INSTALLATION
(1) Position the power window switch to the rear
door trim panel switch receptacle.
(2) Press firmly and evenly on the back of the
power window switch until it snaps into rear door
trim panel switch receptacle.
(3) Install the trim panel onto the rear door. (Refer
to 23 - BODY/DOORS - REAR/TRIM PANEL -
INSTALLATION) for the procedures.
(4) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
WINDOW MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
Power operated front and rear door windows are
standard equipment on this model. Each door has a
permanent magnet reversible electric motor with an
integral right angle gearbox mechanism that oper-
ates the window regulator. In addition, each power
window motor is equipped with an integral self-reset-
ting circuit breaker to protect the motor from over-
loads.
The power window motor gearbox housing is
secured to the window regulator drum housing with
screws. The window regulators used in all four doors
are single vertical post cable-and-drum type. A
molded plastic slider guided by the post is driven by
the regulator cables. The slider raises and lowers the
window glass through a steel lift plate attachment.
Front and rear glass channels within each door guide
and stabilize each end of the glass.
The power window motor and gearbox assembly
cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
entire power window motor and gearbox unit must be
replaced. The window regulators are available for
service. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/WIN-
DOW REGULATOR - REMOVAL) or (Refer to 23 -
BODY/DOORS - REAR/WINDOW REGULATOR -
REMOVAL) for the regulator service procedures.
OPERATION
A positive and negative battery connection to the
two motor terminals will cause the power window
motor to rotate in one direction. Reversing the cur-
rent through these same two connections will cause
the motor to rotate in the opposite direction.
When the power window motor operates, it rotates
the regulator cable drum through its gearbox. The
window regulator cable drum is connected through
two cables to the plastic slider on the vertical post.
As the cable drum rotates, it lets cable out on one
side of the drum, and takes cable in on the other side
of the drum. The changes in cable length move the
slider up or down the vertical post, raising or lower-
ing the window glass.If the window regulator or window glass bind,
encounter obstructions, or reach their travel limits it
overloads the power window motor. The overloading
condition causes the power window motor self-reset-
ting circuit breaker to open, which stops the motor
from running.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WINDOW MOTOR
Before you proceed with this diagnosis, confirm
proper switch operation. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/DRIVER
DOOR MODULE - OPERATION) or (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER WINDOWS/POWER WIN-
DOW SWITCH - OPERATION). For complete circuit
diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring informa-
tion. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connec-
tor pin-out information and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
(1) Remove the trim panel from the door with the
inoperative power window. (Refer to 23 - BODY/
DOOR - FRONT/TRIM PANEL - REMOVAL) or
(Refer to 23 - BODY/DOORS - REAR/TRIM PANEL -
REMOVAL) for the procedures.
(2) Disconnect the door wire harness connector
from the power window motor wire harness connec-
tor. Apply battery current to one cavity of the power
window motor wire harness connector, and apply
ground to the other cavity of the connector. The
power window motor should operate in one direction.
Remember, if the window is in the full up or full
down position, the motor will not operate in that
direction by design. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK,
replace the faulty power window motor.
(3) Reverse the battery and ground connections to
the two cavities of the power window motor wire har-
ness connector. The power window motor should now
operate in the other direction. Remember, if the win-
dow is in the full up or full down position, the motor
will not operate in that direction by design. If OK, go
to Step 4. If not OK, replace the faulty power window
motor.
(4) If the power window motor operates in both
directions, check the operation of the window glass
and regulator mechanism through its complete up
and down travel. There should be no binding or stick-
ing of the window glass or regulator mechanism
through the entire travel range. If not OK, (Refer to
23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/WINDOW REGULATOR
- REMOVAL) or (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOORS -
REAR/WINDOW REGULATOR - REMOVAL) to
check for proper installation or damage of the win-
dow glass mounting and operating hardware.

include an integral Hall-effect seat belt switch that
detects whether its respective seat belt has been fas-
tened.
