modes of operation after receiving the vehicle from
the assembly plant. Refer to Group 8Q-Vehicle
Theft/Security Systems, Switching Operating
Modes/Configuring a New Module under Service
Procedures.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
The system allows locking and unlock of vehicle
door(s) and deck lid by remote control using a hand
held radio frequency (RF) transmitter. The vehicle
speed must be less than five miles per hour before
the deck lid can be unlatched with the transmitter.
The receiver may receive signals from four transmit-
ters. Each transmitter has its own code and the code
has been stored in memory. If the transmitter is
replaced or other transmitters are added, the code for
each unit must be learned.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER
The transmitter has four buttons for operation
(Fig. 1). They are LOCK, UNLOCK, DECK LID
RELEASE, and PANIC.
²The UNLOCK button will unlock the driver door
and enable illuminated entry. Pushing and releasing
the button once will unlock the driver door. Pushing
and releasing the button two times within a five sec-
ond period will unlock all doors (double unlock acti-
vation enabled).
²Upon pressing the LOCK button, the horn will
sound a short chirp (if enabled) and flash the park
lamps to notify that the all door lock signal was
received and acted upon. Illuminated entry is can-
celled and the interior lamps are faded to off.
²Pushing and releasing the DECK LID
RELEASE button twice within a five second period
will actuate the decklid release solenoid, causing the
deck lid to be slightly ajar. If so desired, the decklid
may be set to release after one button push by the
dealer. For procedures on programming with the
DRB IIItscan tool, refer to the proper Body Diagnos-
tic Procedures Manual.
²Pushing the PANIC button will cause the panic
alarm to sound for three minutes, until the panic
button is pressed a second time, or until the vehicle
reaches a speed of 15 mph.
HORN CHIRP TOGGLE
Once the transmitters have been programmed, the
horn chirp can be enabled/disabled by sending the
horn chirp toggle operation code to the RKE Module.
This can be done using a DRB IIItscan tool or by
the customer. The horn chirp will enter the oppositestate of its current programmed state by receiving
this operation code. The RKE module is responsible
for keeping track of the horn chirp status.

SERVICE PROCEDURES (Continued)

VTSS disarming occurs upon normal vehicle entry
by unlocking either door via the key cylinders or
RKE transmitter, or by starting the vehicle with a
valid Sentry Key. This disarming will also halt the
alarm once it has been activated.
A tamper alert exists to notify the driver that the
system had been activated. This alert consists of 3
horn pulses when the vehicle is disarmed.
The VTSS will not arm by mechanically locking the
vehicle doors. This will manually override the sys-
tem.
In the dealer lot storage mode of operation, all of
the above descriptions of the VTSS are true with the
following exceptions:
²Remote Keyless Entry functions are disabled,
and cannot be used for arming/disarming the VTSS.
²The VTSS indicator is non-operational.
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (SKIS)
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) is
designed to provide passive protection against unau-
thorized vehicle use by preventing the engine from
operating while the system is armed. The primary
components of this system are the Sentry Key Immo-
bilizer Module (SKIM), the Sentry Key transponder,
the Vehicle Theft/Security System (VTSS) indicator
LED, and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The SKIM is installed on the steering column near
the ignition lock cylinder. The transponder is located
under the molded rubber cap on the head of the igni-
tion key. The VTSS indicator LED is located in the
instrument cluster.
The SKIS includes three valid Sentry Key tran-
sponders from the factory, one being a valet key. This
is so the customer can self program new keys if one
is lost. If the customer wishes, additional non-coded
blank Sentry Keys are available. These blank keys
can be cut to match a valid ignition key, but the
engine will not start unless the key transponder is
also programmed to the vehicle. The SKIS will recog-
nize no more than eight valid Sentry Key transpon-
ders at any one time.
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the igni-
tion 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 can be retrieved using a DRB
llltscan tool as described in the proper Body Diag-
nostic Procedures Manual.
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER MODULE (SKIM)
The Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) (Fig.
1) contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a
central processing unit, which includes the Sentry
Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) program logic. The
SKIS programming enables the SKIM to programand retain in memory the codes of at least two, but
no more than eight electronically coded Sentry Key
transponders. The SKIS programming also enables
the SKIM to communicate over the Programmable
Communication Interface (PCI) bus network with the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the instrument
cluster and/or the DRB IIItscan tool.
The SKIM transmits and receives RF signals
through a tuned antenna enclosed within a molded
plastic ring formation that is integral to the SKIM
housing. When the SKIM is properly installed on the
steering column, the antenna ring is oriented around
the circumference of the ignition lock cylinder hous-
ing (Fig. 1). This antenna ring must be located
within eight millimeters (0.31 inches) of the Sentry
Key in order to ensure proper RF communication
between the SKIM and the Sentry Key transponder.
For added system security, each SKIM is pro-
grammed with a unique ªSecret Keyº code and a
security code. The SKIM keeps the ªSecret Keyº code
in memory and sends the code over the CCD data
bus to the PCM, which also keeps this code in its
memory. The SKIM also sends the ªSecret Keyº code
to each of the programmed Smart Key transponders.
The security code is used by the assembly plant to
access the SKIS for initialization, or by the dealer
technician to access the system for service. The
SKIM also stores in its memory the Vehicle Identifi-
cation Number (VIN), which it learns through a PCI
bus message from the PCM during initialization.
The SKIM and the PCM both use software that
includes a rolling code algorithm strategy, which
helps to reduce the possibility of unauthorized SKIS

memory to determine whether a valid key is in the
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.

SKIM's memory.
(5) Program the country code into the SKIM's
memory (U. S.).
(6) Transfer the vehicle's unique Secret Key data
from the PCM. This process will require the SKIM to
be insecured access mode. The PIN number must
be entered into the DRB IIItbefore the SKIM will
entersecured access mode. Oncesecured access
modeis active, the SKIM will remain in that mode
for 60 seconds.
(7) Program all customer keys into the SKIM's
memory. This required that the SKIM be insecured
access modeThe SKIM will immediately exit
secured access modeafter each key is pro-
grammed.
NOTE: SECURED ACCESS MODE is not required to
query the programmed status of the key.
NOTE: If a PCM is replaced, the unique ªSecret
Keyº data must be transferred from the SKIM to the
PCM. This procedure requires the SKIM to be
placed in SECURED ACCESS MODE using the four
digit PIN code.
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
TRANSPONDER PROGRAMMING
Three programmed Sentry Key transponders are
included with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) when it is shipped from the factory. The Sen-
try Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) can be pro-
grammed to recognize up to five additional
transponders, for a total of eight Sentry Keys. The
following ªCustomer Learnº programming procedure
for the programming of additional transponders
requires access to at least two of the valid Sentry
