STANDARD PROCEDURE - PCM/SKIM
PROGRAMMING
NOTE: Before replacing the PCM for a failed driver,
control circuit or ground circuit, be sure to check
the related component/circuit integrity for failures
not detected due to a double fault in the circuit.
Most PCM driver/control circuit failures are caused
by internal component failures (i.e. relay and sole-
noids) and shorted circuits (i.e. pull-ups, drivers
and switched circuits). These failures are difficult to
detect when a double fault has occurred and only
one DTC has set.
When a PCM (SBEC) and the SKIM are replaced
at the same time perform the following steps in
order:
(1) Program the new PCM (SBEC)
(2) Program the new SKIM
(3) Replace all ignition keys and program them to
the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING THE PCM (SBEC)
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique
to each SKIM. This code is programmed and stored
in the SKIM, PCM and transponder chip (ignition
keys). When replacing the PCM it is necessary to
program the secret key into the new PCM using the
DRB III. Perform the following steps to program the
secret key into the PCM.
(1) Turn the ignition switch on (transmission in
park/neutral).
(2) Use the DRB III and select THEFT ALARM,
SKIM then MISCELLANEOUS.
(3) Select PCM REPLACED (GAS ENGINE).

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
The key fob transmitter (Fig. 1) has six buttons.
Three of them, LOCK, UNLOCK, and PANIC, are
used to actuate parts of, and program the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) system via the customer pro-
gramming mode. It is not necessary to use the
PANIC button with the DRB IIItscan tool mode of
programming.
OPERATION
POWER DOOR LOCK SYSTEM
The Body Control Module (BCM) locks or unlocks
the doors when an actuation input signal from a door
lock switch or Remote Keyless Entry Module (RKE)
is received. The BCM turns on the output drivers
and provides a voltage level to the door lock motor
for a specified time. The BCM locks the doors auto-
matically when the vehicle is driven beyond the
speed of 25.7 Km/h (16 mph). The rolling door lock
feature can be disabled if desired. All doors and lift-
gate can be locked or unlocked using mechanical but-
ton or key cylinder methods (Liftgate cylinder does
not lock/unlock vehicle. It only unlocks the liftgate).
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS
The BCM is equipped with a disable feature to
stop the speed sensitive automatic door locks from
functioning. The DISABLE feature can be switched
ON or OFF as desired. When the system is DIS-
ABLED the door locks will operate normally, but will
not lock automatically when the vehicle is rolling.
When the door locks are ENABLED the door locks
will automatically lock when the vehicle is moving at
about 25.7 Km/h (16 mph). All doors are closed, the
PCM has set the ªOK TO LOCKº bit, and doors were
not previously locked.
DOOR LOCK INHIBIT
If the key is in the ignition, in any position, and
either front door is ajar, all power door lock function-
ing shall be disabled when activating either door lock
switch. Also, if the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) is
armed, the door lock switch ªUNLOCKº feature will
be disabled until the vehicle is disarmed. Pressing
the RKE lock/unlock button under these conditions
will result in a normal lock/unlock activation.
After the key is removed from the Ignition Switch,
or the doors are closed, the power door locks will
operate normally.
CENTRAL LOCKING
If equipped with Vehicle Theft Security System
(VTSS), all the doors can be locked with the key by
using any of the door lock cylinders. Turning the key
to the LOCK position will lock all the doors.
When either of the front key cylinder switches is
detected active, the BCM will activate the illumi-
nated entry feature and the individual front doors
will become mechanically unlocked. To central unlock
all doors, a second transition from OFF to UNLOCK
has to occur within 2 seconds of the first complete
UNLOCK cycle.
To central unlock the driver door, turn the key to
the rear of the vehicle. This indicates an unlock sig-
nal to the BCM. For the passenger door, turn the key
toward the front of the vehicle. When either key cyl-
inder switch is detected as active, the BCM will acti-
vate the illuminated entry feature. The individual
doors will become mechanically unlocked.
To central lock the vehicle, the driver door lock cyl-
inder is turned toward the front of the vehicle. The
passenger door lock cylinder is turned toward the
rear of the vehicle. When a lock input from either
key cylinder is detected as active, the BCM will can-
cel the illuminated entry feature and perform the
central lock operation.