²Rear Seat Belts- Both outboard rear seating
positions are equipped with three-point seat belt sys-
tems. The outboard seating position belts employ a
lower C-pillar mounted inertia latch-type retractor,
height-adjustable upper C-pillar mounted turning
loops, and a fixed lower seat belt anchor secured to
the floor panel. The center rear seating position of
vehicles manufactured for sale in North America has
a lap belt that is anchored to the rear floor panel
with the right outboard seat belt buckle. Vehicles
manufactured for sale outside of North America are
equipped with a three-point seat belt in the rear seat
center seating position. This seat belt has an inertia
latch-type retractor that is integral to the rear seat
back panel, and the lower belt anchor is secured to
the rear floor panel with the right outboard seat belt
buckle. A cable from the seat back latch locks the
center belt retractor spool unless the seat back is
fully latched. All three rear seat belts have fixed end-
release seat belt buckles secured to the rear floor
panel, a single buckle unit on the right side and a
double buckle unit on the left side.
²Child Seat Tether Anchors- All vehicles are
equipped with three, fixed-position, child seat upper
tether anchors and two lower anchors. Two upper
anchors are integral to the back of the right rear seat
back panel, and one is integral to the left rear seat
back panel. The two lower anchors are integral to the
outboard rear seat back brackets.
PASSIVE RESTRAINTS
The passive restraints available for this model
include the following:
²Dual Front Airbags- Multistage driver and
front passenger airbags are available for this model.
This airbag system is a passive, inflatable, Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS) and vehicles with
this equipment can be readily identified by the ªSRS
- AIRBAGº logo molded into the driver airbag trim
cover in the center of the steering wheel and also
into the passenger airbag door area of the instru-
ment panel top pad above the glove box (Fig. 2).
Vehicles with the airbag system can also be identifiedby the airbag indicator, which will illuminate in the
instrument cluster for about seven seconds as a bulb
test each time the ignition switch is turned to the On
position.
²Side Curtain Airbags- Optional side curtain
airbags are available for this model when it is also
equipped with dual front airbags. This airbag system
is a passive, inflatable, Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem (SRS) and vehicles with this equipment can be
readily identified by a molded identification trim but-
ton with the ªSRS - AIRBAGº logo located on the
headliner above each B-pillar (Fig. 2).
The supplemental restraint system includes the
following major components, which are described in
further detail elsewhere in this service information:
²Airbag Control Module- The Airbag Control
Module (ACM) is also sometimes referred to as the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). The ACM is
located on a mount on the floor panel transmission
tunnel near the park brake release mechanism,
under the center floor console.
²Airbag Indicator- The airbag indicator is inte-
gral to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC), which is located on the instrument panel in
front of the driver.
²Clockspring- The clockspring is located near
the top of the steering column, directly beneath the
steering wheel.
²Driver Airbag- The driver airbag is located in
the center of the steering wheel, beneath the driver
airbag trim cover.
²Driver Knee Blocker- The driver knee blocker
is a structural unit secured to the back side of and
integral to the instrument panel steering column
opening cover.
²Front Impact Sensor- Two front impact sen-
sors are used on vehicles equipped with dual front
airbags, one left side and one right side. One sensor
is located on a bracket on the lower inboard side of
each vertical member of the radiator support.

RESTRAINTS (Continued)

²Passenger Airbag- The passenger airbag is
located on the instrument panel, beneath the instru-
ment panel top pad and above the glove box on the
passenger side of the vehicle.
²Passenger Knee Blocker- The passenger knee
blocker is a structural reinforcement that is integral
to and concealed within the glove box door.
²Side Impact Sensor- Two side impact sensors
are used on vehicles with the optional side curtain
airbags, one left side and one right side. One sensor
is located behind the B-pillar trim near the base of
each B-pillar.
²Side Curtain Airbag- In vehicles equipped
with this option, a side curtain airbag is located on
each inside roof side rail above the headliner, and
extends from the A-pillar to just beyond the C-pillar.
The ACM and the EMIC each contain a central
processing unit and programming that allow them to
communicate with each other using the Programma-
ble Communication Interface (PCI) data bus network.
This method of communication is used by the ACM
for control of the airbag indicator on all models
equipped with dual front airbags. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/
COMMUNICATION - DESCRIPTION).
