INSTALLATION
(1) Position the power window switch to the rear
door trim panel switch receptacle.
(2) Press firmly and evenly on the back of the
power window switch until it snaps into rear door
trim panel switch receptacle.
(3) Install the trim panel onto the rear door. (Refer
to 23 - BODY/DOORS - REAR/TRIM PANEL -
INSTALLATION) for the procedures.
(4) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
WINDOW MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
Power operated front and rear door windows are
standard equipment on this model. Each door has a
permanent magnet reversible electric motor with an
integral right angle gearbox mechanism that oper-
ates the window regulator. In addition, each power
window motor is equipped with an integral self-reset-
ting circuit breaker to protect the motor from over-
loads.
The power window motor gearbox housing is
secured to the window regulator drum housing with
screws. The window regulators used in all four doors
are single vertical post cable-and-drum type. A
molded plastic slider guided by the post is driven by
the regulator cables. The slider raises and lowers the
window glass through a steel lift plate attachment.
Front and rear glass channels within each door guide
and stabilize each end of the glass.
The power window motor and gearbox assembly
cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
entire power window motor and gearbox unit must be
replaced. The window regulators are available for
service. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/WIN-
DOW REGULATOR - REMOVAL) or (Refer to 23 -
BODY/DOORS - REAR/WINDOW REGULATOR -
REMOVAL) for the regulator service procedures.
OPERATION
A positive and negative battery connection to the
two motor terminals will cause the power window
motor to rotate in one direction. Reversing the cur-
rent through these same two connections will cause
the motor to rotate in the opposite direction.
When the power window motor operates, it rotates
the regulator cable drum through its gearbox. The
window regulator cable drum is connected through
two cables to the plastic slider on the vertical post.
As the cable drum rotates, it lets cable out on one
side of the drum, and takes cable in on the other side
of the drum. The changes in cable length move the
slider up or down the vertical post, raising or lower-
ing the window glass.If the window regulator or window glass bind,
encounter obstructions, or reach their travel limits it
overloads the power window motor. The overloading
condition causes the power window motor self-reset-
ting circuit breaker to open, which stops the motor
from running.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WINDOW MOTOR
Before you proceed with this diagnosis, confirm
proper switch operation. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/DRIVER
DOOR MODULE - OPERATION) or (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER WINDOWS/POWER WIN-
DOW SWITCH - OPERATION). For complete circuit
diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring informa-
tion. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connec-
tor pin-out information and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
(1) Remove the trim panel from the door with the
inoperative power window. (Refer to 23 - BODY/
DOOR - FRONT/TRIM PANEL - REMOVAL) or
(Refer to 23 - BODY/DOORS - REAR/TRIM PANEL -
REMOVAL) for the procedures.
(2) Disconnect the door wire harness connector
from the power window motor wire harness connec-
tor. Apply battery current to one cavity of the power
window motor wire harness connector, and apply
ground to the other cavity of the connector. The
power window motor should operate in one direction.
Remember, if the window is in the full up or full
down position, the motor will not operate in that
direction by design. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK,
replace the faulty power window motor.
(3) Reverse the battery and ground connections to
the two cavities of the power window motor wire har-
ness connector. The power window motor should now
operate in the other direction. Remember, if the win-
dow is in the full up or full down position, the motor
will not operate in that direction by design. If OK, go
to Step 4. If not OK, replace the faulty power window
motor.
(4) If the power window motor operates in both
directions, check the operation of the window glass
and regulator mechanism through its complete up
and down travel. There should be no binding or stick-
ing of the window glass or regulator mechanism
through the entire travel range. If not OK, (Refer to
23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/WINDOW REGULATOR
- REMOVAL) or (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOORS -
REAR/WINDOW REGULATOR - REMOVAL) to
check for proper installation or damage of the win-
dow glass mounting and operating hardware.

WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, DISABLE THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING
WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, DRIVER AIRBAG,
PASSENGER AIRBAG, FRONT IMPACT SENSOR,
SIDE IMPACT SENSOR, SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG, OR
INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR
SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE BAT-
TERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE, THEN WAIT
TWO MINUTES FOR THE SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO
DISCHARGE BEFORE PERFORMING FURTHER
DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS IS THE ONLY SURE
WAY TO DISABLE THE SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE
PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCI-
DENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - HANDLING
NON-DEPLOYED SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINTS
At no time should any source of electricity be per-
mitted near the inflator on the back of a non-de-
ployed airbag. When carrying a non-deployed airbag,
the trim cover or airbag cushion side of the unit
should be pointed away from the body to minimize
injury in the event of an accidental deployment. If
the airbag unit is placed on a bench or any other sur-
face, the trim cover or airbag cushion side of the unit
should be face up to minimize movement in the event
of an accidental deployment. In addition, the supple-
mental restraint system should be disarmed when-
ever any steering wheel, steering column, driver
airbag, passenger airbag, front impact sensor, side
impact sensor, side curtain airbag, or instrument
panel components require diagnosis or service. Fail-
ure to observe this warning could result in accidental
airbag deployment and possible personal injury.
All damaged, faulty or non-deployed airbags which
are replaced on vehicles are to be handled and dis-
posed of properly. If an airbag unit is faulty or dam-
aged and non-deployed, refer to the Hazardous
Substance Control System for proper disposal. Dis-
pose of all non-deployed and deployed airbags in a
manner consistent with state, provincial, local and
federal regulations.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT STORAGE
Airbags must be stored in their original, special
container until they are used for service. Also, they
must be stored in a clean, dry environment; away
from sources of extreme heat, sparks, and high elec-
trical energy. Always place or store any airbag on a
surface with its trim cover or airbag cushion side fac-ing up, to minimize movement in case of an acciden-
tal deployment.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - SERVICE AFTER A
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT DEPLOYMENT
Any vehicle which is to be returned to use follow-
ing a supplemental restraint deployment, must have
the deployed restraints replaced. In addition, if the
driver airbag has been deployed, the clockspring
must be replaced. If the passenger airbag is
deployed, the instrument panel top pad must be
replaced. If a side curtain airbag has been deployed,
the complete airbag unit, the headliner, as well as
the upper A, B, C and D-pillar trim must be replaced.
These components are not intended for reuse and
will be damaged or weakened as a result of a supple-
mental restraint deployment, which may or may not
be obvious during a visual inspection.
The passenger airbag mounting points on the
instrument panel structural duct must be closely
inspected for damage, and the instrument panel
assembly replaced if structural duct damage is evi-
dent. On vehicles with an optional sunroof, the sun-
roof drain tubes and hoses must be closely inspected
following a side curtain airbag deployment. It is also
critical that the mounting surfaces and/or mounting
brackets for the front and side impact sensors be
closely inspected and restored to their original condi-
tions following any vehicle impact damage. Because
the ACM and each impact sensor are used by the
supplemental restraint system to monitor or confirm
the direction and severity of a vehicle impact,
improper orientation or insecure fastening of these
components may cause airbags not to deploy when
required, or to deploy when not required.
All other vehicle components should be closely
inspected following any supplemental restraint
deployment, but are to be replaced only as required
by the extent of the visible damage incurred.
AIRBAG SQUIB STATUS
Multistage airbags with multiple initiators (squibs)
must be checked to determine that all squibs were
used during the deployment event. The driver and
passenger airbags in this model are deployed by elec-
trical signals generated by the Airbag Control Mod-
ule (ACM) through the driver or passenger squib 1
and squib 2 circuits to the two initiators in the air-
bag inflators. Typically, both initiators are used and
all potentially hazardous chemicals are burned dur-
ing an airbag deployment event. However, it is possi-
ble for only one initiator to be used due to an airbag
system fault; therefore, it is always necessary to con-
firm that both initiators have been used in order to
avoid the improper handling or disposal of poten-
tially live pyrotechnic or hazardous materials. The

(4) Check to be certain that nobody is in the vehi-
cle, then reconnect the battery negative cable.
(5) Using the DRBIIIt, read and record the active
(current) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) data.
(6) Next, use the DRBIIItto read and record any
stored (historical) DTC data.
(7) If any DTC is found in Step 5 or Step 6, refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.
(8) Use the DRBIIItto erase the stored DTC data.
If any problems remain, the stored DTC data will not
erase. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic informa-
tion to diagnose any stored DTC that will not erase.
If the stored DTC information is successfully erased,
go to Step 9.
(9) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position for
about fifteen seconds, and then back to the On posi-
tion. Observe the airbag indicator in the instrument
cluster. It should light for six to eight seconds, and
then go out. This indicates that the supplemental
restraint system is functioning normally and that the
repairs are complete. If the airbag indicator fails to
light, or lights and stays on, there is still an active
supplemental restraint system fault or malfunction.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information to
diagnose the problem.
AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Airbag Control Module (ACM) is also some-
times referred to as the Occupant Restraint Control-
ler (ORC) (Fig. 6). The ACM is concealed underneath
the center floor console, where it is secured by four
screws to a stamped steel mounting bracket welded
onto the top of the floor panel transmission tunnel
just forward of the park brake mechanism in the pas-
senger compartment of the vehicle.
Concealed within a hollow in the center of the die
cast aluminum ACM housing is the electronic cir-
cuitry of the ACM which includes a microprocessor,
an electronic impact sensor, an electronic safing sen-
sor, and an energy storage capacitor. A stamped
metal cover plate is secured to the bottom of the
ACM housing with four screws to enclose and protect
the internal electronic circuitry and components. A
printed label on the top of the ACM housing provides
a visual verification of the proper orientation of the
unit, and should always be pointed toward the front
of the vehicle.
Two molded plastic electrical connector receptacles
exit the forward side of the ACM housing. These two
receptacles connect the ACM to the vehicle electrical
system through a dedicated take out and connector of
the instrument panel wire harness, and a dedicated
take out and connector of the airbag overlay wire
harness. For vehicles equipped with the optional side
curtain airbags, both ACM connector receptacles are
black in color and the ACM contains a second bi-di-
rectional safing sensor for the side airbags. For vehi-
cles not equipped with the optional side curtain
airbags, the ACM connector receptacles are both
gray.
The impact sensor and safing sensor internal to
the ACM are calibrated for the specific vehicle, and
are only serviced as a unit with the ACM. The ACM
cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or
faulty, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Airbag Control Module
(ACM) contains the supplemental restraint system
logic circuits and controls all of the supplemental
restraint system components. The ACM uses
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communicate
with other electronic modules in the vehicle as well
as with the DRBIIItscan tool using the Programma-
ble Communications Interface (PCI) data bus net-
work. This method of communication is used for
control of the airbag indicator in the ElectroMechani-
cal Instrument Cluster (EMIC) and for supplemental
restraint system diagnosis and testing through the
16-way data link connector located on the driver side
lower edge of the instrument panel. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/COMMUNICATION - OPERATION).

RESTRAINTS (Continued)

The ACM microprocessor continuously monitors all
of the supplemental restraint system electrical cir-
cuits to determine the system readiness. If the ACM
detects a monitored system fault, it sets an active
and stored Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and sends
electronic messages to the EMIC over the PCI data
bus to turn on the airbag indicator. An active fault
only remains for the duration of the fault or in some
cases the duration of the current ignition switch
cycle, while a stored fault causes a DTC to be stored
in memory by the ACM. For some DTCs, if a fault
does not recur for a number of ignition cycles, the
ACM will automatically erase the stored DTC. For
other internal faults, the stored DTC is latched for-
ever.
The ACM receives battery current through two cir-
cuits, on a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB), and on a
fused ignition switch output (start-run) circuit
through a second fuse in the JB. The ACM is
grounded through a ground circuit and take out of
the instrument panel floor wire harness. This take
out has a single eyelet terminal connector secured by
a nut to a ground stud located behind the ACM
mount on the floor panel transmission tunnel. These
connections allow the ACM to be operational when-
ever the ignition switch is in the Start or On posi-
tions. The ACM also contains an energy-storage
capacitor. When the ignition switch is in the Start or
On positions, this capacitor is continually being
charged with enough electrical energy to deploy the
airbags for up to one second following a battery dis-
connect or failure. The purpose of the capacitor is to
provide backup supplemental restraint system pro-
tection in case there is a loss of battery current sup-
ply to the ACM during an impact.
Two sensors are contained within the ACM, an
electronic impact sensor and a safing sensor. The
ACM also monitors inputs from two remote front
impact sensors located on brackets on the inboard
sides of the right and left vertical members of the
radiator support near the front of the vehicle. The
electronic impact sensors are accelerometers that
sense the rate of vehicle deceleration, which provide
verification of the direction and severity of an
impact. On models equipped with optional side cur-
tain airbags, the ACM also monitors inputs from two
remote side impact sensors located near the base of
both the left and right inner B-pillars to control the
deployment of the side curtain airbag units.
The safing sensor is an electronic accelerometer
sensor within the ACM that provides an additional
logic input to the ACM microprocessor. The safingsensor is used to verify the need for an airbag
deployment by detecting impact energy of a lesser
magnitude than that of the primary electronic impact
sensors, and must exceed a safing threshold in order
for the airbags to deploy. The ACM also monitors a
Hall effect-type seat belt switch located in the buckle
of each front seat belt to determine whether the seat-
belts are buckled, and provides an input to the EMIC
over the PCI data bus to control the seatbelt indica-
tor operation based upon the status of the driver side
front seat belt switch. Vehicles with the optional side
curtain airbags feature a second safing sensor within
the ACM to provide confirmation to the ACM of side
impact forces. This second safing sensor is a bi-direc-
tional unit that detects impact forces from either side
of the vehicle.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms in the ACM
microprocessor determine when the deceleration rate
as signaled by the impact sensors and the safing sen-
sors indicate an impact that is severe enough to
require supplemental restraint system protection.
The ACM also determines the level of front airbag
deployment force required for each front seating posi-
tion based upon the status of the two seat belt switch
inputs and the severity of the monitored impact.
When the programmed conditions are met, the ACM
sends the proper electrical signals to deploy the mul-
tistage dual front airbags at the programmed force
levels, and to deploy either side curtain airbag.
The hard wired inputs and outputs for the ACM
may be diagnosed and tested using conventional
diagnostic tools and procedures. However, conven-
tional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in
the diagnosis of the ACM, the PCI data bus network,
or the electronic message inputs to and outputs from
the ACM. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the ACM, the PCI data bus net-
work, and the electronic message inputs to and out-
puts from the ACM requires the use of a DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation.
REMOVAL
Two different Airbag Control Modules (ACM) are
available for this vehicle. For vehicles equipped with
the optional side curtain airbags, both ACM connec-
tor receptacles are black in color and the ACM con-
tains a second bi-directional safing sensor for the
side airbags. For vehicles not equipped with the
optional side curtain airbags, the ACM connector
receptacles are gray.

CHILD TETHER ANCHOR
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with fixed-position, child
seat tether anchors. Vehicles manufactured for sale
in North America have two stamped steel child
tether anchor brackets, one secured with a screw to
each outboard end of the inner liftgate opening
header at the rear of the passenger compartment
(Fig. 10). These child tether anchors are concealed
behind a removable molded plastic cap that snaps
into a bezel located in the headliner over each anchorbracket position. Vehicles manufactured for sale in
Rest-Of-World (ROW) markets have two anchors that
are integral to the back of the right rear seat back
panel, and one that is integral to the left rear seat
back panel (Fig. 11). The North American child seat
tether anchor brackets are available for separate ser-
vice replacement. The ROW child seat tether anchors
cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or dam-
aged, they must be replaced as a unit with the rear
seat back panel.

CLOCKSPRING
DESCRIPTION
The clockspring assembly is secured with two
screws to the multi-function switch mounting hous-
ing near the top of the steering column behind the
steering wheel (Fig. 13). The clockspring consists of a
flat, round molded plastic case with a stubby tail
that hangs below the steering column and contains
two connector receptacles that face toward the
instrument panel (Fig. 14). Within the plastic hous-ing is a spool-like molded plastic rotor with a large
exposed hub. The upper surface of the rotor hub has
a large center hole, two large flats, an index hole,
two short pigtail wires with connectors, and two con-
nector receptacles that face toward the steering
wheel.
The lower surface of the rotor hub has three pins,
two round and one oblong. These pins index the
clockspring to the turn signal cancel cam unit in the
multi-function switch mounting housing. Within the
plastic case and wound around the rotor spool is a
long ribbon-like tape that consists of several thin cop-
per wire leads sandwiched between two thin plastic
membranes. The outer end of the tape terminates at
the connector receptacles that face the instrument
panel, while the inner end of the tape terminates at
the pigtail wires and connector receptacles on the
hub of the clockspring rotor that face the steering
wheel.
Service replacement clocksprings are shipped pre-
centered and with a molded plastic locking pin
installed. The locking pin secures the centered clock-
spring rotor to the clockspring case during shipment
and handling, but must be removed from the clock-
spring after it and the multi-function switch mount-
ing housing are installed on the steering column.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/CLOCK-
SPRING - STANDARD PROCEDURE - CLOCK-
SPRING CENTERING).
The clockspring cannot be repaired. If the clock-
spring is faulty, damaged, or if the driver airbag has
been deployed, the clockspring must be replaced.
