• Seat Belt Tensioner (10) - A seat belt tensioner is integral to both front seat belt buckle units on vehiclesequipped with dual front airbags. The seat belt buckle tensioner units are secured to the inboard front seatcushion frames and concealed beneath the inboard seat cushion side shield trim.

• Seat Track Position Sensor (8) - The Occupant Classification System (OCS) includes two seat track positionsensors. One sensor is located on the inboard side of one of the seat adjuster tracks on both the driver andthe passenger front seats.

• Seat Weight Sensor (7) - Vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS) include four seatweight sensors, one on each corner of the passenger side front seat between the seat cushion frame and theseat track.

• Side Curtain Airbag (11) - In vehicles equipped with this option, a side curtain airbag is secured to eachinside roof side rail, and extends from the A-pillar to just beyond the C-pillar. The side curtain airbags areconcealed above the headliner trim.

• Side Impact Sensor (9) - Four side impact sensors are used on vehicles equipped with the optional sidecurtain airbags, two on each side of the vehicle. One sensor is located behind the B-pillar trim near the baseof each B-pillar, and one sensor is located behind the quarter panel trim near the base of each C-pillar.

The ORC, the OCM, and the EMIC each contain a microprocessor and programming that allow them to communi-cate with each other using the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. This method of communication is used bythe ORC for control of the airbag indicator in the EMIC. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-ULES/COMMUNICATION - DESCRIPTION).

Hard wired circuitry connects the supplemental restraint system components to each other through the electricalsystem of the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which are routed throughoutthe vehicle and retained by many different methods. These circuits may be connected to each other, to the vehicleelectrical system, and to the supplemental restraint system components through the use of a combination of sol-dered splices, splice block connectors, and many different types of wire harness terminal connectors and insulators.Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and con-nector repair procedures, further details on wire harness routing and retention, as well as pin-out and location viewsfor the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.

OPERATION

ACTIVE RESTRAINTSThe primary passenger restraints in this or any other vehicle are the standard equipment factory-installed seat beltsand child restraint anchors. Seat belts and child restraint anchors are referred to as an active restraint because thevehicle occupants are required to physically fasten and properly adjust these restraints in order to benefit from them.See the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box for more information on the features, use and operation of all ofthe factory-installed active restraints.

PASSIVE RESTRAINTSThe passive restraints are referred to as a supplemental restraint system because they were designed and areintended to enhance the protection for the occupants of the vehicle only when used in conjunction with the seatbelts. They are referred to as passive restraints because the vehicle occupants are not required to do anything tomake them operate; however, the vehicle occupants must be wearing their seat belts in order to obtain the maxi-mum safety benefit from the factory-installed supplemental restraint system.

The supplemental restraint system electrical circuits are continuously monitored and controlled by a microprocessorand software contained within the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). An airbag indicator in the ElectroMechanicalInstrument Cluster (EMIC) illuminates for about seven seconds as a bulb test each time the ignition switch is turnedto the On or Start positions. Following the bulb test, the airbag indicator is turned on or off by the ORC to indicatethe status of the supplemental restraint system. If the airbag indicator comes on at any time other than during thebulb test, it indicates that there is a problem in the supplemental restraint system electrical circuits. Such a problemmay cause airbags not to deploy when required, or to deploy when not required.

Deployment of the supplemental restraints depends upon the angle and severity of an impact. Deployment is notbased upon vehicle speed; rather, deployment is based upon the rate of deceleration as measured by the forces ofgravity (G force) upon the impact sensors. When an impact is severe enough, the microprocessor in the ORC sig-nals the inflator of the appropriate airbag units to deploy their airbag cushions. The front seat belt tensioners areprovided with a deployment signal by the ORC in conjunction with the front airbags.

WK RESTRAINTS - SERVICE INFORMATION 8O - 431

Page 432: 20027910 Jeep WK Grand Cherokee Section 08O Restraints

During a frontal vehicle impact, the knee blockers work in concert with properly fastened and adjusted seat belts torestrain both the driver and the front seat passenger in the proper position for an airbag deployment. The kneeblockers also absorb and distribute the crash energy from the driver and the front seat passenger to the structureof the instrument panel. The seat belt tensioners remove the slack from the front seat belts to provide further assur-ance that the driver and front seat passenger are properly positioned and restrained for an airbag deployment.

Typically, the vehicle occupants recall more about the events preceding and following a collision than they do of anairbag deployment itself. This is because the airbag deployment and deflation occur very rapidly. In a typical 48kilometer-per-hour (30 mile-per-hour) barrier impact, from the moment of impact until the airbags are fully inflatedtakes about 40 milliseconds. Within one to two seconds from the moment of impact, the airbags are almost entirelydeflated. The times cited for these events are approximations, which apply only to a barrier impact at the givenspeed. Actual times will vary somewhat, depending upon the vehicle speed, impact angle, severity of the impact,and the type of collision.

When the ORC monitors a problem in any of the dual front airbag system circuits or components, including the seatbelt tensioners, it stores a fault code or Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in its memory circuit and sends an elec-tronic message to the EMIC to turn on the airbag indicator. Proper testing of the supplemental restraint systemcomponents, the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus, the electronic message inputs to and outputs from theEMIC or the ORC, as well as the retrieval or erasure of a DTC from the ORC or the EMIC requires the use of adiagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

See the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box for more information on the features, use and operation of all ofthe factory-installed passive restraints.

OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

In vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS), the OCS automatically suppresses or enablespassenger airbag and seat belt tensioner operation based upon whether or not the passenger side front seat isoccupied and, if the seat is occupied, classifies the size of the occupant and whether the seat is occupied by a childseat.

The OCS has an Occupant Classification Module (OCM) that monitors inputs from the seat weight sensors underthe passenger side front seat cushion and from the seat track position sensors on the passenger side and driverside seat adjuster tracks. Based upon those inputs the microprocessor within the OCM classifies the occupant of thepassenger side front seat, and the proximity of each front seat to the front airbags. The OCM then sends electronicoccupant classification messages to the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). The microprocessor and program-ming of the ORC determines whether to enable or disable the deployment circuits for the passenger airbag and seatbelt tensioner; and, if enabled, what force level should be used to deploy each front airbag.