Hard wired circuitry connects the supplemental
restraint system components to each other through
the electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired
circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which
are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by
many different methods. These circuits may be con-
nected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system,
and to the supplemental restraint system compo-
nents through the use of a combination of soldered
splices, splice block connectors, and many different
types of wire harness terminal connectors and insu-
lators. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
The wiring information includes wiring diagrams,
proper wire and connector repair procedures, further
details on wire harness routing and retention, as well
as pin-out and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
OPERATION
ACTIVE RESTRAINTS
The primary passenger restraints in this or any
other vehicle are the standard equipment factory-in-
stalled seat belts. Seat belts are referred to as an
active restraint because the vehicle occupants are
required to physically fasten and properly adjust
these restraints in order to benefit from them. See
the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the features, use and operation of all
of the factory-installed active restraints.PASSIVE RESTRAINTS
The passive restraints system is referred to as a
supplemental restraint system because they were
designed and are intended to enhance the protection
for the vehicle occupants of the vehicleonlywhen
used in conjunction with the seat belts. They are
referred to as passive systems because the vehicle
occupants are not required to do anything to make
them operate; however, the vehicle occupants must
be wearing their seat belts in order to obtain the
maximum safety benefit from the factory-installed
supplemental restraint systems.
The supplemental restraint system electrical cir-
cuits are continuously monitored and controlled by a
microprocessor and software contained within the
Airbag Control Module (ACM). An airbag indicator in
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
illuminates for about seven seconds as a bulb test
each time the ignition switch is turned to the On or
Start positions. Following the bulb test, the airbag
indicator is turned on or off by the ACM to indicate
the status of the supplemental restraint system. If
the airbag indicator comes on at any time other than
during the bulb test, it indicates that there is a prob-
lem in the supplemental restraint system electrical
circuits. Such a problem may cause airbags not to
deploy when required, or to deploy when not
required.
Deployment of the supplemental restraints
depends upon the angle and severity of an impact.
Deployment is not based upon vehicle speed; rather,
deployment is based upon the rate of deceleration as
measured by the forces of gravity (G force) upon the
impact sensors. When an impact is severe enough,
the microprocessor in the ACM signals the inflator
unit of the airbag module to deploy the airbag. Dur-
ing a frontal vehicle impact, the knee blockers work
in concert with properly fastened and adjusted seat
belts to restrain both the driver and the front seat
passenger in the proper position for an airbag deploy-
ment. The knee blockers also absorb and distribute
the crash energy from the driver and the front seat
passenger to the structure of the instrument panel.
Typically, the vehicle occupants recall more about
the events preceding and following a collision than
they have of an airbag deployment itself. This is
because the airbag deployment and deflation occur so
rapidly. In a typical 48 kilometer-per-hour (30 mile-
per-hour) barrier impact, from the moment of impact
until the airbags are fully inflated takes about 40
milliseconds. Within one to two seconds from the
moment of impact, the airbags are almost entirely
deflated. The times cited for these events are approx-
imations, which apply only to a barrier impact at the
given speed. Actual times will vary somewhat,

DESCRIPTION - SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
Vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer
System (SKIS) can be identified by the presence of
an amber SKIS indicator in the instrument cluster
that will illuminate for about three seconds each
time the ignition switch is turned to the On position,
or by a gray molded rubber cap on the head of the
ignition key. Models not equipped with SKIS still
have a SKIS indicator in the cluster, but it will not
illuminate. Also, models not equipped with the SKIS
have a black molded rubber cap on the head of the
ignition key.
The SKIS includes the following major components,
which are described in further detail elsewhere in
this service manual:²Powertrain Control Module
²Sentry Key Immobilizer Module
²Sentry Key Transponder
²SKIS Indicator
Except for the Sentry Key transponders, which rely
upon Radio Frequency (RF) communication, hard
wired circuitry connects the SKIS components to the
electrical system of the vehicle.Refer to the appropri-
ate wiring information.
OPERATION
OPERATION - VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY
SYSTEM
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) is
divided into two basic subsystems: Vehicle Theft
Alarm (VTA) and Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS). The following are paragraphs that briefly
describe the operation of each of those two sub-
systems.
