GENERAL INFORMATION
The airbag system is a standard equipment safety
device on XJ (Cherokee) models. It is designed to pro-
tect the driver from serious injury, caused by a fron-
tal impact of the vehicle. If the airbag module
assembly is defective and non-deployed, refer to
Chrysler Corporation current return list for proper
handling procedures.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the airbag system.AIRBAG MODULE
The airbag module protective cover is the only vis-
ible part of the system. The module is mounted di-
rectly to the steering wheel. Under the airbag
module cover, the airbag cushion and its supporting
components are contained. The airbag module con-
tains a housing to which the cushion and impact sen-
sor/inflator assembly are attached and sealed. The
airbag module is non-serviceable, and must be re-
placed if deployed or damaged in any way.
The impact sensor/inflator assembly is mounted to
the back of the module. The inflator seals the hole in
JRESTRAINT SYSTEMS 8M - 1
Page 481 of 2198

the airbag cushion so it can discharge the gas it pro-
duces directly into the cushion. The protective cover
is fitted to the front of the airbag module and forms
a decorative cover in the center of the steering wheel.
Upon airbag deployment, this cover will split hori-
zontally.
STORAGE
The airbag module must be stored in its original,
special container until used for service. Also, it must
be stored in a clean, dry environment; away from
sources of extreme heat, sparks, and high electrical
energy. Always place or store the module on a surface
with the trim cover facing up to minimize movement
in case of accidental deployment.
IMPACT SENSOR/INFLATOR ASSEMBLY
The impact sensor/inflator assembly is mounted to
the back of the airbag module. It seals the hole in
the steering wheel side of the airbag cushion so that
gas produced in the inflator can be discharged di-
rectly into the cushion.
The impact sensor provides verification of the di-
rection and severity of the impact. A spherical sens-
ing mass housed in a cylinder will move forward and
rotate a D-shaft when the vehicle is subjected to a
frontal impact of sufficient severity. Airbag inflation
is designed to occur at a precisely calibrated vehicle
deceleration force, and is not linked to vehicle road
speed.The D-shaft retains two spring-loaded firing pins.
When a firing pin is released by the D-shaft, it
strikes and ignites a primer. The primer then reacts
with the pelletized, solid generant contained in the
inflator to produce the nitrogen gas that inflates the
airbag cushion.
ARMING/DISARMING MECHANISM
The steering wheel hub incorporates an airbag
arming/disarming mechanism and a specially de-
signed nut-blocker. The nut-blocker serves as a safety
to prevent removal of the airbag module until the
unit has been disarmed. A removable plastic cover
plug on the top, outer hub of the steering wheel al-
lows access to the arming screw.
When the airbag module is disarmed, the arming
screw extends upward from the steering wheel hub.
This will prevent installation of the plastic cover
plug. Also, the nut-blocker is retracted to allow ac-
cess to the two upper airbag module mounting nuts.
When the airbag module is armed, the plastic cover
plug will install flush with the outer surface of the
steering wheel hub. In addition, the nut-blocker will
prevent access to the two upper airbag module
mounting nuts.
DIAGNOSIS
This mechanical airbag system can not be diag-
nosed or repaired. The only serviced component is
the airbag module assembly. If the airbag module isdamaged in any way or deployed, it must be re-
placed.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
AIRBAG SYSTEM SERVICE (DEPLOYED)
Any vehicle which is to be returned to use after an
airbag deployment, must have the airbag module re-
placed. This is a one-time component and cannot be
reused.
AIRBAG MODULE HANDLING
UNDEPLOYED
At no time should any source of electricity be per-
mitted near the inflator on the back of the module.
When carrying an undeployed module, the trim cover
should be pointed away from the body to minimizeinjury in the event of accidental deployment. If the
module is placed on a bench or other surface, the
plastic trim cover should be face up to minimize
movement in case of accidental deployment.
In addition, the airbag module should be disarmed
whenever the steering wheel or steering column re-
quires service or removal. Failure to observe this
warning could result in accidental airbag deployment
and possible personal injury. Refer to Group 19 -
Steering for more service procedures on steering
wheel and steering column.
8M - 2 RESTRAINT SYSTEMSJ
Page 482 of 2198