The OCS electrical circuits and components are continuously monitored by the OCM, and the OCM is continuouslymonitored by the ORC. A passenger airbag on/off indicator is located in the upper switch pod near the top of theinstrument panel lower center bezel. This indicator receives battery current whenever the ignition switch is in the Onor Start positions, and illuminates only when the ORC pulls the indicator control circuit to ground. The indicatorilluminates for about seven seconds as a bulb test each time the ignition switch is turned to the On or Start posi-tions. Following the bulb test, the indicator is turned on or off by the ORC based upon the electronic occupantclassification messages received from the OCM. This indicator is illuminated whenever the seat is occupied andpassenger airbag and seat belt tensioner operation has been suppressed. The indicator is turned off whenever theseat is empty, or when the seat is occupied and the passenger airbag and seat belt tensioner are enabled.

When the OCM monitors a problem in any of the OCS circuits or components, it stores a fault code or DTC in itsmemory circuit and sends an electronic message to the ORC. The ORC then sends an electronic message to theElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) to turn on the airbag indicator. If for any reason the OCM is unable toclassify the occupant it sends an electronic message to the ORC, and the ORC suppresses passenger airbag andseat belt tensioner operation. Proper testing of the OCS components, the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus,the electronic message inputs to and outputs from the OCM, the EMIC or the ORC, as well as the retrieval orerasure of a DTC from the OCM, the ORC or the EMIC requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to theappropriate diagnostic information.

See the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box for more information on the features, use and operation of theOCS.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, when a steering column has an airbag unit attached, neverplace the column on the floor or any other surface with the steering wheel or airbag unit face down.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMProper diagnosis and testing of the supplemental restraint system components, the Controller Area Network (CAN)data bus, the data bus electronic message inputs to and outputs from the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster(EMIC), the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), or the Occupant Classification Module (OCM) as well as theretrieval or erasure of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) from the ORC or OCM requires the use of a diagnosticscan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplementalrestraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, occupant classification sys-tem, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnectand isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to dischargebefore performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the supplementalrestraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

STANDARD PROCEDURE

HANDLING NON-DEPLOYED SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINTSAt no time should any source of electricity be permitted near the inflator on the back of a non-deployed airbag orseat belt tensioner. When carrying a non-deployed airbag, the trim cover or airbag cushion side of the unit shouldbe pointed away from the body to minimize injury in the event of an accidental deployment. If the airbag unit isplaced on a bench or any other surface, the trim cover or airbag cushion side of the unit should be face up tominimize movement in the event of an accidental deployment.

When handling a non-deployed seat belt tensioner, take proper care to keep fingers away from the scabbardbetween the buckle and the tensioner unit. In addition, the supplemental restraint system should be disarmed when-ever any steering wheel, steering column, seat belt tensioner, airbag, impact sensor, Occupant Classification System(OCS), or instrument panel components require diagnosis or service. Failure to observe this warning could result inaccidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury.

All damaged, faulty or non-deployed airbags and seat belt tensioners which are replaced on vehicles are to behandled and disposed of properly. If an airbag or seat belt tensioner unit is faulty or damaged and non-deployed,refer to the Hazardous Substance Control System for proper disposal. Dispose of all non-deployed and deployedairbags and seat belt tensioners in a manner consistent with state, provincial, local and federal regulations.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT STORAGEAirbags and seat belt tensioners 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 facing up, tominimize movement in case of an accidental deployment.

SERVICE AFTER A SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT DEPLOYMENTAny vehicle which is to be returned to use following a supplemental restraint deployment, must have the deployedrestraints replaced. In addition, if the driver airbag has been deployed, the clockspring/Steering Control Module(SCM) must be replaced. If the passenger airbag is deployed, the instrument panel top pad must be replaced. Theseat belt tensioners are deployed by the same signal that deploys the driver and passenger airbags and must alsobe replaced if either front airbag has been deployed. If a side curtain airbag has been deployed, the complete air-bag unit, the headliner, as well as the upper A, B, C and D-pillar trim must be replaced. These components are notintended for reuse and will be damaged or weakened as a result of a supplemental restraint deployment, which mayor may not be obvious during a visual inspection.

On vehicles with an optional sunroof, the sunroof drain tubes and hoses must be closely inspected following a sidecurtain airbag deployment. It is also critical that the mounting surfaces and/or mounting brackets for the OccupantRestraint Controller (ORC), side impact sensors, and front impact sensors be closely inspected and restored to theiroriginal conditions following any vehicle impact damage. Because the ORC and each front and side impact sensor

8O - 434 RESTRAINTS - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

Page 435: 20027910 Jeep WK Grand Cherokee Section 08O Restraints

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, orto deploy when not required.

All other vehicle components should be closely inspected following any supplemental restraint deployment, but areto be replaced only as required by the extent of the visible damage incurred.

AIRBAG SQUIB STATUSMultistage airbags with multiple initiators (squibs) must be checked to determine that all squibs were used duringthe deployment event. The driver and passenger airbags in this model are deployed by electrical signals generatedby the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) through the driver or passenger squib 1 and squib 2 circuits to the twoinitiators in the airbag inflators. Typically, both initiators are used and all potentially hazardous chemicals are burnedduring an airbag deployment event. However, it is possible for only one initiator to be used due to an airbag systemfault; therefore, it is always necessary to confirm that both initiators have been used in order to avoid the improperhandling or disposal of potentially live pyrotechnic or hazardous materials. The following procedure should be per-formed using a diagnostic scan tool to verify the status of both airbag squibs before either deployed airbag isremoved from the vehicle for disposal.

CAUTION: Deployed front airbags having two initiators (squibs) in the airbag inflator may or may not havelive pyrotechnic material within the inflator. Do not dispose of these airbags unless you are sure of com-plete deployment. Refer to the Hazardous Substance Control System for proper disposal procedures. Dis-pose of all non-deployed and deployed airbags and seat belt tensioners in a manner consistent with state,provincial, local, and federal regulations.

