If while the vehicle is running a problem is
detected in the engine control system the lamp is
illuminated. This is accomplished by the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) grounding the G3 circuit.
SEAT BELT WARNING INDICATOR
The fasten seat belt indicator is used with the
warning chime to indicate to the operator to fasten
the seat belt. There is a switch located in the drivers
side B-pillar that is normally OPEN with the seat
belt buckled.
If the seat belt is not buckled the switch CLOSES
and a ground path is completed from the G10 circuit
to the Z1 circuit. This will illuminate the lamp in the
instrument cluster.
When the ignition switch is moved to the START
position the lamp will illuminate. Logic internal to
the instrument cluster determines the length of time.
LOW FUEL LAMP
The low fuel lamp is used to indicate to the opera-
tor that the fuel level is below a predetermined level.
This lamp is logic driven by the instrument cluster.
When the instrument cluster determines a low fuel
condition based on an input from the fuel tank gauge
level sending unit (circuit G4) it illuminates the
lamp.
HEADLAMP ON CHIME
The headlamp ON chime is used to indicate to the
operator that the headlamps or parking lamps are
ON when the drivers door is OPEN. If the lamps are
ON and the drivers door is opened, a ground path is
completed from the G26 circuit at the cluster,
through the headlamp switch, to the G16 circuit and
ending at the door ajar switch. The door ajar switch
is case grounded.
KEY-IN CHIME
The key-in chime is used to indicate to the opera-
tor that the key is in the ignition with the driversdoor OPEN. If the key is in the ignition and the driv-
ers door is OPEN, a ground path is completed from
the G26 circuit at the cluster, through the CLOSED
key-in switch, to the G16 circuit and terminating at
the door ajar switch which is case grounded.
CHARGE INDICATOR LAMP
The Charge Indicator lamp is used to alert the
operator that the charging system voltage has fallen
below the normal operating range. This circuit is con-
trolled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE (ACM)
Two different circuits supply battery voltage from
the fuse block to the Airbag Control Module (ACM),
F15 and F25. The F15 and F25 circuits are connected
to separate bus bars internal to the fuse block. Dif-
ferent circuits from the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) and ignition switch supply battery voltage to
the fuse block bus bars.
The F25 circuit supplies battery voltage to the
ACM only when the ignition switch is in the RUN
position. The F15 circuit powers the ACM when the
ignition switch is in either the START or RUN posi-
tion.
An internal bus bar in the ignition switch connects
the A1 circuit from the PDC to the A21 circuit when
the switch is either the START or RUN position. The
A21 circuit supplies battery voltage to the bus bar in
the fuse block that feeds the F15 circuit. A 30 amp
fuse in the PDC protects the A1 and A21 circuits. A
10 amp fuse in the fuse block, cavity 9, protects the
F15 circuit.
When the ignition switch is in the RUN position, it
connects the A2 circuit from the PDC to the A22 cir-
cuit. The A22 circuit supplies battery voltage to the
fuse block bus bar that feeds the F25 circuit. A 40
amp fuse in the PDC protects the A2 and A22 cir-
cuits. A 10 amp fuse in the fuse block, cavity 5, pro-
tects the F25 circuit.
Circuits D1 and D2 are connected to the CCD Bus
and the ACM. The CCD bus is used to provide com-
munications between modules and the universal data
link connector.
The ACM has a case ground and an external dedi-
cated ground, circuit Z6. The dedicated ground con-
nects to the instrument panel right center support.
AIRBAG IMPACT SENSOR
The Airbag system uses a sensor internal to the
Airbag Control Module (ACM) to detect impact. For
information regarding operation of this sensor, refer
to the appropriate group of the Service Manual.
AIRBAG SQUIB (AIRBAG IGNITER)
DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG
Two circuits, R43 and R45, connect the ACM to the

passengers side airbag module squib (igniter). Circuit
R42 from cavity 1 of the ACM 4-way connector con-
nects to the squib. Circuit R44 from cavity 2 of the
ACM 4- way connector connects to the squib. R42
and R44 are a twisted pair of wires.
Circuits R50 and R51 are connected from the ACM
to the passangers airbag. These circuits are used to
monitor the pressure switch.
AIRBAG WARNING LAMP
The Airbag Warning lamp is used to alert the oper-
ator of a problem with the Airbag system. The lamp
is illuminated when the Airbag Control Module
(ACM) grounds the R41 circuit. Refer to the appro-
priate section of the Service Manual or Diagnostic
Test Procedures Manual to diagnosis this system.
HELPFUL INFORMATION

ACM, they also feed additional components on sepa-
rate fuse protected circuits.
²The ACM has a case ground and an external
dedicated ground. The dedicated ground connects to
the instrument panel right center support.
PL8W - 43 AIRBAG SYSTEM 8W - 43 - 5

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The second ground path is through the headlamp
switch. Circuit M23 is spliced in with the time out
relay. When the operator turns the headlamp switch
to the dome lamp ON position, a ground path is pro-
vided through the switch on the Z1 circuit. This
ground terminates at the instrument panel left cen-
ter support.
On vehicles equipped with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) the M23 circuit is spliced to the RKE module.
This allows the lamp to be turned ON when a valid
signal is reveived by the RKE module from the trans-
mitter.
MAP/READING LAMPS
The map/reading lamps are powered by the M1 cir-
cuit from the Power Distribution Center (PDC). This
circuit is the Ignition-Off Draw circuit and protected
by a 10 amp fuse. The M1 circuit is spliced and pro-
vides power for the visor/vanity lamps, radio, power
mirrors, dome lamp, time delay relay, and other inte-
rior lamps.
Ground for the lamps is provided from two sources.
One is the Z3 circuit which is spliced in with the
glove box lamp and terminates at the instrument
panel left center support. The second ground is pro-
vided on circuit M23. This circuit is spliced in with
the time out relay so the lamps will turn ON when
any door is OPENED.
On vehicles equipped with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) the M23 circuit, which is the ground circuit
when a door is OPENED, is connected to the RKE
module. The module will provide a ground path for
the lamps with a valid signal from the transmitter.
GLOVE BOX LAMP
The glove box lamp receives power on the M1 cir-
cuit from the 10 amp fuse located in the Power Dis-
tribution Center (PDC). A switch, wired in series
after the lamp, CLOSES when the glove box door is
opened, and completes a path to ground on the Z3

lamp, PRNDL lamp, and the time delay relay. The Z3
circuit terminates at the instrument panel left center
support.
ASH RECEIVER LAMP
The ash receiver lamp receives power on the E2
circuit from the 4 amp fuse located in the fuse block
in cavity 12. The fuse receives power from the head-
lamp switch. Circuit E2, which is HOT at all times,
also powers the Transmission Range Indicator
(PRNDL) lamp.
When the headlamp switch is moved to the PARK
or ON position, current flows through the fuse to the
ash receiver lamp. The ground for the lamp is sup-
plied on the Z3 circuit, and terminates at the instru-
ment panel left center support. This circuit is also
spliced in with the PRNDL lamp, the ignition switch
lamp, and the glove box lamp.
UNDERHOOD LAMP
Power for the underhood lamp is supplied on cir-
cuit M1. This is the Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) circuit
and is protected by a 10 amp fuse located in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC).
When the hood is raised a ground path is com-
pleted through the mercury switch to a case ground
illuminating the lamp.