DOOR LOCK CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The BCM controls the door lock output drivers. If
the door lock switch is actuated continuously for
more than one second the BCM will turn the output
driver OFF (the BCM would consider the switch
stuck). The lock motors are protected with Positive
Temperature Coefficient (PTC) device that prevents
motor burn out.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
²LOCK: Pressing the LOCK button locks all
doors and sounds horn (chirp) and arm the Vehicle
Theft Security System, if equipped. The chirp verifies
that the RKE receiver has sent a message to the
BCM for door lock operation. If a door has not been
closed before pressing the LOCK button, the vehicle
may not be secured and the VTSS will not arm until
the door is closed.
²UNLOCK: Pressing the UNLOCK button once
will unlock the driver's side doors and activate the
illuminated entry system and disarm Vehicle Theft
Security System, if equipped. Pressing the UNLOCK
button twice within five seconds will unlock all doors
and activate the illuminated entry system.
²LEFT SLIDING DOOR: Pressing the LEFT
SLIDING DOOR BUTTON opens/closes the left
power sliding door remotely.
²RIGHT SLIDING DOOR: Pressing the RIGHT
SLIDING DOOR BUTTON opens/closes the right
power sliding door remotely.
²LIFTGATE:
Pressing the LIFTGATE BUTTON
opens/closes the liftgate remotely, if equipped.If not
equipped with power liftgate, pressing the liftgate but-
ton will allow a one time 30 second access to liftgate.
²PANIC: Pressing the PANIC button sounds the
horns at half second intervals, flashes the exterior
lamps, and turns ON the interior lamps. The panic
alarm will remain on for three minutes, or until the
PANIC button is actuated again or the ignition
switch is turned to the RUN position.
The Remote Keyless Entry Module is capable of
retaining the transmitter Vehicle Access Code(s)
(VAC) in its memory even after vehicle power has
been interrupted.
NOTE: Additional features available to the customer
are described in the Vehicle Owners Manual.
The RKE system activates the optional memory
seat, mirror system and adjustable pedals, if
equipped. Two primary key fob transmitters can be
programmed to actuate memory seat and mirror set-
ting 1 or 2. Two additional key fob transmitters can be
added, but they will not be able to operate the mem-
ory seat and mirror system (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/POWER SEATS - OPERATION) and (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS - OPERATION).
DOOR CYLINDER LOCK
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The Door Cylinder Lock Switch is used to:
²Unlock/Lock all the doors via the Central Lock-
ing feature.
²Arm/Disarm the Vehicle Theft Security System.
²Trigger the Illuminated Entry feature.
The door cylinder lock switch is mounted to the
rear of the driver and passenger door lock cylinders.
When installed on the rear of the cylinder, there is a
tab on the lock cylinder that aligns with the switch
to prevent it from turning. An anti-rotating device.
The door cylinder lock switch is a one time use
switch. Once it is removed from the rear of the door
lock cylinder, it may not be reinstalled and a new
switch must be used.
OPERATION
When the Door Cylinder Lock Switch is turned
either way using the door key cylinder, the BCM
reads a direct message signal from the switch, via
the Programmable Communication Interface (PCI)
bus.
If turning the key cylinder once, toward the front
of the vehicle (for either driver or passenger doors),
this will:
(1) Mechanically unlock the door lock.
(2) Disarm the Vehicle Theft Security System (if
equipped).
(3) Turn on the Illuminated Entry (if equipped) for
approximately 30 seconds.
If the key cylinder is turned to the unlock position
(toward the front of vehicle) twice within two sec-
onds, all the doors and liftgate will unlock (if
equipped with the central locking feature).
To lock the vehicle using the door cylinder lock
switch, turn the key cylinder toward the rear of the
vehicle (either passenger or driver doors) once. This
will lock the door that you are using the key on. If
equipped with the central locking feature, this will
lock all the other doors and liftgate. Furthermore,
this will arm the vehicle theft security system and
turn off the illuminated entry.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DOOR CYLINDER
LOCK SWITCH
(1) Visually inspect the switch for proper installa-
tion. Make sure it is seated on the rear of the key
cylinder, with the tab of the door key cylinder prop-
erly aligned with the slot on the door cylinder lock
switch.
(2) Disconnect the switch at the harness connector
and check the resistance in each switch position.

VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY
DESCRIPTION
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) is
designed to protect against whole vehicle theft. The
system monitors vehicle doors, hood, liftgate, and
ignition action for unauthorized operation. The alarm
activates:
²Sounding of the horn
²Flashing of the park and tail lamps
²Flashing of the headlamps
²An engine kill feature (without SKIS)
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) is
available as a factory-installed option on this vehicle.
