²If the power lock system functions with the RKE
transmitter, but not with one or both power lock
switches, proceed to diagnosis of the door modules.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CON-
TROL MODULES/DOOR MODULE - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING).
²If the driver side power lock switch operates
only the driver side front door power lock motor, but
all other power lock motors operate with the passen-
ger side power lock switch or the RKE transmitter,
use a DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diagnos-
tic information to diagnose the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus.
²If only one power lock motor fails to operate
with both power lock switches and the RKE trans-
mitter, proceed to diagnosis of the power lock motor.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS/POWER
LOCK MOTOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REMOTE KEYLESS
ENTRY SYSTEM
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system. However, these
tests may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
this system. In order to obtain conclusive testing of
the RKE system, the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network and all of the elec-
tronic modules that provide inputs to, or receive out-
puts from the RKE system components must be
checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the RKE system requires the use of a
DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diagnostic
information. The DRBIIItscan tool can provide con-
firmation that the PCI data bus is functional, that all
of the electronic modules are sending and receiving
the proper messages on the PCI data bus, and that
the RKE receiver is being sent the proper radio fre-
quency signals by the RKE transmitters to perform
its RKE system functions.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS
As a preliminary diagnosis for the RKE system,
note the system operation while you perform both the
Lock and Unlock functions with the power lock
switches and with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter. Then, proceed as follows:
²If the entire power lock system fails to function
with either the power lock switches or the RKE
transmitter, check the fused B(+) fuse in the PowerDistribution Center. If the fuse is OK, proceed to the
diagnosis for the door modules. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/
DOOR MODULE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
²If the power lock system functions with both
power lock switches, but not with the RKE transmit-
ter, proceed to the diagnosis for the RKE transmitter.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS/RE-
MOTE KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER - DIAG-
NOSIS AND TESTING).
²If the driver side power lock switch operates
only the driver side front door power lock motor, but
all other power lock motors operate with the passen-
ger side power lock switch or the RKE transmitter,
use a DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diagnos-
tic information to diagnose the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus.
If the problem being diagnosed involves only the
Sound Horn on Lock or the Flash Lights with Locks
features, be certain that these programmable fea-
tures are enabled. If the features are enabled and the
service horn and turn signals still operate, the Body
Control Module (BCM) and the PCI data bus must be
tested. For diagnosis of the BCM or the PCI data
bus, the use of a DRBIII scan tool and the appropri-
ate diagnostic information are required.

DOOR CYLINDER LOCK
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The driver cylinder lock switch is integral to the
key lock cylinder inside the driver side front door.
The driver cylinder lock switch is a resistive multi-
plexed switch that is hard wired between a body
ground and the Driver Door Module (DDM) through
the front door wire harness. It maintains a path to
ground, and changes voltages through an internal
resistor when the lock cylinder is rotated to the lock
or unlock position.
The driver cylinder lock switch cannot be adjusted
or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the driver side
front door lock cylinder unit must be replaced. (Refer
to 23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/LOCK CYLINDER -
REMOVAL) and (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR -
FRONT/LOCK CYLINDER - INSTALLATION). Refer
to the appropriate wiring information. The wiringinformation 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
The driver cylinder lock switch is actuated by the
key lock cylinder when the key is inserted in the lock
cylinder and turned to the unlock position. The
driver cylinder lock switch maintains a path to
ground and changes voltages through an internal
resistor for the DDM when the driver door key lock
cylinder is in the lock or unlock position. The DDM
reads the switch status through an internal pull-up,
then sends the proper switch status messages to
other electronic modules over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network.
The driver cylinder lock switch unlock status mes-
sage is used by the BCM as an input for Vehicle
Theft Security System (VTSS) operation and interior
lighting.
POWER LOCK MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
Power operated front door, rear door, and liftgate
locking mechanisms are standard equipment on this
model. The lock mechanisms are actuated by a
reversible electric motor mounted within each door
and the liftgate. The power lock motors for the doors
are integral to the door latch units. The liftgate
power lock motor is a separate unit secured to the
latch brainplate near the center of the liftgate and
operates the liftgate latch lock mechanism through a
connecting linkage rod.
The power lock motors for the four doors cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
entire door latch unit must be replaced. The liftgate
power lock motor cannot be adjusted or repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, the entire liftgate latch actua-
tor (brainplate) unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The driver side front door power lock motor is con-
trolled by the Driver Door Module (DDM). The
remaining power door lock motors and the liftgate
power lock motor are controlled by the Passenger
Door Module (PDM). A positive and negative battery
connection to the two motor terminals will cause the
power lock motor plunger to move in one direction.
Reversing the current through these same two con-
nections will cause the power lock motor plunger to
move in the opposite direction.

