3.1.4 SEAT BELT TENSIONER (SBT)
The driver and passenger seat belt (buckle) ten-
sioners are mounted to the inboard side of the front
seats. The seat belt buckle and seat belt switch are
connected directly to the seat belt tensioner cable.
At the onset of an impact event the ORC uses the
seat belt tensioner to rapidly retract the seat belt
buckles. With the slack removed, the occupant's
forward motion in an impact will be reduced as will
the likelihood of contacting interior components.
The seat belt tensioner cannot be removed, the
occupant's forward motion in an impact will be
reduced as will the likelihood of contacting re-
paired, if damaged or defective it must be replaced.
The ORC continuously monitors the resistance of
the seat belt tensioner circuits an open or shorted
conditions.
3.1.5 SEAT BELT SWITCHES (SBS)
The hall-effect driver and front passenger seat
belt switches provide the seat belt status, buckledor unbuckled, via hardwired inputs to the ORC. The
ORC uses seat belt switch inputs to determine the
appropriate level of airbag deployment. If the seat
belt switches are damaged or defective the seat belt
tensioner must be replaced. The ORC continuously
monitors the seat belt switch circuits for an open or
shorted conditions.
3.1.6 SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG CONTROL
MODULE (SIACM)
Supplemental driver and front passenger seat
airbags provide side impact protection for the front
seat occupants. Each side airbag has it own side
impact airbag control module (SIACM) to provide
independent impact sensing and deployment. SI-
ACM are located on the left and right B post just
above the seat belt retractor. One, same part num-
ber, side impact airbag control module (SIACM) is
used on both side of the vehicle. However, for proper
PCI bus operation each SIACM must have a unique
module identification. To provide the unique mod-
ule identification for both, left and right, the
SIACM software looks for a ground on cavity 5 of
the SIACM connector. If cavity 5 is grounded the
SIACM communicates as a left SIACM otherwise it
communicates as a right SIACM. The SIACM per-
forms self diagnostics and circuit tests to determine

GENERAL INFORMATION

(7) Install the jounce bumper on the strut shaft
(Fig. 39). The jounce bumper is to be installed with
the small end pointing downward.
(8) Install the dust shield on the strut. Collapse
and stretch the dust shield down over the top of the
jounce bumper until the dust shield snaps into the
slot on the jounce bumper. The jounce bumper will be
at the top of the inner dust boot. Return the dust
shield to its fully extended length.
(9) Install the strut through the bottom of the coil
spring until the lower spring seat contacts the lower
end of the coil spring. The clevis bracket on the strut
should point straight outward away from the com-
pressor (to the 6 o'clock position). This position
should be within 5É of the lower end tip of the coil
spring (Fig. 50). If necessary, reposition the strut or
coil spring in the compressor so both of these line up
straight outward away from the compressor (to the 6
o'clock position). Install the clamp to hold the strut
and coil together.
(10) Install the strut mount over the strut shaft
and onto the top of the pivot bearing and upper seat
as shown (Fig. 45). Loosely install the retaining nut
on the strut shaft.
(11) Install Strut Nut Socket (on the end of a
torque wrench), Special Tool 6864, on the strut shaft
retaining nut (Fig. 46). Next, install a 10 mm socket
on the hex on the end of the strut shaft. While hold-
ing the strut shaft from turning, tighten the strut
shaft retaining nut to a torque of 100 N´m (75 ft.
lbs.).NOTE: Before releasing the tension the compressor
has on the spring, using the following figure as ref-
erence (Fig. 51), make sure the upper spring seat,
coil spring and strut clevis bracket are all lined up
properly (within 5É of one another).
(12) Slowly release the tension from the coil spring
by backing off the compressor drive fully. As the ten-
sion is relieved, make sure the upper mount, pivot
bearing and upper seat are align properly. Remove
the clamp from the lower end of the coil spring and
strut. Push back the spring compressor upper and
lower hooks, then remove the strut assembly from
the spring compressor.
(13) Install strut assembly on the vehicle. (Refer to

