DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

ACM monitors the system to determine the system
readiness. The ACM contains on-board diagnostics
and will light the AIRBAG warning lamp in the mes-
sage center when a problem occurs.
The driver and passenger airbag system is a safety
device designed to reduce the risk of fatality or seri-
ous injury, caused by a frontal impact of the vehicle.
The impact sensor provides verification of the
direction and severity of the impact. One impact sen-
sor is used. It is located inside the Airbag Control
Module (ACM) which is mounted on a bracket, just
forward of the center console. The impact sensor is
an accelerometer that senses deceleration. The decel-
eration pulses are sent to a microprocessor which
contains a decision algorithm. When an impact is
severe enough to require airbag protection, the ACM
micro processor sends a signal that completes the
electrical circuit to the driver and passenger airbags.
The sensor is calibrated for the specific vehicle and
reacts to the severity and direction of the impact.
CLOCKSPRING
The clockspring is snapped into a plastic mounting
platform on the steering column behind the steering
wheel. The clockspring is used to maintain a contin-
uous electrical circuit between the wiring harness
and the driver's airbag module. This assembly con-
sists of a flat ribbon like electrically conductive tape
which winds and unwinds with the steering wheel
rotation.
DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULES
The Driver Airbag Module is located in the center
of the steering wheel. The Passenger Airbag Module
is located in the instrument panel above the glove
box (Fig. 1). The Driver Airbag Module cover contains
the horn switch, inflator device, and a fabric bag. The
airbag cover/horn switch is serviced separately from
the inflator and bag components. Refer to Group 8G,
Horns for proper service procedure for horn switch.
The Passenger Airbag Module is serviced as an
assembly.
WARNING: WHEN THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS
DEPLOYED BECAUSE OF A COLLISION, THE FOL-
LOWING MUST BE REPLACED:
²COMPLETE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY
²LOWER STEERING COUPLER
²STEERING WHEEL
²STEERING COLUMN CLOCKSPRING
²DRIVER AIRBAG COVER/HORN SWITCH
²DRIVER AIRBAG MODULE
²PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE

diagnostic code data.
(6) Read and record any stored diagnostic codes.
(7) Refer to the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures
Manual if any diagnostic codes are found in Step 5 or
Step 6.
(8) Erase stored diagnostic codes if there are no
active diagnostic codes. If problems remain, diagnos-
tic codes will not erase. Refer to the Passive
Restraint Diagnostic Test Manual to diagnose the
problem.If airbag warning lamp either fails to
light, or goes on and stays on, there is a system
malfunction. Refer to the proper Body Diagnos-
tic Procedures Manual to diagnose the problem.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
The electrically heated Rear Window Defogger (Fig.
1), Heated Power Side View Mirrors, and Heated
Windshield Wiper De-icer (Fig. 2) is available on NS
vehicles.
The Rear Window Defogger system consists of two
vertical bus bars linked by a series of grid lines on
the inside surface of the rear window. The electrical
circuit consists of the rear defogger switch in the
HVAC and a relay with timer switch to turn OFF the
system after ten minutes. The main feed circuit is
protected by fuse one (40 amp) in the Junction Block.
The rear defogger switch and relay also activates the
heated power side view mirrors and heated wind-
shield wiper de-icer. The HVAC rear defogger switch
is protected by fuse ten (10 amp) in the Junction
Block. The heated mirror circuit is protected by fuse
12 (10 amp) in the junction block. The heated wind-
shield wiper de-icer circuit is protected by fuse 21 (25
amp) in the Junction Block.
The Heated Windshield Wiper Deicer is also acti-
vated when the DEFROST mode is selected on the
HVAC. In the DEFROST mode the rear defogger
relay/timer is bypassed, the heated windshield wiper
de-icer will stay ON until the another mode is
selected. For circuit information and component loca-
tion refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams.
CAUTION: Since grid lines can be damaged or
scraped off with sharp instruments, care should be
taken in cleaning the glass or removing foreign
materials, decals or stickers. Normal glass cleaning
solvents or hot water used with rags or toweling is
recommended.
HVAC MOUNTED SWITCH
The rear window defogger switch is integrated into
the HVAC (Fig. 3). An LED indicator will illuminate
when the switch is activated. The switch energizesthe timing circuit and activates the rear window
defogger relay. The relay controls the current to flow
to the grids of the rear window defogger, heated
power side view mirrors and the heated windshield
wiper de-icer. The defogger relay will be on for
approximately 10 minutes or until the control switch
or ignition is turned off.

