POWER WINDOWS
DESCRIPTION
The Power Window System is activated through
switches mounted on the driver and passenger door
panels.
OPERATION
Front door window lift motors use permanent type
magnets. The B+ and ground applied at the motor ter-
minal pins will cause the motor to rotate in one direc-
tion. Reversing current through the motor terminals
will cause the motor to rotate in the opposite direction.
The power window motors ground through the
master switch in the driver door by a black wire
attached to the left cowl panel. Refer to the appropri-
ate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector
repair procedures, details of wire harness routing
and retention, connector pin-out information and
location views for the various wire harness connec-
tors, splices and grounds.
The power rear vent windows, if equipped, are oper-
ated by switches mounted in the driver door switch
bezel. A separate switch is used for each window. Per-
manent magnet type motors connected to a crank sys-
tem are used to open and close the rear vent windows.
A battery positive and negative connection to either of
the two motor terminals will cause the motor to rotate
in one direction. Reversing current through these same
two connections will cause the motor to rotate in the
opposite direction. Refer to the appropriate wiring infor-
mation. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connector
pin-out information and location views for the various
wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.

POWER WINDOW MOTOR TEST
If the power window motor is receiving proper cur-
rent and ground and does not operate, proceed with
motor test. Refer to the appropriate wiring informa-
tion. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connec-
tor pin-out information and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
(1) Remove front door trim panel and sound pad as
necessary to gain access to power window motor wire
connector, (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/
TRIM PANEL - REMOVAL).
(2) Disconnect power window motor wire connector
from door harness.

tery (+) source and the other to a good ground (-).
(4) Connect the Negative (-) jumper probe to one of
the motor connector terminals.
(5) Momentarily touch the Positive (+) jumper
probe to the other motor connector terminal.
When positive probe is connected the motor should
rotate in one direction to either move window up or
down. If window is all the way up or down the motor
will grunt and the inner door panel will flex when
actuated in that one direction.
(6) Reverse jumper probes at the motor connector
terminals and window should now move in opposite
direction. If window does not move or grunt, replace
the motor.
If window moved completely up or down, reverse
the jumper probes and cycle window to the opposite
position to verify full operation.
If motor grunts and does not move, verify that reg-
ulator is not binding.

POWER FOLDAWAY MIRROR
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
These vehicles may be equipped with Power Fold-
away Mirrors. This feature allows both the driver
and passenger side view mirrors to fold inward
(retract) on demand. The vehicle has an additional
switch located on the steering column that controls
the folding function of the mirror assembly (Fig. 1).
The fold-away side view mirror is attached to the
vehicle's door in the same manner as mirrors without
the fold-away option. The fold-away mirrors unique
option is the internal motor which allows the mirrors
to fold inward on demand. The fold-away mirror
motor is not serviceable separately and if a motor is
found to be faulty the entire side view mirror must
be replaced.
OPERATION
When the mirror retract switch is depressed, both
of the side view mirrors will fold inward, Thus mak-
ing the overall width of the vehicle the smallest pos-sible. This can be helpful were parking space is a
absolute minimum.
When the driver's door is opened, only the driver's
door mirror will unfold. If the passenger door is
opened, both mirrors will unfold.
The power fold away mirror system consists of the
following components: mirror switch, side view mir-
ror, relay, wires and fuse. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information. The wiring information includes
wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair
procedures, details of wire harness routing and
retention, connector pin-out information and location
views for the various wire harness connectors, splices
and grounds.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT
CONTROLLER
DESCRIPTION
The front driver and passenger airbag system is
designed to reduce the risk of fatality or serious
injury, caused by a frontal impact of the vehicle.
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) contains
the impact sensor and energy reserve capacitor. It is
mounted on a bracket, under the instrument panel,
just forward of the storage bin. The ORC monitors
the system to determine the system readiness. The
ORC contains on-board diagnostics and will light the
AIRBAG warning lamp in the message center when a
problem occurs.
OPERATION
The impact sensor provides verification of the
direction and severity of the impact. One impact sen-
sor is used. It is located inside the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC). The impact sensor is an
accelerometer that senses deceleration. The decelera-
tion pulses are sent to a microprocessor which con-
tains a decision algorithm. When an impact is severe
enough to require airbag protection, the ORC micro-
processor sends a signal that completes the electrical
circuit to the driver and passenger airbags. The
impact sensor is calibrated for the specific vehicle
and reacts to the severity and direction of an impact.
REMOVAL
(1)Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
(2) Remove storage bin from instrument panel.
Refer to Body, Instrument Panel, Storage Bin,
Removal.
(3) Remove three bolts holding ORC to floor
bracket.
