GENERAL INFORMATION
AA-BODY
The Illuminated Entry System (on AA Body) actu-
ates the interior courtesy and/or dome lamps (except
for the illuminated ignition switch) by lifting either
front door exterior handle. Lamp illumination is terminated 35 seconds ( 68
seconds later when battery voltage is normal), or by
turning the ignition switch to the run position,
whichever occurs first. When testing the system, all
vehicle doors must be closed to prevent the door jam
switches from activating the courtesy/dome lamps. Front door handle switches (Fig. 1), and the Illumi-
nated Entry Module (located behind and above the
glove box (Fig. 2) are used to control the system.
Depending on vehicle options, as many as six dif-
ferent electrical components/relays are located above
the glove box. The Illuminated Entry Module will be
the one mounted the closest to the outside of the in-
strument panel. The Module bracket is also used to
commonly mount the Power Door Lock Inhibitor Re-
lay, if equipped. Service procedures for door related components can
be found in Group 23, Body.
AC, AG, AJ OR AY BODY
The Illuminated Entry System (AC, AG, AJ or AY
Body) actuates the interior courtesy and/or dome lamps (except illuminated ignition switch) by lifting
either front door exterior handle. Activation can also
be accomplished with the remote keyless entry sys-
tems hand held module, if equipped. Lamp illumination is terminated 30 seconds ( 62
seconds) later, or by turning the ignition switch to
the run position, whichever occurs first. When test-
ing this system, all vehicle doors must be closed to
prevent the operation of the courtesy/dome lamps. Front door handle switches (Fig. 1), and the Body
Controller (Fig . 3 ) are used to control the system.
Service procedures for door related components can
be found in Group 23, Body.

SERVICE OF DEPLOYED AIR BAG MODULE
After an air bag has been deployed, the air bag
module and clockspring must be replaced because
they cannot be reused. Other air bag system compo-
nents are replaced if damaged.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE INSPECTION
Vehicles equipped with a Air Bag System must be
inspected every three years or 30,000 miles / 48,000
Km. The following items should be inspected. (1) Inspect components for damage or deteriora-
tion. (a) If the air bag module housing shows signs of
physical damage or abuse, replace the module. (b) Check that both front impact sensors are
properly installed to the upper crossmember of the
radiator closure panel. Repair as required.
(2) Check the air bag warning lamp for proper op-
eration as follows: (a) Turn ignition switch to the ON position, the
air bag warning lamp should light. If not, test the system using the DRB II and Passive Restraint
System Diagnostic Procedures Manual. Repair as
required.
(b) The air bag warning lamp lights, but fails to go
out after ten seconds. Test the system using the DRB
II and Passive Restraint System Diagnostic Proce-
dures Manual. Repair as required. (c) Erasing of fault codes is not required.
AIR BAG SYSTEM CHECK
WARNING: BEFORE BEGINNING ANY AIR BAG SYS-
TEM CHECK PROCEDURES, REMOVE AND ISOLATE
THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (-) CABLE (GROUND)
FROM THE VEHICLE BATTERY. THIS IS THE ONLY
SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM.
FAILURE TO DO THIS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDEN-
TAL AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PER-
SONAL INJURY.
WHEN AN UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY IS
TO BE REMOVED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL,
DISCONNECT BATTERY GROUND CABLE AND
ISOLATE. ALLOW SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DIS-
CHARGE FOR TWO MINUTES, THEN BEGIN AIR
BAG REMOVAL. (1) Disconnect the battery negative cable and iso-
late. (2) Remove forward console or cover as necessary.
(3) Connect DRB II to ASDM diagnostic 6-way con-
nector, located at right side of module. (4) Turn the ignition key to ON position. Exit vehicle
with DRB II. Use the latest version of the proper
cartridge. (5) After checking that no one is inside the vehicle,
connect the negative battery cable. (6) Using the DRB II, read and record active fault
data. (7) Read and record any stored faults.