1. Be certain that the diagnostic scan tool contains the latest version of the proper diagnostic software. Connect thescan tool to the 16-way Data Link Connector (DLC). The DLC is located on the driver side lower edge of theinstrument panel, outboard of the steering column.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the On position.

3. Using the scan tool, read and record the active (current) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) data.

Using the active DTC information, refer to the Airbag Squib Status table to determine the status of both driverand/or passenger airbag squibs.

CLEANUP PROCEDURE

Following a supplemental restraint deployment, thevehicle interior will contain a powdery residue. Thisresidue consists primarily of harmless particulateby-products of the small pyrotechnic charge that ini-tiates the propellant used to deploy a supplementalrestraint. However, this residue may also containtraces of sodium hydroxide powder, a chemicalby-product of the propellant material that is used togenerate the inert gas that inflates the airbag. Sincesodium hydroxide powder can irritate the skin, eyes,nose, or throat, be certain to wear safety glasses, rub-ber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt during cleanup.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, if you experience skin irritation during cleanup, run cool waterover the affected area. Also, if you experience irritation of the nose or throat, exit the vehicle for fresh airuntil the irritation ceases. If irritation continues, see a physician.

1. Begin the cleanup by using a vacuum cleaner toremove any residual powder from the vehicle inte-rior. Clean from outside the vehicle and work yourway inside, so that you avoid kneeling or sitting ona non-cleaned area.

2. Be certain to vacuum the heater and air condition-ing outlets as well. Run the heater and air condi-tioner blower on the lowest speed setting andvacuum any powder expelled from the outlets.

CAUTION: Deployed front airbags having two initi-ators (squibs) in the airbag inflator may or maynot have live pyrotechnic material within the infla-tor. Do not dispose of these airbags unless youare sure of complete deployment. Refer to AIRBAGSQUIB STATUS . All damaged, faulty, or non-de-ployed supplemental restraints which are replacedon vehicles are to be handled and disposed of properly. If an airbag or seat belt tensioner unit is faulty ordamaged and non-deployed, refer to the Hazardous Substance Control System for proper disposal. Be cer-tain to dispose of all non-deployed and deployed supplemental restraints 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 removalprocedures.

4. You may need to vacuum the interior of the vehicle a second time to recover all of the powder.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINTS VERIFICATION TESTThe following procedure should be performed using a diagnostic scan tool to verify proper supplemental restraintsystem operation following the service or replacement of any supplemental restraint system component. In addition,if the vehicle is equipped with the Occupant Classification System and one of the passenger front seat supplementalrestraint components has been replaced, following successful completion of the supplemental restraint system ver-ification test procedure, perform the Occupant Classification System Verification Test using a diagnostic scan tool.Refer to the appropriate diagnostic procedures.

CLOCKSPRING

DESCRIPTION

The clockspring for this model is internal to and ser-viced as a unit with the Steering Control Module(SCM) (4). The SCM is secured near the top of thesteering column behind the steering wheel. The SCMis a modular unit that also interfaces with and sup-ports the left (lighting) multi-function switch (1), theright (wiper) multi-function switch (2), and the hazardswitch (3). Each of these switches can be separatedfrom and are serviced individually from the SCM.

Besides the clockspring, the SCM contains an elec-tronic circuit board and a microprocessor, which allowsit to communicate with other electronic modules in thevehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) databus. On models so equipped, the SCM also includesan integral Steering Angle Sensor (SAS). The SCMcircuitry, the clockspring, and the SAS are all con-tained within a flat, round molded plastic case.

The SCM case includes two connector receptacles that face toward the instrument panel. Within the plastic case isa spool-like molded plastic rotor with a large exposed hub. The upper surface of the rotor hub has a large, keyedcenter hole, an index hole, two short pigtail wires with connectors, and two connector receptacles that face towardthe steering wheel. Wound around the rotor spool within the case is a long ribbon-like tape that consists of severalthin copper wire leads sandwiched between two thin plastic membranes. The outer end of the tape terminates at theconnector receptacles that face the instrument panel, while the inner end of the tape terminates at the pigtail wiresand connector receptacles on the hub of the clockspring rotor that face the steering wheel. The lower surface of therotor hub has a molded plastic turn signal cancel cam with two lobes that is keyed to the clockspring rotor.

The service replacement SCM is shipped with the clockspring pre-centered and with a molded plastic locking pin (5)installed. The locking pin secures the centered clockspring rotor to the SCM case during shipment and handling, butmust be removed after the SCM is installed on the steering column and before the steering wheel is installed. (Referto 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/CLOCKSPRING - STANDARD PROCEDURE - CLOCKSPRING CENTERING).

The clockspring cannot be repaired. If the clockspring is faulty, damaged, or if the driver airbag has been deployed,the SCM/clockspring/SAS unit must be replaced. (Refer to 19 - STEERING/COLUMN/STEERING COLUMN CON-TROL MODULE - REMOVAL).

OPERATIONThe clockspring is a mechanical electrical circuit component that is used to provide continuous electrical continuitybetween the fixed instrument panel wire harness and certain electrical components mounted on or in the rotatingsteering wheel. On this model the rotating electrical components include the driver airbag, the horn switch, thespeed control switches, and the remote radio switches, if the vehicle is so equipped. The Steering Control Module(SCM)/clockspring case is positioned and secured near the top of the steering column. The fixed connector recep-tacles on the back of the fixed SCM/clockspring case connect the clockspring to the vehicle electrical systemthrough two take outs with connectors from the instrument panel wire harness.

The clockspring rotor is movable and is keyed so as to move with the rotation of the steering column shaft and thesteering wheel. The lower surface of the clockspring rotor hub engages and indexes the clockspring rotor to the turnsignal cancel cam. Two short, yellow-sleeved pigtail wires on the upper surface of the clockspring rotor connect theclockspring to the driver airbag, while a steering wheel wire harness and a driver airbag jumper harness connectedto the two connector receptacles on the upper surface of the clockspring rotor complete circuits to the horn switch,the two speed control switches and, if the vehicle is so equipped, to the optional remote radio switches on thesteering wheel.

