experienced, exit the vehicle for fresh air until
the irritation ceases. If irritation continues, see
a physician.
Do not use a replacement airbag that is not in
the original packaging. This may result in
improper deployment, personal injury, or
death.
The factory installed fasteners, screws and
bolts used to fasten airbag components have a
special coating and are specifically designed
for the airbag system. Do not use substitute fas-
teners. Use only original equipment fasteners
listed in the parts catalog when fastener
replacement is required.
During, and following, any child restraint
anchor service, due to impact event or vehicle
repair, carefully inspect all mounting hard-
ware, tether straps, and anchors for proper
installation, operation, or damage. If a child
restraint anchor is found damaged in any way,
the anchor must be replaced. Failure to do this
may result in personal injury or death.
Deployed and nondeployed airbags may or
may not have live pyrotechnic material within
the airbag inflator. Do not dispose of driver/
passenger/seat/curtain/knee blocker airbags or
seat belt tensioners unless you are sure of com-
plete deployment. Refer to the Hazardous Sub-
stance Control System for proper disposal.
Dispose of deployed airbags and tensioners
consistent with state, provincial, local, and fed-
eral regulations.
After any airbag component testing or ser-
vice, do not connect the battery negative cable
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AIRBAG SYSTEM).
Personal injury or death may result if the sys-
tem test is not performed first.
If the vehicle is equipped with the Occupant
Classification System (OCS), do not connect the
battery negative cable before performing the
OCS Verification Test using the scan tool and
the appropriate diagnostic information. Per-
sonal injury or death may result if the system
test is not performed properly.
Never replace both the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) and the Occupant Classifica-
tion Module (OCM) at the same time. If both
require replacement, replace one, then perform
the Airbag System test (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/RESTRAINTS - 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 thesame time, an irreversible fault will be set in
both modules and the OCS may malfunction
and cause personal injury or death.

RESTRAINTS (Continued)

Service replacement clocksprings are shipped pre-
centered and with a molded plastic shield that snaps
onto the rotor over the release button. The release
button secures the centered clockspring rotor to the
clockspring case and the shield prevents the release
button from being inadvertently depressed during
shipment and handling, but the shield must be
removed from the clockspring after it is installed on
the steering column (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RE-
STRAINTS/CLOCKSPRING - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE).
The clockspring cannot be repaired. If the clock-
spring is faulty, damaged, or if the driver airbag has
been deployed, the clockspring must be replaced.
OPERATION
The clockspring is a mechanical electrical circuit
component that is used to provide continuous electri-
cal continuity between the fixed instrument panel
wire harness and the electrical components mounted
on or in the rotating steering wheel. The rotating
electrical components include the driver airbag, the
horn switch, the speed control switches, and the
remote radio switches, if the vehicle is so equipped.
The clockspring case is positioned and secured to the
upper steering column housing near the top of the
steering column. The connector receptacles on the
tail of the clockspring case connect the clockspring to
the vehicle electrical system through two connectors
from the instrument panel wire harness.
The clockspring rotor is movable and is keyed by
the tower formation that is molded onto the upper
surface of the rotor hub to an opening that is cast
into the steering wheel armature. Rubber bumper
blocks on either side of the clockspring tower forma-
tion eliminate contact noise between the clockspring
tower and the steering wheel. The lobe of the turn
signal cancel cam on the lower surface of the clock-
spring rotor hub contacts a turn signal cancel actua-
tor of the multi-function switch to provide automatic
turn signal cancellation. The yellow or black-sleeved
pigtail wires on the upper surface of the clockspring
rotor connect the clockspring to the driver airbag,
while a steering wheel wire harness connects the
connector receptacle on the upper surface of the
clockspring rotor to the horn switch and, if the vehi-
cle is so equipped, to the optional speed control
switches and remote radio switches on the steering
wheel.
The clockspring tape has travel limits and can be
damaged by being wound too tightly during full stop-
to-stop steering wheel rotation. To prevent this from
occurring, the clockspring is centered when it is
installed on the steering column. Centering the clock-
spring indexes the clockspring tape to the movable
steering components so that the tape can operatewithin its designed travel limits. However, if the
clockspring is removed from the steering column or if
the steering shaft is disconnected from the steering
gear, the clockspring spool can change position rela-
tive to the movable steering components and must be
re-centered following completion of the service or the
tape may be damaged (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
RESTRAINTS/CLOCKSPRING - STANDARD PRO-
CEDURE).
Service replacement clocksprings are shipped pre-
centered and with a plastic shield installed over the
clockspring release button. This shield should not be
removed and the release button should not be
depressed until the clockspring has been installed on
the steering column. If the release button is
depressed before the clockspring is installed on a
steering column, the clockspring centering procedure
must be performed (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RE-
STRAINTS/CLOCKSPRING - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE).
STANDARD PROCEDURE - CLOCKSPRING

