Introduction

CIRCUIT OPERATION
This vehicle has a drivers airbag and a passengers airbag. The Airbag Control Module (ACM) operates both. The airbag system has one impact sensor located inside the Airbag Control Module (ACM). The ACM is secured to a bracket under the left side front seat inside the vehicle.

The ACM has two ignition switch feeds. In the START or RUN position, the ignition switch connects circuit A1 from fuse 2 in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) to circuit A21. Circuit A21 powers circuit F23 through fuse 27 in the junction block. Circuit F23 connects to the ACM.

When the ignition switch is in the RUN position, it connects circuit A2 to circuit A22. Circuit A22 powers circuit F14 through fuse 26 in the junction block. Circuit F14 connects to the ACM. Circuit Z6 provides ground for the ACM.
