secured to the floor under the Driver seat and
receives power from the Fuse Block No. 1. When-
ever the ignition key is turned to the run or start
position, the ACM performs a system test. The ACM
cannot be repaired or adjusted.
The microprocessor in the ACM monitors the
internal and external airbag system electrical cir-
cuits to determine the system readiness. When a
monitored system is determine to be out of range,
the ACM will set both active and stored diagnostic
trouble codes (DTC). The ACM also contains an
energy-storage capacitor. This capacitor stores
enough electrical energy to deploy the front airbag
components for two seconds following a battery
disconnect or failure during an impact.
The Accelerometer in the ACM is used to sense
the rate of vehicle deceleration, provide verification
of the direction and severity of an impact. When the
preprogrammed conditions are met, the ACM sends
an electrical signal to deploy the appropriate front
airbag system components and a deployment noti-
fication.
To provide an accident response notification, the
ACM is hardwired to the Central Timer module
(CTM) and Engine Control Module (ECM). When a
deployment occurs the ACM provides a 50ms 10.0
volt pulse to the CTM and ECM. When the Accident
Report notification signal is received the CTM un-
locks the door locks and the ECM stalls the engine.
The Accident signal will set a DTC in the CTM and
the door locks will not work until the DTC has been
erased. The ECM will set a DTC if the Accident
Report circuit is shorted to battery voltage. The
ACM saves the deployment record and after three
deployments the ACM must be replaced. The
DRBIIItcan be used to test the Accident Report
Notification feature: select the SYSTEM TEST from
the ACM main menu. Then select the Analog Crash
Output System Test.
The ACM is hardwired to the Instrument Cluster
(MIC) to control Warning Indicator (SRS indicator).
When DTCs becomes activate, the ACM illuminates
the Warning Indicator by pulling the indicator
circuit low. The SRS indicator is the only point at
which the customer can observe symptoms of a
system malfunction.
As part of the system test the ACM illuminates
the Warning Indicator on for 4.0 second bulb test.
After the lamp check, if the indicator turns off, it
means that the ACM has checked the system and
found it to be free of discernible malfunctions.
NON-CRITICAL DTCs
If the lamp comes on and stays on for a period
longer than 4.0 seconds (about 10.0 seconds) is
usually a stored DTC (intermittent problem) in the
system.
CRITICAL DTCs
DTCs that could lead to a condition where the
safety devises may not deploy or incorrectly deploy.
In the event of such a DTC, the safety of the vehicle
occupants can no longer be guaranteed. If the lamp
remains on, there could be an active DTC in the
system. Some DTCs, Internal Module and squib
DTCs, will keep the indicator illuminated even if
the codes are no longer active.
ACM NOT CONFIGURED FOR PASSENGER
AIRBAG AND TENSIONER
If after replacing the ACM the Airbag Warning
Indicator flashes continuously the ACM must be
configured for the Passenger Airbag and Tensioner.
Select Miscellaneous from the ACM main menu and
configure the Passenger Airbag Tensioner squibs.
WARNING:THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS A
SENSITIVE, COMPLEX ELECTROMECHANICAL
UNIT. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DIAGNOSE OR
SERVICE ANY AIRBAG SYSTEM OR RELATED
STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, OR
INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENTS YOU MUST
FIRST DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE
BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE. WAIT
TWO MINUTES FOR THE SYSTEM CAPACITOR
TO DISCHARGE BEFORE FURTHER SYSTEM
SERVICE. THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO
DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO
DO THIS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH, NEVER STRIKE OR KICK THE
AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE, AS IT CAN
DAMAGE THE IMPACT SENSOR OR AFFECT
ITS CALIBRATION.
WARNING: IF AN AIRBAG CONTROL
MODULE IS ACCIDENTALLY DROPPED
DURING SERVICE, THE MODULE MUST BE
SCRAPPED AND REPLACED WITH A NEW
UNIT. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER
PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN
ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
3.1.1 DRIVER AIRBAG
The airbag protective trim cover is the most
visible part of the driver side airbag system. The
airbag is mounted directly to the steering wheel.
