DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE (ACM)

DESCRIPTION

The Airbag Control Module (ACM) contains the

impact sensor and energy reserve capacitor. The
impact sensor acts as a threshold sensitive switch
that completes a circuit when an impact provides suf-
ficient deceleration. The sensor is calibrated for the
specific vehicle and reacts to the severity and direc-
tion of the impact.

OPERATION

The ACM monitors the system to determine the

system readiness. The ACM stores sufficient energy
to deploy the airbags for approximately two minutes
after the battery is disconnected. The ACM contains
on-board diagnostics, and illuminates the AIRBAG
warning lamp in the cluster when a diagnostic trou-
ble code occurs. The warning equipment is tested for
a few seconds every time the vehicle is started.

CLOCKSPRING

DESCRIPTION

The clockspring is mounted to the steering column

behind the steering wheel. The clockspring consists
of a flat, ribbon like, electrically conductive tape that
winds and unwinds with the steering wheel rotation.

OPERATION

The clockspring is used to maintain a continuous

electrical circuit between the wiring harness and the:

• Driver’s airbag module

• Speed control switches

• Horn switch

DRIVER AIRBAG MODULE

WARNING: NEVER DISASSEMBLE THE DRIVER OR
PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULES, THERE ARE NO
SERVICEABLE PARTS WITHIN THE MODULES.

DESCRIPTION

The Driver Airbag Module located in the center of

the steering wheel is the most visible part of the sys-
tem. It contains the airbag cushion and its support-
ing components. The airbag module contains a
housing in which the cushion and inflator are
attached and sealed.

OPERATION

The driver side inflator assembly is mounted from

the back of the module housing. When supplied with
the proper electrical signal, the inflator assembly
produces a gas and discharges it directly into the
cushion. A protective cover is fitted to the front of the
Driver Airbag Module and forms a decorative cover
in the center of the steering wheel. The Driver Air-
bag Module is mounted directly to the steering
wheel.

PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE

WARNING: NEVER DISASSEMBLE THE DRIVER OR
PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULES, THERE ARE NO
SERVICEABLE PARTS WITHIN THE MODULES.

DESCRIPTION

The Passenger Airbag Module is located beneath

the decorative cover of the instrument panel, facing
the passenger seat.
