1995 Chrysler New Yorker V6-3.5L VIN FSECTION Airbag System
Vehicles equipped with the Chrysler airbag system can be identified by the presence of an extra-large horn pad in the center of the steering wheel and a pad above the glove box on the instrument panel, both bearing the SRS airbag logo.
The airbag system is designed to provide increased driver and passenger protection if the vehicle is involved in a front-end collision. The system is most effective when used in conjunction with the seat belt system.
For 1994-1/2 - 1997 LH body vehicles: A new hybrid passenger side airbag assembly was introduced. This bag assembly utilizes a canister of compressed, inert gas to inflate the bag, instead of sodium azide. The pressure of the canister is monitored by a non-serviceable pressure switch, which is built into the canister. The pressure switch is wired to and monitored by the Airbag Control Module (ACM).
The Airbag Control Module (ACM) changed part numbers at mid-year, when the hybrid passenger airbag was introduced; it is not interchangeable with the previous part number. This is because of the addition of the hybrid bag pressure switch input.
The ASDM system is a mechanically-triggered system utilizing two front impact sensors and a sensor inside the airbag control module to trigger the airbags.
Whenever the ignition key is turned to the "run" or "start" position, the Airbag Control Module (ACM) performs a lamp check by turning the AIRBAG warning lamp on. The lamp goes ON for 6 to 8 seconds, then goes off. If the lamp remains off, it means that the ACM has checked the system and found it to be free of discernible malfunctions. The airbag system is controlled by the ACM.
The ACM monitors critical input and output circuits within the airbag system, making sure they are operating correctly. Some circuits are tested continuously; others are checked only under certain circumstances. The ACM provides diagnostic information about the airbag system to the technician through the DRB via the CCD bus.
The deceleration or g-force resulting from the impact of a front-end collision causes the electronic sensor inside of the ACM to be triggered. This causes the inflators to be actuated, thus deploying the airbags. The total time between determining to deploy and full inflation of the airbag is approximately 4Oms.
The AIRBAG warning lamp is the only point at which "symptoms" of a system malfunction can be observed by the customer.
Use the test procedures to find the cause of any customer complaint regarding the AIRBAG warning lamp, such as:
- Warning lamp does not come on at all
- Warning lamp stays on

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