Located under the trim cover are the airbag cushion
and the airbag cushion supporting components.
2
GENERAL INFORMATION

loads are connected to cables and mounted in a
storage case. The cables can be directly connected to
some airbag system connectors. Jumpers are used
to convert the load tool cable connectors to the other
airbag system connectors. The adapters are con-
nected to the module harness connector to open
shorting clips and protect the connector terminal
during testing. When using the load tool follow all of
the safety procedures in the service information for
disconnecting airbag system components. Inspect
the wiring, connector and terminals for damage or
misalignment. Substitute the airbag load tool in
place of a Driver or Passenger Airbag, seat belt
tensioner, clockspring (use a jumper if needed).
Then follow all of the safety procedures in the
service information for connecting airbag system
components. Read the module active DTCs. If the
module reports NO ACTIVE DTCs the defective
components has been removed from the system and
should be replaced. If the DTC is still active, con-
tinue this process until all components in the circuit
have been tested. Then disconnect the module con-
nector and connect the matching adapter to the
module connector. With all airbags disconnected
and the adapter installed the squib wiring can be
tested for open and shorted conditions.
3.1.6 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Airbag diagnostic trouble codes consist of active
and stored codes. If more than one code exists,
diagnostic priority should be given to the active
codes. Each diagnostic trouble code is diagnosed by
following a specific testing procedure. The diagnos-
tic test procedures contain step-by-step instructions
for determining the cause of the trouble codes. It is
not necessary to perform all of the tests in this book
to diagnose an individual code. Always begin by
reading the diagnostic trouble codes with the
DRBIIIt. This will direct you to the specific test(s)
that must be performed. In certain test procedures
within this manual, diagnostic trouble codes are
used as a diagnostic tool.
3.1.6.1 ACTIVE CODES
If the lamp remains on, there could be an active
DTC in the system. The code becomes active as soon
as the malfunction is detected or key-on, whichever
occurs first. An active trouble code indicates an
on-going malfunction. This means that the defect is
currently there every time the airbag control mod-
ule checks that circuit or component. Some DTCs,
Internal Module and squib DTCs, will keep the
indicator illuminated even if they are no longer
active. If the lamp is on and no active codes are
present, cycling the ignition switch off and then on
will refresh the lamp state. It is impossible to erase
an active code.
3.1.6.2 STORED CODES
Airbag codes are automatically stored in the
ACM's memory as soon as the malfunction is de-
tected. A stored code indicates there was an active
code present at some time. Stored diagnostic trou-
ble code will remain stored until erased by the DRB.
If a malfunction is not active while performing a
diagnostic test procedure, the active code diagnostic
test will not locate the source of the problem. In this
case, the stored code can indicate an area to inspect.
Maintain a safe distance from all airbags while
performing the following inspection. If no obvious
problems are found, erase stored codes, and with
the ignition on wiggle the wire harness and connec-
tors, rotate the steering wheel from stop to stop.
Recheck for codes periodically as you work through
the system. This procedure may uncover a malfunc-
tion that is difficult to locate.
3.2 COMMUNICATION
3.2.1 COMMUNICATION K-LINES
The K-Lines are a group of circuits that connect
each control module to the Data Link Connector
(DLC). Each control module is connected to the DLC
with a single K-Line. The DRBIIItuses the K-Line
to communicate with each control module. With the
use of the K-Lines the DRBIIItis able to read each
control modules DTCs, sensor displays, I/Os etc. If
DRBIIItcommunications with a particular control
module is lost, one of the possible causes could be a
fault in the module's K-Line.
NOTE: It is important to note the DRBIIIT
uses the K-Lines for diagnostic and
monitoring functions and is no way
connected to the CAN data bus network.