Like the clockspring in a timepiece, the clockspring tape has travel limits and can be damaged by being wound tootightly during full stop-to-stop steering wheel rotation. To prevent this from occurring, the clockspring is centeredwhen it is installed on the steering column. Centering the clockspring indexes the clockspring tape to the movablesteering components so that the tape can operate within its designed travel limits. However, if the SCM/clockspringis removed from the steering column or if the steering shaft is disconnected from the steering gear, the clockspringspool can change position relative to the other steering components. The clockspring must be re-centered followingcompletion of this service or the tape may be damaged.

Service replacement SCM/clocksprings are shipped pre-centered and with a locking pin installed. This locking pinshould not be removed until the SCM/clockspring has been installed on the steering column. If the locking pin isremoved before the SCM/clockspring is installed on a steering column, the clockspring centering procedure must beperformed. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/CLOCKSPRING - STANDARD PROCEDURE - CLOCK-SPRING CENTERING).

STANDARD PROCEDURE

CLOCKSPRING CENTERING

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplementalrestraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, occupant classification sys-tem, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnectand isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to dischargebefore performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the supplementalrestraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

NOTE: A service replacement Steering Control Module (SCM) is shipped with the clockspring pre-centeredand with a molded plastic locking pin installed. This locking pin should not be removed until the SCM hasbeen installed on the steering column. If the locking pin is removed before the SCM is installed on a steer-ing column, the clockspring centering procedure must be performed.

CURTAIN AIRBAG

DESCRIPTION

Optional side curtain airbags are available for thismodel when it is also equipped with dual front airbags.These airbags are passive, inflatable, SupplementalRestraint System (SRS) components, and vehicleswith this equipment can be readily identified by amolded identification trim button with the “SRS - AIR-BAG” logo located on the headliner above each B-pil-lar. This system is designed to reduce injuries to thevehicle occupants in the event of a side impactcollision.

Vehicles equipped with side curtain airbags have twoindividually controlled curtain airbag units. These air-bag units are concealed and mounted above theheadliner where they are each secured to one of theroof side rails. Each folded airbag cushion is con-tained within a long extruded plastic channel thatextends along the roof rail from the A-pillar at the frontof the vehicle to just behind the C-pillar at the rear ofthe vehicle. A long tether extends down the A-pillarfrom the front of the airbag cushion. The end of thetether is secured to a slot in the sheet metal with ametal hook, while two additional plastic clips securethe tether to the inside of the A-pillar.

The hybrid-type inflator for each airbag is secured to the roof rail at the rear of the airbag unit between the C-pillarand the D-pillar, and is connected to the airbag cushion by a long tubular manifold. The inflator bracket and theextruded airbag cushion channel are secured with both plastic push-in fasteners and screws to the roof rail. The

8O - 442 RESTRAINTS - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

Page 443: 20027910 Jeep WK Grand Cherokee Section 08O Restraints

inflator is initially hung from the roof rail by hooks that are integral to the inflator bracket. The airbag inflator isconnected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the body wire harnessnear the top of the D-pillar.

The side curtain airbag unit cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if deployed, faulty, or in any waydamaged. Once a side curtain airbag has been deployed, the complete airbag unit, the headliner, the upper A, B,and C-pillar trim, and all other visibly damaged components must be replaced.

OPERATIONEach side curtain airbag is deployed individually by an electrical signal generated by the Occupant Restraint Con-troller (ORC) to which it is connected through left or right curtain airbag line 1 and line 2 (or squib) circuits. Thehybrid-type inflator assembly for each airbag contains a small canister of highly compressed inert gas. When theORC sends the proper electrical signal to the airbag inflator, the electrical energy creates enough heat to ignitechemical pellets within the inflator.

Once ignited, these chemicals burn rapidly and produce the pressure necessary to rupture a containment disk in theinert gas canister. The inflator and inert gas canister are sealed and connected to a tubular manifold so that all ofthe released gas is directed into the folded curtain airbag cushion, causing the cushion to inflate. As the airbagcushion inflates it will drop down from the roof rail between the edge of the headliner and the side glass/body pillarsto form a curtain-like cushion to protect the vehicle occupants during a side impact collision.

The front tether keeps the side curtain bag taut to the side of the vehicle, thus ensuring that the bag will deploy inthe proper position. Following the airbag deployment, the airbag cushion quickly deflates by venting the inert gasthrough the loose weave of the cushion fabric, and the deflated cushion hangs down loosely from the roof rail.

REMOVAL

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplementalrestraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, occupant classification sys-tem, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnectand isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to dischargebefore performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the supplementalrestraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, when removing a deployed airbag, rubber gloves, eye protec-tion, and a long-sleeved shirt should be worn. There may be deposits on the airbag unit and other interiorsurfaces. In large doses, these deposits may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, use extreme care to prevent any foreign material from enter-ing the side curtain airbag, or becoming entrapped between the side curtain airbag cushion and the head-liner. Failure to observe this warning could result in occupant injuries upon airbag deployment.

DRIVER AIRBAG

DESCRIPTION

The injection molded, thermoplastic driver airbag pro-tective trim cover (2) is the most visible part of thedriver airbag. The driver airbag is located in the centerof the steering wheel (1), where it is secured with twoscrews to the two horizontal spokes of the four-spokesteering wheel armature. A stamped, satin polishedemblem with the JeepT logo is applied to the center ofthe trim cover. Concealed beneath the driver airbagtrim cover are the horn switch, the folded airbag cush-ion, the airbag cushion retainer, the airbag housing,the airbag inflator, and the retainers that secure theinflator to the airbag housing.

The airbag cushion (1), housing (5), and inflator (4)are secured within an integral receptacle molded intothe back of the trim cover. The four vertical walls ofthis receptacle have numerous small windows withblocking tabs that are engaged by numerous hook for-mations around the perimeter of the airbag housing.Each hook is inserted through one of the windows andthe blocking tab in each window keeps the hook prop-erly engaged with the trim cover, locking the trimcover securely into place on the airbag housing.