NSELECTRICALLY HEATED SYSTEMS 8N - 1

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
SYSTEM TEST
Electrically heated rear window defogger or the
heated windshield wiper deicer operation can be
checked on the vehicle in the following manner:
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(2) Using a ammeter on the battery, turn the rear
defogger control switch to the ON position, a distinct
increase in amperage draw should be noted.
(3) The rear window defogger or the heated wind-
shield wiper deicer operation can be checked by feel-
ing the glass. A distinct difference in temperature
between the grid lines and adjacent clear glass can
be detected in 3 to 4 minutes of operation.
(4) Using a DC voltmeter (Fig. 4) contact terminal
B with the negative lead, and terminal A with the
positive lead. The voltmeter should read 10-14 volts.
(5) Indicator light illumination means that there is
power available at the switch only and does not nec-
essarily verify system operation.
(6) If turning the defogger switch ON, no distinct
current draw on the ammeter the problem should be
isolated in the following manner:
²Confirm that ignition switch is ON.
²Ensure that the heated rear window or the
heated windshield wiper deicer feed pigtail is con-
nected to the wiring harness and that the ground
pigtail is in fact grounded.
²Ensure that the proper fuse in the Junction
Block is OK.(7) When the above steps have been completed and
the system is still inoperative, one or more of the fol-
lowing is defective:
²HVAC switch
²Rear window defogger relay in the relay bank.
²Check for loose connector or a wire pushed out
of connector.
²Rear window or the windshield grid lines (all
grid lines would have to be broken, or one of the feed
pigtails not connected to the bus bar, for no ammeter
deflection).
(8) If turning the switch ON produces severe volt-
meter deflection, the circuit should be closely checked
for a shorting condition.
(9) If the system operation has been verified but
indicator LED does not light, replace switch.
(10) For detailed wiring information, refer to
Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams.
GRID LINE TEST
The horizontal grid lines and vertical bus bar lines
printed and baked on inside surface of the window
glass makes up an electrical parallel circuit. The
electrically conductive lines are composed of a silver
ceramic material which when baked on glass
becomes bonded to the glass and is highly resistant
to abrasion. It is possible, however, that a break may
exist or occur in an individual grid line resulting in
no current flow through the line. To detect breaks in
grid lines, the following procedure is required:
(1) Turn ignition and rear window defogger control
switch ON. The indicator light should come on.
(2) Using a DC voltmeter with 0-15 volt range,
contact vertical bus bar connecting grid lines on pas-
senger side of vehicle at terminal A with negative
lead of voltmeter (Fig. 4). With positive lead of volt-
meter, contact vertical bus bar on driver side of vehi-
cle at terminal B. The voltmeter should read 10-14
volts.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

DOOR LOCK INHIBIT FEATURE
The BCM cancels out the door lock switch actua-
tion, when the key is in the Ignition Switch and a
door is open. After the key is removed from the Igni-
tion Switch, or the doors are closed, the power door
locks will operate normally.
SLIDING DOOR LOCK MEMORY FEATURE
The door locks on the sliding door(s) can be actu-
ated when the door(s) are closed. If the sliding
door(s) are open when the door locks are actuated,
the BCM will hold the lock command in memory
until the door(s) is closed. When the door is closed
and the door jamb terminals make contact, signaling
the BCM to lock the sliding door(s) automatically.
Actuating the door lock switch to the unlock position
before the sliding door(s) are closed will cancel the
lock request.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK SYSTEM TEST
When using a scan tool (DRB) for testing the auto-
matic door lock system, refer to the Body Diagnostic
Procedures Manual. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Dia-
grams for circuit information and component loca-
tions.
DOOR LOCK MOTOR
Verify battery condition before testing door lock
motor(s), refer to Group 8A, Battery for proper diag-
nosis procedures.
To determine which motor is faulty, check each
individual door for electrical lock and unlock or dis-
connect the motor connectors one at a time, while
operating the door lock switch. In the event that
none of the motors work, the problem may be caused
by a shorted motor, a relay or a bad switch. Discon-
necting the defective motor will allow the others to
work.
To test an individual door lock motor, disconnect
the electrical connector from the motor. To lock the
door, connect a 12 volt power source to the positive
pin of the lock motor and a ground wire to the other
pin (Fig. 1), (Fig. 2), (Fig. 3) and refer to Group 8W,
Wiring Diagrams for pin locations. To unlock the door
reverse the wire connections at the motor pin termi-
nals. If these results are NOT obtained, replace the
motor.
DOOR LOCK SWITCH TEST
(1) Remove door lock switch bezel assembly from
door. Refer to Group 23, Body for removal proce-
dures.
(2) Disconnect wire connector from back of door
lock switch.(3) Depress switch to LOCK position.
(4) Using an ohmmeter, test switch resistance
between Pins 2 and 3. Refer to Door Lock Switch
Test and (Fig. 4).
(5) Depress switch to UNLOCK position.
(6) Test resistance between Pins 2 and 3.
(7) If resistance values are not within the param-
eters shown replace the door lock switch.
