restraint system is functioning normally and that the
repairs are complete. If the airbag indicator fails to
light, or lights and stays on, there is still an active
supplemental restraint system fault or malfunction.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information to
diagnose the problem.
NOTE: If the Airbag Control Module (ACM) has been
replaced with a new unit, it will be necessary to ini-
tialize the new ACM. In order to function properly,
the ACM must be programmed for the correct stan-
dard and optional supplemental restraint system
components installed in the vehicle. To initialize the
ACM, a diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to
the appropriate diagnostic information.
AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Airbag Control Module (ACM) is secured with
three screws to the top mounting surface of a
stamped steel bracket that is welded onto the floor
panel within the seat riser underneath the driver
side front seat in the passenger compartment of the
vehicle (Fig. 6). A molded plastic protective cover is
installed over the ACM and secured with integral
snap features to a flat metal base plate sandwiched
between the bottom of the ACM and the mounting
bracket on the floor panel (Fig. 7). This cover is
designed to shield the ACM and its wire harness con-
nection from other electrical components and wiring
located within the seat riser area beneath the driver
seat, and must always be reinstalled following ser-
vice removal.Concealed within a hollow in the center of the die
cast aluminum ACM housing is the electronic cir-
cuitry of the ACM which includes a microprocessor,
an electronic impact sensor, an electronic safing sen-
sor, and an energy storage capacitor. A stamped
metal cover plate is permanently secured to the bot-
tom of the ACM housing to enclose and protect the
internal electronic circuitry and components.
An arrow printed on a label on the top of the ACM
housing near the rear provides a visual verification
of the proper orientation of the unit, and should
always be pointed toward the front of the vehicle.
The ACM housing has integral mounting flanges on
three corners. A molded plastic electrical connector
receptacle containing numerous terminal pins is inte-
gral to the left facing side of the ACM housing. These
terminal pins connect the ACM to the vehicle electri-
cal system through a dedicated take out and connec-
tor of the vehicle wire harness.
The impact sensor internal to the ACM are cali-
brated for the specific vehicle, and are only serviced
as a unit with the ACM. In addition, the ACM must
be electronically programmed for the correct stan-
dard and optional supplemental restraint system
components installed in the vehicle. The ACM cannot
be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or faulty, it
must be replaced.
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Airbag Control Module
(ACM) contains the supplemental restraint system
logic circuits and controls all of the supplemental
restraint system components. The ACM uses
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communicate
with a diagnostic scan tool using a diagnostic Serial

VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY
DESCRIPTION
A vehicle theft alarm with a battery powered siren
is available as an option and includes interior moni-
toring, anti-tow away protection and rear window
monitoring based on the heater wires. The alarm is
automatically activated when the central locking sys-
tem is operated.
The alarm will sound when any of the following
occur:
²A door is opened
²A door is unlocked from inside the vehicle
²The hood is opened
²The vehicle is raised at the front or rear
²The trailer wire harness is disconnected
²Movements inside the vehicle
²The central locking is unlocked by a key at any
other door than the driver's door
The alarm is functional about 30 seconds after the
vehicle is locked using the RKE transmitter or the
key in the driver's door. Activation is indicated by the
indicator lights flashing three times and the warning
lamp flashing in the switch. If persons or animals
remain in the locked vehicle, the operator should
switch off the interior monitor to avoid a false alarm.
OPERATION
The anti-theft alarm is activated/deactivated by
locking/unlocking the vehicle with the remote trans-
mitter or with the key at the driver's door. The key
must be held in the locking position for more than
two seconds. Activation is indicated by the turn sig-
nal lights flashing once. Unlocking the vehicle at one
of the other doors will trigger an alarm.
The interior monitoring system included in the
anti-theft alarm is based on ultrasonics and triggersan alarm if an object intrudes the interior of the
vehicle or if any movement is detected inside the
vehicle. For proper and effective protection, all win-
dows and the sunroof must be closed.
To switch off the interior monitoring system and /
or the anti-tow away protection, a switch with LED
indicator light is provided in the switch panel. An
alarm button enables the operator to trigger an
alarm manually and to lock all doors if they are
closed. Triggering an alarm makes the horn sound
and the turn signals flash until the alarm is switched
off.
The anti-theft alarm control unit includes a gradi-
ent indicator as anti-tow away protection. The gradi-
ent indicator triggers an audible and visual alarm if
the vehicle is lifted (to tow away or to remove the
wheels). The alarm remains effective even if the bat-
tery is disconnected as the horn is powered by its
own battery. The interior monitoring system should
be switched off if people and/or animals are left in
the vehicle.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - VEHICLE THEFT
SECURITY
Any diagnosis of the Vehicle Theft Security
system should begin with the use of a diagnos-
tic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnos-
tic information.
INTRUSION SENSOR
REMOVAL

TRANSPONDER KEY
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) which
communicates with the Sentry Key Remote Entry
Module (SKREEM), uses a transponder chip that is
integral to each key fob (Fig. 6). Ignition keys are
supplied with the vehicle when it is shipped from the
factory. The transponder chip is located within the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) fob.
OPERATION
Each Sentry Key has a unique transponder identi-
fication code permanently programmed into it by the
manufacturer. Likewise, the Sentry Key Remote
Entry Module (SKREEM) has a unique ªSecret Key9
code programmed into it by the manufacturer as
well. When a Sentry Key is programmed into the
memory of the SKREEM, the SKREEM stores the
transponder identification code from the Sentry Key,
and the Sentry Key learns the ªSecret Keyº code
from the SKREEM. Once the Sentry Key learns the
ªSecret Keyº code of the SKREEM, it is also perma-
nently programmed into the transponder's memory.
The Sentry Key's transponder is within the range
of the SKREEM's transponder ring when it is
inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. When the
ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the
SKREEM communicates with the Sentry Key via a
radio frequency (RF) signal. The SKREEM deter-
mines if a valid key is present based on the informa-
tion it receives from the Sentry Key. If a valid key is
detected, that fact is communicated to the Engine
Control Module (ECM) via the Controller Area Net-
work (CAN) data bus and the vehicle is allowed to
continue running. If an invalid key is received by theECM or no status at all is communicated, the vehicle
will stall after two (2) seconds of running. The indi-
cator light will be flashing at this point. The Sentry
Key's transponder can not be repaired. If it is faulty
or damaged, it must be replaced.
Common communication problems:
²Two transponder keys too close together.
²Speed Pass too close to transponder key.
Solid indicator that there is a system failure.
²Loss of ECM communication.
²Failed transponder ring circuit.
