuits if the OCM detects that the passenger side
front seat is unoccupied or that it is occupied by a
load that is inappropriate for an airbag deployment.
The ORC also provides a control output to the Pas-
senger Airbag Disabled (PAD) indicator through the
passenger airbag indicator driver circuit. The OCM
notifies the ORC when it has detected a monitored
system fault and stored a DTC in its memory for any
faulty OCS component or circuit, then the ORC sets
a DTC and controls the airbag indicator operation
accordingly.
The ORC receives battery current through two cir-
cuits; a fused ignition switch output (RUN) circuit
through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB), and a
fused ignition switch output (RUN/START) circuit
through a second fuse in the JB. The ORC receives
ground through a ground circuit of the instrument
panel wire harness. These connections allow the ORC
to be operational whenever the ignition switch is in
the START or ON positions.
The ORC also contains an energy-storage capacitor.
When the ignition switch is in the START or ON
positions, this capacitor is continually being charged
with enough electrical energy to deploy the front sup-
plemental restraint components for up to one second
following a battery disconnect or failure. The purpose
of the capacitor is to provide backup supplemental

empty.
²The seat is occupied by a load equal to or
greater than a fifth percentile female.
²OR, until the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position, whichever of these three occurs first.
The ORC continually monitors the occupant classi-
fication messages from the OCM to decide whether
the passenger airbag and seat belt tensioner deploy-
ment circuits should be activated or deactivated.
Note that there may be several seconds of delay
between changes in the detected occupant status and
PAD indications. This is a programmed feature of the
OCM used to prevent a flashing indicator condition
resulting from the normal shifting of occupant weight
on the passenger seat cushion. The ORC then pro-
vides the proper control output to turn the PAD indi-
cator ON or OFF.
The ORC will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) for any malfunction it detects. For proper
diagnosis of the OCM, the ORC, the PCI data bus, or
the electronic message inputs to the ORC that con-
trol the PAD indicator, use a scan tool and the appro-
priate diagnostic information.REMOVAL

DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM)
performs the functions of the Sentry Key Immobilizer

ule, and the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) System
(previously part of the Electronic Vehicle Information

identical, but has added capabilities.
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS)
authenticates an electronically coded Transponder
Key placed into the ignition and sends a valid/invalid
key message to the Powertrain Control Module
RSVEHICLE THEFT SECURITY8Q-3
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY (Continued)

When the ignition switch is moved to the RUN
position, the SKREEM transmits an Radio Frequency
(RF) signal to the transponder in the ignition key.
The SKREEM then waits for a response RF signal
from the transponder in the key. If the response
received identifies the key as valid, the SKREEM
sends a9valid key9message to the Powertrain Con-
trol Module (PCM) over the Programmable Commu-
nication Interface (PCI) data bus. If the response
received identifies the key as invalid or no response
is received from the transponder in the ignition key,
the SKREEM sends an9invalid key9message to the
PCM. The PCM will enable or disable engine opera-
tion based upon the status of the SKREEM mes-
sages. It is important to note that the default
condition in the PCM is9invalid key.9Therefore, if no
response is received by the PCM, the engine will be
immobilized after two (2) seconds of running.
The SKREEM also sends indicator light status
messages to the Mechanical Instrument Cluster
(MIC) to operate the light. This is the method used to
turn the light ON solid or to flash it after the indi-
cator light test is complete to signify a fault in the
SKREES. If the light comes ON and stays ON solid
after the indicator light test, this signifies that the
SKREEM has detected a system malfunction and/or
that the SKREES has become inoperative. If the
SKREEM detects an invalid keyORa key-related
fault exists, the indicator light will flash following
the indicator light test. The SKREEM may also
request an audible chime if the customer key pro-
gramming feature is available and the procedure is
being utilized (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE

mitter. Use the DRBIIItor the customer program-
ming method to program the RKE system. However,
the SKREEM will only allow RKE programming
when the ignition is in the ON position, the PRNDL
is in park position, and the VTSS (if equipped) is dis-
armed.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM)
The SKREEM monitors the signals from the tire
pressure sensor/transmitters and determines if any
tire has gone below the low pressure threshold LOW
TIRE PRESSURE THRESHOLDS table.
LOW TIRE PRESSURE THRESHOLDS
SYSTEM STATUS
INDICATORTIRE PRESSURE
ON 193 kPa (28 PSI)
OFF 227 kPa (33 PSI)
CRITICAL AND NON-CRITICAL SYSTEM ALERTS
CRITICAL:A critical alert will be triggered when
a tire pressure has gone below a set threshold pres-
sure. The EVIC display will display ªX TIRE(S) LOW
PRESSUREº. ªXº will be the number of tires report-
ing low pressure. The message will display for the
duration of the current ignition cycle or until an
EVIC button is pressed. If the display is removed
without correcting the condition, it will reappear 300
seconds to warn the driver of the low pressure condi-
tion.
NON-CRITICAL:A non-critical alert will be trig-
gered when no signal is received from a sensor/trans-
mitter. The EVIC display in the cluster will display
ªSERVICE TIRE SYSTEM SOON.º
