CABLE
DESCRIPTION
The speed control servo cable is connected between

SERVO
DESCRIPTION
The servo unit consists of a solenoid valve body,
and a vacuum chamber. The solenoid valve body con-
tains three solenoids:
²Vacuum
²Vent
²Dump
The vacuum chamber contains a diaphragm with a
cable attached to control the throttle linkage.
OPERATION
The PCM controls the solenoid valve body. The
solenoid valve body controls the application and
release of vacuum to the diaphragm of the vacuum
servo. The servo unit cannot be repaired and is ser-
viced only as a complete assembly.
Power is supplied to the servo by the PCM through
the brake switch. The PCM controls the ground path
for the vacuum and vent solenoids.
The dump solenoid is energized anytime it receives
power. If power to the dump solenoid is interrupted,
the solenoid dumps vacuum in the servo. This pro-
vides a safety backup to the vent and vacuum sole-
noids.
The vacuum and vent solenoids must be grounded
by the PCM to operate. When the PCM grounds the
vacuum servo solenoid, the solenoid allows vacuum
to enter the servo and pull open the throttle plate
using the cable. When the PCM breaks the ground,
the solenoid closes and no more vacuum is allowed to
enter the servo. The PCM also operates the vent sole-
noid via ground. The vent solenoid opens and closes a
passage to bleed or hold vacuum in the servo as
required.
The PCM cycles the vacuum and vent solenoids to
maintain the set speed, or to accelerate and deceler-
ate the vehicle. To increase throttle opening, the
PCM grounds the vacuum and vent solenoids. To
decrease throttle opening, the PCM removes the
grounds from the vacuum and vent solenoids.

SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
There are two separate switch pods that operate
the speed control system and are located on the
steering wheel.
OPERATION
The speed control system has five separate resis-
tive switches that provide a single multiplexed
(MUX) voltage inputs to the PCM.The switch names
are: ON, OFF, SET, COAST, RESUME, ACCEL, TAP-
UP, COAST, and CANCEL. Based on conditions when
the buttons are pushed (and released), the five volt-
ages ranges provided to the PCM result in the follow-
ing functions: ON, OFF, SET, COAST, RESUME,
ACCEL, TAP-UP, TAP-DOWN, COAST, and CAN-
CEL. Refer to the Speed Control Section for more
information
Also the PCM receives an input from the brake
switch to sense whether the brake pedal has been
depressed. When the PCM receives the brake
depressed input, it turns off power to the speed con-
trol servo and disengages speed control. Also the
power to the servo is supplied through the brake
switch, which opens the circuit when the brake pedal
is depressed.
The individual switches cannot be repaired. If one
switch fails, the entire switch module must be
replaced.
REMOVAL
The speed control switches are mounted in the
steering wheel and wired through the clock spring
device under the airbag module.
WARNING: IF REMOVAL OF AIRBAG MODULE IS
NECESSARY, REFER TO THE RESTRAINT SYS-
TEMS SECTION FOR MORE INFORMATION.

VACUUM RESERVOIR
DESCRIPTION
The vacuum reservoir is located in the engine com-
partment. It is made of plastic.
OPERATION
The reservoir stores engine vacuum. Manifold vac-
uum is supplied from the brake booster check valve.
The speed control vacuum supply hose has a check
valve at the source (brake booster) to maintain the
highest available vacuum level in the servo, reservoir
and vacuum hoses. When engine vacuum drops, as in
climbing a grade while driving, the reservoir supplies
the vacuum needed to maintain proper speed control
operation. The vacuum reservoir cannot be repaired
and must be replaced if faulty.
REMOVAL
(1) Release hood latch and open hood.

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.
Passive disarming occurs upon normal vehicle
entry by unlocking either door with the remote trans-
mitter (RG - ignition key or 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.
RG Only- 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 monitors the passenger compart-
ment (for RG - Export it also monitors the engine
compartment. If a malfunction occurs in the engine
compartment, the passenger compartment would still
arm and function normally).
NOTE: System will not arm if passenger compart-
ment is not secure.
NOTE: (RG - Export - 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
and the liftgate open).
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
²Driver door lock key cylinder to locked position
(RG Only).
(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 (liftgate - only if opening via
liftgate button on key fob).
²Opening the hood (RG - Export)
²Turning the ignition to the RUN 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 SKREES 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 REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM
The SKREES includes keys from the factory which
are pre-programmed. Each SKREEM will recognize a
maximum 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 pro-
grammed to the SKREEM on the vehicle in order for
the system to recognize them as valid keys. This can
be done by the dealer with a DRBllltscan tool or by
a customer 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 SKREES 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 SKREES can be diagnosed and any stored DTC's
can be retrieved using a DRBllltscan tool as
described in the appropriate Body Diagnostic Proce-
dures information.

