STANDARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS
CALIBRATION
CAUTION: Do not place any external magnets, such
as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the vicinity of
the compass. Do not use magnetic tools when ser-
vicing the overhead console.The electronic compass unit features a self-cali-
brating design, which simplifies the calibration pro-
cedure. This feature automatically updates the
compass calibration while the vehicle is being driven.
This allows the compass unit to compensate for small
changes in the residual magnetism that the vehicle
may acquire during normal use. If the compass read-
ings appear to be erratic or out of calibration, per-
form the following calibration procedure. Also, new
service replacement Compass Mini-Trip Computer
(CMTC) modules must have their compass calibrated
using this procedure. Do not attempt to calibrate the
compass near large metal objects such as other vehi-
cles, large buildings, or bridges; or, near overhead or
underground power lines.
NOTE: Whenever the compass is calibrated manu-
ally, the variance number must also be reset. Refer
to Compass Variation Adjustment in this group.
Calibrate the compass manually as follows:
(1) 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.
(2) Depress the Reset push button and hold the
button down until ªCALº appears in the display. This
takes about ten seconds, and appears about five sec-
onds after ªVARIANCE = XXº is displayed.
(3) Release the Reset push button.
(4) Drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from
large metal objects and power lines, through three or
more complete circles at between five and eight kilo-
meters-per-hour (three and five miles-per-hour) in
not less than 48 seconds. The ªCALº message will
disappear from the display to indicate that the com-
pass is now calibrated.
NOTE: If the ªCALº message remains in the display,
either there is excessive magnetism near the com-
pass, or the unit is faulty. Repeat the calibration
procedure one more time.
NOTE: If the wrong direction is still indicated in the
compass display, the area selected for calibration
may be too close to a strong magnetic field. Repeat
the calibration procedure in another location.STANDARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS
DEMAGNETIZING
A degaussing tool (Special Tool 6029) is used to
demagnetize, or degauss, the overhead console for-
ward mounting screw and the roof panel above the
overhead console. Equivalent units must be rated as

airbag unit, the headliner, as well as the upper A, B,
and C-pillar trim must be replaced. These compo-
nents are not intended for reuse and will be damaged
or weakened as a result of a supplemental restraint
deployment, which may or may not be obvious during
a visual inspection.
On vehicles with an optional sunroof, the sunroof
drain tubes and hoses must be closely inspected fol-
lowing a side curtain airbag deployment. It is also
critical that the mounting surfaces and/or mounting
brackets for the Airbag Control Module (ACM), Side
Impact Airbag Control Module (SIACM), and front
impact sensors be closely inspected and restored to
their original conditions following any vehicle impact
damage. Because the ACM, SIACM, and each front
impact sensor are used by the supplemental restraint
system to monitor or confirm the direction and sever-
ity of a vehicle impact, improper orientation or inse-
cure 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 other sup-
plemental 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 andall 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
following procedure should be performed using a
DRBIIItscan tool to verify the status of both airbag
squibs before either deployed airbag is removed from
the vehicle for disposal.
CAUTION: Deployed front airbags having two initia-
tors (squibs) in the airbag inflator may or may not
have live pyrotechnic material within the inflator. Do
not dispose of these airbags unless you are sure of
complete deployment. Refer to the Hazardous Sub-
stance Control System for proper disposal proce-
dures. Dispose of all non-deployed and deployed
airbags in a manner consistent with state, provin-
cial, local, and federal regulations.
(1) Be certain that the DRBIIItscan tool contains
the latest version of the proper DRBIIItsoftware.
Connect the DRBIIItto the 16-way Data Link Con-
nector (DLC). The DLC is located on the driver side
lower edge of the instrument panel, outboard of the
steering column.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
(3) Using the DRBIIIt, read and record the active
(current) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) data.
Using the active DTC information, refer to theAir-
bag Squib Statustable to determine the status of
both driver and/or passenger airbag squibs.

SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG
DESCRIPTION
Optional side curtain airbags are available for this
model when it is also equipped with dual front air-
bags. These airbags are passive, inflatable, Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS) components, and
vehicles with this equipment can be readily identified
by a molded identification trim button with the ªSRS
- AIRBAGº logo located on the headliner above each
B-pillar (Fig. 36). This system is designed to reduce
injuries to the vehicle occupants in the event of a
side impact collision.
Vehicles equipped with side curtain airbags have
two individually controlled curtain airbag units.
These airbag units are concealed and mounted above
the headliner where they are each secured to one of
the roof side rails (Fig. 37). Each folded airbag cush-
ion is contained within a long extruded plastic chan-
nel that extends along the roof rail from the A-pillar
at the front of the vehicle to just behind the C-pillar
at the rear of the vehicle. The channel is secured
with plastic push-in fasteners to the roof rail. A
tether extends down the A-pillar from the front of the
airbag cushion, where it is retained to the pillar with
plastic push-in routing clips and it is secured to the
base of the A-pillar near the belt line with a screw.
The hybrid-type inflator for each airbag is secured
to the roof rail at the rear of the airbag unit between
the C-pillar and the D-pillar, and is connected to the
airbag cushion by a long tubular manifold. The
bracket holding the inflator and three other brackets
holding the manifold are secured to the roof rail with
Fig. 36 SRS Logo

screws. A two-wire pigtail harness is routed forward
from the airbag inflator through a trough along the
top of the plastic airbag channel on the roof rail and
down the B-pillar, where it is retained by three rout-
ing clips. The pigtail harness is connected to a take
out and connector of the body wire harness on the
B-pillar, which connects to the respective right or left
Side Impact Airbag Control Module (SIACM) on the
sill panel at the base of the B-pillar.
The side curtain airbag unit cannot be adjusted or
repaired and must be replaced if deployed, faulty, or
in any way damaged. Once a side curtain airbag has
been deployed, the complete airbag unit, the head-
liner, the upper A, B, and C-pillar trim, and all other
visibly damaged components must be replaced.
OPERATION
Each side curtain airbag is deployed individually by
an electrical signal generated by the left or right Side
Impact Airbag Control Module (SIACM) to which it is
connected through left or right curtain airbag line 1 and
line 2 (or squib) circuits. The hybrid-type inflatorassembly for each airbag contains a small canister of
highly compressed helium gas. When the SIACM sends
the proper electrical signal to the airbag inflator, the
electrical energy creates enough heat to ignite chemical
pellets within the inflator. Once ignited, these chemicals
burn rapidly and produce the pressure necessary to rup-
ture a containment disk in the helium gas canister. The
inflator and helium gas canister are sealed and con-
nected to a tubular manifold so that all of the released
gas is directed into the folded curtain airbag cushion,
causing the cushion to inflate.
As the airbag cushion inflates it will drop down
from the roof rail between the edge of the headliner
and the side glass/body pillars to form a curtain-like
cushion to protect the vehicle occupants during a side
impact collision. The front tether keeps the front por-
tion of the bag taut, thus ensuring that the bag will
deploy in the proper position. Following the airbag
deployment, the airbag cushion quickly deflates by
venting the helium gas through the loose weave of
the cushion fabric, and the deflated cushion hangs
down loosely from the roof rail.

INTRUSION TRANSCEIVER
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
An Intrusion Transceiver Module (ITM) is part of
the Rest-Of-World (ROW) premium version of the
Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) in the Vehicle Theft Secu-
rity System (VTSS) (Fig. 9). The ROW premium ver-
sion of the VTA is only available in vehicles built for
certain markets, where the additional features
offered by this system are required. The ITM is
located in the passenger compartment, on the lower
surface of the headliner near the center of the vehi-cle. This unit is designed to provide interior motion
detection, and serve as an interface between the
Body Control Module (BCM) and the alarm siren
module.
The ITM is concealed beneath a dedicated molded
plastic trim cover that approximates the size and
shape of a typical dome lamp housing. However,
rather than a lens, the ITM features three sets of
louvered openings in a molded lateral center rib for-
mation. One set of louvered openings is located at
each outboard end of the center rib, while the third
set is centered. Each of the louvered openings is cov-
ered on the inside by a single molded black plastic
sight shield that extends the length of the center rib
for appearance. The module is secured to a molded
plastic mounting bracket above the headliner by four
latch features that are integral to the underside of
the module housing. Besides the ITM, the trim cover
also conceals two plastic pins integral to the mount-
ing bracket that are used to secure the bracket to the
headliner with two stamped nuts that are installed
from below. An adhesive-backed foam pad is installed
above the ITM bracket between the headliner and
the roof panel to provide additional headliner stabili-
zation and support for the ITM mounting. Two small
notch-like service holes on the rear edge of the trim
cover afford access to the two integral rear latches of
the ITM for service removal (Fig. 10).
The ITM circuitry is contained within a black
molded plastic housing with four integral mounting
tabs that are secured to the back of the trim cover
with four screws. Concealed within the housing is the