(8) Refer to the Passive Restraint Diagnostic Test
Manual if any faults are found in steps 6 and 7. (9) Erase stored faults if there are no active fault
codes. If problems remain, fault codes will not erase. (10) With the ignition key in the ON position, make
sure no one is in the vehicle. (11) From the passenger side of vehicle, turn the
ignition key to OFF then ON and observe the instru-
ment cluster air bag lamp. It should go on for 6 to 8
seconds, then go out; indicating system is functioning
normally. If air bag warning lamp either fails to light,
blinks on and off or goes on and stays on, there is
a system malfunction. Refer to the Passive Re-
straint Diagnostic Test Manual to diagnose the
problem.

GENERAL INFORMATION
All doors can be locked or unlocked electrically by
operating the switch on a front door panel or arm
rest. The rear doors can be locked or unlocked by actu-
ation of the front door switch, or can be locked or un-
locked mechanically and independently with their
respective locking knobs. The front doors can be locked or unlocked mechan-
ically with the locking knob regardless of electrical
locking and unlocking actuation with the front door
knobs. The right and left front door on all car lines can be
locked or unlocked mechanically from the outside
with the key or electrically as described above. The
left front can also be unlocked by actuation of the in-
side remote door handle. The right front door on AC,
AG, AJ and AY can be unlocked by actuation of the
inside remote door handle. The deck lid lock consists of a latch with internal
solenoid and push button switch. The solenoid is en-
ergized only when the push button is depressed.
DOOR LOCK INHIBIT
The power door lock inhibit system prevents the
doors from being locked using the power door locks
when either of two conditions occur: (1) The key is in the ignition switch and any of the
doors are open. The ignition switch does not have to
be ON. (2) The key is in the ignition switch and the head-
lamp are on.
KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
The system allows locking and unlocking of vehicle
door(s) and Trunk lid by remote control using a hand
held radio transmitter. The ignition switch must be
OFF before the trunk lid can be unlocked with the
transmitter. The receiver may receive signals from two trans-
mitters. Each transmitter has its own code, and the
code has been stored in memory. If the transmitter is
replaced or a second transmitter is add, the code on
both units have to be placed in memory.
CIRCUIT BREAKER TEST
Find correct circuit breaker on fuse block. Pull out
slightly but be sure that circuit breaker terminals
still contact terminals in fuse block. Connect ground
wire of voltmeter to a good ground. With probe of
voltmeter positive wire, check both terminals of cir-
cuit breaker for 12 volts. If only one terminal checks
at 12 volts, circuit breaker is defective and must be
replaced. If neither terminal shows 12 volts, check
for open or shorted circuit to circuit breaker.
WIRING VOLTAGE TEST
The following wiring test sequence determines
whether or not voltage is continuous through the
body harness to switch. (1) Remove left side switch from trim panel.
(2) Carefully separate multiple terminal block on
wiring harness from switch body. (3) Connect one lead of test light to a ground ter-
minal:
² Black Wire AA and AC Bodies
² Gray wire AG and AJ Bodies
² Touch other test light lead to Red Wire terminal.
² If test light comes on, the wiring circuit between
the battery and switch is functional.
² If test light does not come on, check 30 amp circuit
breaker or for a open circuit.
SWITCH TEST
Remove the switch from its mounting location. Us-
ing an ohmmeter, refer to (Fig. 1) to determine if
continuity is correct in the Lock and Unlock switch
positions. If these results are not obtained, replace
the switch.

