side of the rotor hub also serves as an integral
molded plastic turn signal cancel cam.
A single connector receptacle on the upper surface
of the rotor has pigtail wires that connect to the horn
switch and the driver airbag on the steering wheel,
while a single connector receptacle on the lower sur-
face of the case has pigtail wires that connect the
clockspring to the vehicle wire harness on the steer-
ing column. Within the plastic case and wound
around the rotor spool is a long ribbon-like tape that
consists of several thin copper wire leads sandwiched
between two thin plastic membranes. The outer end
of the tape terminates at the connector receptacle
that faces the steering column, while the inner end of
the tape terminates at the connector receptacle on
the hub of the clockspring rotor that faces the steer-
ing wheel.
Service replacement clocksprings are shipped pre-
centered and with the mounting screws backed out
from the case far enough to engage the access holes
in the upper surface of the rotor. The mounting
screws secure the centered clockspring rotor to the
clockspring case during shipment, but allow free
rotation of the rotor once the clockspring is properly
installed on the steering column. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/RESTRAINTS/CLOCKSPRING - STAN-
DARD PROCEDURE - CLOCKSPRING
CENTERING).
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 vehicle wire harness
and the electrical components mounted on or in the
rotating steering wheel. On this model the rotating
electrical components include the driver airbag and
the horn switch. The clockspring case is positioned
and secured to the multi-function switch housing
near the top of the steering column. The connector
receptacle on the underside of the fixed clockspring
case connects the clockspring to the vehicle electrical
system through two take outs with connectors from
the vehicle wire harness.
The clockspring rotor is movable and is keyed by
integral molded ribs on the inner circumference of
the rotor hub to the splines on the external circum-
ference of the upper steering column shaft. The two
integral lobes of the turn signal cancel cam formation
on the lower surface of the clockspring rotor hub con-
tact the turn signal cancel actuator of the multi-func-
tion switch to provide automatic turn signal
cancellation. The yellow sleeved pigtail wire on the
upper surface of the clockspring rotor connects the
clockspring to the driver airbag, while two single pig-
tail wires connect to the feed and ground terminals ofthe horn switch located within the hub cavity of the
steering wheel.
Like the clockspring in a timepiece, 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 clockspring indexes
the clockspring tape to the movable steering compo-
nents so that the tape can operate within 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 relative to the
movable steering components. The clockspring must
be re-centered following completion of this service or
the tape may be damaged.
Service replacement clocksprings are shipped pre-
centered and with the mounting screws backed out
from the case far enough to engage the access holes
in the upper surface of the rotor. The mounting
screws secure the centered clockspring rotor to the
clockspring case during shipment, but allow free
rotation of the rotor once the clockspring is properly
installed on the steering column. The clockspring
mounting screws should not be tightened into the
clockspring case until the clockspring has been
installed on the steering column. If the screws are
tightened into or removed from the case before the
clockspring is installed on a steering column, the
clockspring centering procedure must be performed.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/CLOCK-
SPRING - STANDARD PROCEDURE - CLOCK-
SPRING CENTERING).
STANDARD PROCEDURE - CLOCKSPRING
CENTERING
The clockspring is designed to wind and unwind
when the steering wheel is rotated, but is only
designed to rotate the same number of turns (about
six to seven complete rotations) as the steering wheel
can be turned from stop to stop. Centering the clock-
spring indexes the clockspring tape to other steering
components so that it can operate within its designed
travel limits. The rotor of a centered clockspring can
be rotated three to three and one-half turns in either
direction from the centered position, without damag-
ing the clockspring tape.
However, if the clockspring is removed for service
or if the steering column is disconnected from the
steering gear, the clockspring tape can change posi-
tion relative to the other steering components. The
clockspring must then be re-centered following com-
pletion of such service or the clockspring tape may be
damaged. Service replacement clocksprings are
shipped pre-centered and with the mounting screws
backed out from the case far enough to engage the
VARESTRAINTS 8O - 13
access holes in the upper surface of the rotor (Fig.
15). The clockspring mounting screws should not be
tightened into the clockspring case until the clock-
spring has been installed on the steering column. If
the screws are tightened into or removed from the
case before the clockspring is installed on a steering
column, the clockspring centering procedure must be
performed.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on
vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supple-
mental restraint system before attempting any
steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt
tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel com-
ponent diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate
the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two
minutes for the system capacitor to discharge
before performing further diagnosis or service. This
is the only sure way to disable the supplemental
restraint system. Failure to take the proper precau-
tions could result in accidental airbag deploy-
ment.
NOTE: Before starting this procedure, be certain to
turn the steering wheel until the front wheels are in
the straight-ahead position.
(1) Place the front wheels in the straight-ahead
position.
(2) Remove the clockspring from the steering col-
umn. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/
CLOCKSPRING - REMOVAL).
(3) Tighten the two clockspring mounting screws
all the way into the clockspring case.
(4) Rotate the clockspring rotor counterclockwise
to the end of its travel.Do not apply excessive
torque.(5) From the end of the counterclockwise travel,
rotate the rotor about three to three and one-half
turns clockwise, until the clearance holes in the
clockspring rotor are aligned with the two mounting
screws in the clockspring case. The clockspring is
now centered.
(6) Loosen the two clockspring mounting screws
far enough so that they extend into the clearance
holes in the upper surface of the clockspring rotor,
preventing the rotor from changing position relative
to the clockspring case.
(7) The front wheels should still be in the straight-
ahead position. Reinstall the clockspring onto the
steering column. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RE-
STRAINTS/CLOCKSPRING - INSTALLATION).
REMOVAL
The clockspring cannot be repaired. It must be
replaced if faulty or damaged, or if the driver airbag
has been deployed.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on
vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supple-
mental restraint system before attempting any
steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt
tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel com-
ponent diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate
the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two
minutes for the system capacitor to discharge
before performing further diagnosis or service. This
is the only sure way to disable the supplemental