The resistive membrane-type horn switch is securedwithin a plastic tray that is inserted in a pocket orpouch sewn onto the airbag cushion retainer strap,between the trim cover and the folded airbag cushion.The horn switch ground and feed pigtail wires have amolded plastic connector insulator (3) that is securedby an integral retainer in a locator hole near the upperleft corner of the airbag housing and is connected tothe vehicle electrical system through a dedicated takeout and connector of the steering wheel wire harness.

The airbag used in this model is a multistage-type that complies with revised federal airbag standards to deploy withless force than those used in some prior models. A radial deploying fabric airbag cushion with internal tethers isused. The airbag inflator is a dual-initiator, non-azide, pyrotechnic-type unit with four mounting studs and is securedto the stamped metal airbag housing using four flanged hex nuts. Two keyed and color-coded connector receptacleson the driver airbag inflator connect the two inflator initiators to the vehicle electrical system through two yellow-jacketed, two-wire pigtail harnesses of the clockspring.

The driver airbag cannot be repaired, and must be replaced if deployed or in any way damaged. The driver airbagtrim cover and the horn switch may be disassembled from the driver airbag unit, and are available for individualservice replacement.

WK RESTRAINTS - SERVICE INFORMATION 8O - 447

Page 448: 20027910 Jeep WK Grand Cherokee Section 08O Restraints

OPERATIONThe multistage driver airbag is deployed by electrical signals generated by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)through the driver airbag squib 1 and squib 2 circuits to the two initiators in the airbag inflator. By using two initi-ators, the airbag can be deployed at multiple levels of force. The force level is controlled by the ORC to suit themonitored impact conditions by providing one of four delay intervals between the electrical signals provided to thetwo initiators. The longer the delay between these signals, the less forcefully the airbag will deploy.

When the ORC sends the proper electrical signals to each initiator, the electrical energy generates enough heat toinitiate a small pyrotechnic charge which, in turn ignites chemical pellets within the inflator. Once ignited, thesechemical pellets burn rapidly and produce a large quantity of inert gas. The inflator is sealed to the back of theairbag housing and a diffuser in the inflator directs all of the inert gas into the airbag cushion, causing the cushionto inflate. As the cushion inflates, the driver airbag trim cover will split at predetermined breakout lines, then foldback out of the way along with the horn switch and tray unit. Following an airbag deployment, the airbag cushionquickly deflates by venting the inert gas towards the instrument panel through vent holes within the fabric used toconstruct the back (steering wheel side) panel of the airbag cushion.

Some of the chemicals used to create the inert gas may be considered hazardous while in their solid state beforethey are burned, but they are securely sealed within the airbag inflator. Typically, both initiators are used and allpotentially hazardous chemicals are burned during an airbag deployment event. However, it is possible for only oneinitiator to be used during a deployment due to an airbag system fault; therefore, it is necessary to always confirmthat both initiators have been used in order to avoid the improper disposal of potentially live pyrotechnic or hazard-ous materials. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS - STANDARD PROCEDURE - SERVICE AFTER A SUP-PLEMENTAL RESTRAINT DEPLOYMENT).

The inert gas that is produced when the chemicals are burned is harmless. However, a small amount of residuefrom the burned chemicals may cause some temporary discomfort if it contacts the skin, eyes, or breathing pas-sages. If skin or eye irritation is noted, rinse the affected area with plenty of cool, clean water. If breathing passagesare irritated, move to another area where there is plenty of clean, fresh air to breath. If the irritation is not alleviatedby these actions, contact a physician.

REMOVAL

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplementalrestraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, occupant classification sys-tem, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnectand isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to dischargebefore performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the supplementalrestraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

IMPACT SENSOR

DESCRIPTION

FRONT

Two front impact sensors (1) are used on this model,one each for the left and right sides of the vehicle.These sensors are mounted remotely from the impactsensor that is internal to the Occupant Restraint Con-troller (ORC). Each front sensor is secured with twoflanged hex nuts to two studs on the backs of the rightand left vertical members of the radiator support withinthe engine compartment. The sensor housing has anintegral connector receptacle (2), an integral anti-rota-tion pin (3), and two integral mounting holes (4) withmetal sleeves to provide crush protection.

The right and left front impact sensors are identical in construction and calibration. A label on the sensor is imprintedwith an arrow, which should always be pointed forward in the vehicle. A cavity in the center of the molded plasticimpact sensor housing contains the electronic circuitry of the sensor which includes an electronic communicationchip and an electronic impact sensor. Potting material fills the cavity and a stamped cover (5) is crimped over thecavity to seal and protect the internal electronic circuitry and components. The front impact sensors are each con-nected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the headlamp and dash wireharness.

The impact sensors cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or faulty, they must be replaced.

SIDE

Four side impact sensors (2) are used on this modelwhen it is equipped with the optional side curtain air-bags, two each for the left and right sides of the vehi-cle. These sensors are mounted remotely from theimpact sensor that is internal to the OccupantRestraint Controller (ORC). Each side sensor issecured with two screws to the inner right or left B-pil-lar and C-pillar beneath the trim within the passengercompartment. The sensor housing has an integral con-nector receptacle (3), an integral anti-rotation pin (4),and two integral mounting holes (1) with metal sleevesto provide crush protection.

The side impact sensors are each con-nected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the body wire harness.

The impact sensors cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or faulty, they must be replaced.

OPERATION

FRONTThe front impact sensors are electronic accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration, which providesverification of the direction and severity of an impact. Each sensor also contains an electronic communication chipthat allows the unit to communicate the sensor status as well as sensor fault information to the microprocessor inthe Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).

The ORC microprocessor continuously monitors all of the passive restraint system electrical circuits to determine thesystem readiness. If the ORC detects a monitored system fault, it sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and con-trols the airbag indicator operation accordingly. The impact sensors each receive battery current and ground throughdedicated left and right sensor plus and minus circuits from the ORC. The impact sensors and the ORC commu-nicate by modulating the voltage in the sensor plus circuit.

The hard wired circuits between the front impact sensors and the ORC may be diagnosed and tested using con-ventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive inthe diagnosis of the ORC, the impact sensors, or the electronic message inputs to or outputs from the impact sen-sors. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the impact sensors, the ORC, and the electronicmessage communication between the sensors and the ORC requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to theappropriate diagnostic information.

OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE

DESCRIPTION

The Occupant Classification Module (OCM) (1) issecured with two screws to a mount on the undersideof the passenger side front seat cushion frame nearthe inboard front corner. Concealed within a hollow inthe center of the molded plastic OCM housing is amicroprocessor and the other electronic circuitry of themodule. The module housing is sealed to enclose andprotect the internal electronic circuitry. The OCM soft-ware is flash programmable.

Two mounting tabs (2) and two connector receptacles(3) are integral to the OCM housing. The connectorreceptacles contain terminal pins that connect theOCM to the vehicle electrical system through a dedi-cated take out and connector of the passenger sidefront seat wire harness, and a second take out andconnector of the body wire harness.

A non-calibrated OCM is available for separate servicereplacement. The OCM and all of the other compo-nents of the Occupant Classification System (OCS)including the passenger side front seat, the seat weight sensors, the passenger or driver seat track position sensorand the seat adjusters, cushion, back, frame, foam, springs, and wiring harness are a factory-calibrated and assem-bled unit. Any time any one of these components is removed or replaced for any reason, the OCM must be re-cal-ibrated using a diagnostic scan tool, the Occupant Classification Seat Weight special tool, and the OccupantClassification System Verification Test. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic procedures.

The OCM cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if damaged or faulty, it must be replaced.

OPERATIONThe microprocessor in the Occupant Classification Module (OCM) contains the Occupant Classification System(OCS) logic circuits. The OCM uses On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communicate with other electronic mod-ules in the vehicle as well as with the diagnostic scan tool using the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. Thismethod of communication is also used for OCS diagnosis and testing through the 16-way data link connectorlocated on the driver side lower edge of the instrument panel.

The OCM provides voltage to the four seat weight sensors located on the corners of the passenger side front seat,and to the seat track position sensors on the outboard passenger and driver side front seat upper seat tracks. TheOCM then monitors return inputs from each of the sensors on dedicated hard wired data communication circuits.The seat weight sensor input allows the OCM to determine whether the passenger side front seat is occupied andthe relative size of the occupant by providing a weight-sensing reference to the load on the seat. The seat trackposition sensor provides an additional logic input to the OCM microprocessor that allows it to determine the positionof the front seat passenger and driver relative to the front airbags.

Pre-programmed decision algorithms and OCS calibration allow the OCM microprocessor to determine when pas-senger airbag protection is appropriate based upon the seat load as signaled by the seat weight sensors. When theprogrammed conditions are met, the OCM sends the proper electronic occupant classification messages over theCAN data bus to the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), and the ORC enables or disables the deployment cir-cuits for the passenger front supplemental restraints. The ORC also provides a control output for the passengerairbag on/off indicator in the instrument panel based upon the electronic occupant classification messages itreceives from the OCM.

The OCM also sends electronic driver and passenger seat track position messages to the ORC over the CAN databus. The ORC uses the seat track position data as an additional logic input for determining the force level withwhich to deploy the multistage front airbags.

The OCM microprocessor continuously monitors all of the OCS electrical circuits and components to determine thesystem readiness. If the OCM detects a monitored system fault, it sets an active and stored Diagnostic Trouble

Code (DTC) and sends the appropriate electronic messages to the ORC over the CAN data bus. Then the ORCsets a DTC and sends messages to control the airbag indicator operation accordingly. An active fault only remainsfor the duration of the fault, or in some cases for the duration of the current ignition switch cycle, while a stored faultcauses a DTC to be stored in memory by the OCM and the ORC. For some DTCs, if a fault does not recur for anumber of ignition cycles, the OCM will automatically erase the stored DTC. For other internal faults, the storedDTC is latched forever.

The OCM receives battery current on a fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit through a fuse in the JunctionBlock (JB). The OCM receives ground through a ground circuit and take out of the body wire harness. These con-nections allow the OCM to be operational whenever the ignition switch is in the Start or On positions.

The hard wired inputs and outputs for the OCM may be diagnosed and tested using conventional diagnostic toolsand procedures. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the OCM,the CAN data bus, or the electronic message inputs to and outputs from the OCM. The most reliable, efficient, andaccurate means to diagnose the OCM, the CAN data bus network, and the electronic message inputs to and out-puts from the OCM requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

PASSENGER AIRBAG

DESCRIPTION

The horizontal surface of the instrument panel top pad(1) above the glove box is the most visible part of thepassenger airbag. The passenger airbag door is inte-gral to the top of the instrument panel top pad abovethe glove box opening on the instrument panel in frontof the front seat passenger seating position.

Located below the passenger airbag door area of theinstrument panel top pad, the molded thermoplasticpassenger airbag retainer is secured to the undersideof the top pad. The retainer defines the airbag doorbreakout area of the top pad and serves as the recep-tacle for the passenger airbag cushion and housing.Numerous small window openings on the forward andrearward flanges of the receptacle receive matinghook formations stamped into the airbag housing,which locate and secure the housing to the top pad.

WK RESTRAINTS - SERVICE INFORMATION 8O - 467

Page 468: 20027910 Jeep WK Grand Cherokee Section 08O Restraints

The passenger airbag unit (1) is also secured by twoscrews through a stamped mounting bracket (3) to theinstrument panel structural support. The passengerairbag unit used in this model is a multistage type thatcomplies with revised federal airbag standards todeploy with less force than those used in some priormodels. The passenger airbag unit consists of astamped and welded metal housing, the airbag cush-ion, and the airbag inflator (5). The airbag housingcontains the airbag inflator and the folded airbag cush-ion. An approximately 80 centimeter (31.5 inch) wideby 90 centimeter (35.5 inch) high rectangular fabriccushion is used.

The airbag inflator (5 is a non-azide, pyrotechnic-type unit that is secured to and sealed within the airbag housing.A short four-wire pigtail harness with a keyed, yellow connector insulator (4) connects the two inflator initiators (2) tothe 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 damaged. Thepassenger airbag door and retainer are serviced only as a unit with the instrument panel top pad. If the passengerairbag is deployed, the instrument panel top pad must also be replaced.

