Sebring Sedan L4-2.4L VIN J (2004)
FASTENERS, SCREWS, AND BOLTS ORIGINALLY USED FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM COMPONENTS HAVE SPECIAL COATINGS AND
ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THEY MUST NEVER BE REPLACED WITH ANY SUBSTITUTES. ANY
TIME A NEW FASTENER IS NEEDED, REPLACE IT WITH THE CORRECT FASTENERS PROVIDED IN THE SERVICE PACKAGE OR
SPECIFIED IN THE MOPAR PARTS CATALOG. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
CAUTION: Deployed front airbags may or may not have live pyrotechnic material within the airbag inflator. Do not dispose of driver and passenger
airbags unless you are sure of complete deployment. Please refer to the hazardous substance control system for proper disposal. Dispose of deployed
airbags in a manner consistent with state, provincial, local, and federal regulations. Use the following table to identify the status of the airbag squib.
PASSENGER AIRBAG SQUIB STATUS
1. Using a DRBIII(R) read Airbag DTC's If the following active codes are present:
If neither of the following codes is an active code:
SEAT BELT TENSIONER (SBT)
The JR41 4-door driver and front passenger seat belt (retractor) tensioners are mounted to the inboard side of the "B" pillar at the floor. The tensioner
is an integral part of the seat belt retractor.
The JR27 convertible driver and front passenger seat belt (buckle) tensioners are mounted to the inboard side of the front seats. The seat belt buckle is
connected directly to the seat belt tensioner cable.
At the onset of an impact event the ACM uses the seat belt tensioner to rapidly retract the seat belt. With the slack removed, the occupant's forward
motion in an impact will be reduced as will the likelihood of contacting interior components. The seat belt tensioner cannot be repaired, if damaged or
defective it must be replaced. The ACM continuously monitors the resistance of the seat belt tensioner circuits an open or shorted conditions.
SIDE IMPACT SENSORS
The side impact sensors are electronic accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration. Side impact sensors and the ACM Accelerometer
provides verification of the direction and severity of a side impact to the ACM processor. The left side impact sensor provides impact sensing for
impacts on the left side of the vehicle and the right side impact sensor provides sensing for impacts on the right side of the vehicle.
The side impact sensors receive battery current and ground from he ACM through dedicated driver and passenger sensor signal and ground circuits.
The ACM communicate with the Side Impact Sensors by modulating the current in the sensor signal circuit. Each sensor communicates the sensor
status as well as sensor fault information to the microprocessor in the Airbag Control Module.
The ACM microprocessor continuously monitors all of the sensors electrical circuits to determine the system readiness. If the ACM detects a system
fault, it sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code and controls the airbag warning indicator operation accordingly When needed the supplemental driver or
passenger curtain airbags are deployed independently by the ACM to provide side impact protection for the occupants.
