described in further detail elsewhere in this service
information:
²Combination Flasher
²Front Side Marker Lamps
²Hazard Warning Switch
²Turn Signal Cancel Cam
²Turn Signal Indicators
²Turn Signal Lamps
²Turn Signal Switch
The turn signal and hazard warning systems also
provide the following features:
²Flash Lights with Lock- This customer pro-
grammable feature flashes the hazard warning lamps
to provide optical verification that the Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) System has received a valid Lock or
Unlock request from an RKE transmitter. (Refer to 8
- ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS - DESCRIPTION -
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM).
²Panic Mode Optical Alert- This feature
flashes the hazard warning lamps to provide an opti-
cal alert when the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Sys-
tem panic mode is activated by depressing the Panic
button on an RKE transmitter. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/POWER LOCKS - DESCRIPTION -
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM).
²Turn Signal On Warning- This feature pro-
vides the vehicle operator with both visual and audi-
ble reminders when a turn signal has been left
turned on for an extended period. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-TRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE/ELECTRONIC
VEHICLE INFO CENTER - DESCRIPTION).
²Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) Opti-
cal Alarm- This feature flashes the hazard warning
lamps to provide an optical alarm when the VTSS is
armed and activated by an unauthorized entry into
the vehicle. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE
THEFT SECURITY - DESCRIPTION - VEHICLE
THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM).
OPERATION - TURN SIGNAL & HAZARD
WARNING SYSTEM
The turn signal system operates on battery current
received on a fused ignition switch output (run) cir-
cuit so that the turn signals will only operate with
the ignition switch in the On position. The hazard
warning system operates on non-switched battery
current received on a fused B(+) circuit so that the
hazard warning remains operational regardless of
the ignition switch position. When the turn signal
system is activated, the circuitry of the turn signal
switch and the combination flasher will cause the
selected (right or left) turn signal indicator, front
park/turn signal lamp, front side marker lamp and
rear tail/stop/turn signal lamp to flash on and off.
When the hazard warning system is activated, the
circuitry of the hazard warning switch and the com-
bination flasher will cause both the right side and
the left side turn signal indicators, front park/turn
signal lamps, front side marker lamps and rear tail/
stop/turn signal lamps to flash on and off.
The Body Control Module (BCM) can also activate
the hazard warning system lamps by energizing the
combination flasher through a single hard wired con-
nection to the hazard warning switch sense circuit.
The BCM grounds the circuit to energize and de-en-

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)

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.

SKIS INDICATOR LAMP
DESCRIPTION
A Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) indicator
lamp is standard equipment on all instrument clus-
ters, but is only functional on vehicles equipped with
the optional SKIS. The amber SKIS indicator lamp is
located to the right of the oil pressure gauge.
OPERATION
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) indica-
tor lamp gives an indication to the vehicle operator of
the status of the SKIS. This lamp is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon messages received by the cluster from
the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) over the
Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus. The SKIS indicator lamp bulb receives battery
current on the instrument cluster circuit board
through the fused ignition switch output (st-run) cir-
cuit whenever the ignition switch is in the On or
Start positions. The lamp bulb only illuminates when
it is provided a path to ground by the instrument
cluster transistor. The instrument cluster will turn
on the SKIS indicator lamp for the following reasons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position, the SKIM tells the cluster
to illuminate the lamp for about three seconds.
²SKIS Lamp-On Message- Each time the clus-
ter receives a SKIS lamp-on message from the SKIM,
the lamp will be illuminated. The lamp can be
flashed on and off, or illuminated solid, as dictated
by the message from the SKIM. For more informa-
tion on the SKIS and the SKIS lamp control param-
eters, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE THEFT
SECURITY - OPERATION - SENTRY KEY IMMO-
BILIZER SYSTEM). The lamp remains illuminated
until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from
the SKIM or until the ignition switch is turned to the
Off position, whichever occurs first.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the lamp will be turned on
for the duration of the test to confirm the functional-
ity of the lamp and the cluster.
The SKIM performs a self-test each time the igni-
tion switch is turned to the On position to decide
whether the system is in good operating condition.
The SKIM then sends a message to the instrument
cluster. If the SKIS indicator lamp fails to light dur-
ing the bulb test, replace the bulb. For further diag-
nosis of the SKIS indicator lamp or the instrument