OPERATIONThe multistage passenger airbag is deployed by electrical signals generated by the Occupant Restraint Controller(ORC) through the passenger airbag squib 1 and squib 2 circuits to the two initiators in the airbag inflator. By usingtwo initiators, the airbag can be deployed at multiple levels of force. The force level is controlled by the ORC to suitthe monitored impact conditions by providing one of four delay intervals between the electrical signals provided tothe two initiators. The longer the delay between these signals, the less forcefully the airbag will deploy.

When the ORC sends the proper electrical signals to each initiator, the electrical energy generates enough heat toinitiate a small pyrotechnic charge which, in turn ignites chemical pellets within the inflator. Once ignited, thesechemical pellets burn rapidly and produce a large quantity of inert gas. The inflator is sealed to the airbag cushionand a diffuser in the inflator directs all of the inert gas into the airbag cushion, causing the cushion to inflate. As thecushion inflates, the passenger airbag door area of the instrument panel top pad will split at predetermined tearseam lines concealed on the underside of the top pad, then the door will pivot up over the top of the instrumentpanel and out of the way. Following an airbag deployment, the airbag cushion quickly deflates by venting the inertgas through vent holes within the fabric used to construct the back (windshield side) of the airbag cushion.

Typically, both initiators are used during an airbag deployment event. However, it is possible for only one initiator tobe used during a deployment due to an airbag system fault; therefore, it is necessary to always confirm that bothinitiators have been used in order to avoid the improper disposal of potentially live pyrotechnic materials. (Refer to8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS - STANDARD PROCEDURE - SERVICE AFTER A SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINTDEPLOYMENT).

PASS AIRBAG ON/OFF INDICATOR

DESCRIPTION

Vehicles equipped with the Occupant ClassificationSystem (OCS) include a passenger airbag on/off indi-cator (3), which is located in the right outboard end ofthe upper switch pod (2) near the top of the instru-ment panel lower center bezel (1). The passenger air-bag on/off indicator consists of a molded plastichousing and a rectangular dark translucent outer lens.

The opaque text “PASS AIRBAG OFF” and an opaqueInternational Control and Display Symbol icon for“Passenger Airbag Off or Not Available” are imprintedon the back of the lens within the indicator. The darkouter lens prevents the indicator text and icon frombeing clearly visible when it is not illuminated. Anamber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the lenscauses the “PASS AIRBAG OFF” text and icon toappear silhouetted against an amber field through thetranslucent lens when the indicator is illuminated frombehind by the LED.

The passenger airbag on/off indicator cannot berepaired or adjusted and, if faulty or damaged, the upper switch pod unit must be replaced. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-TRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/INSTRUMENT PANEL SWITCH POD UPPER - REMOVAL).

OPERATIONIn the Occupant Classification System (OCS), the passenger airbag on/off indicator gives an indication when thepassenger airbag and seat belt tensioner deployment circuits are disabled by the Occupant Restraint Controller(ORC). This indicator is controlled by a transistor within the ORC through a hard wired output based upon ORCprogramming and electronic occupant classification messages received by the ORC over the Controller Area Net-work (CAN) data bus from the Occupant Classification Module (OCM).

The passenger airbag on/off indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the ORC. The LEDreceives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED will alwaysbe off when the ignition switch is in any position except On or Start. The LED only illuminates when it is provideda path to ground by the ORC transistor. The ORC will turn on the passenger airbag on/off indicator for the followingreasons:

• Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position the passenger airbag on/off indicator isilluminated for about six seconds.

• Child Seat Detected (or Load Less Than Fifth Percentile Female) Occupant Classification Message -Each time the ORC receives a message from the OCM indicating a child seat has been detected in the pas-senger side front seat (or that the seat load is less than that of a fifth percentile female) the passenger airbagand seat belt tensioner deployment circuits are deactivated and the passenger airbag on/off indicator will beilluminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the ORC receives an occupant classification message indi-cating that the passenger side front seat is empty, that the seat is occupied by a load equal to or greater thana fifth percentile female, or until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.

• Load Undetermined Occupant Classification Message - Each time the ORC receives a message from theOCM indicating that a load cannot be determined in the passenger side front seat, the passenger airbag andseat belt tensioner deployment circuits are deactivated and the passenger airbag on/off indicator will be illu-minated. The indicator remains illuminated until the ORC receives an occupant classification message indicat-ing that the passenger side front seat is empty, that the seat is occupied by a load equal to or greater than afifth percentile female, or until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.

• Communication Error - If the ORC receives invalid occupant classification messages or no messages fromthe OCM, the passenger airbag on/off indicator is illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the ORCreceives a valid message from the OCM indicating that the passenger side front seat is empty, that the seat is

8O - 472 RESTRAINTS - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

Page 473: 20027910 Jeep WK Grand Cherokee Section 08O Restraints

occupied by a load equal to or greater than a fifth percentile female, or until the ignition switch is turned to theOff position, whichever occurs first.

The ORC continually monitors the occupant classification messages from the OCM to decide whether the passengerairbag and seat belt tensioner deployment circuits should be activated or deactivated. Note that there may be sev-eral seconds of delay between changes in the detected occupant status and passenger airbag on/off indications.This is a programmed feature of the OCM used to prevent a flashing indicator condition resulting from the normalshifting of occupant weight on the passenger seat cushion. The ORC then provides the proper control output to turnthe passenger airbag on/off indicator on or off.

The ORC will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any malfunction it detects. For proper diagnosis of theOCM, the ORC, the CAN data bus, or the electronic message inputs to the ORC that control the passenger airbagon/off indicator, a diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

SEAT BELT SWITCH

DESCRIPTION

The seat belt switch for this model is actually a HallEffect-type sensor. This sensor consists of a fixed-po-sition, Hall Effect Integrated Circuit (IC) chip and asmall permanent magnet that is integral to the driverside front seat belt buckle. The driver side front seatbelt buckle is located on a molded plastic scabbardand secured along with the seat belt tensioner mech-anism by a nut to the inboard side of the driver sidefront seat cushion frame. The seat belt switch is con-nected to the vehicle electrical system through a two-lead pigtail wire and connector (1) on the driver sidefront seat belt buckle-half, which is connected to awire harness connector and take out of the seat wireharness. A radio noise suppression capacitor is con-nected in parallel with the IC where the two pigtailwire leads connect to the IC pins.