GENERAL INFORMATION
JUMP-STARTING, VEHICLE EQUIPPED
WITH THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM . After the
booster battery has been connected, the Theft System
must be turned OFF. Using the key, lock then un-
lock either front door. This turns the Theft System
OFF and the remainder of the Jump-Starting proce-
dure can be followed. If this procedure is not followed, the Theft System
electronics will prevent the engine from starting. If a new Powertrain Control Module is installed,
the engine has to be cranked 20 times before the
alarm system activated. This passive system is designed to protect against
whole vehicle theft. The system monitors vehicle
doors, hood, trunk key cylinder, and ignition action
for unauthorized operation. The alarm activates by
sounding the horn, flashing the park and tail lamps,
and providing an engine kill feature (Fig. 1). Passive arming occurs upon normal vehicle exit,
open door, lock with power locks, close door. The SET
lamp in the panel will flash for 15 seconds, indicat-
ing that arming is in progress. If no monitored sys-
tems are activated during this period, the system
will arm. If the hood or trunk key cylinder switches
are not sensed by the system. The SET lamp will re-
main lit during the arming process, although the sys-
tem will still arm. The system is to be considered as
an active armed system when using the Remote Key-
less Entry. If the SET lamp does not illuminate at all
upon door closing it indicates that the system is not
arming. Passive disarming occurs upon normal vehicle en-
try unlocking either door with the key, or unlocking
using the Remote Keyless transmitter. This disarm-
ing will also halt the alarm once it has been acti-
vated. Whenever the battery is disconnected and recon-
nected, the Vehicle Theft Security System enters
power up alarm mode which flashes the park and tail
lamps and prevents the engine from running. To exit
this mode, the system must be disarmed as men-
tioned above. A tamper alert exists to notify the driver that the
alarm had been activated, and the alarm has since
timed-out for more than 18 minutes. This alert con-
sists of 3 horn pulses when the vehicle is disarmed. The alarm system will not arm if the doors are
manually locked, providing a manual override of the
alarm.
WHAT WILL TRIGGER THE SYSTEM
One of the following actions will trigger the system
while it is armed. Without properly disarming sys-
tem, by using the key or the remote transmitter. (1) Opening the HOOD.
(2) Opening any DOOR.
(3) Removing the TRUNK KEY CYLINDER.
(4) Turning the IGNITION ON.
(5) The ignition switch can be turned to the acces-
sory position without triggering alarm system.
SYSTEM SELF-TESTS
A diagnostics mode is available in the system to
verify operation of all monitored switches or circuits.
To enter diagnostics, cycle the ignition key to the ac-
cessory position 3 times, leaving the key in this po-
sition. Upon entering diagnostics, the park and tail lamps
will begin flashing to verify their operation. In addi-
tion, the horn will sound twice to indicate that the
trunk key cylinder is in its proper position. Return-
ing the ignition to the OFF position will stop the
lamps from flashing while keeping the system in di-
agnostics. While in diagnostics mode, a horn pulse should oc-
cur at each of the following events indicating proper
operation: (1) Beginning with all doors closed, open then close
each door. The horn will sound when the door ajar
switch closes, and then again when the switch opens.
There must b e a 1 second delay between closing and
opening the switch. (2) Open, then close the hood. The horn will sound
when the hood is opened, and again when it is closed.
Ä VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM 8Q - 1

(3) Activate the power door locks in both the
LOCK and UNLOCK directions. The horn will sound
after each activation. (4) Rotate the key in each of the door lock cylin-
ders to the unlock position. The horn will sound as
the switch closes, and again when it opens. There
must b e a 1 second delay between changing switch
states, or the horn will not sound.
² Press the LOCK button,horn will sound.
² Press the UNLOCK button, horn will sound.
(5) Cycle the key to the ignition RUN position. A
single horn pulse will indicate proper operation of
the ignition input. This will also take the module out
of the diagnostics mode. For any of these tests, if the
switch does not remain open or closed for at least 1
second, the horn will only sound once. The lack of a horn pulse, during any operation, in-
dicates a switch failure. Check for continuity at the
switch, if this is good, check for an open or shorted
wire between the switch and alarm module. Also,
check if a new powertrain control module has been
installed recently. Vehicle Theft Security System will
not function until 20 engine cranks. Whenever a Vehicle Theft Security System mal-
function occurs, first verify that the wire harness is
properly connected to all connectors before starting
normal diagnosis and repair procedures. Refer to Ve-
hicle Theft Security System Diagnosis Chart (Fig. 3).VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM MODULE
REPLACEMENT
If the Vehicle Theft Security System module is be-
ing removed and no replacement module is being in-
stalled, the module wiring must be disconnected
while the engine is running. Failure to do so will
cause a no-start condition (Fig. 3 and 4). (1) Remove lower right instrument panel silencer.
(2) Remove glove box assembly.
(3) Remove three attaching screws mounting the
bracket to instrument panel. (4) Lower bracket and module assembly, to discon-
nect wire connectors. (5) Remove the Remote keyless module so to have