The following modules that use the K-line on this
vehicle are:
²Airbag Control Module (ACM)
²Automatic Temperature Control (ATC)
²Cabin Heater Module (CHM)
²Central Timer Module (CTM)
²Controller Antilock Brake (CAB)
²Engine Control Module (ECM)
²Heater Booster Module (HBM)
²Instrument Cluster (IC)
²Shifter Assembly (SA)
²Security System Module (SSM)
²Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM)
²Transmission Control Module (TCM)

GENERAL INFORMATION

Static Heater Signal
A status of9ON9indicates that the heater module
sees the9Stationary Heating Mode ON9signal after
switching on the heater with the heater timer or the
auxiliary heater switch. A status of9OFF9indicates
that the9Stationary Heating Mode ON9signal is
not present at the heater module.
Heater Booster Mode Signal
A status of9ON9indicates that the heater module
sees the9Heater Booster Mode ON9signal after
switching on the heater with the auxiliary heater
switch. A status of9OFF9indicates that the9Heater
Booster Mode ON9signal is not present at the
heater module.
3.4 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
The Instrument Cluster has easy-to-read instru-
ments, is capable of CAN bus communication and
provides a diagnostic function. The Instrument
Cluster with analog speedometer, tachometer, fuel
and coolant temperature gauges comes in two ver-
sions.
²Speedometer with outer miles-per-hour (mph)
scale and inner kilometers-per-hour (km/h) scale.
Coolant temperature is indicated in Fahrenheit
(for US).
²Speedometer with outer kilometers-per-hour
(km/h) scale and inner miles-per-hours (mph)
scale. Coolant temperature is indicated in de-
grees Celsius (for Canada).
Below the speedometer, there is a LCD multi-
function indicator in clear view of the driver. Warn-
ing and indicator lights (based on colored light
emitting diodes) are located in the bottom of the
instrument cluster with the exception of the turn
signal indicator lights, ASR warning light and re-
serve fuel warning light. The warning lights for the
seat belt usage and parking brake/brake fluid level
are located in the line above the bottom line. The
indicator that illuminates up when the parking
brake is applied or the brake fluid level is low is
different for U.S. and Canada.
When the key is turned to the 2nd position in the
ignition, the function of the following indicator
lights is checked automatically: High Beam ON,
Preheating, airbag malfunction. In case of a broken
LED of the airbag malfunction light, the seat belt
usage warning light will flash for 6 seconds after
the function check is finished. The Instrument
Cluster is operated with the help of 4 buttons
located below the multifunction indicator. The back-
lighting for the instrument cluster uses yellow
LED's and can be adjusted electronically to daylight
and darkness.The instrument cluster includes a warning
buzzer, which sounds (in addition to a warning light
in some cases) when:
²The headlights are on with the ignition off and
the door opened.
²The driver 's seat belt is not fastened with the
ignition on.
²The key is in the ignition and the door is open.
²Critical ASSYST information is displayed in the
multifunction indicator.
3.5 POWER DOOR LOCKS/RKE
3.5.1 CENTRAL LOCKING
The Central Locking System locks all vehicle
doors if any door is locked from the inside or
mechanically locked with the key from the outside.
However, unlocking any door, in that manner, will
only unlock that particular door. The Master Door
Lock Switch on the dash enables the operator to
lock/unlock all doors. By pressing the top of the
rocker type switch once, all doors will lock. Pressing
the switch again will unlock all doors. Pressing the
lower part of the switch once will lock all doors
except the driver door. Pressing the lower part
again will unlock all doors except the driver door. If
the Central Locking System automatically unlocks
after the vehicle was attempted to be locked, at
least one door is not properly closed.
There are two LED indicators in the Master Door
Lock Switch. The left indicator is for the driver door
and the right indicator is for all passenger/cargo
doors. These will indicate if a door is ajar or if the
doors are locked. The door ajar switches are part of
the door lock motor and are mounted in the door
latch assembly.