A Body Control Module (BCM) is used to control
and integrate many of the functions and features
included in the Vehicle Theft Security System
(VTSS). In the VTSS, the BCM receives inputs indi-
cating the status of the door ajar switches, the driver
cylinder lock switch, the ignition switch, the liftgate
ajar switches, the liftgate flip-up glass ajar switch,
the power lock switches and, in vehicles so equipped,
the hood ajar switch. The programming in the BCM
allows it to process the information from all of these
inputs and send control outputs to energize or de-en-
ergize the combination flasher, the horn relay (except
vehicles with the premium version of the VTA), and
the VTSS indicator. In addition, in vehicles built for
certain markets where premium versions of the VTA
is required, the BCM also exchanges messages with
the Intrusion Transceiver Module (ITM) over the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data
buss network to provide the features found in this
version of the VTA. The control of these inputs and
outputs are what constitute all of the features of the
VTSS. Following is information on the operation of
each of the VTSS features.
ENABLING
The BCM must have the VTSS function enabled in
order for the VTSS to perform as designed. The logic
in the BCM keeps its VTSS function dormant until it
is enabled using a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.
PRE-ARMING
The VTA has a pre-arming sequence. Pre-arming
occurs when a door, the tailgate, or the flip-up glass
is open when the vehicle is locked using a power lock
8Q - 2 VEHICLE THEFT SECURITYWJ
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY (Continued)

switch, or when the ªLockº button on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is depressed. The
powerlock switch will not initiate the pre-arming
sequence if the key is in the ignition switch. When
the VTA is pre-armed, the arming sequence is
delayed until all of the doors, the tailgate and the
flip-up glass are closed.
ARMING
Passive arming of the VTSS occurs when the vehi-
cle is exited with the key removed from the ignition
switch, the headlamps are turned off, and the doors
are locked while they are open using the power lock
switch. The power lock switch will not function if the
key is in the ignition switch or the headlamps are
turned on with the driver side front door open. The
VTSS will not arm if the driver side front door is
locked using the key in the lock cylinder or using the
mechanical lock button. Active arming of the VTSS
occurs when the ªLockº button on the Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) transmitter is depressed to lock the
vehicle, even if the doors and/or the liftgate are open
when the RKE transmitter Lock button is depressed.
However, the VTSS arming will not be complete until
all of the doors, the liftgate and the liftgate flip-up
glass are closed. On vehicles equipped with the hood
ajar switch, VTSS arming will complete if the hood is
open, but the underhood area will not be protected
unless the hood is closed when the VTSS is armed.
Following successful passive or active VTSS arm-
ing, the VTSS indicator on the top of the instrument
panel will flash rapidly for about sixteen seconds
after the illuminated entry system times out. This
indicates that VTSS arming is in progress. Once the
sixteen second arming function is successfully com-
pleted, the indicator will flash at a slower rate, indi-
cating that the VTSS is armed.
DISARMING
Passive disarming of the VTSS occurs when the
vehicle is unlocked using the key to unlock the driver
side front door. Active disarming of the VTSS occurs
when the vehicle is unlocked by depressing the
ªUnlockº button of the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter. Once the alarm has been activated,
either disarming method will also deactivate the
alarm. Depressing the ªPanicº button on the RKE
transmitter will also disarm the VTSS, but the horn
will continue to pulse and the exterior lamps will
continue to flash for about three minutes as part of
the Panic feature function. The Panic feature is over-
ridden if the ªPanicº button is depressed a second
time, or if a vehicle speed of about 24 kilometers-per-
hour (15 miles-per-hour) is attained.POWER-UP MODE
When the armed VTSS senses that the battery has
been disconnected and reconnected, it enters its pow-
er-up mode. In the power-up mode the alarm system
remains armed following a battery failure or discon-
nect. If the VTSS was armed prior to a battery dis-
connect or failure, the technician or vehicle operator
will have to actively or passively disarm the alarm
system after the battery is reconnected. The pow-
er-up mode will also apply if the battery goes dead
while the system is armed, and battery jump-starting
is then attempted. The VTSS will be armed until it is
actively or passively disarmed. If the VTSS is in the
disarmed mode prior to a battery disconnect or fail-
ure, it will remain disarmed after the battery is
reconnected or replaced, or if jump-starting is
attempted.
ALARM
The VTA alarm output varies by the version of the
VTA with which the vehicle is equipped. In all cases,
the alarm provides both visual and audible outputs;
however, the time intervals of these outputs vary by
the requirements of the market for which the vehicle
is manufactured. In all cases, the visual output will
be a flashing of the exterior lamps. For vehicles
equipped with North American or the base version of
the VTA, the audible output will be the pulsing of the
horn. For vehicles with the premium version of the
VTA, the audible output will be the cycling of the
siren. The inputs that will trigger the alarm include
the door ajar switch, the flip-up glass ajar switch,
and in vehicles built for certain markets where they
are required, the hood ajar switch and the Intrusion
Transceiver Module (ITM).