CAUTION: When replacing a master cylinder, be
sure to use the correct master cylinder for the type
of brake system the vehicle is equipped with.
The body of the master cylinder is an anodized alu-
minum casting. It has a machined bore to accept the
master cylinder pistons and threaded ports with
seats for the hydraulic brake line connections.
The brake fluid reservoir is mounted on the top of
the master cylinder. It is made of a see-through
polypropylene type plastic for easy fluid level view-
ing. A brake fluid level switch is attached to the
brake fluid reservoir.
The master cylinder is not a repairable component
and must be replaced if diagnosed to be functioning
improperly. The brake fluid reservoir and brake fluid
level switch can be replaced separately.
CAUTION: Do not hone the bore of the cylinder as
this will remove the anodized surface from the bore.
OPERATION
When the brake pedal is depressed, the master cyl-
inder primary and secondary pistons apply brake
pressure through the chassis tubes to the brakes at
each tire and wheel assembly.
The master cylinder primary outlet port supplies
hydraulic pressure to the right front and left rear
brakes. The secondary outlet port supplies hydraulic
pressure to the left front and right rear brakes.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - MASTER CYLINDER
BLEEDING
CAUTION: When clamping master cylinder in vise,
only clamp master cylinder by its mounting flange,
do not clamp on primary piston, seal or body of
master cylinder.(1) Clamp the master cylinder in a vise using only
the mounting flange.
NOTE: Two different size bleeding tubes need to be
used depending on which type of master cylinder
the vehicle is equipped with. Vehicles equipped
with traction control have different size brake tubes
and nuts at the master cylinder than the non-trac-
tion control equipped vehicles. Be sure the correct
size bleeding tubes are used when bleeding the
master cylinder.
(2) Thread Bleeding Tubes, Special Tool 8358, for a
non-traction control master cylinder or Special Tool
8129 for a traction control master cylinder into mas-
ter cylinder primary and secondary ports. Position
outlet ends of bleeding tubes in reservoir with the
outlets below surface of brake fluid when reservoir is
filled to its proper level.
(3) Fill brake fluid reservoir with Mopartbrake
fluid or equivalent conforming to DOT 3 (DOT 4 and
DOT 4+ are acceptable) specifications.
(4) Using a wooden dowel, depress push rod slowly,
and then allow pistons to return to released position.
Repeat several times until all air bubbles are
expelled from master cylinder.
(5) Remove bleeding tubes from master cylinder
outlet ports, and then plug outlet ports and install
fill cap on reservoir.
(6) Remove master cylinder from vise.
(7) Install the filler cap on master cylinder fluid
reservoir.
(8) Install master cylinder. (Refer to 5 - BRAKES -