The seat belt switch cannot be adjusted or repairedand, if faulty or damaged, the entire driver side frontseat belt buckle-half and tensioner unit must bereplaced.

OPERATIONThe seat belt switch is designed to provide a status signal to the seat belt switch sense input of the OccupantRestraint Controller (ORC) indicating whether the driver side front seat belt is fastened. The ORC uses the seat beltswitch input to determine the status of the driver side front seat belt. The ORC then sends electronic messages tothe ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) to control the seat belt indicator based upon the status of the seatbelt switch input.

A spring-loaded slide with a small window-like opening is integral to the buckle latch mechanism. When a seat belttip-half is inserted and latched into the seat belt buckle, the slide is pushed downward and the window of the slideexposes the Hall Effect Integrated Circuit (IC) chip within the buckle. The field of the permanent magnet induces acurrent within the chip. The chip provides this induced current as an output to the ORC. When the seat belt isunbuckled, the spring-loaded slide moves upward and shields the IC from the field of the permanent magnet, caus-ing the output current from the seat belt switch to be reduced.

The seat belt switch receives a supply current from the ORC, and the ORC senses the status of the driver side frontseat belt through its pigtail wire connection to the seat wire harness. The ORC also monitors the condition of theseat belt switch circuit and will illuminate the airbag indicator in the EMIC then store a Diagnostic Trouble Code(DTC) for any fault that is detected in the seat belt switch circuit. For proper diagnosis of the seat belt switch, adiagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

SEAT BELT TENSIONER

DESCRIPTION

Seat belt tensioners supplement the dual front airbagsfor this model. The seat belt tensioners are integral tothe front seat belt buckle units, which are secured bya large hex nut (3) to a stud on the outside of theinboard seat cushion frames of the right and left frontseats. The tensioner is concealed beneath the moldedplastic inner seat cushion side shield. The seat belttensioner consists (2) primarily of a buckle, an accor-dion-like molded plastic scabbard, a cable and piston,a pulley and bracket, a steel cylinder tube, and asmall pyrotechnically activated gas generator. Exceptfor the buckle and scabbard, all of these componentsare concealed by the seat cushion side shield.

The seat belt tensioners are controlled by the Occu-pant Restraint Controller (ORC) and are connected tothe vehicle electrical system through a dedicated takeout of the seat wire harness by a keyed and latchingyellow molded plastic connector insulator (1) to ensurea secure connection. The driver side seat belt ten-sioner has a second connection through a two-wirepigtail and connector to the seat wire harness for an integral seat belt switch.

The seat belt tensioners cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire front seat belt buckle unit must bereplaced. If the front airbags have been deployed, the seat belt tensioners have also been deployed. The seat belttensioners are not intended for reuse and must be replaced following any front airbag deployment. (Refer to 8 -ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/SEAT BELT BUCKLE - REMOVAL).

OPERATIONThe seat belt tensioners are deployed in conjunction with the front airbags by a signal generated by the OccupantRestraint Controller (ORC) through the driver or passenger seat belt tensioner line 1 and line 2 (or squib) circuits.When the ORC sends the proper electrical signal to the tensioners, the electrical energy generates enough heat toinitiate a small pyrotechnic gas generator. The gas generator is installed in one end of a steel cylinder tube wherethe piston attached to one end of the buckle cable is sealed to the inside circumference of the tube. As the gasexpands, it pushes the piston down the tube, pulling the cable around the pulley, drawing the buckle downward,collapsing the scabbard, and removing any excess slack from the seat belt.

Removing excess slack from the front seat belts not only keeps the occupants properly positioned for an airbagdeployment following a frontal impact of the vehicle, but also helps to reduce injuries that the occupant might expe-rience in these situations as a result of harmful contact with the steering wheel, steering column, instrument paneland/or windshield. Also, a torsion bar in the seat belt retractor that the retractor spool rides upon is designed todeform in order to control the loading being applied to the occupants by the seat belts during a frontal impact,further reducing the potential for occupant injuries.

The ORC monitors the condition of the seat belt tensioners through circuit resistance, and will illuminate the airbagindicator in the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) and store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for anyfault that is detected. For proper diagnosis of the seat belt tensioners, a diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer tothe appropriate diagnostic information.

SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR

DESCRIPTION

The seat track position sensor (1) is a Hall Effect-typesensor. This sensor consists of a Hall Effect IntegratedCircuit (IC) chip encased in potting material within acavity of the molded plastic sensor housing. The sen-sor housing has an integral snap feature (3) andsnaps into a stamped metal bracket located on theinboard side of one of the seat adjuster tracks oneach front seat, then is secured by a screw into amounting boss (4) at one end of the sensor housing. Amolded connector receptacle (2) is integral to theopposite end of the sensor housing from the mountingboss is connected to the vehicle electrical systemthrough a connector and take out of the driver or pas-senger seat wire harness beneath the front seat cush-ion frame.

The seat track position sensor cannot be adjusted orrepaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire sensormust be replaced.

OPERATIONThe seat track position sensor is designed to provide a seat position data input to the Occupant Classification Mod-ule (OCM) indicating whether the driver front seat is in a full forward or a not full forward position. The OCM sendselectronic seat position messages to the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) over the Controller Area Network(CAN) data bus. The ORC uses this data as an additional logic input for use in determining the appropriate deploy-ment force to be used when deploying the multistage front airbags.

The seat track position sensor receives a nominal five volt supply from the OCM. The sensor communicates theseat position by modulating the voltage returned to the OCM on a sensor data circuit. The OCM also monitors thecondition of the sensor circuits and will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that is detected, thensend messages to the ORC to illuminate the airbag indicator in the instrument cluster. For proper diagnosis of theseat track position sensor, a diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
