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
RSRESTRAINTS8O-5
RESTRAINTS (Continued)

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.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AIRBAG SYSTEM
(1) With the battery negative remote cable discon-
nected, connect the scan tool to the Data Link Con-
nector (DLC).
(2) Turn the ignition key to the ON position, then
exit vehicle with the scan tool.
(3) After checking that no one is inside the vehicle,
connect the battery negative remote terminal.
(4) Read and record theACTIVEDiagnostic Trou-
ble Code (DTC) data.
(5) Read and record anySTOREDDTC's.
(6) Refer to the proper diagnostic information if
any DTC's are found in Step 4 and Step 5.
(7) If the airbag warning lamp either fails to light,
or goes ON and stays ON, there is a system malfunc-
tion. To test the airbag warning lamp (bulb) opera-
tion in the cluster (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/

sonal injury or death may result if the system test
is not performed first.
All other seat belts should be closely inspected for
cuts, tears, fraying, or damage in any way following
any frontal impact or airbag deployment. The other
seat belts are to be replaced when visible damage is
incurred. Inspect the Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren (LATCH) child restraint anchors for dam-
age after an impact event and replace as needed.
CLEAN UP PROCEDURE
Roll or fold the airbag towards its mounting point
(i.e. instrument panel, steering wheel, knee blocker,curtain, or seat back). Then tape the ripped cover
over the deployed airbag if applicable.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any residual pow-
der from the vehicle interior. Work from the outside
in to avoid kneeling or sitting in a contaminated
area. Vacuum the heater and A/C outlets as well (Fig.
4). If the heater or air conditioner was in RECIRC
mode at time of airbag deployment, operate blower
motor on low speed and vacuum powder residue
expelled from the heater and A/C outlets. Multiple
vacuum cleaning may be necessary to decontaminate
the interior of the vehicle.

The second row seats have lower anchors for each
rear outboard seating position (Fig. 8). These anchors
are welded to the seat cushion frame. They are each
accessed from the front of their respective seats, at
each side where the seat back meets the seat cush-
ion. These lower anchors cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the seat must be
replaced as a unit.
WARNING: During, and following, any child restraint
anchor service, due to impact event or vehicle
repair, carefully inspect all mounting hardware,
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 with the seat assembly. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury or death.
REAR SEAT DELETE
If the vehicle is ordered without rear seats (rear
seat delete), then there will be a tether strap
included. This is to be looped under the second seat
anchor and then extended forward (Fig. 9) to clip to
the tether strap of the child seat in the front passen-
ger seat (Fig. 10). There will be no lower anchor
loops for child seat anchoring in the front passenger
seat. Use the seat belt for lower child seat attach-
ment in this instance.
OPERATION
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the proper use of all of the fac-
tory-installed child restraint anchors.
CLOCKSPRING
DESCRIPTION
The clockspring is mounted on the steering column
behind the steering wheel. It is used to maintain a
continuous electrical circuit between the wiring har-
ness and the drivers airbag.
The clockspring assembly is secured with two inte-
gral plastic latches onto the upper steering column
housing near the top of the steering column behind
the steering wheel. The clockspring consists of a flat,
round molded plastic case with a stubby tail that
hangs below the steering column. The tail contains
two connectors that face toward the instrument
panel. Within the plastic case is a spool-like molded
plastic rotor with a large exposed hub and several
plastic rollers.
A rubber bumper block is located on each side of
the tower formation that contains the connector
receptacle and pigtail wires on the upper surface of
the rotor hub. The lower surface of the rotor hub has
a molded plastic turn signal cancel cam with a single
lobe that is integral to the rotor. Within the plastic
case and wound around the rotor spool is a long rib-
bon-like tape that consists of several thin copper wire
leads sandwiched between two thin plastic mem-
branes. The outer end of the tape terminates at the
connector receptacles that face the instrument panel,
while the inner end of the tape terminates at the pig-
tail wires and connector receptacle on the hub of the
clockspring rotor that face the steering wheel.

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.

PASSENGER AIRBAG
DISABLED INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification
System (OCS) include a Passenger Airbag Disabled
(PAD) indicator (Fig. 40) which is located in the
instrument panel center stack, above the radio. The
PAD indicator is present only in vehicles equipped
with the OCS.The PAD indicator consists of a molded plastic
housing with an integral connector at the back. An
amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the lens
causes the ªPASS AIR BAG OFFº text and icon to
appear silhouetted against an amber field through
the translucent lens when the indicator is illumi-
nated from behind by the LED. The PAD indicator is
available for separate service replacement.
OPERATION
In vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classifica-
tion System (OCS), the Passenger Airbag Disabled
(PAD) indicator gives an indication when the passen-
ger airbag and seat belt tensioner deployment cir-
cuits are disabled by the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC). The PAD indicator is controlled by
a transistor within the ORC through a hard wired
output based upon ORC programming and electronic
occupant classification messages received by the ORC
over the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus from the Occupant Classification
Module (OCM). The PAD indicator Light Emitting
Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the ORC.
The LED receives a battery current input on the
fused ignition switch output (RUN/START) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the
ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is pro-
vided a path to ground by the ORC transistor. The
ORC will turn on the PAD indicator for the following
reasons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position the PAD indicator is illu-
minated for about six seconds.
²Child Seat Detected Occupant Classifica-
tion Message- Each time the ORC receives a mes-
sage from the OCM indicating a child seat has been
detected in the passenger front seat, the passenger
airbag and seat belt tensioner deployment circuits
are deactivated and the PAD indicator will be illumi-
nated. The indicator remains illuminated until the
ORC receives an occupant classification message
indicating that:
²The passenger front seat is 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.
²Load Less Than Fifth Percentile Female
Occupant Classification Message- Each time the
ORC receives a message from the OCM indicating
that a load less than a fifth percentile female has
been detected in the passenger front seat, the pas-
senger airbag and seat belt tensioner deployment cir-
cuits are deactivated and the PAD indicator will be
illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until:
