continuous duty for 110/115 volts and 60 Hz. They
must also have a field strength of over 350 gauss at 7
millimeters (0.25 inch) beyond the tip of the probe.
To demagnetize the roof panel and the overhead
console forward mounting screw, proceed as follows:
(1) Be certain that the ignition switch is in the Off
position, before you begin the demagnetizing proce-
dure.
(2) Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical
outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61 centimeters
(2 feet) away from the compass unit.
(3) Slowly approach the head of the overhead con-
sole forward mounting screw with the degaussing
tool connected.
(4) Contact the head of the screw with the plastic
coated tip of the degaussing tool for about two sec-
onds.
(5) With the degaussing tool still energized, slowly
back it away from the screw. When the tip of the tool
is at least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from the screw
head, disconnect the tool.
(6) Place a piece of paper approximately 22 by 28
centimeters (8.5 by 11 inches), oriented on the vehicle
lengthwise from front to rear, on the center line of
the roof at the windshield header (Fig. 4). The pur-
pose of the paper is to protect the roof panel from
scratches, and to define the area to be demagnetized.
(7) Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical
outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61 centimeters
(2 feet) away from the compass unit.
(8) Slowly approach the center line of the roof
panel at the windshield header, with the degaussing
tool connected.
(9) Contact the roof panel with the plastic coated
tip of the degaussing tool. Be sure that the template
is in place to avoid scratching the roof panel. Using a
slow, back-and-forth sweeping motion, and allowing
13 millimeters (0.50 inch) between passes, move the
tool at least 11 centimeters (4 inches) to each side of
the roof center line, and 28 centimeters (11 inches)
back from the windshield header.
(10) With the degaussing tool still energized,
slowly back it away from the roof panel. When the
tip of the tool is at least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from
the roof panel, disconnect the tool.
(11) Calibrate the compass and adjust the compass
variance (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD
CONSOLE - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
STANDARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS
VARIATION ADJUSTMENT
Compass variance, also known as magnetic decli-
nation, is the difference in angle between magnetic
north and true geographic north. In some geographic
locations, the difference between magnetic and geo-
graphic north is great enough to cause the compassto give false readings. If this problem occurs, the
compass variance setting may need to be changed.
To set the compass variance:
(1) Using the Variance Settings map, find your
geographic location and note the zone number (Fig.
5).
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. If
the compass/thermometer data is not currently being
displayed, momentarily depress and release the C/T
push button to reach the compass/thermometer dis-
play.
(3) Depress the Reset push button and hold the
button down until ªVARIANCE = XXº appears in the
display. This takes about five seconds.
(4) Release the Reset push button. ªVARIANCE
=XX º will remain in the display. ªXXº equals the cur-
rent variance zone setting.
(5) Momentarily depress and release the Step push
button to step through the zone numbers, until the
zone number for your geographic location appears in
the display.
(6) Momentarily depress and release the Reset
push button to enter the displayed zone number into
the CMTC module memory.
(7) Confirm that the correct directions are now
indicated by the compass.

Ifnone of the Driver or Passenger Squib 1 or 2
open are active codes, the status of the airbag squibs
is unknown. In this case the airbag should be han-
dled and disposed of as if the squibs were both live.
CLEANUP PROCEDURE
Following a supplemental restraint deployment,
the vehicle interior will contain a powdery residue.
This residue consists primarily of harmless particu-
late by-products of the small pyrotechnic charge that
initiates the propellant used to deploy a supplemen-
tal restraint. However, this residue may also contain
traces of sodium hydroxide powder, a chemical
by-product of the propellant material that is used to
generate the inert gas that inflates the airbag. Since
sodium hydroxide 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.
3).
WARNING: IF YOU EXPERIENCE SKIN IRRITATION
DURING CLEANUP, RUN COOL WATER OVER THE
AFFECTED AREA. ALSO, IF YOU EXPERIENCE IRRITA-
TION OF THE NOSE OR THROAT, EXIT THE VEHICLE
FOR FRESH AIR UNTIL THE IRRITATION CEASES. IF
IRRITATION CONTINUES, SEE A PHYSICIAN.
(1) Begin the cleanup by using a vacuum cleaner
to remove any residual powder from the vehicle inte-
rior. Clean from outside the vehicle and work your
way inside, so that you avoid kneeling or sitting on a
non-cleaned area.
(2) Be certain to vacuum the heater and air condi-
tioning outlets as well (Fig. 4). Run the heater and
air conditioner blower on the lowest speed setting
and vacuum any powder expelled from the outlets.
CAUTION: Deployed front airbags having two initiators
(squibs) in the airbag inflator may or may not have livepyrotechnic material within the inflator. Do not dispose
of these airbags unless you are sure of complete
deployment. Refer to AIRBAG SQUIB STATUS . Refer
to the Hazardous Substance Control System for
proper disposal procedures. Dispose of all non-de-
ployed and deployed airbags in a manner consistent
with state, provincial, local, and federal regulations.
(3) Next, remove the deployed supplemental
restraints from the vehicle. Refer to the appropriate
service removal procedures.
(4) You may need to vacuum the interior of the
vehicle a second time to recover all of the powder.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - VERIFICATION TEST
The following procedure should be performed using
a DRBIIItscan tool to verify proper supplemental
restraint system operation following the service or
replacement of any supplemental restraint system
component.

PASSENGER AIRBAG
DESCRIPTION
The rearward facing surface of the injection
molded, thermoplastic passenger airbag door is the
most visible part of the passenger airbag (Fig. 23).
The passenger airbag door is located above the glove
box opening in front of the front seat passenger seat-
ing position on the instrument panel. The integral
upper mounting flange is secured with five screws
and the lower mounting flange with six screws to the
instrument panel structural support. The passenger
airbag door includes an integral air conditioning
panel outlet housing and an integral side window
demister outlet. An integral stamped metal bracket
that reinforces the upper airbag door mounting
flange is secured to the back of the door unit with
heat stakes. The upper airbag door fasteners and
mounting flange are concealed beneath the instru-
ment panel top cover, while the lower fasteners and
mounting flange are concealed beneath a bezel on the
instrument panel above the glove box opening.
Located behind the passenger airbag door within
the instrument panel is the passenger airbag unit
(Fig. 24). The passenger airbag unit used in this
model is a multistage, Next Generation-type that
complies with revised federal airbag standards to
deploy with less force than those used in some prior
models. The passenger airbag unit consists of a
molded, glass-filled nylon plastic housing, a molded
plastic inner airbag cushion cover, the airbag cush-
ion, and the airbag inflator. The airbag housing con-tains the airbag inflator, while the inner cover
contains the folded airbag cushion. The inner cover
completely encloses the airbag cushion and is perma-
nently retained to the housing. The passenger airbag
unit is secured by two screws on each side to two
stamped metal mounting brackets that are fastened
with screws to the instrument panel structural sup-
port. The airbag cushion is constructed of a coated
nylon fabric. The airbag inflator is a dual-initiator,
hybrid-type unit that is secured to and sealed within
the airbag housing. A short four-wire pigtail harness
with a keyed, yellow connector insulator connects the
two inflator initiators to the vehicle electrical system
through a dedicated take out and connector of the
instrument panel wire harness.
The passenger airbag cannot be repaired, and must
be replaced if deployed, faulty, or in any way dam-
aged. The passenger airbag door and the passenger
airbag mounting brackets are available for separate
service replacement.
OPERATION
The multistage passenger airbag is deployed by
electrical signals generated by the Airbag Control
Module (ACM) through the passenger airbag squib 1
and squib 2 circuits to the two initiators in the air-
bag inflator. By using two initiators, the airbag can
be deployed at multiple levels of force. The force level
is controlled by the ACM to suit the monitored
impact conditions by providing one of three delay
intervals between the electrical signals provided to
the two initiators. The longer the delay between
these signals, the less forcefully the airbag will
deploy.

the engine compartment, on the front extension of
the right front wheel house panel below and behind
the right headlamp. This unit is designed to provide
the audible alert requirements for the ROW premium
VTA.
The alarm siren module consists of microprocessor-
based electronic control circuitry, the siren, and a
nickel metal hydride backup battery. All of the alarm
module components are protected and sealed within
a black molded plastic housing. A stamped steel
mounting bracket is secured to the module with
three stud plates and nuts that fit into slotted holes
at the top and each side of the bracket. The front
surface of the bracket features a tightly grouped
series of small holes that serves as an outlet for the
audible output of the alarm siren. The bottom of the
mounting bracket is bent at a right angle and has an
integral locating tab feature. Two mounting holes in
the horizontal surface of the bracket are used to
secure the alarm siren module to the wheel house
extension with two screws. An integral connector
receptacle extends forward from the upper left corner
of the alarm siren housing, and connects the unit to
the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the headlamp and dash
wire harness.
The alarm siren module cannot be repaired or
adjusted and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The microprocessor within the alarm siren module
performs the tasks required to provide the siren unit
features and functions based upon internal program-
ming and electronic arm and disarm message inputs
received from the Intrusion Transceiver Module
(ITM) over a dedicated serial bus communication cir-
cuit. The alarm siren module will self-detect prob-
lems with its internal and external power supply and
communication circuits, then send electronic mes-
sages indicating the problem to the ITM upon receiv-
ing a request from the ITM. The ITM will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for a detected alarm
siren module fault that can be retrieved with the
DRBIIItscan tool over the Programmable Communi-
cations Interface (PCI) data bus network through the
16-way data link connector located on the driver side
lower edge of the instrument panel.
When the Rest-Of-World (ROW) premium version
of the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) is armed, the alarm
siren module microprocessor continuously monitors
inputs from the ITM for messages to sound its inter-
nal siren and enters its auto-detect mode. While in
the auto-detect mode, if the alarm siren module
detects that its power supply or communication cir-
cuits are being tampered with or have been sabo-taged, it will sound an alarm and continue to operate
through its on-board backup battery. If the arm siren
module is in its disarmed mode when its power sup-
ply or communication circuits are interrupted, the
siren will not sound. The alarm module will also
notify the ITM when the backup battery requires
charging, and the ITM will send a message that will
allow the backup battery to be charged through the
battery current and ground circuits to the alarm
module only when the ignition switch is in the On
position and the engine is running. This will prevent
the charging of the alarm backup battery from
depleting the charge in the main vehicle battery
while the vehicle is not being operated.
The alarm siren module receives battery current
on a fused B(+) circuit through a fuse in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC), and receives ground
through a ground circuit and take out of the head-
lamp and dash wire harness. This ground take out
has a single eyelet terminal connector that is secured
by a ground screw to the left inner fender shield in
the engine compartment. These connections allow the
alarm siren module to remain operational, regardless
of the ignition switch position. The hard wired inputs
and outputs for the alarm siren module may be diag-
nosed and tested using conventional diagnostic tools
and procedures. However, conventional diagnostic
methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the internal circuitry or the backup battery of the
alarm siren module, the ITM, the serial bus commu-
nication line, or the electronic message inputs to and
outputs from the alarm siren module. The most reli-
able, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the
alarm siren module, the ITM, the serial bus commu-
nication line, and the electronic message inputs to
and outputs from the alarm siren module requires
the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appro-
priate diagnostic information.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Disconnect the headlamp and dash wire har-
ness connector for the alarm siren module from the
module connector receptacle (Fig. 14).
(3) Remove the two screws that secure the alarm
siren module to the front extension of the right front

(1) Position the alarm siren module onto the front
extension of the right front wheel house panel (Fig.
14).
KJVEHICLE THEFT SECURITY 8Q - 17
SIREN (Continued)

OPERATION
The front check valve provides more than one func-
tion in this application. It serves as a wye connector
fitting between the cowl grille panel and washer noz-
zle sections of the front washer supply hose. It also
prevents washer fluid from draining out of the front
washer supply hoses back to the washer reservoir.
This drain-back would result in a lengthy delay when
the front washer switch is actuated until washer
fluid was dispensed through the front washer noz-
zles, because the washer pump would have to refill
the front washer plumbing from the reservoir to the
nozzles. Finally, the front check valve prevents
washer fluid from siphoning through the front
washer nozzles after the front washer system is
turned Off.
Within the check valve body, a small check valve is
held in place against a seat by a small coiled spring
to restrict flow through the unit until the valve is
unseated by a predetermined inlet fluid pressure.
When the washer pump pressurizes and pumps
washer fluid from the reservoir through the front
washer plumbing, the fluid pressure overrides the
spring pressure applied to the check valve and
unseats the valve, allowing washer fluid to flow
toward the front washer nozzles. When the washer
pump stops operating, spring pressure seats the
check valve and fluid flow in either direction within
the front washer plumbing is prevented.
REMOVAL
(1) Unlatch and open the hood.
(2) Remove both front wiper arms from the wiper
pivots. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/WASH-
ERS - FRONT/FRONT WIPER ARM - REMOVAL).
(3) Remove the cowl plenum cover/grille panel

FRONT WASHER HOSES/
TUBES
DESCRIPTION
The front washer plumbing consists of a small
diameter rubber hose that is routed from the barbed
outlet nipple of the reversible electric washer pump/
motor unit on the washer reservoir through a trough
molded into the reservoir forward of the washer
pump and along the reservoir filler neck into the
engine compartment (Fig. 5). Within the engine com-
partment, the front washer hose is routed side by
side with the engine compartment rear washer hose
along the top of the right front fender wheel house to
the dash panel. Molded plastic routing clips secure
the hoses to the headlamp and dash wire harness in
the engine compartment (Fig. 6).
The front washer hose is connected in the engine
compartment to the barbed nipple of a molded plastic
in-line fitting installed through a rubber grommet in
a hole in the right side of the dash plenum panel.
The barbed nipple of the in-line fitting protrudes
through the other side of the rubber grommet into
the cowl plenum area, where the cowl plenum
washer hose joins the front washer hose to the frontcheck valve/wye fitting. The cowl plenum washer
hose is routed through integral routing clips on the
underside of the cowl plenum cover/grille panel to the
molded plastic wye fitting. The cowl plenum washer
hose is connected to one nipple on the wye fitting and
the two washer nozzle hoses are connected to the
other two wye fitting nipples. The washer nozzle
hoses are then routed along the underside of the cowl
plenum cover/grille panel to the two front washer
nozzles.
Washer hose is available for service only as roll
stock, which must then be cut to length. The molded
plastic washer hose fittings cannot be repaired. If
these fittings are faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced.
OPERATION
Washer fluid in the washer reservoir is pressurized
and fed by the washer pump/motor through the front
washer system plumbing and fittings to the two front
washer nozzles. Whenever routing the washer hose
or a wire harness containing a washer hose, it must
be routed away from hot, sharp, or moving parts;
and, sharp bends that might pinch the hose must be
avoided.

WASHER FLUID LEVEL
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The washer fluid level switch is a single pole, sin-
gle throw reed-type switch mounted at the rear of
the sump area near the bottom of the washer reser-
voir (Fig. 16). Only the molded plastic switch mount-
ing flange and the integral connector receptacle are
visible when the switch is installed in the reservoir.
A short nipple formation extends from the inner sur-
face of the switch mounting flange, and a barb on the
nipple near the switch mounting flange is pressed
through a rubber grommet seal installed in the
mounting hole of the reservoir. A small, molded plas-
tic float has two pivot pins near its center that are
snapped into two receptacles near the ends of two
stanchions that extend toward the float from the
switch nipple formation. A small magnet is secured
within the end of the float nearest the switch nipple
formation, and a reed switch is concealed within the
nipple. A diagnostic resistor is connected between the
two switch terminals within the switch mounting
flange. The washer fluid level switch cannot be
adjusted or repaired. If faulty or damaged, the switch
must be replaced.
OPERATION
The washer fluid level switch uses a pivoting,
oblong float to monitor the level of the washer fluid
in the washer reservoir. The float contains a small
magnet. When the float pivots, the proximity of this
magnet to a stationary reed switch within the nipple
formation of the switch changes. When the fluid level
in the washer reservoir is at or above the float level,
the float moves to a vertical position, the influence of
the float magnetic field is removed from the reed
switch, and the normally open reed switch contacts
open. When the fluid level in the washer reservoir
falls below the level of the pivoting float, the float
moves to a horizontal position, the influence of the
float magnetic field is applied to the reed switch, and
the contacts of the normally open reed switch close.
The washer fluid level switch is connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take
out and connector of the headlamp and dash wire
harness. The switch is connected in series between
ground and the washer fluid switch sense input to
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC).
The switch receives a path to ground at all times
through another take out of the headlamp and dash
wire harness with a single eyelet terminal connector
that is secured under a ground screw near the front
of the left front fender inner shield in the engine
compartment. When the switch closes, the EMIC
senses the ground on the washer fluid switch sense
circuit. The EMIC is programmed to respond to this
input by illuminating the washer fluid indicator and
by sounding an audible chime tone warning.
The washer fluid level switch input to the EMIC
can be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools
and methods. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRU-
MENT CLUSTER/WASHER FLUID INDICATOR -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
REMOVAL
The washer fluid level switch can be removed from
the washer reservoir without removing the reservoir
from the vehicle.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Raise and support the vehicle.
(3) Remove the splash shield from the right front

WASHER PUMP/MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The washer pump/motor unit (Fig. 18) is located on
the outboard side of the washer reservoir, on the out-
board side of the right front frame rail behind the
right front wheel house splash shield. A small perma-
nently lubricated and sealed reversible electric motor
is coupled to the rotor-type washer pump. The use of
an integral shuttle valve allows the washer pump/
motor unit to provide washer fluid to either the front
or the rear washer systems, depending upon the
direction of the motor/pump impeller rotation. A seal
flange with a barbed inlet nipple on the pump hous-
ing passes through a rubber grommet seal installed
in a dedicated mounting hole of the washer reservoir.
When the pump is installed in the reservoir the front
barbed outlet nipple on the pump shuttle valve hous-
ing connects the unit to the front washer hose and
the rear barbed outlet nipple connects the unit to the
rear washer hose. The letters ªFº and ªRº molded
into the shuttle valve housing adjacent to each nipple
provide further clarification of the nipple assign-
ments.
The washer pump/motor unit is retained on the
reservoir by the interference fit between the barbed
pump inlet nipple and the grommet seal, which is a
light press fit. The top of the washer pump is also
secured to the washer reservoir by the use of a snap
post on the motor and a snap post receptacle molded
into the reservoir that allows for mounting of the
washer pump without the use of fasteners. An inte-
gral connector receptacle on the top of the motor

housing connects the unit to the vehicle electrical
system through a dedicated take out and connector of
the headlamp and dash wire harness. The washer
pump/motor unit cannot be repaired. If faulty or
damaged, the entire washer pump/motor unit must
be replaced.
OPERATION
The washer pump/motor unit features a reversible
electric motor. The direction of the motor is con-
trolled by hard wired outputs from the momentary
front and rear washer switch circuitry contained
within the right (wiper) control stalk of the multi-
function switch. When battery current and ground
are applied to the two pump motor terminals, the
motor rotates in one direction. When the polarity of
these connections is reversed, the motor rotates in
the opposite direction. When the pump motor is ener-
gized, the rotor-type pump pressurizes the washer
fluid and forces it through one of the two pump out-
let nipples, and into the front or rear washer plumb-
ing.Washer fluid is gravity-fed from the washer reser-
voir to the inlet port of the washer pump housing. An
integral shuttle valve is located in a housing on the
outlet port side of the pump housing (Fig. 19). This
shuttle valve controls which washer system plumbing
receives the washer fluid being pressurized by the
pump. When the pump impeller rotates in the coun-
terclockwise direction (viewed from the bottom), pres-
surized washer fluid is pushed out the front washer
system port and biases the shuttle valve to the left,
sealing off the rear washer system outlet nipple.
When the pump impeller rotates in the clockwise
direction (viewed from the bottom), pressurized
washer fluid is pushed out the rear washer system
port and biases the shuttle valve to the right, sealing
off the front washer system outlet nipple.
The washer pump/motor unit can be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and methods.
