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.
Seat Belt Tensioners supplement the dual front air-
bag system. The seat belt tensioners are integral to
the front seat belt buckles, which are secured to the
seat cushion frame on the inboard side. The seat belt
tensioners are controlled by the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) and are connected to the vehicle
electrical system through the body wire harness.
The seat belt tensioners cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, the entire front seat belt buckle
must be replaced. The seat belt tensioners are not
intended for reuse and must be replaced following
any front airbag deployment.
OPERATION
WARNING: When the front airbag is deployed, the
tensioner will have deployed also and should be
replaced. Failure to do so could result in occupant
personal injury or death.
The seat belt tensioners are deployed by a signal
generated by the Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) through the driver or passenger seat belt ten-
sioner line 1 and line 2 (or squib) circuits. When the
ORC sends the proper electrical signal to the tension-
ers, the electrical energy generates enough heat to
initiate a small pyrotechnic gas generator.
Removing excess slack from the front seat belts not
only keeps the occupants properly positioned for an
airbag deployment following a frontal impact of the
vehicle, but also helps to reduce injuries that the
occupants of the front seat might experience in these
situations as a result of a harmful contact with the
steering wheel, steering column, instrument panel
and/or windshield.
The ORC monitors the condition of the seat belt
tensioners through circuit resistance, and will illumi-
nate the airbag indicator in the ElectroMechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC) and store a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that is detected.
For proper diagnosis of the seat belt tensioners, use a
scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic information.
SEAT WEIGHT BLADDER &
PRESSURE SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification
System (OCS) have a seat weight bladder and pres-
sure sensor unit (Fig. 54) that is integral to the pas-
senger front seat cushion. The bladder is sandwiched
between the seat cushion pan and seat cushion foam.
The bladder consists of two rectangular sheets of
an elastomeric material and a molded plastic elbow
fitting. The two sheets of material are sealed
together around their perimeter and heat staked to
each other at numerous regular points within their
field. The elbow fitting is sealed to a small round
hole in the lower surface of the bladder and is
pointed downward where it passes through a clear-
ance hole in the insulator pad and extends to just
below the seat cushion. The bladder is then filled
with a silicone fluid to become a pliable, quilted
membrane.
Under the seat cushion a short tube is securely
clamped at one end to the bladder nipple, and at the
other end to a nipple on the electronic pressure sen-
sor. The sensor housing features an integral mount
that snaps over a tab integral to the stamped steel
Occupant Classification Module (OCM) mounting
bracket welded to the underside of the passenger
front seat cushion frame.

RSRESTRAINTS8O-43

The seat weight bladder and pressure sensor can-
not be adjusted or repaired. The components of the
passenger front seat cushion of a vehicle equipped
with the OCS including the cushion frame, seat
weight bladder and pressure sensor, seat cushion
foam, wire harness and the OCM are serviced only as
a factory-calibrated, assembled and tamper-evident
unit. Only the OCM and the seat cushion trim are
available for separate service replacement. Once a
service replacement package has been installed in a
vehicle, the OCM can thereafter be serviced only by
replacing the entire passenger front seat cushion unit
with another complete service replacement package.
OPERATION
The seat weight bladder and pressure sensor unit
is designed to sense the relative weight of a load
applied to the passenger front seat cushion, which
provides a logic input to the microprocessor of theOccupant Classification Module (OCM). When a load
is applied to the seat cushion, fluid within the blad-
der becomes pressurized. These changes in bladder
fluid pressure are measured by the pressure sensor
under the seat cushion through the bladder tube. As
the pressure within the bladder changes, the cir-
cuitry of the pressure sensor changes the output volt-
age of the sensor.
The pressure sensor receives a nominal five volts
and a ground through hard wired circuits from the
OCM. The OCM then monitors the pressure sensor
output voltage on the Programmable Communication
Interface (PCI) data bus circuit.
To properly diagnose the seat weight bladder and
pressure sensor, its communication with/between the
OCM, and all other components within the OCS, use
a scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic
information.
8O - 44 RESTRAINTSRS
SEAT WEIGHT BLADDER & PRESSURE SENSOR (Continued)

OPERATION
The PCM on NGC vehicles 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 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 PCM on NGC vehicles
waits until the speed control system opens the throt-
tle at least 6 degrees before upshifting to OVER-
DRIVE again.
If the driver applies the brakes, canceling auto-
matic speed control operation with the transaxle still
in THIRD gear, the PCM on NGC vehicles maintains
this gear until the driver opens the throttle at least 6
degrees to avoid an inappropriate 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 throttle enough to require
THIRD gear. This will avoid unnecessary and dis-
turbing 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 better 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.

SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
There are two separate switch pods that operate
the speed control system and are located on the
steering wheel.
OPERATION
The speed control system has five separate resis-
tive switches that provide a single multiplexed
(MUX) voltage inputs to the PCM.The switch names
are: ON, OFF, SET, COAST, RESUME, ACCEL, TAP-
UP, COAST, and CANCEL. Based on conditions when
the buttons are pushed (and released), the five volt-
age ranges provided to the PCM result in the follow-
ing functions: ON, OFF, SET, COAST, RESUME,
ACCEL, TAP-UP, TAP-DOWN, COAST, and CAN-
CEL. Refer to the Speed Control Section for more
information
Also the PCM receives an input from the brake
switch to sense whether the brake pedal has been
depressed. When the PCM receives the brake
depressed input, it turns off power to the speed con-
trol servo and disengages speed control. Also the
power to the servo is supplied through the brake
switch, which opens the circuit when the brake pedal
is depressed.
The individual switches cannot be repaired. If one
switch fails, the entire switch module must be
replaced.
REMOVAL
The speed control switches are mounted in the
steering wheel and wired through the clock spring
device under the airbag module.

VACUUM RESERVOIR
DESCRIPTION
The vacuum reservoir is located in the engine com-
partment. It is made of plastic.
OPERATION
The reservoir stores engine vacuum. Manifold vac-
uum is supplied from the brake booster check valve.
The speed control vacuum supply hose has a check
valve at the source (brake booster) to maintain the
highest available vacuum level in the servo, reservoir
and vacuum hoses. When engine vacuum drops, as in
climbing a grade while driving, the reservoir supplies
the vacuum needed to maintain proper speed control
operation. The vacuum reservoir cannot be repaired
and must be replaced if faulty.

VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY
DESCRIPTION
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) is
designed to protect against whole vehicle theft. The
system monitors vehicle doors, and ignition action for
unauthorized operation (hood and liftgate for RG -
Export). The alarm activates:
²Sounding of the horn
²Flashing of the headlamps/park/tail lamps
²Flashing of the headlamps
²An engine kill feature (with SKREES)
SENTRY KEY REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM
The Sentry Key Remote Entry System (SKREES)
is available as a factory-installed option on this vehi-
cle. It is designed to provide passive protection
against unauthorized vehicle use by disabling the
engine, after two (2) seconds of running, whenever an
invalid key is used to start the vehicle. The SKIS is
active whenever the ignition is on and does not
require any customer intervention. The primary com-
ponents of the system are the Sentry Key Remote
Entry Module (SKREEM), Sentry Key (integrated
key with tranponder and RKE on a circuit board),
indicator light, Body Control Module (BCM), and the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The SKREEM is
mounted to the steering column with the molded,
integral antenna mounted on the ignition housing.
The indicator light, is located in the Mechanical
Instrument Cluster (MIC).
OPERATION
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
Upon failure of proper Sentry Key Remote Entry
Module (SKREEM) communication to the PCM, the
PCM will shut off fuel after two seconds of run time.
The engine will not re-crank on the key cycle that
the failure occurred, a full key down sequence must
be performed for the engine to crank again. After six
consecutive fuel shut-offs, the engine will no longer
crank on subsequent key cycles. The failure must be
corrected and a valid communication process between
the SKREEM and the PCM must occur for the
engine to crank and start again.
The electronics for the VTSS are part of the Body
Control Module (BCM). The system is armed when
the vehicle is locked using the:
²Power door lock switches (with any door ajar)
²Remote Keyless Entry integrated key.
²Door Cylinder Lock Switches (RG only).
For vehicles equipped with Sentry Key Remote
Entry System (SKREES), the doors do not have to be
locked to enable the fuel shut off feature.
After the vehicle is locked and the last door is
closed, the set LED indicator in the Mechanical
Instrument Cluster (MIC) will flash quickly for 16
seconds, indicating that arming is in progress. If no
monitored systems are activated during this period,
the system will arm. The LED will extinguish unless
the liftgate is open. If the liftgate is open, the LED
will flash at a slower rate. This indicates that the
system is armed.
RSVEHICLE THEFT SECURITY8Q-1

