ignition lock cylinder.
The Sentry Key transponder cannot be repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
INDICATOR LAMP
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) uses
the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) indicator
LED to give an indication when the SKIS is faulty or
when the vehicle has been immobilized due to the
use of an invalid ignition key. The LED is controlled
by the instrument cluster circuitry based upon mes-
sages received from the Sentry Key Immobilizer
Module (SKIM) through the Body Control Module
(BCM) on the Programmable Communication Inter-
face (PCI) bus.
The SKIM sends messages to the instrument clus-
ter, via the BCM, to turn the LED on for about three
seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position as a bulb test. After completion of the bulb
test, the SKIM sends PCI bus messages to keep the
LED off for a duration of about one second. Then the
SKIM sends messages to the instrument cluster cir-
cuitry to turn the LED on or off based upon the
results of the SKIS self-tests. If the VTSS indicator
LED comes on and stays on after the bulb test, it
indicates that the SKIM has detected a system mal-
function and/or that the SKIS has become inopera-
tive. If the SKIM detects an invalid key when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON position, it sends
messages to the instrument cluster to flash the VTSS
indicator LED.
The SKIM can also send messages to the instru-
ment cluster to flash the LED and to generate a sin-
gle audible chime tone. These functions serve as an
indication to the customer that the SKIS has been
placed in its ªCustomer Learnº programming mode.
See Sentry Key Immobilizer System Transponder
Programming in this group for more information on
the ªCustomer Learnº programming mode.
The VTSS indicator LED uses a replaceable Light
Emitting Diode (LED) on the instrument cluster elec-
tronic circuit board. Refer to Group 8E - Instrument
Panel Systems for Cluster Lamp Removal and Instal-
lation. If the VTSS indicator LED comes on and
stays on after the bulb test function, diagnosis of the
SKIS should be performed with a DRB IIItscan tool
and the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures Manual.
TRIGGERING THE VTSS
After the VTSS is armed, any of the following will
trigger the system:
²Opening any door.
²Opening the hood.
²Removing the trunk lock cylinder.²Turning the ignition to the RUN/START position
with an invalid Sentry Key.
NOTE: The ignition switch can be turned to the
accessory position without triggering the alarm sys-
tem.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, REFER TO GROUP 8M - PASSIVE
RESTRAINT SYSTEMS BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY
STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, OR
INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR
SERVICE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIR-
BAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
NOTE: The following tests may not prove conclu-
sive in the diagnosis of this system. The most reli-
able, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the
Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) involves the
use of a DRB lllTscan tool and the proper Body
Diagnostic Procedures Manual.
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) and
the Programmable Communication Interface (PCI)
bus network should be diagnosed using a DRB lllt
scan tool. The DRB IIItwill allow confirmation that
the PCI bus is functional, that the Sentry Key Immo-
bilizer Module (SKIM) is placing the proper messages
on the PCI bus, and that the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) and the instrument cluster are receiv-
ing the PCI bus messages. Refer to the proper Body
Diagnostic Procedures Manual. Refer to Group
8W-Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit descriptions
and diagrams.
(1) Check the fuses in the fuse block. If OK, go to
Step 2. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or com-
ponent as required and replace the faulty fuse.
(2) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable (Fig. 3). Unplug the wire harness connector at
the SKIM. Check for continuity between the ground
circuit cavity of the SKIM wire harness connector
and a good ground. There should be continuity. If
OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the open circuit to
ground as required.
(3) Connect the battery negative cable. Check for
battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of the
SKIM wire harness connector. If OK, go to Step 4. If
not OK, repair the open circuit to the fuse in the fuse
block as required.