CURTAIN AIRBAG
DESCRIPTION
Curtain Airbags (Fig. 11) are available when it is
also equipped with dual front airbags. These airbags
are passive and inflatable, Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) components, and vehicles with this
equipment can be readily identified by a molded
identification trim button with the ªSRS - AIRBAGº
logo (Fig. 12) located on the B-pillar and C-pillar
upper trim panels. This system is designed to reduce
injuries to the vehicle occupants in the event of a
side impact collision.
Curtain airbags have two individually controlled
curtain airbag units. These airbag units are con-
cealed and mounted above the headliner where they
are each secured to one of the roof side rails (Fig.
13). Each airbag cushion is contained within a fabric
wrap that extends along the roof rail from the A-pil-
lar at the front of the vehicle to just behind the
D-pillar at the rear of the vehicle. One tether extends
down the A-pillar from the front of the airbag cush-
ion, and a second tether extends to the roof rail at
the D-pillar. The end of the A-pillar tether is secured
to a slot in the sheet metal with a metal hook
retained by a bolt. The D-pillar tether is attached to
the d-pillar.

CLOCKSPRING (Continued)

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.

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.

WARNING: On vehicles equipped with airbags, refer
to electrical, restraints, warnings, before attempting
component diagnosis or service. Failure to take the
proper precautions could result in accidental 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 scan
tool. The scan tool will allow confirmation that the
PCI bus is functional, that the Sentry Key Remote
Entry Module (SKREEM) is placing the proper mes-
sages on the PCI bus, and that the Powertrain Con-
trol Module (PCM) is receiving the PCI bus
messages. Refer to the proper Body Diagnostic Proce-
dures 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.

SENTRY KEY REMOTE ENTRY
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM)
performs the functions of the Sentry Key Immobilizer
Module (SKIM), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Mod-
ule, and the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) System
(previously part of the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC).
The SKREEM is located in the same location as
the SKIM was and is mounted the same way. It looks
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)