RG Only- If fault is detected on the driver key
cylinder input, the indicator LED will remain solid
during the arming process, although the system will
still arm.
If the indicator LED does not illuminate at all
upon door closing it indicates that the system is not
arming.
Passive disarming occurs upon normal vehicle
entry by unlocking either door with the remote trans-
mitter (RG - ignition key or remote transmitter). This
disarming will also halt the alarm once it has been
activated.
A tamper alert exists to notify the driver that the
VTSS had been activated. This alert consists of 3
horn pulses when the vehicle is disarmed.
NOTE: The VTSS will not arm by pushing down the
door lock mechanism. This will manually override
the system.
RG Only- For Door Cylinder Lock Switch
Removal and Installation, refer to Electrical, Power
Locks, Door Cylinder Lock Switch.
If the VTSS is triggered, the horn will pulse, head-
lamps/marker lamps will flash, and the VTSS warn-
ing lamp will flash. If BCM determines the threat to
be false and the VTSS is not triggered again, the sys-
tem will shut down and rearm itself after three min-
utes. If a trigger is still active, the alarm will
continue for an additional 15 minutes without the
horn. The VTSS monitors the passenger compart-
ment (for RG - Export it also monitors the engine
compartment. If a malfunction occurs in the engine
compartment, the passenger compartment would still
arm and function normally).
NOTE: System will not arm if passenger compart-
ment is not secure.
NOTE: (RG - Export - If hood is not secure during
the arming sequence, the lamp will stay lit and not
flash. The system will arm with hood not secured
and the liftgate open).
ARMING THE VTSS - METHOD A
(1) With the key removed from the ignition lock
and any door open (excluding liftgate), actuate one of
the following:
²Power door lock button to LOCK,
²Key fob LOCK button
²Driver door lock key cylinder to locked position
(RG Only).
(2) Close all opened doors. Liftgate can remain
open.(3) After the last door is closed, an arming time-
out period of sixteen seconds will start, then the
VTSS will become armed.
ARMING THE VTSS - METHOD B
Actuating the key fob transmitter LOCK button,
key locking the front doors with the doors closed and
the ignition locked will begin the arming time-out
period. If method A, 16 second time-out sequence was
in process when method B was actuated, the 16 sec-
ond time-out will restart from the time of the second
actuation.
If the security lamp does not illuminate at all upon
final door closure, it indicates that the system is not
arming.
The current VTSS status armed or disarmed shall
be maintained in memory to prevent battery discon-
nects from disarming the system.
TRIGGERING THE VTSS
After the VTSS is armed, the following actions will
trigger the alarm:
²Opening any door (liftgate - only if opening via
liftgate button on key fob).
²Opening the hood (RG - Export)
²Turning the ignition to the RUN position.
NOTE: When the VTSS is ARMED, the interior
power door lock switch ªUNLOCKº will be disabled
until the vehicle is disarmed.
CAUTION: The VTSS indicator LED will trigger and
engine will continue to run if the vehicle is
equipped with SKREES and the proper key is used
to start the vehicle. This condition will occur if the
VTSS has been triggered. If valid key is used, VTSS
will disarm
SENTRY KEY REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM
The SKREES includes keys from the factory which
are pre-programmed. Each SKREEM will recognize a
maximum of eight Sentry Keys. If the customer
would like to own additional keys other than those
provided with the vehicle, they can be purchased
from any authorized dealer. These keys must be pro-
grammed to the SKREEM on the vehicle in order for
the system to recognize them as valid keys. This can
be done by the dealer with a DRBllltscan tool or by
a customer if this feature is available in their market
and they have two (2) valid keys already available to
them. Refer to the Service Procedures portion of this
system for additional details. The SKREES performs
a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position and will store Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC's) if a system malfunction is detected.
