DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Frontal Impact Air-
bag System, which utilizes the driver/passenger air-
bags and seatbelt pretensioners. This system is
designed to protect occupants in the event of a front
impact collision. These airbags and seatbelt preten-
sioners are all serviceable parts. If these pyrotechnics
are deployed or defective, they must be replaced, as
well as the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
must be diagnosed following procedures outlined in
the service/diagnostic manuals.
Vehicles equipped with the Side Impact Airbag
System, the seat back assembly must be replaced, as
well as the Side Impact Airbag Control Module
(SIACM) must be diagnosed following procedures
outlined in the service/diagnostic manuals.
OPERATION
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) controls
the driver/passenger airbags and seatbelt pretension-
ers. If the ORC determines the impact is severe
enough, the driver/passenger airbags and seatbelt
pretensioners will inflate. Once a deployment occurs,
these devices, and all damaged parts must be
replaced, as well as the ORC must be diagnosed fol-
lowing procedures outlined in the service/diagnostic
manuals.
The Side Impact Airbag Control Module (SIACM),
the seat back assemblies and all damaged parts must
be replaced, as well as the SIACM must be diagnosed
following procedures outlined in the service/diagnos-
tic manuals.
WARNING
WARNING: THIS SYSTEM IS A SENSITIVE, COM-
PLEX ELECTRO±MECHANICAL UNIT. DISCONNECT
AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE CABLE
BEFORE BEGINNING AIRBAG SYSTEM COMPO-
NENT REMOVAL OR INSTALLATION PROCEDURES.
THIS WILL DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAIL-
URE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
ALLOW SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE FOR
TWO MINUTES BEFORE REMOVING AIRBAG COM-
PONENTS.
DO NOT PLACE AN INTACT UNDEPLOYED AIRBAG
FACE DOWN ON A SOLID SURFACE, THE AIRBAG
WILL PROPEL INTO THE AIR IF ACCIDENTALLY
DEPLOYED AND COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY. WHEN CARRYING OR HANDLING AN
UNDEPLOYED AIRBAG MODULE, THE TRIM SIDE
OF THE AIRBAG SHOULD BE POINTING AWAYFROM THE BODY TO MINIMIZE POSSIBILITY OF
INJURY IF ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT OCCURS.
REPLACE AIRBAG SYSTEM COMPONENTS WITH
MOPARTREPLACEMENT PARTS. SUBSTITUTE
PARTS MAY APPEAR INTERCHANGEABLE, BUT
INTERNAL DIFFERENCES MAY RESULT IN INFE-
RIOR OCCUPANT PROTECTION.
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 EXPE-
RIENCED. IF NASAL OR THROAT IRRITATION IS
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, IMPROPER
DEPLOYMENT AND PERSONAL INJURY CAN
RESULT.
THE FACTORY INSTALLED FASTENERS, SCREWS
AND BOLTS USED TO FASTEN AIRBAG COMPO-
NENTS HAVE A SPECIAL COATING AND ARE SPE-
CIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM.
DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTE FASTENERS, USE ONLY
ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT FASTENERS LISTED IN THE
PARTS CATALOG WHEN FASTENER REPLACE-
MENT IS REQUIRED.
CAUTION:
Deployed and Nondeployed Air Bags may or may
not have live pyrotechnic material within the air bag
inflator. Do not dispose of Driver and Passenger
Airbags unless you are sure of complete deploy-
ment. Please refer to the Hazardous Substance
Control System for Proper Disposal. Dispose of
deployed air bags in a manner consistent with
state, provincial, local, and federal regulations.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AIRBAG SYSTEM
(1) Connect a DRB llltscan tool to the Data Link
Connector (DLC), located at left side of the steering
column and at the lower edge of the lower instru-
ment panel.
(2) Turn the ignition key to ON position. Exit vehi-
cle with scan tool. Use the latest version of the
proper cartridge.
(3) After checking that no one is inside the vehicle,
connect the battery negative terminal.
(4) Using the DRB llltscan tool, read and record
active diagnostic code data.
(5) Read and record any stored diagnostic codes.

SEAT AIRBAG
DESCRIPTION
The side impact airbag system Seat Airbags are
located in the outboard side of the front seat backs.One in each front seat. The seat airbag inflator
assembly is within the airbag housing (Fig. 1). Each
airbag is mounted to the seat back frame. If deployed
or defective, the entire seat back assembly must be
replaced.
OPERATION
Only the Side Impact Airbag Control Module
(SIACM) can deploy the side airbags. When supplied
with the proper electrical signal, the seat airbag
inflator will produce a gas and discharge the bag
directly between the occupant and the side of the
vehicle, protecting the occupant. Upon deployment,
the seat back trim cover will tear open and allow the
side airbag to fully inflate and quickly deflate.

SEAT BELT TENSIONER
DESCRIPTION
The seat belt system incorporates Seat Belt Ten-
sioners. The tensioner is designed to hold the occu-
pant in their respective seat by retracting the seat
belt up to four inches. They are integral to the front
seat belt buckles and cannot be serviced. If found
defective they must be replaced. After an airbag
deployment, the tensioner must be replaced.
OPERATION
At the onset of an impact event, each tensioner
uses a pyrotechnic device which is triggered simulta-
neously with the airbags to rapidly retract the seat
belts. With the slack removed, the occupant's forward
motion in an impact will be reduced as will the like-
lihood of contacting interior components. After an
impact that deploys the airbags, the seat belt ten-
sioner assembly must be replaced.
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors
the seat belt tensioner circuit resistance and reports
active and stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) if
any problem is found.
