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) is also
sometimes referred to as the Airbag Control Module
(ACM). The ORC contains the impact sensor and
energy reserve capacitor. It is mounted on a bracket,
under the instrument panel, just forward of the stor-
age 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. Theimpact sensor is calibrated for the specific vehicle
and reacts to the severity and direction of an impact.
REMOVAL
NOTE: Diagnose the ORC using the service/diag-
nostic manual.
(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.
(4) Disconnect the wire connector from ORC.
(5) Remove the ORC assembly from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL ORC IF MOUNTING
LOCATION IS DEFORMED OR DAMAGED.
CAUTION: Use correct screws when installing the
ORC.
(1) Install the ORC assembly into vehicle.
(2) Connect the wire connector to the ORC.
(3) Install three bolts holding ORC to floor
bracket. Torque bolts to 7.3 - 9.6 N´m (65 to 85 in.
lbs.)
(4) Install the storage bin onto the instrument
panel. Refer to Body, Instrument Panel, Storage Bin,
Installation.

PASSENGER AIRBAG
DESCRIPTION
WARNING: NEVER DISASSEMBLE THE PASSEN-
GER AIRBAG, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS NO
SERVICEABLE PARTS.
The Passenger Airbag is located beneath the
instrument panel and pad assembly. The airbag is
mounted to the back side of the instrument panel
reinforcement.
The instrument panel top pad is the most visible
part of the passenger airbag system. Located under
the instrument panel top pad are the airbag door, the
RSRESTRAINTS8O-7
DRIVER AIRBAG TRIM COVER (Continued)

passenger airbag cushion and the airbag cushion
supporting components.
The passenger airbag includes a magnesium hous-
ing within which the cushion and inflator are
mounted and sealed.
Following a passenger airbag deployment, the pas-
senger airbag and the instrument panel must be
replaced. The passenger airbag cannot be repaired,
and must be replaced if deployed or damaged in any
way.
OPERATION
The passenger airbag is equipped with two infla-
tors, each with three levels of pressure output. The
inflators seal the hole in the airbag cushion so it can
discharge the gas it produces directly into the cush-
ion when supplied with the proper electrical signal.
Following an airbag deployment, the airbag cushion
quickly deflates by venting this gas through the
cushion material towards the instrument panel.
The passenger airbag is secured with screws to the
instrument panel beneath the instrument panel top
pad and above the glove box opening. The instrument
panel top pad above the glove box opening conceals
the airbag door and a predetermined hinge line
beneath its decorative cover. Upon airbag deploy-
ment, the top pad will bend at the hinge line and the
door will fold back out of the way onto the top of the
instrument panel.
When the front airbag system is deployed, the fol-
lowingMUSTbe replaced:
²Complete Steering Column Assembly.
²Lower Steering Column Coupler.
²Steering Wheel.
²Clock Spring.
²Driver Airbag.
²Passenger Airbag.
²Upper Instrument Panel with Pad.

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.

CABLE
DESCRIPTION
The speed control servo cable is connected between
the speed control vacuum servo diaphragm and the
throttle body control linkage.
OPERATION
This cable causes the throttle control linkage to
open or close the throttle valve in response to move-
ment of the vacuum servo diaphragm.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(2) Remove speed control cable from throttle cam
by sliding clasp out hole used for throttle cable.
(3) Compress the retaining tabs on the cable and
slide cable out of bracket.
(4) Disconnect electrical connectors and vacuum
hose from servo.
(5) Remove two nuts attaching speed control cable
and mounting bracket to servo.
(6) Pull cable away from servo to expose retaining
clip and remove clip attaching cable to servo.
(7) Remove speed control cable.
INSTALLATION

SERVO
DESCRIPTION
The servo unit consists of a solenoid valve body,
and a vacuum chamber. The solenoid valve body con-
tains three solenoids:
²Vacuum
²Vent
²Dump
The vacuum chamber contains a diaphragm with a
cable attached to control the throttle linkage.
OPERATION
The PCM controls the solenoid valve body. The
solenoid valve body controls the application and
release of vacuum to the diaphragm of the vacuum
servo. The servo unit cannot be repaired and is ser-
viced only as a complete assembly.
Power is supplied to the servo by the PCM through
the brake switch. The PCM controls the ground path
for the vacuum and vent solenoids.
The dump solenoid is energized anytime it receives
power. If power to the dump solenoid is interrupted,
the solenoid dumps vacuum in the servo. This pro-
vides a safety backup to the vent and vacuum sole-
noids.
The vacuum and vent solenoids must be grounded
by the PCM to operate. When the PCM grounds the
vacuum servo solenoid, the solenoid allows vacuum
to enter the servo and pull open the throttle plate
using the cable. When the PCM breaks the ground,
the solenoid closes and no more vacuum is allowed to
enter the servo. The PCM also operates the vent sole-
noid via ground. The vent solenoid opens and closes a
passage to bleed or hold vacuum in the servo as
required.
The PCM cycles the vacuum and vent solenoids to
maintain the set speed, or to accelerate and deceler-
ate the vehicle. To increase throttle opening, the
PCM grounds the vacuum and vent solenoids. To
decrease throttle opening, the PCM removes the
grounds from the vacuum and vent solenoids.
