SEAT BELT SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The seat belt switch for this model is actually a
Hall Effect-type sensor. This sensor consists of a
fixed-position, Hall Effect Integrated Circuit (IC) chip
and a small permanent magnet that are integral to
each front seat belt buckle. The front seat belt buck-
les are each located on a stamped steel stanchion
within a molded plastic scabbard and secured with a
screw to the floor panel transmission tunnel on the
inboard side of each front seat cushion (Fig. 40). Theseat belt switches are connected to the vehicle elec-
trical system through a two-lead pigtail wire and
connector on the seat belt buckle-half, which is con-
nected to a wire harness connector and take out of
the body wire harness on vehicles with manual seat
adjusters, or to a connector and take out of the power
seat wire harness on vehicles with power seat adjust-
ers. A radio noise suppression capacitor is connected
in parallel with the IC where the two pigtail wire
leads connect to the IC pins.
The seat belt switch cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, the entire seat belt buckle-
half unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The seat belt switches are designed to provide a
status signal to the seat belt switch sense inputs of
the Airbag Control Module (ACM) indicating whether
the front seat belts are fastened. The ACM uses the
seat belt switch inputs as a factor in determining
what level of force with which it should deploy the
multistage driver and passenger airbags. In addition,
the ACM sends electronic messages to the ElectroMe-
chanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) to control the
seat belt indicator based upon the status of the
driver side front seat belt switch. A spring-loaded
slide with a small window-like opening is integral to
the buckle latch mechanism. When a seat belt tip-
half is inserted and latched into the seat belt buckle,
the slide is pushed downward and the window of the
slide exposes the Hall Effect Integrated Circuit (IC)
chip within the buckle to the field of the permanent
magnet, which induces a current within the chip.
The chip provides this induced current as an output
to the ACM, which monitors the current to determine
the status of the front seat belts. When the seat belt
is unbuckled, the spring-loaded slide moves upward
and shields the IC from the field of the permanent
magnet, causing the output current from the seat
belt switch to be reduced.
The seat belt switch receives a supply current from
the ACM, and the ACM senses the status of the front
seat belts through its pigtail wire connection to the
airbag overlay wire harness. The ACM monitors the
condition of the seat belt switch circuits and will illu-
minate the airbag indicator in the EMIC then store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that is
detected in either seat belt switch circuit. For proper
diagnosis of the seat belt switches, a DRBIIItscan
tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.

IOD WIRE HARNESS
CONNECTOR
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) connector that is located in a molded
connector receptacle on the lower rear surface of the
Junction Block (JB) housing (Fig. 17). The JB is con-
cealed above the molded plastic instrument panel
fuse cover. Integral latches molded into the fuse
cover secure it the JB, the Body Control Module
(BCM) and the 16-way data link connector tab of the
instrument panel steering column support bracket.
The fuse cover can be pulled downward to disengage
the latches and provide service access to all of the
fuses, relays and wire harness connectors of the JB.
Refer toInstrument Panel Fuse Coverin the
index of this service manual for the location of addi-
tional service information covering the fuse cover.
OPERATION
The term ignition-off draw identifies a normal con-
dition where power is being drained from the battery
with the ignition switch in the Off position. The IOD
connector feeds the memory and sleep mode func-
tions for some of the electronic modules in the vehicleas well as various other accessories that require bat-
tery current when the ignition switch is in the Off
position, including the clock.
The IOD connector can be used by the vehicle
owner as a convenient means of reducing battery
depletion when a vehicle is to be stored for periods
not to exceed about twenty days (short-term storage).
Simply disconnect the IOD connector from the JB
receptacle. However, it must be remembered that dis-
connecting the IOD connector will not eliminate IOD,
but only reduce this normal condition. When a vehi-
cle will not be used for more than twenty days, but
less than thirty days, remove the IOD fuse from the
Power Distribution Center (PDC). If a vehicle will be
stored for more than about thirty days, the battery
negative cable should be disconnected to eliminate
normal IOD; and, the battery should be tested and
recharged at regular intervals during the vehicle
storage period to prevent the battery from becoming
discharged or damaged. Refer toIgnition-Off Draw

CYLINDER HEAD
DESCRIPTION
The cylinder head is made of cast iron containing
twelve valves made of chrome plated heat resistant
steel, valve stem seals, springs, retainers and keep-
ers. The cylinder head and valve seats can be resur-
faced for service purposes.
The valve guides are integral to the cylinder head,
They are not replaceable. However, they are service-
able.
The cylinder head uses dual quench-type design
combustion chambers which cause turbulence in the
cylinders allowing faster burning of the air/fuel mix-
ture, resulting in better fuel economy (Fig. 8).

NOTE: This procedure can be done with the engine
in or out of the vehicle.
(1) Disconnect the battery negative cable.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE CYLINDER
