Known issues on the 1997 Savana 3500. Two owner complaints are logged with NHTSA against this model year, and both concern the air bags. Restraint faults on a van of this age usually come down to wiring, connectors and the sensing circuit rather than the bag itself, which is where the wiring diagrams and diagnostic procedures earn their keep. The rest of the book does the ordinary work: procedures, specifications and torque values for all four engines listed above, across the five body configurations and both trims.