POWER MIRRORS
DESCRIPTION
Driver and passenger side power operated outside
rear view mirrors are standard factory-installed
equipment on this model. The power mirror system
allows the driver to adjust both outside mirrors elec-
trically from the driver seat position by operating a
switch on the driver side front door trim panel. The
power mirror system receives non-switched battery
current through a fuse in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) so that the power mirrors remain oper-
ational, regardless of the ignition switch position.
The standard equipment power operated outside
rear view mirrors are also equipped with the heated
mirror system, which will only operate when the
ignition switch is in the On position and the rear
window defogger switch is turned on. When the rear
window defogger switch is in the On position, electric
heater grids on the rear window glass and behind
both outside rear view mirror glasses are energized.
These electric heater grids produce heat to help clear
the rear window glass and outside rear view mirrors
of ice, snow, or fog. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
HEATED MIRRORS - DESCRIPTION) for more
information on this feature.
A driver side automatic dimming outside mirror
that dims the mirror to reduce the glare of bright
lights approaching the vehicle from behind, and a
memory system that automatically positions the
power mirrors for two different drivers are optionalfactory-installed equipment on this model. (Refer to 8
- ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/AUTOMATIC
DAY / NIGHT MIRROR - DESCRIPTION) for more
information. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
SEATS - DESCRIPTION) for more information.
This group covers the following components of the
power mirror system:
²Power mirrors
²Power mirror switch.
Certain functions and features of the power mirror
system rely upon resources shared with other elec-
tronic modules in the vehicle over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network.
The PCI data bus network allows the sharing of sen-
sor information. This helps to reduce wire harness
complexity, internal controller hardware, and compo-
nent sensor current loads. At the same time, this sys-
tem provides increased reliability, enhanced
diagnostics, and allows the addition of many new fea-
ture capabilities. For diagnosis of these electronic
modules or of the PCI data bus network, the use of a
DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures
manual are recommended.
The other electronic modules that may affect power
mirror system operation are as follows:
²Body Control Module (BCM)(Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/BODY CONTROL/CENTRAL TIMER MODUL
- DESCRIPTION) for more information.
²Driver Door Module (DDM)(Refer to 8 -