TAMPER ALERT
The VTSS tamper alert feature will sound the horn
(or the alarm siren for the premium version) three
times upon VTA disarming, if the alarm was trig-
gered and has since timed-out (about eighteen min-
utes). This feature alerts the vehicle operator that
the VTA alarm was activated while the vehicle was
unattended.
INTRUSION ALARM
The Intrusion Alarm is an exclusive feature of the
premium version of the VTA, which is only available
in certain markets, where it is required. When the
VTA is armed, a motion sensor in the Intrusion
Transceiver Module (ITM) monitors the interior of
the vehicle for movement. If motion is detected, the
ITM sends a message to the BCM over the PCI bus
to invoke the visual alarm feature, and sends a mes-
sage to the alarm siren over a dedicated serial bus to
invoke the audible alarm feature. The motion detec-
WJVEHICLE THEFT SECURITY 8Q - 3
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY (Continued)

tion feature of the ITM can be disabled by depressing
the ªLockº button on the RKE transmitter three
times or cycling the key in the driver door cylinder
from the center to lock position within fifteen seconds
during VTA arming, while the security indicator is
still flashing rapidly. The VTA provides a single short
siren ªchirpº as an audible conformation that the
motion detect disable request has been received. The
ITM must be electronically enabled in order for the
intrusion alarm to perform as designed. The intru-
sion alarm function of the ITM is enabled on vehicles
equipped with this option at the factory, but a service
replacement ITM must be configured and enabled by
the dealer using the DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.
OPERATION - SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) is
designed to provide passive protection against unau-
thorized vehicle use by disabling the engine after
about two seconds of running, whenever any method
other than a valid Sentry Key is used to start the
vehicle. The SKIS is considered a passive protection
system because it is always active when the ignition
system is energized and does not require any cus-
tomer intervention. The SKIS uses Radio Frequency
(RF) communication to obtain confirmation that the
key in the ignition switch is a valid key for operating
the vehicle. The microprocessor-based SKIS hard-
ware and software also uses messages to communi-
cate with other modules in the vehicle over the
Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CON-
TROL MODULES/COMMUNICATION - OPERA-
TION).
Pre-programmed Sentry Key transponders are pro-
vided with the vehicle from the factory. Each Sentry
Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) will recognize a
maximum of eight Sentry Keys. If the customer
would like additional keys other than those provided
with the vehicle, they may be purchased from any
authorized dealer. These additional keys must be pro-
grammed to the SKIM in the vehicle in order for the
system to recognize them as valid keys. This can be
done by the dealer using a DRBIIItscan tool or, if
Customer Learn programming is an available SKIS
feature in the market where the vehicle was pur-
chased, the customer can program the additional
keys, as long as at least two valid Sentry Keys are
already available. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHI-
CLE THEFT SECURITY - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE - TRANSPONDER PROGRAMMING).
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the igni-
tion switch is turned to the On position, and will
store fault information in the form of DiagnosticTrouble Codes (DTC's) if a system malfunction is
detected. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic informa-
tion.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - VEHICLE THEFT
SECURITY SYSTEM
The VTSS-related hard wired inputs to and out-
puts from the Body Control Module (BCM), the
Driver Door Module (DDM), or the Passenger Door
Module (PDM) may be diagnosed and tested using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer
to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the BCM, the
DDM, the PDM, or the Programmable Communica-
tions Interface (PCI) data bus network. In order to
obtain conclusive testing of the VTSS, the BCM, the
DDM, the PDM, and the PCI data bus network must
also be checked. The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the VTSS requires the
use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diag-
nostic information.

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 switch lock cylinde for which it will be used.
Once the additional key has been cut, the SKIM
must be programmed to recognize it as a valid key.
There are two possible methods to program the
SKIM to recognize a new or additional valid key, the
Secured Access Method and the Customer Learn
Method. Following are the details of these two pro-
gramming methods.
SECURED ACCESS METHOD
The Secured Access method applies to all vehicles.
This method requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool.