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DOOR LOCK
MOTOR
Verify battery condition before testing door lock
motor(s) (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY SYS-
TEM/BATTERY - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
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 or a bad switch. Disconnecting
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 positivepin of the lock motor and a ground wire to the other
pin. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING MEMORY SYSTEM
In order to obtain conclusive testing of the memory
system, the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network and all of the electronic mod-
ules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from
the memory system components must be checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the memory system requires the use of a
DRB IIItscan tool and the proper Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual. The DRB IIItscan tool can provide
confirmation that the PCI data bus is functional, that
all of the electronic modules are sending and receiv-
ing the proper messages on the PCI data bus, and
that the memory system is receiving the proper hard
wired inputs and relaying the proper hard wired out-
puts to perform its functions.
Following are diagnostic routines that are built
into the module which can be performed without the
use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to Wiring Dia-
grams for complete circuit schematic or connector
pin-out information.
DIAGNOSTIC MODE 1
Diagnostic Mode 1 clears soft limits and sets mem-
ory selector switches (1 and 2) to predetermined val-
ues.
ACTIVATION-Press and hold the S and 1 buttons
for 5 seconds to enter diagnostic mode 1. This mode
is exited at the completion of the mode 1 tasks or
upon grounding the DATA G87 circuit input to the
module.
Mode 1 will:
²Clear all soft limits to their default hard limit
values
²Load memory 1 with default settings corre-
sponding to horizontal rearward, front down, rear
down, and recliner rearward positions
²Load memory 2 with default settings corre-
sponding to horizontal forward, front up, rear up,
and recliner forward positions
DIAGNOSTIC MODE 2
Diagnostic mode 2 provides a way to determine if
the seat/mirror motors and position sensors are con-
nected properly.
ACTIVATION-Press and hold the S and 2 buttons
for 5 seconds to enter diagnostic mode 2. This modeis exited after 5 seconds of switch inactivity or upon
grounding the DATA G87 circuit input by moving the
transmission out of the PARK position.
Mode 2 will:
²Place the seat and mirror motors at their mid-
point
²When a single axis of seat or mirror motion is
requested by pressing a switch, the corresponding
motor is energized. This tests switch input and motor
output
DRIVER SEAT SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with power seats utilize a eight-
way power seat switch. This eight-way power seat
switch features two knobs ganged together on the
outboard seat cushion side shield (Fig. 2).
The switch is secured to the back of the seat cush-
ion side shield with two screws. However, the control
knobs for the seat switch unit must be removed
before the seat switch can be removed from the side
shield.
The power seat switch cannot be repaired. If one
switch is damaged or faulty, the entire power seat
switch unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The power seat tracks can be adjusted in eight dif-
ferent ways using the power seat switches. See the
owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the power seat switch functions and
the seat adjusting procedures.
When a power seat switch control knob or knobs
are actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the power seat
track or recliner adjuster motor. The selected
adjuster motor operates to move the seat track or
recliner through its drive unit in the selected direc-
tion until the switch is released, or until the travel

POWER SEATS (Continued)

limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is
moved in the opposite direction, the battery feed and
ground path to the motor are reversed through the
switch contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to
run in the opposite direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any
direction after the adjuster has reached its travel
limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a
self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from
overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting
of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to con-
tinue, or the motor may be damaged.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DRIVER SEAT

MEMORY SET SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the memory system have a
memory switch mounted to the driver side front door
trim panel. This switch is used to set and recall all of
the memory system settings for up to two drivers.
The memory switch is a resistor multiplexed unit
that is hard wired to the Body Control Module
(BCM). The BCM sends out the memory system set
and recall requests to the other electronic modules
over the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus.
The memory switch cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. For
complete circuit diagrams, refer toWiring Dia-
grams.
OPERATION
The memory switch has three momentary switch
buttons labeled Set, 1 and 2. The Driver 1 and Driver
2 buttons are back-lit with Light-Emitting Diodes
(LED) for visibility, and are also color-coded to coin-
cide with the color-coded Driver 1 and Driver 2
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters. The
Driver 1 memory switch button and RKE transmitter
are black, and the Driver 2 memory switch button
and RKE transmitter are gray. The memory switch
Set button also has an LED that will illuminate and
flash to indicate that the memory system is in the set
mode. This LED will automatically be extinguished
when a set request has been successfully completed.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the memory switch.

PASSENGER SEAT SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with power seats utilize a eight-
way power seat switch. This eight-way power seat
switch features two knobs ganged together on the
outboard seat cushion side shield (Fig. 5).
The switch is secured to the back of the seat cush-
ion side shield with two screws. However, the control
knobs for the seat switch unit must be removed
before the seat switch can be removed from the side
shield.
The power seat switch cannot be repaired. If one
switch is damaged or faulty, the entire power seat
switch unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The power seat tracks can be adjusted in eight dif-
ferent ways using the power seat switches. See the
owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the power seat switch functions and
the seat adjusting procedures.
When a power seat switch control knob or knobs
are actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the power seat
track or recliner adjuster motor. The selected
adjuster motor operates to move the seat track or
recliner through its drive unit in the selected direc-
tion until the switch is released, or until the travel
limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is
moved in the opposite direction, the battery feed and
ground path to the motor are reversed through the
switch contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to
run in the opposite direction.No power seat switch should be held applied in any
direction after the adjuster has reached its travel
limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a
self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from
overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting
of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to con-
tinue, or the motor may be damaged.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - PASSENGER SEAT