Inside each door lock motor there is a command
switch. The command switch is operated by the
plunger and signals any change in the lock status,
locked or unlocked. Each command switch is wired
to the Central Timer Module (CTM) sometimes
referred to as the Central Locking Module. If all
doors are closed and are unlocked, and any door is
locked by the key or the interior handle, thereby
changing the command switch, all doors will be
locked. If one of the door lock motors does not reach
the end position after a locking command, it will be
detected by the CTM (command switch not in
9Locked9position) and the vehicle will be unlocked.
3.5.2 REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The SKREEM is a combination of the Remote
Keyless Entry Module and the SKIM (Sentry Key
Immobilizer Module). It is located behind the In-
strument Cluster and has an antenna that goes up
9
GENERAL INFORMATION

the A-pillar. The SKREEM receives radio messages
from the RKE transmitter (fob) and sends com-
mands via the RKE Interface circuit to the CTM. If
the vehicle is equipped with VTSS, the Security
System Module will be connected in series between
the SKREEM and the CTM.
Confirmation of the RKE Lock/Unlock state is
accomplished via the turn signals. When the vehicle
is locked via RKE the turn signals will flash three
times. When it is unlocked via RKE, the turn
signals will flash one time. If the vehicle has been
unlocked via RKE and no door is opened within 40
seconds, the entire vehicle will be locked again
automatically.
If a transmitter (fob) is operated more than 255
times in succession beyond the range of the receiver
(SKREEM), the RKE portion of the key will become
inoperative. In order to put it back in synchroniza-
tion it will be necessary to have ALL the other
transmitters that are used with this vehicle avail-
able and follow the following procedure:
1. Cycle the ignition on and off 2 times within 6
seconds (leave in off position).
2. Press the lock or unlock button of the disabled
transmitter within 3 seconds of turning the
ignition off.
3. Press any button (lock or unlock) 3 more times
within 6 seconds.
4. Wait 10 seconds.
5. Press any button of ALL other transmitters
belonging to this vehicle at least once within
the next 20 seconds.
For problems related to the Immobilizer function
of the SKREEM, see Service Information.
3.5.3 AUTO DOOR LOCKS
Whenever the engine is started, the CTM receives
a message to lock all doors except the drivers door.
This is accomplished through the D+ Relay. The D+
Relay is controlled by the Instrument Cluster which
receives a command from the ECM that the engine
is running. This relay supplies power to the CTM
(for auto locking), the daytime running lamps and
the rear window defogger.
3.5.4 ACCIDENT RESPONSE
The CTM is hardwired to the Airbag Control
Module through the Enhanced Accident Report
Driver circuit. Anytime the vehicle airbags are
deployed, the CTM will unlock all doors and a
9Crash9DTC will be stored in memory. The door
locks will be inoperative until that code is cleared. If
the vehicle is severly jarred, but not enough to
deploy the airbags, it is possible that the DTC could
be set and therefore the door locks would be inop-
erable. Whenever the door locks are not opera-tional, use the DRBIII and check DTC's . If the code
9ACM has unlocked the doors9appears, use the
DRBIII and erase it.
3.6 VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
(VTSS)
The Security System Module (SSM) is located
under the driver's seat. The SSM communicates
with the DRBIII over the K-line. If equipped the
Vehicle Theft Security System will monitor the
following:
²door jamb switches
²hood ajar switch
²ignition switch
²interior of the vehicle for movement
²longitudinal and transverse movement of the
vehicle
²rear defogger grids for glass breakage
²trailer connector
To arm the system the hood and all of the doors
must be closed when the vehicle is locked with the
RKE transmitter or with the use of the key in the
driver door. If the key is used, it must be held in the
lock position for 2 seconds. When the system is first
activated, the hazard lamps will flash 3 times. Also
with the system armed, the Towing/Intrusion Sen-
sor On/Off Switch indicator will flash to indicate an
armed system. To disarm the system use the RKE
or the driver door lock cylinder. Unlocking and
opening one of the other doors with the system
armed will trip the vehicle theft security system.