This method will also require that you have access to
the unique four-digit PIN code that was assigned to
the original SKIM. The PIN codemustbe used to
enter the Secured Access Mode in the SKIM. This
PIN number may be obtained from the vehicle owner,
from the original vehicle invoice, or from the
DaimlerChrysler Customer Center. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information for the proper
Secured Access method programming procedures.
CUSTOMER LEARN METHOD
The Customer Learn feature is only available on
domestic vehicles, or those vehicles which have a
U.S. country code designator. This programming
method also requires access to at least two valid Sen-
try Keys. If two valid Sentry Keys are not available,
or if the vehicle does not have a U.S. country code
designator, the Secured Access Methodmustbe used
to program new or additional valid keys to the SKIM.
The Customer Learn programming method proce-
dures are as follows:
(1) Obtain the blank Sentry Key(s) that are to be
programmed as valid keys for the vehicle. Cut the
blank key(s) to match the ignition switch lock cylin-
der mechanical key codes.
(2) Insert one of the two valid Sentry Keys into the
ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the
On position.
(3) After the ignition switch has been in the On
position for longer than three seconds, but no more
than fifteen seconds, cycle the ignition switch back to
the Off position. Replace the first valid Sentry Key in
the ignition switch lock cylinder with the second
valid Sentry Key and turn the ignition switch back to
the On position. The second valid Sentry Key must
be inserted in the lock cylinder within fifteen seconds
of removing the first valid key.
(4) About ten seconds after the completion of Step
3, the SKIS indicator in the instrument cluster will
start to flash and a single audible chime tone willsound to indicate that the system has entered the
Customer Learn programming mode.
(5) Within sixty seconds of entering the Customer
Learn programming mode, turn the ignition switch to
the Off position, replace the valid Sentry Key with a
blank Sentry Key transponder, and turn the ignition
switch back to the On position.
(6) About ten seconds after the completion of Step
5, a single audible chime tone will sound and the
SKIS indicator will stop flashing, stay on solid for
three seconds, then turn off to indicate that the
blank Sentry Key has been successfully programmed.
The SKIS will immediately exit the Customer Learn
programming mode and the vehicle may now be
started using the newly programmed valid Sentry
Key.
Each of these steps must be repeated and com-
pleted in their entirety for each additional Sentry
Key that is to be programmed. If the above steps are
not completed in the given sequence, or within the
allotted time, the SKIS will exit the Customer Learn
programming mode and the programming will be
unsuccessful. The SKIS will also automatically exit
the Customer Learn programming mode if it sees a
non-blank Sentry Key transponder when it should
see a blank, if it has already programmed eight (8)
valid Sentry Keys, or if the ignition switch is turned
to the Off position for more than about fifty seconds.
NOTE: If an attempt is made to start the vehicle
while in the Customer Learn mode (SKIS indicator
flashing), the SKIS will respond as though the vehi-
cle were being started with an invalid key. In other
words, the engine will stall after about two seconds
of operation. No faults will be set.
NOTE: Once a Sentry Key has been programmed as
a valid key to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed
as a valid key for use on any other vehicle.
DOOR CYLINDER LOCK
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles manufactured for North American mar-
kets that are equipped with the optional Vehicle
Theft Security System (VTSS) have a door cylinder
lock switch secured to the back of the key lock cylin-
der inside the drivers front door (Fig. 1). The door
cylinder lock switch is a resistor multiplexed momen-
tary switch that is hard wired in series between the
door lock switch ground and right or left cylinder
lock switch mux circuits of the Drivers Door Module
(DDM) through the front door wire harness. The door
WJVEHICLE THEFT SECURITY 8Q - 7
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY (Continued)

cylinder lock switches are driven by the key lock cyl-
inders and contain two internal resistors. One resis-
tor value is used for the Lock position, and one for
the Unlock position.
The door cylinder lock switches cannot be adjusted
or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The door cylinder lock switches are actuated by the
key lock cylinder when the key is inserted in the lock
cylinder and turned to the lock or unlock positions.
The door cylinder lock switch close a circuit between
the door lock switch ground circuit and the left or
right cylinder lock switch mux circuits through one of
two internal resistors for the Driver Door Module
(DDM) when either front door key lock cylinder is in
the Lock, or Unlock positions. The DDM reads the
switch status through an internal pull-up, then uses
this information as an input for the Vehicle Theft
Security System (VTSS) operation.
