GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: THIS SYSTEM IS A SENSITIVE, COM-
PLEX ELECTRO±MECHANICAL UNIT. DISCONNECT
AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE CABLE
BEFORE BEGINNING AIRBAG SYSTEM COMPO-
NENT REMOVAL OR INSTALLATION PROCEDURES.
THIS WILL DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAIL-
URE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
ALLOW SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE
FOR TWO MINUTES BEFORE REMOVING AIRBAG
COMPONENTS.
DO NOT PLACE AN INTACT UNDEPLOYED AIR-
BAG FACE DOWN ON A SOLID SURFACE, THE AIR-
BAG WILL PROPEL INTO THE AIR IF
ACCIDENTALLY DEPLOYED AND COULD RESULT
IN PERSONAL INJURY. WHEN CARRYING OR HAN-
DLING AN UNDEPLOYED AIRBAG MODULE, THE
TRIM SIDE OF THE AIRBAG SHOULD BE POINTING
AWAY FROM THE BODY TO MINIMIZE POSSIBILITY
OF INJURY IF ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT
OCCURS.
REPLACE AIRBAG SYSTEM COMPONENTS WITH
MOPARTREPLACEMENT PARTS. SUBSTITUTE
PARTS MAY APPEAR INTERCHANGEABLE, BUT
INTERNAL DIFFERENCES MAY RESULT IN INFE-
RIOR OCCUPANT PROTECTION.
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES, RUBBER GLOVES,
AND LONG SLEEVES CLOTHING WHEN CLEANING
POWDER RESIDUE FROM VEHICLE AFTER AIRBAG
DEPLOYMENT. SODIUM HYDROXIDE POWDER
RESIDUE EMITTED FROM A DEPLOYED AIRBAGCAN CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION. FLUSH AFFECTED
AREA WITH COOL WATER IF IRRITATION IS EXPE-
RIENCED. IF NASAL OR THROAT IRRITATION IS
EXPERIENCED, EXIT THE VEHICLE FOR FRESH AIR
UNTIL THE IRRITATION CEASES. IF IRRITATION
CONTINUES, SEE A PHYSICIAN.
DO NOT USE A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG THAT IS
NOT IN THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING, IMPROPER
DEPLOYMENT AND PERSONAL INJURY CAN
RESULT.
THE FACTORY INSTALLED FASTENERS,
SCREWS AND BOLTS USED TO FASTEN AIRBAG
COMPONENTS, ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED
FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. DO NOT USE SUBSTI-
TUTE FASTENERS, USE ONLY ORIGINAL EQUIP-
MENT FASTENERS LISTED IN THE PARTS
CATALOG WHEN FASTENER REPLACEMENT IS
REQUIRED.
NOTE: Airbags should be stored in a cool dry loca-
tion away from excessive heat and static electrical
activity with the fabric airbag facing UP, or a prema-
ture deployment can result.
If the Driver/Passenger Airbag Module is defective
and not deployed, refer to Chrysler Corporation cur-
rent return list for proper handling procedures.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE
The Airbag Control Module (ACM) contains the
safing sensor and energy reserve capacitor. The saf-
ing sensor is located inside the ACM. The module is
mounted on the tunnel/floor pan between the gear
PLRESTRAINT SYSTEM 8M - 1

shift lever and the park brake lever (Fig. 1). The saf-
ing sensor provides confirmation of a crash, but does
not discriminate severity. The ACM monitors the sys-
tem to determine the system readiness. The ACM
contains on-board diagnostics, and will illuminate the
AIRBAG warning lamp in the cluster when a fault
occurs. The warning equipment is tested for six to
eight seconds every time the vehicle is started.
CLOCKSPRING
The clockspring is mounted to the steering column
behind the steering wheel. The clockspring is used to
maintain a continuous electrical circuit between the
wiring harness and the:
²Driver's airbag module
²Speed control switches
²Horn switch
The clockspring consists of a flat, ribbon like, elec-
trically conductive tape which winds and unwinds
with the steering wheel rotation.
DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE
WARNING: NEVER DISASSEMBLE THE DRIVER OR
PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE, THERE ARE NO
SERVICEABLE PARTS WITH IN THE MODULES.