DEPLOYED
Following an airbag deployment, the vehicle inte-
rior will contain a powdery residue. This residue is
primarily sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), used as
an airbag cushion lubricant. However, there will also
be traces of sodium hydroxide powder, a chemical
byproduct of the generant used for airbag deploy-
ment. Since this powder can irritate the skin, eyes,
nose or throat, be sure to wear safety glasses, rubber
gloves and a long-sleeved shirt during cleanup (Fig.
1).
If you experience skin irritation during
cleanup, run cool water over the affected area.
Also, if you experience irritation of the nose or
throat, exit the vehicle for fresh air until the ir-
ritation ceases. If irritation continues, see a
physician.
CLEANUP PROCEDURE
Remove the airbag and airbag module from the ve-
hicle. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any residual
powder from the vehicle interior. Clean from outside
the vehicle and work your way inside, so that you
avoid kneeling or sitting on an uncleaned area.
Be sure to vacuum the heater and A/C outlets as
well (Fig. 2). Run the blower on low and vacuum any
powder expelled from the plenum. You may need to
vacuum the interior of the car a second time to re-
cover all of the powder.
Place the deployed airbag and module in your ve-
hicular scrap pile.
AIRBAG MODULE REMOVE/INSTALL
WARNING: THIS AIRBAG SYSTEM IS A SENSITIVE,
COMPLEX MECHANICAL UNIT. BEFORE ATTEMPT-ING TO REMOVE OR INSTALL THE AIRBAG SYS-
TEM OR RELATED STEERING WHEEL AND
STEERING COLUMN COMPONENTS YOU MUST
FIRST DISARM THE AIRBAG FIRING MECHANISM.
FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN ACCIDEN-
TAL DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL IN-
JURY.
When removing a deployed airbag module,
rubber gloves, eye protection and long-sleeved

above the outer surface of the steering wheel hub
cover. This is done using an 8mm socket and manual
drive. DO NOT USE POWER-DRIVEN TOOLS.
(3) From back side of steering wheel, remove 4
nuts attaching airbag module to steering wheel (Fig.
3). This is done using a 10mm socket and manual
drive. DO NOT USE POWER-DRIVEN TOOLS.
(4) Remove airbag module from steering wheel.
(5) Reverse removal procedures to install. Tighten
airbag module attaching nuts to 9 to 11 Nzm (80 to
100 in. lbs.). Exit vehicle and arm airbag by reaching
through driver's side window and turning arming
screw clockwise to its travel limit. Arming screw
torque should not exceed 1.1 to 1.7 Nzm (10-15 in.
lbs.). Reinstall plastic cover plug in steering wheel
hub.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This group covers the buzzer warning system,
which is standard equipment on XJ (Cherokee)/YJ
(Wrangler) models. The system provides an audible
warning to the driver when it monitors the following
conditions:
²key is in ignition switch with the driver's door
open
²head or park lamps are on with driver's door open
(XJ only)
²driver's seat belt is not buckled with ignition
switch in ON position.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the buzzer warning system. Refer to
Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit de-
scriptions and diagrams.
BUZZER MODULE
The buzzer module is located in the fuseblock mod-
ule under the left end of the instrument panel. It re-
ceives battery voltage at all times from (fuse 15 - XJ,
fuse 3 - YJ) the fuseblock module. It also receives a
second battery feed (fuse 17 - XJ, fuse 9 - YJ) when
the ignition switch is in the ON or START position.
Other inputs to the module include the driver's door
jamb switch, the driver's seat belt switch, the ignition
key-in switch, and the headlamp switch (XJ only). The
only output of the module is a timed 4 to 8 second feed
to the seat belt reminder lamp in the message center of
the instrument cluster. The timer function begins after
the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.
The buzzer module can not be repaired. If faulty, it
must be replaced.
DRIVER'S DOOR JAMB SWITCH
The driver's door jamb switch is mounted to the
driver's door hinge pillar. The switch closes a path to
ground for the buzzer module through the key-in
switch or headlamp switch (XJ only) when the driv-
er's door is opened, and opens when the driver's door
is closed. This switch can not be repaired. If faulty, it
must be replaced.
IGNITION KEY-IN SWITCH
XJ MODELS
The key-in switch is integral to the ignition switch,
which is mounted on the right side of the steering col-
umn. It closes a path to ground for the buzzer module
when the ignition key is inserted in the ignition lock cyl-
inder and the driver's door jamb switch is closed (door
open). The switch opens when the key is removed from
the ignition lock cylinder. This switch can not be re-
paired. If faulty, the entire ignition switch must be re-
placed. Refer to Group 8D - Ignition Systems for service
procedures.
YJ MODELS
The key-in switch is mounted within the steering col-
umn in the lock cylinder housing. It closes a path to
ground for the buzzer module when the ignition key is
inserted in the ignition lock cylinder and the driver's
door jamb switch is closed (door open). The switch opens
when the key is removed from the ignition lock cylinder.
This switch is available for service replacement. Refer
to Group 19 - Steering for service procedures.
HEADLAMP SWITCH (XJ ONLY)
The headlamp switch is located in the instrument
panel. It closes a path to ground for the buzzer module
when the park or headlamps are on and the driver's
door jamb switch is closed (door open). The switch opens
the ground path when the park and headlamps are
turned off. The headlamp switch can not be repaired. If
faulty, it must be replaced. Refer to Group 8E - Instru-
ment Panel and Gauges for service procedures.
DRIVER'S SEAT BELT SWITCH
The driver's seat belt switch is integral to the driv-
er's seat belt buckle-half assembly. The switch is nor-
mally closed, providing a ground path to the buzzer
module. When the tip-half of the seat belt is inserted
into the seat belt buckle, the switch opens the buzzer
module ground path. The seat belt switch can not be
repaired. If faulty, the entire driver's seat belt buck-
le-half must be replaced. Refer to Group 23 - Body
Components for service procedures.