DRIVER AIRBAG
DESCRIPTION
The color-keyed, injection molded, thermoplastic
driver airbag protective trim cover is the most visible
part of the driver airbag (Fig. 18). The driver airbag
is located in the center of the steering wheel, where
it is secured with two screws to the armature of the
horn switch within the hub cavity of the four-spoke
steering wheel. Concealed beneath the driver airbag
trim cover are the folded airbag cushion, the airbag
cushion retainer, the airbag housing, the airbag infla-
tor, and the retainers that secure the inflator to the
airbag housing (Fig. 19). The airbag cushion, hous-
ing, and inflator are secured within an integral
receptacle molded into the back of the trim cover.

The airbag used in this model is a Next Genera-
tion-type that complies with revised federal airbag
standards to deploy with less force than those used
in some prior models. A radial deploying fabric cush-
ion with internal tethers is used. The airbag inflator
is a solid fuel, pyrotechnic-type unit with four studs
and is secured by four hex nuts to four studs on the
airbag cushion retainer ring to the back of the
stamped metal airbag housing. A keyed connector
receptacle on the driver airbag inflator connects the
inflator initiator to the vehicle electrical system
through a yellow-jacketed, two-wire pigtail harness of
the clockspring.
The driver airbag and trim cover unit cannot be
repaired, and must be replaced if deployed, faulty, or
in any way damaged.
OPERATION
The driver airbag is deployed by electrical signals
generated by the Airbag Control Module (ACM)
through the driver airbag squib circuit to the initia-
tor in the airbag inflator (Fig. 20). When the ACM
sends the proper electrical signal to the initiator the
electrical energy generates enough heat to initiate a
small pyrotechnic charge which, in turn, ignites
chemical pellets within the inflator. Once ignited,
these chemical pellets burn rapidly and produce a
large quantity of inert gas. The inflator is sealed to
the back of the airbag housing and a diffuser in the
inflator directs all of the inert gas into the airbag
cushion, causing the cushion to inflate. As the cush-
ion inflates, the driver airbag trim cover will split at
predetermined breakout lines, then fold back out of
the way. Following an airbag deployment, the airbag
cushion quickly deflates by venting the inert gas
towards the instrument panel through filtered vents
within the fabric used to construct the back (steering
wheel side) panel of the airbag cushion.
Some of the chemicals used to create the inert gas
may be considered hazardous while in their solid
state before they are burned, but they are securely