(PCM) based upon the results. The ªVALID/INVALID
KEYº message communication is performed using a
rolling code algorithm via the Programmable Com-
munication Interface (PCI) data bus. A ªVALID KEYº
message must be sent to the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) within two seconds of ignition ON to
free the engine from immobilization.
The SKREEM contains a Radio Frequency (RF)
transceiver and a microprocessor. The SKREEM
retains in memory the ID numbers of any Sentry Key
that is programmed to it. The maximum number of
keys that may be programmed to each module is
eight (8). The SKREEM also communicates over the
Programmable Communication Interface (PCI) data
bus with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the
Body Control Module (BCM), the Mechanical Instru-
ment Cluster (MIC), and the DRB IIItscan tool. The
SKREEM transmits and receives RF signals through
a tuned antenna enclosed within a molded plastic
ring formation that is integral to the SKREEM hous-
ing. When the SKREEM is properly installed on the
steering column, the antenna ring fits snugly around
the circumference of the ignition lock cylinder hous-
ing. If this ring is not mounted properly, communica-
tion problems may arise in the form of transponder-
related faults.
For added system security, each SKREEM is pro-
grammed with a unique9Secret Key9code. This code
is stored in memory and is sent over the PCI bus to
the PCM and to each key that is programmed to
work with the vehicle. The9Secret Key9code is there-
fore a common element found in all components of
the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS). In the
event that a SKREEM replacement is required, the
9Secret Key9code can be restored from the PCM by
following the SKIM replacement procedure found in
the DRB IIItscan tool. Proper completion of this
task will allow the existing ignition keys to be repro-
grammed. Therefore, new keys will NOT be needed.
In the event that the original9Secret Key9code can
not be recovered, new ignition keys will be required.
The DRB IIItscan tool will alert the technician if
key replacement is necessary. Another security code,
called a PIN, is used to gain secured access to the
SKREEM for service. The SKREEM also stores in its
memory the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN),
which it learns through a bus message from the
assembly plant tester. The SKIS scrambles the infor-
mation that is communicated between its components
in order to reduce the possibility of unauthorized
SKREEM access and/or disabling.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The RKE transmitter uses radio frequency signals
to communicate with the SKREEM. The SKREEM is
on the PCI bus. When the operator presses a buttonon the transmitter, it sends a specific request to the
SKREEM. In turn the SKREEM sends the appropri-
ate request over the PCI Bus to the:
²Body Control Module (BCM) to control the door
lock and unlock functions, the liftgate lock and
unlock functions, the arming and disarming of the
Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) (if equipped),
and the activation of illuminated entry.
²Integrated Power Module (IPM) to activate the
park lamps, the headlamps, and the horn for horn
chirp. If requested, the BCM sends a request over
the PCI Bus to the:
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM)
If equipped with the Tire Pressure Monitoring
(TPM) System, each of the vehicles four wheels will
have a valve stem with a pressure sensor and radio
transmitter built in. Signals from the tire pressure
sensor/transmitter are received and interpreted by
the SKREEM.
A sensor/transmitter in a mounted wheel will
broadcast its detected pressure once per minute
when the vehicle is moving faster than 15 mph (24
km/h). Each sensor/transmitter's broadcast is
uniquely coded so that the SKREEM can determine
the location.
OPERATION
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER
The Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM)
receives an encrypted Radio Frequency (RF) signal
from the transponder key. The SKREEM then
decrypts the signal and broadcasts the requested
remote commands to the appropriate modules in the
vehicle over the Programmable Communication
Interface (PCI) data bus. A valid transponder key ID
must be incorporated into the RF signal in order for
the SKREEM to pass the message on to the appro-
priate modules.
Automatic transponder key synchronization is done
by the SKREEM if a valid transponder key is
inserted into the ignition cylinder, and the ignition is
turned ON. This provides a maximum operation win-
dow for RKE functions.
Each Sentry Key Remote Entry System (SKREES)
consists of a SKREEM and a transponder key. Each
system has a secret key code unique to that system.
The secret key is electronically coded in the
SKREEM and in all programmed transponder keys.
It is used for immobilization and RKE functions for
data security. In addition, each transponder key will
have a unique identification. For North America, the
options are a 3-button or 6 button integrated keys.
For Export, the options are 2-button or 5 button key
fobs. (Export does not get the integrated key).

WIPERS/WASHERS
DESCRIPTION
FRONT WIPER/WASHER SYSTEM
The windshield wipers can be operated with the
windshield wiper switch when the ignition switch is
in the RUN or ACCESSORY positions. The wind-
shield wiper system is protected by a 30 amp fuse (9)
located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) part
of the Integrated Power Module (IPM) in the engine
compartment. The wiper/washer switch is integral to
the multi-function switch. It is a resistive MUX
switch that sends inputs to the BCM to operate the
wiper/washer system.
REAR WIPER/WASHER SYSTEM
The rear windshield wiper and washers can be
operated when the ignition switch is in the RUN
position.
If equipped with Manual Temperature Controls
(MTC), the rear wiper/washer switch is integral to
the HVAC control unit. It replaces what was formerly
the ON/OFF switch. If equipped with Automatic Tem-
perature Controls (ATC), the rear wiper/washer
switch is located on the accessory switch panel in the
center stack of the instrument panel.
RSWIPERS/WASHERS8R-1

