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,
B-Pillar Lower Trim, Removal.
(3) Remove the three SIACM retaining screws and
remove the module from the vehicle.
(4) Disconnect the SIACM electrical connector.
INSTALLATION
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THE SIACM IF THE
MOUNTING LOCATION IS DEFORMED OR DAM-
AGED.
(1) Connect the SIACM electrical connector.
(2) Place the module in the slot on their respective
B-pillar. Install the three SIACM retaining screws.
Torque screws to 5.7 - 7.9 N´m (50 - 70 lbs.)
CAUTION: Use the correct screws when installing
the SIACM.
(3) Install the lower B-pillar trim on the appropri-
ate side of the vehicle. Refer to Body, Interior, B-Pil-
lar Lower Trim, Installation.

SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
OPERATION
The PCM can test many of its own input and out-
put circuits. If the PCM senses a fault in a major
system, the PCM stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) in memory.For DTC information see On-Board Diagnostics

The composite manifolds uses special Plastic screws. The factory installed Plastic screws can be removed and
installed up to 5 times. Do not exceed the specified torque. These screws must be installed slowly (less than 600
rpms) to avoid melting the parent material. There are service repair screws avialable for repair. They require a
higher torque than the original screws..

Converter housing leaks have several potential
sources. Through careful observation, a leak source
can be identified before removing the transmission
for repair.
Pump seal leaks tend to move along the drive hub
and onto the rear of the converter (Fig. 7). Pump
o-ring or pump body leaks follow the same path as a
seal leak. Pump attaching bolt leaks are generally
deposited on the inside of the converter housing and
not on the converter itself. Pump seal or gasket leaks
usually travel down the inside of the converter hous-
ing (Fig. 7).
TORQUE CONVERTER LEAKAGE
Possible sources of torque converter leakage are:
²Torque converter weld leaks at the outside diam-
eter weld (Fig. 8).
²Torque converter hub weld (Fig. 8).
REMOVAL
NOTE: If transaxle assembly is being replaced or
overhauled (clutch and/or seal replacement), it is
necessary to perform the TCM Quick Learn Proce-
dure. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CON-

OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the
Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individ-
ually by grounding the return wire of the solenoid
needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid
valve shifts, and a fluid passage is opened or closed
(vented or applied), depending on its default operat-
ing state. The result is an apply or release of a fric-
tional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied,
which by design allow fluid to pass through in their
relaxed or ªoffº state. This allows transaxle limp-in
(P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are
periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike
should be detected by the TCM during this test. It no
spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify
the failure. In addition to the periodic testing, the
solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pres-
sure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to mon-
itor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD hydraulic
circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to
help the TCM detect when clutch circuit hydraulic
failures occur. The range for the pressure switch clos-
ing and opening points is 11-23 psi. Typically the
switch opening point will be approximately one psi
lower than the closing point. For example, a switch
may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches
are continuously monitored by the TCM for the cor-
rect states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in
the following chart:
PRESSURE SWITCH STATES
GEAR L/R 2/4 OD
ROPOPOP
P/N CL OP OP
1st CL OP OP
2nd OP CL OP
DOPOPCL
OD OP CL CL
OP = OPEN
CL = CLOSED
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the
TCM senses any switch open or closed at the wrong
time in a given gear.The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure
switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd
gear). The test simply verifies that they are opera-
tional, by looking for a closed state when the corre-
sponding element is applied. Immediately after a
shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed
above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily turns on ele-
ment pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to
identify that the appropriate switch has closed. If it
doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to
close the second time, the appropriate Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) will set.
REMOVAL
NOTE: If solenoid/pressure switch assembly is
being replaced, it is necessary to perform the TCM
Quick Learn Procedure. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/TRANSMISSION

(1) Disconnect battery negative cable.
(2) Remove air cleaner assembly.

SPEED SENSOR - INPUT
DESCRIPTION
The Input Speed Sensor is a two-wire magnetic
pickup device that generates AC signals as rotation
occurs. It is threaded into the transaxle case (Fig. 317) ,
sealed with an o-ring (Fig. 318), and is considered a pri-
mary input to the Transmission Control Module (TCM).

SOLENOID SWITCH VALVE
The solenoid switch valve controls line pressure
from the LR/CC solenoid. In one position, it allows
the low/reverse clutch to be pressurized. In the other,
it directs line pressure to the converter control and
converter clutch valves.
MANUAL VALVE
The manual valve is operated by the mechanical
shift linkage. Its primary responsibility is to send
line pressure to the appropriate hydraulic circuits
and solenoids. The valve has three operating ranges
or positions.
CONVERTER CLUTCH SWITCH VALVE
The main responsibility of the converter clutch switch
valve is to control hydraulic pressure applied to the front
(off) side of the converter clutch piston. Line pressure
from the regulator valve is fed to the torque converter
regulator valve, where it passes through the valve, and is
slightly regulated. The pressure is then directed to the
converter clutch switch valve and to the front side of the
converter clutch piston. This pressure pushes the piston
back and disengages the converter clutch.
CONVERTER CLUTCH CONTROL VALVE
The converter clutch control valve controls the
back (on) side of the torque converter clutch. When
the TCM energizes or modulates the LR/CC solenoid
to apply the converter clutch piston, both the con-
verter clutch control valve and the converter control
valve move, allowing pressure to be applied to the
back side of the clutch.
T/C REGULATOR VALVE
The torque converter regulator valve slightly regu-
lates the flow of fluid to the torque converter.
LOW/REVERSE SWITCH VALVE
The low/reverse clutch is applied from different
sources, depending on whether low (1st) gear or
reverse is selected. The low/reverse switch valve
alternates positions depending on from which direc-
tion fluid pressure is applied. By design, when the
valve is shifted by fluid pressure from one channel,
the opposing channel is blocked. The switch valve
alienates the possibility of a sticking ball check, thus
providing consistent application of the low/reverse
clutch under all operating conditions.