(3) Pull the driver airbag away from the steering
wheel far enough to access the electrical connection
at the back of the airbag housing.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the clockspring pigtail
wires to disengage the connector from the driver
airbag inflator connector receptacle. Improper
removal of these pigtail wires and their connector
insulator can result in damage to the airbag circuits
or the connector insulator.
(4) The clockspring driver airbag pigtail wire con-
nector is a tight snap-fit into the airbag inflator con-
nector receptacle, which is located on the back of the
driver airbag housing. Firmly grasp and pull or gen-
tly pry on the connector insulator and pull the con-
nector straight out from the airbag inflator to
disconnect it from the connector receptacle.
(5) Remove the driver airbag from the steering
wheel.
(6) If the driver airbag has been deployed, the
clockspring and the steering wheel must also be
replaced. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/
CLOCKSPRING - REMOVAL) and (Refer to 19 -
STEERING/COLUMN/STEERING WHEEL -
REMOVAL).
INSTALLATION
The following procedure is for replacement of a
faulty or damaged driver airbag. If the airbag is
faulty or damaged, but not deployed, review the rec-
ommended procedures for handling non-deployed
supplemental restraints. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
RESTRAINTS - STANDARD PROCEDURE - HAN-
DLING NON-DEPLOYED SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINTS). If the driver airbag has been
deployed, review the recommended procedures for
service after a supplemental restraint deploymentbefore removing the airbag from the vehicle. (Refer to
8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS - STANDARD PRO-
CEDURE - SERVICE AFTER A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT DEPLOYMENT).
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on
vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supple-
mental restraint system before attempting any
steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt
tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel com-
ponent diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate
the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two
minutes for the system capacitor to discharge
before performing further diagnosis or service. This
is the only sure way to disable the supplemental
restraint system. Failure to take the proper precau-
tions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, use
extreme care to prevent any foreign material from
entering the driver airbag, or becoming entrapped
between the driver airbag cushion and the driver
airbag trim cover. Failure to observe this warning
could result in occupant injuries upon airbag
deployment.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, the
driver airbag trim cover must never be painted.
Replacement airbags are serviced with trim covers
in the original colors. Paint may change the way in
which the material of the trim cover responds to an
airbag deployment. Failure to observe this warning
could result in occupant injuries upon airbag
deployment.

(2) When installing the driver airbag, reconnect
the clockspring driver airbag pigtail wire connector
to the airbag inflator connector receptacle by press-
ing straight in on the connector (Fig. 21). You can be
certain that the connector is fully engaged by listen-
ing carefully for a distinct, audible click as the con-
nector snaps into place.
(3) Carefully position the driver airbag in the
steering wheel. Be certain that the clockspring pig-
tail wire and horn switch wires in the steering wheel
hub area are not pinched between the driver airbag
and the horn switch armature.
(4) From the underside of the steering wheel,
install and tighten the two screws that secure the
driver airbag to the horn switch armature within the
hub cavity of the steering wheel. Tighten the screws
to 6 N´m (53 in. lbs.).
(5) Do not reconnect the battery negative cable at
this time. The supplemental restraint system verifi-
cation test procedure should be performed following
service of any supplemental restraint system compo-
nent. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS -
STANDARD PROCEDURE - VERIFICATION TEST).
FRONT SEAT BELT & RETRAC-
TOR
REMOVAL
The following procedure is for replacement of a
faulty or damaged front seat belt and retractor unit,
which includes a seat belt tensioner for the driver
side as standard equipment. Vehicles equipped with
an optional passenger airbag also have a seat belt
tensioner for the passenger side. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/RESTRAINTS/SEAT BELT TENSIONER -
DESCRIPTION). If the seat belt or retractor is faulty
or damaged, but the seat belt tensioner is not
deployed, review the recommended procedures for
handling non-deployed supplemental restraints.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS - STAN-
DARD PROCEDURE - HANDLING NON-DE-
PLOYED SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINTS). If the
seat belt tensioner has been deployed, review the rec-
ommended procedures for service after a supplemen-
tal restraint deployment before removing the front
seat belt and retractor from the vehicle. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE - SERVICE AFTER A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT DEPLOYMENT).
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on
vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supple-mental restraint system before attempting any
steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt
tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel com-
ponent diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate
the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two
minutes for the system capacitor to discharge
before performing further diagnosis or service. This
is the only sure way to disable the supplemental
restraint system. Failure to take the proper precau-
tions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, during
and following any seat belt service, carefully
inspect all seat belts, buckles, mounting hardware,
retractors, and anchors for proper installation, oper-
ation, or damage. Replace any belt that is cut,
frayed, or torn. Straighten any belt that is twisted.
Tighten any loose fasteners. Replace any belt that
has a damaged or inoperative buckle or retractor.
Replace any belt that has a bent or damaged latch

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