Interior monitoring is done by the use of an
Intrusion Sensor located in the front headliner and
with one or two sensors in the ceiling of the cargo
area depending on how the vehicle is equipped.
Monitoring of the interior of the vehicle will begin
after the system has been armed for 30 seconds. The
on/off switch located on the instrument panel can be
used to turn off this feature with the ignition switch
in either the Locked/Off or ACC position. The vehi-
cle tow-monitoring feature can also be switched off
using this switch. Re-locking the vehicle a second
time will reactivate these features.
If a trailer is connected to the vehicle when the
system is armed, the SSM will sense a resistance
change on the turn signal circuits if the trailer
harness becomes disconnected and will trip the
alarm.
Tripping the vehicle theft security system will
cause the hazard lamps to flash and the siren to
sound at 30-second intervals. The siren is equipped
with it's own self-contained battery. In the event the
vehicle's battery power is disconnected the siren
will continue to sound on it's own.

GENERAL INFORMATION

General Information Section or in the service man-
ual procedures. Following these procedures is very
important to the safety of the individuals perform-
ing diagnostic tests.
4.2.2 VEHICLE PREPARATION FOR
TESTING
Make sure the vehicle being tested has a fully
charged battery. If it does not, false diagnostic codes
or error messages may occur.
4.2.3 SERVICING SUB-ASSEMBLIES
Some components of the body system are in-
tended to be serviced as an assembly only. Attempt-
ing to remove or repair certain system subcompo-
nents may result in personal injury and/or
improper system operation. Only those components
with approved repair and installation procedures in
the service manual should be serviced.
4.2.4 DRBIIITSAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: EXCEEDING THE LIMITS OF THE
DRBIIITMULTIMETER IS DANGEROUS.
READ ALL DRBIIITINSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THE MULTIMETER. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
²Follow the vehicle manufacturer 's service speci-
fications at all times.
²Do not use the DRBIIItif it has been damaged.
²Do not use the test leads if the insulation is
damaged or if metal is exposed.
²To avoid electrical shock, do not touch the test
leads, tips, or the circuit being tested.
²Choose the proper range and functions for the
measurement. Do not try voltage or current mea-
surement that may exceed the rated capacity.
²Do not exceed the limits shown in the table below:
FUNCTION INPUT LIMIT
Volts 0 - 500 peak volts AC
0 - 500 volts DC
Ohms (Resistance)* 0 - 1.12 megaohms
Frequency Measure
Frequency Generated0-10kHz
Temperature -58 - +1100ÉF
-50 - +600ÉC
* Ohms cannot be measured if voltage is present.
Ohms can be measured only on a non-powered
circuit.± Voltage between any terminal and ground
must not exceed 500v DC or 500v peak AC.
± Use caution when measuring voltage above
25v DC or 25v AC.
± Use the low current shunt to measure circuits
up to 10A. Use the high current clamp to
measure circuits exceeding 10A.
± When testing for the presence of voltage or
current, make sure the meter is functioning
correctly. Take a reading of a known voltage or
current before accepting a zero reading.
± When measuring current, connect the meter in
series with the load.
± Disconnect the live test lead before disconnect-
ing the common test lead.
± When using the meter function, keep the
DRBIIItaway from spark plug or coil wires to
avoid measuring error from outside interfer-
ence.
4.3 WARNINGS
4.3.1 VEHICLE DAMAGE WARNINGS
Before disconnecting any control module, make
sure the ignition is ``off ''. Failure to do so could
damage the module.
When testing voltage or continuity at any control
module, use the terminal side (not the wire end) of
the connector. Do not probe a wire through the
insulation; this will damage it and eventually cause
it to fail because of corrosion. Be careful when
performing electrical tests so as to prevent acciden-
tal shorting of terminals. Such mistakes can dam-
age fuses or components. Also, a second code could
be set, making diagnosis of the original problem
more difficult.
4.3.2 ROAD TESTING A COMPLAINT