The SKREEM is located in the same location as
the SKIM was and is mounted the same way. It looks
identical, but has added capabilities.
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS)
authenticates an electronically coded Transponder
Key placed into the ignition and sends a valid/invalid
key message to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) based upon the results. The ªVALID/INVALID
KEYº message communication is performed using a
rolling code algorithm via the Programmable Com-
munication Interface (PCI) data bus. A ªVALID KEYº
RSVEHICLE THEFT SECURITY8Q-3
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY (Continued)

sends a9valid key9message to the Powertrain Con-
trol Module (PCM) over the Programmable Commu-
nication Interface (PCI) data bus. If the response
received identifies the key as invalid or no response
is received from the transponder in the ignition key,
the SKREEM sends an9invalid key9message to the
PCM. The PCM will enable or disable engine opera-
tion based upon the status of the SKREEM mes-
sages. It is important to note that the default
condition in the PCM is9invalid key.9Therefore, if no
response is received by the PCM, the engine will be
immobilized after two (2) seconds of running.
The SKREEM also sends indicator light status
messages to the Mechanical Instrument Cluster
(MIC) to operate the light. This is the method used to
turn the light ON solid or to flash it after the indi-
cator light test is complete to signify a fault in the
SKREES. If the light comes ON and stays ON solid
after the indicator light test, this signifies that the
SKREEM has detected a system malfunction and/or
that the SKREES has become inoperative. If the
SKREEM detects an invalid keyORa key-related
fault exists, the indicator light will flash following
the indicator light test. The SKREEM may also
request an audible chime if the customer key pro-
gramming feature is available and the procedure is
being utilized (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE
THEFT SECURITY/TRANSPONDER KEY - STAN-
DARD PROCEDURE).
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
After pressing the lock button on the RKE trans-
mitter, all of the door locks will lock, the illuminated
entry will turn off (providing all doors are closed),
and the VTSS (if equipped) will arm. After pressing
the unlock button, on the RKE transmitter, one time,
the driver door lock will unlock, the illuminated
entry will turn on the courtesy lamps, and the VTSS
(if equipped) will disarm. After pressing the unlock
button a second time, the remaining door locks will
unlock. The Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) or the DRBIIItscan tool can reprogram this
feature to unlock all of the door locks with one press
of the unlock button. If the vehicle is equipped with
the memory system, the memory message will iden-
tify which transmitter (1 or 2) sent the signal.
The SKREEM is capable of retaining up to 8 indi-
vidual access codes (8 transmitters). If the PRNDL is
in any position except park, the SKREEM will dis-
able the RKE. The 4 button transmitter uses
1-CR2032 battery. The minimum battery life is
approximately 4.7 years based on 20 transmissions a
day at 84ÉF (25ÉC). Use the DRBIIItscan tool or the
Miller Tool 9001 RF Detector to test the RKE trans-
mitter. Use the DRBIIItor the customer program-
ming method to program the RKE system. However,the SKREEM will only allow RKE programming
when the ignition is in the ON position, the PRNDL
is in park position, and the VTSS (if equipped) is dis-
armed.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM)
The SKREEM monitors the signals from the tire
pressure sensor/transmitters and determines if any
tire has gone below the low pressure threshold LOW
TIRE PRESSURE THRESHOLDS table.
LOW TIRE PRESSURE THRESHOLDS
SYSTEM STATUS
INDICATORTIRE PRESSURE
ON 193 kPa (28 PSI)
OFF 227 kPa (33 PSI)
CRITICAL AND NON-CRITICAL SYSTEM ALERTS
CRITICAL:A critical alert will be triggered when
a tire pressure has gone below a set threshold pres-
sure. The SKREEM will display ªX TIRE(S) LOW
PRESSUREº. ªXº will be the number of tires report-
ing low pressure. The message will display for the
duration of the current ignition cycle or until an
EVIC button is pressed. If the display is removed
without correcting the condition, it will reappear 300
seconds to warn the driver of the low pressure condi-
tion.
NON-CRITICAL:A non-critical alert will be trig-
gered when no signal is received from a sensor/trans-
mitter. The EVIC display in the cluster will display