It is designed to provide passive protection against
unauthorized vehicle use by disabling the engine,
after two (2) seconds of running, whenever an invalid
key is used to start the vehicle. The SKIS is active
whenever the ignition is on and does not require any
customer intervention. The primary components of
the system are the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module
(SKIM), Sentry Key (ignition key w/ a transponder
molded into the head), indicator light, Body Control
Module (BCM), and the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The SKIM is mounted to the steering column
with the molded, integral antenna mounted on the
ignition housing. The indicator light, is located in the
message center.
OPERATION
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
Upon failure of proper SKIM communication to the
PCM, the PCM will shut off fuel after two seconds of
run time. The engine will not re-crank on the key
cycle that the failure occurred, a full key down
sequence must be performed for the engine to crank
again. After six consecutive fuel shut-offs, the engine
will no longer crank on subsequent key cycles. The
failure must be corrected and a valid communication
process between the SKIM and the PCM must occur
for the engine to crank and start again.
The electronics for the VTSS are part of the Body
Control Module (BCM). The system is armed when
the vehicle is locked using the:
²Power door lock switches (with any door ajar)
²Remote Keyless Entry transmitter.
²Door Cylinder Lock Switches.
For vehicles equipped with SKIS, the doors do not
have to be locked to enable the fuel shut off feature.
After the vehicle is locked and the last door is
closed, the set LED indicator in the top cover will
flash quickly for 16 seconds, indicating that arming
is in progress. If no monitored systems are activated
during this period, the system will arm. The LED
will extinguish unless the liftgate is open. If the lift-
gate is open, the LED will flash at a slower rate.
This indicates that the system is armed. If fault is
detected on any key cylinder input, the indicator
LED will remain solid during the arming process,
although the system will still arm. If the indicator
LED does not illuminate at all upon door closing it
indicates that the system is not arming.
RSVEHICLE THEFT SECURITY8Q-1
ProCarManuals.com

Passive disarming occurs upon normal vehicle
entry by unlocking either door with the ignition key/
remote transmitter. This disarming will also halt the
alarm once it has been activated.
A tamper alert exists to notify the driver that the
VTSS had been activated. This alert consists of 3
horn pulses when the vehicle is disarmed.
NOTE: The VTSS will not arm by pushing down the
door lock mechanism. This will manually override
the system.
For Door Cylinder Lock Switch Removal and
Installation, refer to Electrical, Power Locks, Door
Cylinder Lock Switch.
If the VTSS is triggered, the horn will pulse, head-
lamps/marker lamps will flash, and the VTSS warn-
ing lamp will flash. If BCM determines the threat to
be false and the VTSS is not triggered again, the sys-
tem will shut down and rearm itself after three min-
utes. If a trigger is still active, the alarm will
continue for an additional 15 minutes without the
horn. The VTSS monitoring portion of the system is
split into two sections. The engine compartment sec-
tion and the passenger compartment section. If a
malfunction occurs in the engine compartment sec-
tion, the passenger compartment section would still
arm and function normally.
NOTE: If hood is not secure during the arming
sequence, the lamp will stay lit and not flash. The
system will arm with hood not secured (hood ajar
switch closed) and the liftgate open (liftgate ajar
switch closed). System will not arm if passenger
compartment is not secure (all switches closed)
ARMING THE VTSS - METHOD A
(1) With the key removed from the ignition lock
and any door open (excluding liftgate), actuate one of
the following:
²Power door lock button to LOCK,
²Key fob LOCK button
²Door lock key cylinder to locked position.
(2) Close all opened doors. Liftgate can remain
open.
(3) After the last door is closed, an arming time-
out period of sixteen seconds will start, then the
VTSS will become armed.
ARMING THE VTSS - METHOD B
Actuating the key fob transmitter LOCK button,
key locking the front doors with the doors closed and
the ignition locked will begin the arming time-out
period. If method A, 16 second time-out sequence was
in process when method B was actuated, the 16 sec-ond time-out will restart from the time of the second
actuation.
If the security lamp does not illuminate at all upon
final door closure, it indicates that the system is not
arming.
The current VTSS status armed or disarmed shall
be maintained in memory to prevent battery discon-
nects from disarming the system.