for more information.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
OPERATION
The Driver Door Module (DDM) and the Passenger
Door Module (PDM) each contain the power mirror
control logic for the mirror on its respective door. The
DDM also houses the power mirror switch. Each door
module controls the positioning of its respective out-
side mirror through hard wired outputs to that mir-
ror. When the power mirror switch on the DDM is
used to position the passenger side outside mirror,
the DDM sends mirror positioning messages to the
PDM over the Programmable Communications Inter-
face (PCI) data bus. The PDM responds to these mes-
sages by sending control outputs to move the
passenger side mirror accordingly.
Both the PDM and DDM respond to the defogger
switch status messages sent by the Body Control
Module (BCM) over the PCI data bus to control the
electric heater grids of their respective mirrors.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HEATED MIRRORS -
DESCRIPTION) for more information on this fea-
ture.
On models equipped with the optional memory sys-
tem, each door module also receives a hard wired
input from the two power mirror motor position
potentiometers that are integral to each power mir-
ror. Each door module then stores the Driver 1 and
Driver 2 mirror position information for its respective
mirror. When the DDM receives a Driver 1 or Driver
2 memory recall message from the memory switch on
the driver side front door trim panel or from the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) receiver in the PDM,
the DDM positions the driver side mirror and sends
a memory recall message back to the PDM over the
PCI data bus to position the passenger side mirror.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the power mirror system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER MIRRORS
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
hard wired components and circuits of the power mir-
ror system. However, these tests may not prove con-
clusive in the diagnosis of this system. In order toobtain conclusive testing of the power mirror system,
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
data bus network and all of the electronic modules
that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from the
power mirror system components must be checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the power mirror system requires the use of
a DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual. The DRB scan tool can provide confir-
mation that the PCI data bus is functional, that all
of the electronic modules are sending and receiving
the proper messages on the PCI data bus, that the
power mirror motors are being sent the proper hard
wired outputs, and that the mirror position potenti-
ometers are returning the proper outputs to the door
modules for them to perform their power mirror sys-
tem functions.
AUTOMATIC DAY/NIGHT
MIRROR
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - REAR VIEW MIRROR
An automatic day/night mirror system is an avail-
able factory-installed option on this model. The auto-
matic dimming inside day/night rear view mirror
system is a completely self-contained unit that
replaces the standard equipment inside rear view
mirror. This system will automatically change the
reflectance of the inside rear view mirror to protect
the driver from the unwanted headlight glare of
trailing vehicles while driving at night. The auto-
matic day/night inside mirror receives ignition
switched battery current through a fuse in the junc-
tion block, and will only operate when the ignition
switch is in the On position.
Vehicles equipped with the automatic day/night
mirror system are also available with an optional fac-
tory-installed automatic dimming outside rear view
mirror for the driver side of the vehicle. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/SIDEVIEW MIR-
ROR - DESCRIPTION) for more information on this
option.
The automatic day/night mirror sensitivity cannot
be repaired or adjusted. If any component of this unit
is faulty or damaged, the entire automatic day/night
inside rear view mirror unit must be replaced. Refer
to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring
information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire
and connector repair procedures, details of wire har-
ness routing and retention, connector pin-out infor-
mation and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.

DESCRIPTION - MEMORY SYSTEM
An electronic memory system is standard equip-
ment on the Limited model. The memory system is
able to store and recall the driver side power seat
positions (including the power recliner position), and
both outside power mirror positions for two drivers.
For vehicles with a radio connected to the Program-
mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus net-
work, the memory system is also able to store and
recall up to twenty - ten AM and ten FM - radio sta-
tion presets for two drivers. The memory system also
will store and recall the last station listened to for
each driver, even if it is not one of the twenty preset
stations.
The memory system will automatically return to
all of these settings when the corresponding num-
bered and color-coded button (Driver 1 - Black, or
Driver 2 - Gray) of the memory switch on the driver
side front door trim panel is depressed, or when the
doors are unlocked using the corresponding num-
bered and color-coded (Driver 1 - Black, or Driver 2 -
Gray) Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. A
customer programmable feature of the memory sys-
tem allows the RKE recall of memory features to be
disabled in cases where there are more than two
drivers of the vehicle.
The memory system also has a customer program-
mable easy exit feature that will move the driver
seat rearward 55 millimeters (two inches) or to the
end of its travel, whichever occurs first, when the key
is removed from the ignition switch lock cylinder.A Memory Seat Module (MSM) or Memory Heated
Seat Module (MHSM) are used on this model to con-
trol and integrate the many electronic functions and
features included in the memory system. On vehicles
equipped with the heated seat system option, the
MHSM also controls the functions and features of
that system.
The memory system includes the following compo-
nents:
²Memory seat module (or memory heated seat
module)
²Memory switch
²Position potentiometers on both outside power
mirrors
²Position potentiometers on the driver side power
seat track and power seat recliner motors.
²Radio receiver (if PCI data bus capable).
Certain functions and features of the memory sys-
tem rely upon resources shared with other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus network. The
PCI data bus network allows the sharing of sensor
information. This helps to reduce wire harness com-
plexity, internal controller hardware, and component
sensor current loads. At the same time, this system
provides increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics,
and allows the addition of many new feature capabil-
ities. For diagnosis of these electronic modules or of
the PCI data bus network, the use of a DRBtscan
tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual
are recommended.

