SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG
CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The side airbag system is a safety devise designed
to reduce the risk of fatality or serious injury, caused
by a side impact of the vehicle.
Vehicles equipped with side impact airbags use two
Side Impact Airbag Control Modules (SIACM). One is
located on each respective side body B-pillar. Each
contains an impact sensor that senses a side impact
occurrence. The SIACM communicates with the ORC
via the PCI bus in order to notify the driver of any
potential side airbag system problem.
OPERATION
The impact sensor provides verification of the
direction and severity of the side impact. The right
side SIACM controls the right seat airbag. The left
side SIACM controls the left seat airbag. In the event
of a side impact the appropriate SIACM will send an
electronic signal to its airbag, deploying the airbag.
The SIACM communicates with the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) via the PCI bus circuit.
The accelerometer pulses are sent to a micropro-
cessor, which contains a decision algorithm. When an
impact is severe enough to require airbag protection,
the SIACM microprocessor sends a signal to deploy
the side airbag that completes the electrical circuits
to the right or left side airbag. The sensor is cali-
brated for the specific vehicle and reacts to the sever-
ity and direction of the impact.
REMOVAL
NOTE: Diagnose the SIACM using the service/diag-
nostic manual.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable terminal.
(2) Remove the lower B-pillar trim from the appro-
priate side of the vehicle. Refer to Body, Interior,

SPEED CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
The speed control system is electronically con-
trolled and vacuum operated. The electronic control
is integrated into the Powertrain Control Module.
The controls are located on the steering wheel. The
ON/OFF, and SET buttons are located on the left side
of the airbag module. The RESUME/ACCEL, CAN-
CEL and COAST buttons are located on the right
side of the airbag module (Fig. 1).The system is designed to operate at speeds above
30 mph (48 km/h).
WARNING: THE USE OF SPEED CONTROL IS NOT
RECOMMENDED WHEN DRIVING CONDITIONS DO
NOT PERMIT MAINTAINING A CONSTANT SPEED,
SUCH AS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON ROADS THAT
ARE WINDING, ICY, SNOW COVERED, OR SLIP-
PERY.
OPERATION
OPERATION
When speed control is activated by depressing the
ON switch, the PCM allows a set speed to be stored
in RAM for speed control. To store a set speed,
depress and release the SET switch while the vehicle
is moving at a speed between 25 and 85 mph. In
order for the speed control to engage, the brakes can-
not be applied, nor can the gear selector be indicat-
ing the transmission is in Park or Neutral. The speed
control can be disengaged manually by:
²Stepping on the brake pedal
²Depressing the OFF switch
²Depressing the CANCEL switch.

SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
There are two separate switch pods that operate
the speed control system and are located on the
steering wheel.
OPERATION
The speed control system has five separate resis-
tive switches that provide a single multiplexed
(MUX) voltage inputs to the PCM.The switch names
are: ON, OFF, SET, COAST, RESUME, ACCEL, TAP-
UP, COAST, and CANCEL. Based on conditions when
the buttons are pushed (and released), the five volt-
ages ranges provided to the PCM result in the follow-
ing functions: ON, OFF, SET, COAST, RESUME,
ACCEL, TAP-UP, TAP-DOWN, COAST, and CAN-
CEL. Refer to the Speed Control Section for more
information
Also the PCM receives an input from the brake
switch to sense whether the brake pedal has been
depressed. When the PCM receives the brake
depressed input, it turns off power to the speed con-
trol servo and disengages speed control. Also the
power to the servo is supplied through the brake
switch, which opens the circuit when the brake pedal
is depressed.
The individual switches cannot be repaired. If one
switch fails, the entire switch module must be
replaced.
REMOVAL
The speed control switches are mounted in the
steering wheel and wired through the clock spring
device under the airbag module.
WARNING: IF REMOVAL OF AIRBAG MODULE IS

TRANSPONDER KEY
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) uses a
transponder chip that is integral to each ignition key
(Fig. 1) to communicate with the Sentry Key Immo-
bilizer Module (SKIM). Ignition keys are supplied
with the vehicle when it is shipped from the factory.
The transponder chip is undermolded within the
head of the key. This undermold is hidden beneath
an overmolded rubber cap.
OPERATION
Each Sentry Key has a unique transponder identi-
fication code permanently programmed into it by the
manufacturer. Likewise, the SKIM has a unique
9Secret Key9code programmed into it by the manu-
facturer as well. When a Sentry Key is programmed
into the memory of the SKIM, the SKIM stores the
transponder identification code from the Sentry Key,
and the Sentry Key learns the9Secret Key9code from
the SKIM. Once the Sentry Key learns the9Secret
Key9code of the SKIM, it is also permanently pro-
grammed into the transponder's memory. Therefore,
blank keys for the SKIS must be programmed by the

HEADLAMP WASHERS -
EXPORT
DESCRIPTION
The headlamp washers (Fig. 3) work in conjunction
with the windshield washers. The headlamp washers
are enabled with the headlamps ON and the wind-
shield washers activated. With the windshield wash-
ers activated, the headlamp washers will spray twice
for a predetermined amount of time.
OPERATION
The headlamp washer system utilizes a separate
high pressure pump that is attached to the wind-
shield washer reservoir. The headlamp washer pump
feeds nozzles that are mounted in the front fascia of
the vehicle. The nozzle bodies have a telescopic
action that will extend the nozzles in front of the
headlamp assembly. These nozzles spray the head-
lamps when the system is activated.
To activate the headlamp washers, turn ON the
headlamps and them press the windshield washer
control knob (Fig. 4). The switch sends an input to
the Body Control Module (BCM), and then the BCM
will signal the windshield washers to operate and
direct two timed high pressure sprays onto the head-
lamp lens. When the criteria is met to activate the
headlamp washers (headlamps ON and windshield
washer control depressed), the headlamp washerswill spray its two timed pulses every fourth request
from the washer control.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEADLAMP

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING
DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are
designed to provide information regarding the vehi-
cles wiring content. In order to effectively use the
wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important
to understand all of their features and characteris-
tics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+)
side of the circuit is placed near the top of the page,
and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near
the bottom of the page (Fig. 1).
All switches, components, and modules are shown
in the at rest position with the doors closed and the
key removed from the ignition (Fig. 2).Components are shown two ways. A solid line
around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indi-
cates that the component is being shown is not com-
plete. Incomplete components have a reference
number to indicate the page where the component is
shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made
on the diagrams to represent components and wiring
as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short
piece of wire is treated the same as a long one. In
addition, switches and other components are shown
as simply as possible, with regard to function only.
SYMBOLS
International symbols are used throughout the wir-
ing diagrams. These symbols are consistent with
those being used around the world (Fig. 3).