OPERATION
FRONT WIPER/WASHER SYSTEM
The windshield washer circuit is protected by a 15
amp Cartridge Fuse located in the IPM. The wiper
motor has permanent magnetic fields. The speeds are
determined by current flow to the appropriate set of
brushes inside the motor. The current flow is con-
trolled by the multi-function switch. The high speed/
low speed relays are located in the IPM. The speed
sensitive intermittent wiper is controlled by the Body
Control Module (BCM). The intermittent mode, with
the vehicle traveling greater than 10.4 mph, has a
range of 0.5 to 18 seconds. With the vehicle traveling
less than 10.4 mph, the time delay doubles to a
range of 1 to 36 seconds. The wiper arms will park at
the base of the windshield just above the cowl cover
after the wiper switch is turned OFF.
The windshield wiper motor and linkage is located
in an integral wiper unit at the rear of the engine
compartment. The wiper unit must be removed to
gain access to the wiper motor.
The front and rear washer systems share the same
washer pump motor.
REAR WIPER/WASHER SYSTEM
When rear wiper operation is required, the BCM
will provide ignition ON voltage to the rear wiper
motor (Export and ATC equipped vehicles only).
When the wiper switch is turned OFF, the BCM pro-
vides circuit ground to operate the motor until the
wipe cycle is complete and the wiper arm returns to
the base of the rear window.
Switch only offers an intermittent rear wiper
mode. The wiper motor will cycle every 7 seconds.
The intermittent delay time is also adjusted based
upon vehicle speed. With the vehicle traveling
greater than 50 mph, the cycle changes to every 5
seconds.
When rear washer is requested by depressing and
holding down the switch, the BCM then provides a
ground for the washer motor. Until the switch is
released, the motor will be in a continuous wipe
mode, then return to an intermittent wipe mode.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FRONT WIPER
SYSTEM
The windshield wiper system operates in several
modes:
²Low and high speed normal wipe
²Speed sensitive intermittent wipe
²Wipe after wash
²Park (switch OFF)The windshield wiper circuits are continuously
monitored and controlled by the Body Control Mod-
ule (BCM). If a problem occurs in the electronic com-
ponents, wiring, switch (except integral motor park
switch) and wiper motor a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) will be stored in the BCM memory. DTC's can
be retrieved using a DRB IIItscan tool. Refer to the
proper Body Diagnostic Procedures manual for DTC
descriptions and retrieval information.
The windshield wiper park switch and circuit is
monitored by the BCM. The park switch and circuit
can be tested using the Wiper System Diagnosis
table.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FRONT
WIPER/WASHER SWITCH
(1) Remove the multi-function switch (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/
MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH - REMOVAL).
(2) Using an ohmmeter check resistance readings
between switch pins. Refer to the WIPER/WASHER
SWITCH RESISTANCE table.
WIPER/WASHER SWITCH RESISTANCE
SWITCH POSITION RESISTANCE BETWEEN
OFF 1 AND 2 = 23.9KV 5%
DELAY POSITION
1ST 1 AND 2 = 7.9KV 5%
2ND 1 AND 2 = 4.6KV 5%
3RD 1 AND 2 = 2.9KV 5%
4TH 1 AND 2 = 1.9KV 5%
5TH 1 AND 2 = 1.3KV 5%
LOW 1 AND 2 = 670V 5%
HIGH 1 AND2=240V 5%
WASH 1 AND 4 = 5.9KV 5%
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FAILED PARK
SWITCH
If the wiper park switch has failed, the windshield
wipers will operate as follows:
²SWITCH OFF- Wipers stop in current location
regardless of the park signal.
²INTERMITTENT MODE- Wipers operate con-
tinuously or at low speed for one or more extra
wipes.
²LOW SPEED- Wipers operate at low speed.
²HIGH SPEED- Wipers operate at high speed.
