the A-pillar. The SKREEM receives radio messages
from the RKE transmitter (fob) and sends com-
mands via the RKE Interface circuit to the CTM. If
the vehicle is equipped with VTSS, the Security
System Module will be connected in series between
the SKREEM and the CTM.
Confirmation of the RKE Lock/Unlock state is
accomplished via the turn signals. When the vehicle
is locked via RKE the turn signals will flash three
times. When it is unlocked via RKE, the turn
signals will flash one time. If the vehicle has been
unlocked via RKE and no door is opened within 40
seconds, the entire vehicle will be locked again
automatically.
If a transmitter (fob) is operated more than 255
times in succession beyond the range of the receiver
(SKREEM), the RKE portion of the key will become
inoperative. In order to put it back in synchroniza-
tion it will be necessary to have ALL the other
transmitters that are used with this vehicle avail-
able and follow the following procedure:
1. Cycle the ignition on and off 2 times within 6
seconds (leave in off position).
2. Press the lock or unlock button of the disabled
transmitter within 3 seconds of turning the
ignition off.
3. Press any button (lock or unlock) 3 more times
within 6 seconds.
4. Wait 10 seconds.
5. Press any button of ALL other transmitters
belonging to this vehicle at least once within
the next 20 seconds.
For problems related to the Immobilizer function
of the SKREEM, see Service Information.
3.5.3 AUTO DOOR LOCKS
Whenever the engine is started, the CTM receives
a message to lock all doors except the drivers door.
This is accomplished through the D+ Relay. The D+
Relay is controlled by the Instrument Cluster which
receives a command from the ECM that the engine
is running. This relay supplies power to the CTM
(for auto locking), the daytime running lamps and
the rear window defogger.
3.5.4 ACCIDENT RESPONSE
The CTM is hardwired to the Airbag Control
Module through the Enhanced Accident Report
Driver circuit. Anytime the vehicle airbags are
deployed, the CTM will unlock all doors and a
9Crash9DTC will be stored in memory. The door
locks will be inoperative until that code is cleared. If
the vehicle is severly jarred, but not enough to
deploy the airbags, it is possible that the DTC could
be set and therefore the door locks would be inop-
erable. Whenever the door locks are not opera-tional, use the DRBIII and check DTC's . If the code
9ACM has unlocked the doors9appears, use the
DRBIII and erase it.
3.6 VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
(VTSS)
The Security System Module (SSM) is located
under the driver's seat. The SSM communicates
with the DRBIII over the K-line. If equipped the
Vehicle Theft Security System will monitor the
following:
²door jamb switches
²hood ajar switch
²ignition switch
²interior of the vehicle for movement
²longitudinal and transverse movement of the
vehicle
²rear defogger grids for glass breakage
²trailer connector
To arm the system the hood and all of the doors
must be closed when the vehicle is locked with the
RKE transmitter or with the use of the key in the
driver door. If the key is used, it must be held in the
lock position for 2 seconds. When the system is first
activated, the hazard lamps will flash 3 times. Also
with the system armed, the Towing/Intrusion Sen-
sor On/Off Switch indicator will flash to indicate an
armed system. To disarm the system use the RKE
or the driver door lock cylinder. Unlocking and
opening one of the other doors with the system
armed will trip the vehicle theft security system.
Interior monitoring is done by the use of an
Intrusion Sensor located in the front headliner and
with one or two sensors in the ceiling of the cargo
area depending on how the vehicle is equipped.
Monitoring of the interior of the vehicle will begin
after the system has been armed for 30 seconds. The
on/off switch located on the instrument panel can be
used to turn off this feature with the ignition switch
in either the Locked/Off or ACC position. The vehi-
cle tow-monitoring feature can also be switched off
using this switch. Re-locking the vehicle a second
time will reactivate these features.
If a trailer is connected to the vehicle when the
system is armed, the SSM will sense a resistance
change on the turn signal circuits if the trailer
harness becomes disconnected and will trip the
alarm.
Tripping the vehicle theft security system will
cause the hazard lamps to flash and the siren to
sound at 30-second intervals. The siren is equipped
with it's own self-contained battery. In the event the
vehicle's battery power is disconnected the siren
will continue to sound on it's own.

USING THE MULTIMETER. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
²Follow the vehicle manufacturer 's service speci-
fications at all times.
²Do not use the DRBIIItif it has been damaged.
²Do not use the test leads if the insulation is
damaged or if metal is exposed.
²To avoid electrical shock, do not touch the test
leads, tips, or the circuit being tested.
²Choose the proper range and functions for the
measurement. Do not try voltage or current mea-
surement that may exceed the rated capacity.
²Do not exceed the limits shown in the table below:
FUNCTION INPUT LIMIT
Volts 0 - 500 peak volts AC
0 - 500 volts DC
Ohms (Resistance)* 0 - 1.12 megaohms
Frequency Measure
Frequency Generated0-10kHz
Temperature -58 - +1100ÉF
-50 - +600ÉC
* Ohms cannot be measured if voltage is present.
Ohms can be measured only on a non-powered
circuit.± Voltage between any terminal and ground
must not exceed 500v DC or 500v peak AC.
± Use caution when measuring voltage above
25v DC or 25v AC.

4.3 WARNINGS
4.3.1 VEHICLE DAMAGE WARNINGS
Before disconnecting any control module, make
sure the ignition is ``off ''. Failure to do so could
damage the module.
When testing voltage or continuity at any control
module, use the terminal side (not the wire end) of
the connector. Do not probe a wire through the
insulation; this will damage it and eventually cause
it to fail because of corrosion. Be careful when
performing electrical tests so as to prevent acciden-
tal shorting of terminals. Such mistakes can dam-
age fuses or components. Also, a second code could
be set, making diagnosis of the original problem
more difficult.
4.3.2 ROAD TESTING A COMPLAINT
VEHICLE
Some complaints will require a test drive as part
of the repair verification procedure. The purpose of
the test drive is to try to duplicate the diagnostic
code or symptom condition.
