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.
Once a vehicle has been in an accident, the ten-
sioner must be replaced along with any deployed air-
bags and broken or damaged parts. Refer to the
proper Body Diagnostic Procedures manual for diag-
nosis and testing.
WARNING: WHEN THE FRONT AIRBAG IS
DEPLOYED, THE TENSIONER WILL HAVE
DEPLOYED ALSO AND SHOULD BE REPLACED.

SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG
CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The side airbag system is a safety device 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 Programmable Communication Interface
(PCI) data 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.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THE BATTERY NEG-
ATIVE CABLE. REFER TO ELECTRICAL,

SPEED CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
The speed control system is electronically con-
trolled and vacuum operated. The electronic control
is integrated into the Powertrain Control Module.
The controls are located on the steering wheel. The
ON/OFF, and SET buttons are located on the left side
of the airbag module. The RESUME/ACCEL, CAN-
CEL and COAST buttons are located on the right
side of the airbag module (Fig. 1).The system is designed to operate at speeds above
30 mph (48 km/h).
WARNING: THE USE OF SPEED CONTROL IS NOT
RECOMMENDED WHEN DRIVING CONDITIONS DO
NOT PERMIT MAINTAINING A CONSTANT SPEED,
SUCH AS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON ROADS THAT
ARE WINDING, ICY, SNOW COVERED, OR SLIP-
PERY.
OPERATION
OPERATION
When speed control is activated by depressing the
ON switch, the PCM allows a set speed to be stored
in RAM for speed control. To store a set speed,
depress and release the SET switch while the vehicle
is moving at a speed between 30 and 85 mph. In
order for the speed control to engage, the brakes can-
not be applied, nor can the gear selector be indicat-
ing the transmission is in Park or Neutral (ATX) or
1st/2nd gear (MTX). The speed control can be disen-
gaged manually by:
²Stepping on the brake pedal
²Depressing the OFF switch
²Depressing the CANCEL switch.
²Depressing the clutch pedal
²Operating in 1st or 2nd gear (autostick, if
equipped)

AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL OVERSPEED
REDUCTION
DESCRIPTION
Transmission control software includes an auto-
matic speed control overspeed reduction feature. This
maintains vehicle speed at the selected set point
when descending a grade.
OPERATION
The TCM (on SBEC vehicles) (PCM on NGC vehi-
cles) first senses that the speed control is set. If the
set speed is exceeded by more than 4 mph (6.5
km/hr) and the throttle is closed, the TCM (on SBEC
vehicles) (PCM on NGC vehicles) causes the trans-
axle to downshift to THIRD gear. After downshifting,
the automatic speed control resumes normal opera-
tion. To ensure that an upshift is appropriate after
the set speed is reached, the TCM (on SBEC vehi-
cles) (PCM on NGC vehicles) waits until the speed
control system opens the throttle at least 6 degrees
before upshifting to OVERDRIVE again.
If the driver applies the brakes, canceling auto-
matic speed control operation with the transaxle still
in THIRD gear, the TCM (on SBEC vehicles) (PCM
on NGC vehicles) maintains this gear until the driver
opens the throttle at least 6 degrees to avoid an inap-
propriate upshift. The upshift is also delayed for 2.5
seconds after reaching the 6 degrees throttle opening
in anticipation that the driver might open the throt-
tle enough to require THIRD gear. This will avoid
unnecessary and disturbing transmission cycling. If
the automatic speed control RESUME feature is used
after braking, the upshift is delayed until the set
speed is achieved to reduce cycling and provide bet-
ter response.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ROAD TEST
Perform a vehicle road test to verify reports of
speed control system malfunction. The road test
should include attention to the speedometer. Speed-
ometer operation should be smooth and without flut-
ter at all speeds.
Flutter in the speedometer indicates a problem
which might cause surging in the speed control sys-
tem. The cause of any speedometer problems should
be corrected before proceeding. Refer to the Instru-
ment Cluster for speedometer diagnosis.
If a road test verifies an inoperative system, and
the speedometer operates properly, check for:
²A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). If a DTC
exists, conduct tests per the Powertrain Diagnostic
Procedures manual.
²A misadjusted brake (stop) lamp switch. This
could also cause an intermittent problem.
²Loose or corroded electrical connections at the
servo. Corrosion should be removed from electrical
terminals and a light coating of Mopar Multipurpose
Grease, or equivalent, applied.
²Leaking vacuum reservoir.
²Loose or leaking vacuum hoses or connections.
²Defective one-way vacuum check valve.
²Secure attachment at both ends of the speed
control servo cable.
²Smooth operation of throttle linkage and throttle
body air valve.
²Conduct electrical test at PCM.
²Failed speed control servo. Do the servo vacuum
test.
CAUTION: When test probing for voltage or conti-
nuity at electrical connectors, care must be taken
not to damage connector, terminals or seals. If
these components are damaged, intermittent or
complete system failure may occur.

FRONT WIPER ARMS
STANDARD PROCEDURE - FRONT WIPER ARM
ALIGNMENT
(1) Verify wiper blade element condition and wiper
arm spring tension. Run wipers in low speed mode
while applying water to the windshield. Observe the
wiper blade that is chattering or skipping across the
windshield. If the wiper element is not rolling over
when the wiper direction reverses, align the wiper
arm. The extension bar portion of the wiper arm
must be twisted in the proper direction to allow the
wiper element to roll over when the direction
reverses.
(2) Place two small adjustable wrenches placed 50
mm (2 in.) apart on the wiper arm extension rod.
(3) Twist the extension rod slightly in the opposite
direction that the element is laying on the wind-
shield while holding the wrench closest to the pivot
stationary.