TRIGGERING THE VTSS
After the VTSS is armed, the following actions will
trigger the alarm:
²Opening any door (excluding liftgate).
²Opening the hood
²Turning the ignition to the ACC, or UNLOCK
position.
NOTE: When the VTSS is ARMED, the interior
power door lock switch ªUNLOCKº will be disabled
until the vehicle is disarmed.
CAUTION: The VTSS indicator LED will trigger and
engine will continue to run if the vehicle is
equipped with SKIS and the proper key is used to
start the vehicle. This condition will occur if the
VTSS has been triggered. If valid key is used, VTSS
will disarm
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
The SKIS includes keys from the factory which are
pre-programmed. Each SKIM will recognize a maxi-
mum of eight Sentry Keys. If the customer would
like to own additional keys other than those provided
with the vehicle, they can be purchased from any
authorized dealer. These keys must be programmed
to the SKIM on the vehicle in order for the system to
recognize them as valid keys. This can be done by
the dealer with a DRB IIItscan tool or by a cus-
tomer if this feature is available in their market and
they have two (2) valid keys already available to
them. Refer to the Service Procedures portion of this
system for additional details. The SKIS performs a
self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position and will store Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC's) if a system malfunction is detected.
The SKIS can be diagnosed and any stored DTC's
can be retrieved using a DRB IIItscan tool as
described in the appropriate Body Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual.

SKIM in addition to being cut to match the mechan-
ical coding of the ignition lock cylinder. Refer to Elec-
trical, Vehicle Theft Security, Transponder Key,
Standard Procedure - Transponder Programming.
The Sentry Key's transponder is within the range
of the SKIM's transceiver antenna ring when it is
inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. When the
ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the
SKIM communicates with the Sentry Key via a radio
frequency (RF) signal. The SKIM determines if a
valid key is present based on the information it
receives from the Sentry Key. If a valid key is
detected, that fact is communicated to the PCM via
the PCI bus and the vehicle is allowed to continue
running. If an invalid key is received by the PCM or
no status at all is communicated, the vehicle will
stall after two (2) seconds of running. The indicator
light will be flashing at this point. The Sentry Key's
transponder can not be repaired. If it is faulty or
damaged, it must be replaced.
Common communication problems:
²Two transponder keys too close together.
²Speed Pass too close to transponder key.
Solid indicator that there is a system failure.
²Loss of PCM communication.
²Failed antenna circuit.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TRANSPONDER
PROGRAMMING
USING A DRB IIITSCAN TOOL
All Sentry Keys included with the vehicle are pre-
programmed to work with the Sentry Key Immobi-
lizer System (SKIS) when it is shipped from the
factory. The Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM)
can be programmed to recognize up to a total of eight
Sentry Keys. When programming a blank Sentry Key
transponder, the key must first be cut to match the
ignition lock cylinder of the vehicle for which it will
be used. The vehicle's four digit PIN code will be
required to complete this task since you will need it
to enter the Secured Access Mode in the SKIM. The
following steps must be completed using a DRB IIIt
scan tool:
(1) Insert the blank key into the ignition and turn
it to the RUN position.
(2) Using a DRB IIItscan tool, select9Theft
Alarm,99SKIM,99Miscellaneous,9and then9Program
New Key.9
(3) Enter the four digit PIN code using the DRB
IIItscan tool. When programming is completed, the
SKIM will exit Secured Access Mode and the DRB
IIItscan tool will display the results of your attempt
to program the key. One of five distinct results may
be displayed. All five are listed below:
²(Programming Successful(is displayed if the
Sentry Key programming is successful.
²(Learned Key in Ignition(is displayed if the
key in the ignition has already been programmed
into that vehicle's SKIM.
²(Eight Keys Already Learned (At The Maxi-
mum) Programming Not Done(is displayed if
eight keys have already been programmed into the
SKIM. In this case, if a new key needs to be added
due to a lost or defective key, the9Erase All Keys9
command (which requires entering the Secured
Access Mode) has to be performed. Following the
9Erase All Keys9command, all keys that will be used
to operate the vehicleMUSTbe reprogrammed to
the SKIM.
²(Programming Not Attempted(is displayed
after an9Erase All Keys9function is executed.
²(Programming Key Failed(is displayed if fur-
ther diagnosis is required.
To learn additional keys, turn the ignition OFF,
remove the learned key, insert the next new blank
key, and repeat the steps from the beginning.