POWER WINDOWS
DESCRIPTION
Power operated driver side and passenger side
front and rear door windows are standard factory-in-
stalled equipment on this model. The power window
system allows each of the door windows to be raised
or lowered electrically by operating a switch on the
trim panel for that door. Additionally, the master
switches on the driver side front door trim panel
allow all of the windows to be operated from the
driver seat position. A power window lockout switch
on the driver side front door trim panel will allow the
driver to disable all of the passenger door window
switches.
The power window system functionally operates
when the ignition switch is in the On position. How-
ever, a unique feature of this system will allow the
power windows to be operated for up to forty-five sec-
onds after the ignition switch is turned to the Off
position, or until a front door is opened, whichever
occurs first.
An auto-down feature allows the driver side front
door window to be lowered all the way, even if the
window switch is released. The driver side front door
window switch must be depressed in the down direc-
tion to a second detent to begin an auto-down event.
Depressing the switch again in any direction cancel
the auto-down event and begin movement in the
direction specified.
This group covers the following components of the
power window system:
²Power window switches
²Power window motors.
Certain functions and features of the power win-
dow system rely upon resources shared with other
electronic modules in the vehicle over the Program-mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus net-
work. The PCI data bus network allows the sharing
of sensor information. This helps to reduce wire har-
ness complexity, internal controller hardware, and
component sensor current loads. At the same time,

in the power window system.
WJPOWER WINDOWS 8N - 33

OPERATION
The power window system includes the Driver
Door Module (DDM) and Passenger Door Module
(PDM), which are mounted in their respective front
door, the rear door power window switches mounted
on the rear doors, and the power window motors
mounted to the window regulator in each door. The
DDM houses four master power window switches, the
power window lockout switch and the control logic for
the driver side front and rear door power windows.
The PDM houses the passenger side front door power
window switch and the control logic for the passenger
side front and rear door power windows.
When a master power window switch on the DDM
is used to operate a passenger side power window,
the DDM sends the window switch actuation mes-
sage to the PDM over the Programmable Communi-
cations Interface (PCI) data bus. The PDM responds
to these messages by sending control outputs to move
the passenger side power window motors. In addi-
tion, when the power window lockout switch in the
DDM is actuated to disable power window operation,
a lockout message is sent to the PDM over the PCI
data bus.
The Body Control Module (BCM) also supports and
controls certain features of the power window sys-
tem. The BCM receives a hard wired input from the
ignition switch. The programming in the BCM allows
it to process the information from this input and
send ignition switch status messages to the DDM
and the PDM over the PCI data bus. The DDM and
PDM use this information and hard wired inputs
from the front door ajar switches to control the light-
ing of the power window switch lamps, and to control
the operation of the power window after ignition-off
feature.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the power window system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER
WINDOWS
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
hard wired components and circuits of the power
window system. However, these tests may not prove
conclusive in the diagnosis of this system. In order to
obtain conclusive testing of the power window sys-
tem, the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network and all of the electronic mod-
ules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from
the power window system components must be
checked.The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the power window system requires the use
of a DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual. The DRB scan tool can provide confir-
mation that the PCI data bus is functional, that all
of the electronic modules are sending and receiving
the proper messages on the PCI data bus, and that
the power window motors are being sent the proper
hard wired outputs by the door modules for them to
perform their power window system functions.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appro-
priate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector
repair procedures, details of wire harness routing
and retention, connector pin-out information and
location views for the various wire harness connec-
tors, splices and grounds.

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-

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.