The Driver Airbag Module located on the steering
wheel is the most visible part of the system (Fig. 2).
The airbag module contains a housing to which the
cushion, inflator and cover are attached to.
The driver side inflator assembly is mounted from
the back of the module housing. When supplied with
the proper electrical signal the inflator assembly will
produce a gas and discharge it directly into the cush-
ion. A protective cover is fitted to the front of the
Driver Airbag Module and forms a decorative cover
in the center of the steering wheel. The Driver Air-
bag Module is mounted directly to the steering
wheel.The Passenger Airbag Module is located beneath
the decorative cover of the instrument panel, facing
the passenger seat (Fig. 3).
The passenger inflator assembly is within the mod-
ule housing. The module is mounted to the instru-
ment panel retainer and support structure. When
supplied with the proper electrical signal the inflator
will produce a gas and discharge it directly into the
cushion. A protective cover is fitted into the instru-
ment panel over the airbag module and forms a dec-
orative cover.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
AIRBAG SYSTEM TEST
(1) Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
cable.
(2) Connect scan tool (DRB) to Data Link connec-
tor, located at right side of the steering column and
at the lower edge of the lower instrument panel.
(3) Turn the ignition key to ON position. Exit vehi-
cle with scan tool. Use the latest version of the
proper cartridge.
(4) After checking that no one is inside the vehicle,
connect the battery negative terminal.
(5) Using the scan tool, read and record active
diagnostic code data.
(6) Read and record any stored diagnostic codes.
(7) Refer to the Passive Restraint Diagnostic Test
Manual if any diagnostic codes are found in Step 5 or
Step 6.
(8) Erase stored diagnostic codes if there are no
active diagnostic codes. If problems remain, diagnos-
tic codes will not erase. Refer to the Passive
Restraint Diagnostic Test Manual to diagnose the
problem.If the airbag warning lamp either fails
to light with the ignition switch on, or the light
goes on and stays on, there is a system malfunc-
tion. Refer to the Passive Restraint Diagnostic
Test Manual to diagnose the problem.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
CLEANUP PROCEDURE
Roll or fold the passenger airbag towards the
instrument panel surface and close the door over the
folded bag. Then tape the door shut.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any residual pow-
der from the vehicle interior. Work from the outside
in to avoid kneeling or sitting in a contaminated
area. Vacuum the heater and A/C outlets as well (Fig.
4). If the heater or air conditioner was in RECIRC
mode at time of airbag deployment, operate blower
motor on low speed and vacuum powder residue
expelled from the heater and A/C outlets. Multiple
vacuum cleaning may to necessary to decontaminate
the interior of the vehicle.
NOTE: Dispose deployed airbag properly, contact
dealer or government agency for disposal recom-
mendations.
SERVICE OF DEPLOYED AIRBAG MODULE
DRIVER AIRBAG
After a Driver Airbag Module has been deployed
the following components must be replaced becausethey cannot be reused. Other driver airbag system
components are replaced if damaged.
²Driver Airbag Module
²Clockspring assembly
PASSENGER AIRBAG
After a Passenger Airbag Module has been
deployed the following components must be replaced
because they cannot be reused.
²Passenger Airbag Module
²Right trim panel
The lower instrument panel knee blocker, top
cover, and any other components should be replaced
if damaged.
HANDLING AIRBAG MODULE
DEPLOYED MODULE
The vehicle interior may contain a very small
amount of sodium hydroxide powder, a by-product of
airbag deployment. Sodium hydroxide powder can
irritate the skin, eyes, nose and throat. Wear safety
glasses, rubber gloves, and long sleeved clothing
when cleaning any of the powder residue from the
vehicle.
If you find that the cleanup is irritating your skin,
run cool water over the affected area. Also, if you
experience nasal or throat irritation, exit the vehicle
for fresh air until the irritation ceases. If irritation
continues, see a physician.
UNDEPLOYED
The airbag module(s) must be stored in its original
special container until used for service. At no time
should a source of electricity be permitted near the
inflator on the back of an airbag module. When car-
rying or handling an undeployed airbag module, the
trim side of the airbag should be pointing away from
the body to minimize possibility of injury if acciden-