The door cylinder lock switches and circuits can be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and
methods.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DOOR CYLINDER
LOCK SWITCH
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire har-
ness connectors, splices and grounds.(1) Disconnect the door cylinder lock switch pigtail
wire connector from the door wire harness connector.
(2) Using a ohmmeter, check the switch resistance
checks between the two terminals in the door cylin-
der lock switch pigtail wire connector. Actuate the
switch by rotating the key in the door lock cylinder
to test for the proper resistance values in each of the
two switch positions, as shown in the Door Cylinder
Lock Switch Test table.

resistance tests, replace the faulty switch.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the outside door handle unit from the
outer door panel. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR -
FRONT/EXTERIOR HANDLE - REMOVAL).
(3) Remove the retainer clip from the pin on the
back of the door lock cylinder (Fig. 2).
(4) Remove the lock lever from the pin on the back
of the door lock cylinder.

DOOR CYLINDER LOCK SWITCH (Continued)

The ITM microprocessor continuously monitors
inputs from its on-board motion sensor as well as
inputs from the BCM and the alarm siren module.
The ITM motion sensor transmits ultrasonic signals
into the vehicle cabin through a transmit transducer,
then listens to the returning signals as the bounce off
of objects in the vehicle interior. If an object is mov-
ing in the interior, a detection circuit in the ITM
senses this movement through the modulation of the
returning ultrasonic signals that occurs due to the
Doppler effect. The motion detect function of the ITM
can be disabled by depressing the ªLockº button on
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter three
times within fifteen seconds, while the security indi-
cator is still flashing rapidly or by cycling the key in
the driver door cylinder from the center to the lock
position. The ITM will signal the alarm siren module
to provide a single siren ªchirpº as an audible confir-
mation that the motion sensor function has been dis-
abled.
If movement is detected, the ITM sends an mes-
sage to the BCM over the PCI data bus to flash the
exterior lighting and send a message to the alarm
siren module over a dedicated serial bus line to
sound the siren. When the BCM detects a breach in
the perimeter protection through a door, tailgate,
flip-up glass, or hood ajar switch input, it sends an
message to the ITM and the ITM sends an message
to the BCM over the PCI data bus to flash the exte-
rior lighting and send a message to the alarm siren
module over a dedicated serial bus line to sound the
siren. The ITM also monitors inputs from the alarm
siren module for siren battery or siren input/output
circuit tamper alerts, and siren battery condition
alerts, then sets active and stored Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC) for any monitored system faults it
detects. An active fault only remains for the current
ignition switch cycle, while a stored fault causes a
DTC to be stored in memory by the ITM. If a fault
does not reoccur for fifty ignition cycles, the ITM will
automatically erase the stored DTC.
The ITM is connected to the vehicle electrical sys-
tem through the overhead wire harness. The ITM
receives battery voltage on a B(+) circuit through a
fuse in the Junction Block (JB), and is grounded to
the chassis at G303. These connections allow the
ITM to remain operational, regardless of the ignition
switch position. The hard wired inputs and outputs
for the ITM may be diagnosed and tested using con-
ventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However,
conventional diagnostic methods will not prove con-
clusive in the diagnosis of the ITM, the PCI data bus
network, or the electronic message inputs to and out-
puts from the ITM. The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the ITM, the PCI data
bus network, and the message inputs to and outputsfrom the ITM requires the use of a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) While pulling downward lightly on the rear cor-
ner of the Intrusion Transceiver Module (ITM) trim
cover, insert a small thin-bladed screwdriver through
each of the service holes on the rear edge of the trim
cover to release the two integral rear latch features
of the module from the mounting bracket above the
headliner (Fig. 7).
(3) Pull the ITM trim cover rearward far enough
to disengage the two front latch features of the mod-
ule from the mounting bracket above the headliner.
(4) Pull the ITM and trim cover down from the
headliner far enough to access and disconnect the
overhead wire harness connector for the ITM from
the module connector.
(5) Remove the ITM from the headliner.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the Intrusion Transceiver Module
(ITM) to the headliner.
(2) Reconnect the overhead wire harness connector
for the ITM to the module connector.
