DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
The key fob transmitter has three buttons to actu-
ate and program the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
system (Fig. 1).
²UNLOCK: Pressing the UNLOCK button once
will unlock the driver door and activate the illumi-
nated entry system and disarm Vehicle Theft Secu-
rity System, if equipped. Pressing the UNLOCK
button twice within five seconds will unlock all doors
and activate the illuminated entry system.
²LOCK: Pressing the LOCK button locks all
doors and sounds horn (chirp) and arm the Vehicle
Theft Security System. The chirp verifies the door
lock operation.
²PANIC: Pressing the PANIC button sounds the
horns at half second intervals, flashes the exterior
lamps, and turns ON the interior lamps. The panic
alarm will remain on for three minutes, or until the
PANIC button is actuated again or the ignition
switch is turned to the RUN position.
²The Remote Keyless Entry Module is capable of
retaining the transmitter Vehicle Access Code(s)
(VAC) in its memory even after vehicle power has
been interrupted.
²The RKE system activates the optional memory
seat and mirror system, if equipped. Two primary
key fob transmitters can be programmed to actuate
memory seat and mirror setting 1 or 2. Two addi-
tional key fob transmitters can be added, but they
will not be able to operate the memory seat and mir-
ror system. Refer to Group 8R, Power Seats and
Group 8T, Power Mirrors for memory system infor-
mation.
VEHICLE ACCESS CODE (VAC) PROGRAMMING
The RKE module is capable of retaining up to four
different Vehicle Access Codes. Whenever the vehicle
battery power is interrupted the RKE Module willretain all vehicle access codes in its memory. When
replacing or adding a key fob transmitter (maximum
4) a functional key fob transmitter is required to pro-
gram the RKE Module to accept the new Vehicle
Access Code. If a functional key fob transmitter is
not available, a scan tool (DRB) can be used to pro-
gram the RKE Module. Refer to the proper Body
Diagnostic Procedures manual for Vehicle Access
Code programming procedures using a scan tool.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Front door window lift motors use permanent type
magnets. The B+ and ground applied at the motor
terminal pins will cause the motor to rotate in one
direction. Reversing current through the motor ter-
minals will cause the motor to rotate in the opposite
direction.
The power window motors ground through the
master switch in the driver door (Fig. 1) by a black
wire attached to the left cowl panel. Refer to Group
8W, Wiring Diagrams from circuit information and
component locations.
The power rear vent windows, if equipped, are
operated by switches mounted in the driver door
switch bezel. A separate switch is used for each win-
dow. Permanent magnet type motors connected to a
crank system are used to open and close the rear
vent windows. A battery positive and negative con-
nection to either of the two motor terminals will
cause the motor to rotate in one direction. Reversing
current through these same two connections willcause the motor to rotate in the opposite direction.
Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams for circuit infor-
mation and component locations.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
POWER VENT WINDOW MOTOR TEST
If the power vent window motor is receiving proper
current and ground and does not operate proceed
with motor test. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams
for circuit information and component locations.
(1) Remove D-pillar trim panel necessary to gain
access to power vent window motor wire connector,
refer to Group 23, Body for proper procedures.
(2) Disconnect power vent window motor wire con-
nector from body harness.
(3) Using two jumper wires, connect one to a bat-
tery (+) source and the other to a good ground (-).
(4) Connect the Negative (-) jumper probe to one of
the motor connector terminals.
(5) Momentarily touch the Positive (+) jumper
probe to the other motor connector terminal.
When positive probe is connected the motor should
rotate in one direction to either move window open or
closed. If window is all the way open or closed the
motor will grunt and the crank system will flex when
actuated in that one direction.
Reverse jumper probes at the motor connector ter-
minals and window should now move in opposite
direction. If window does not move or grunt, replace
the motor.
If window moved completely open or closed, reverse
the jumper probes and cycle window to the opposite
position to verify full operation.
If motor grunts and does not move, verify that
crank system is not binding.

ulator is not binding.
WIRING VOLTAGE TEST
The following wiring test determines whether or
not voltage is continuous through the body harness
to switch.
(1) Remove the master power window switch and
bezel assembly from the driver door. Refer to Group
23, Body for proper procedures.
(2) Disconnect wire connector from back of power
window switch.
(3) Switch ignition ON position.
(4) Connect the clip end of a 12 volt test light to
Pin 13 in door harness connector at the window
switch. Touch the test light probe to Pin 9 and then
to Pin 11.
²If the test light illuminates, the wiring circuit
between the battery and switch is OK.
²If light does not illuminate, check the 40 amp
fuse in the Power Distribution Center or for a broken
wire.
²The power window motors are protected with
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) device that
prevents motor burn out. Check Junction Block.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
THERMOMETER AND COMPASS
THERMOMETER
Engine temperature can increase the displayed
temperature. The CMTC is designed to dampen tem-
perature readings when the vehicle is moving at a
rate slower than 18 miles per hour.
The outside temperature is measured from a sen-
sor mounted in the front of the vehicle. If the tem-
perature is more than 55ÉC (131ÉF) or the
temperature sending line is shorted to ground, the
temperature display should read SC. If the tempera-
ture is less than -40ÉC (-40ÉF), or the sending line is
an open circuit, the display should read OC.
The CMTC will not allow the temperature reading
to increase when the vehicle is not moving.
COMPASS
The CMTC is self calibrating and usually requires
no adjustment. The compass will continuously per-
form a slow calibration to compensate for small mag-
netic variations common to any automobile.
Uncommon magnetic shifts may be caused by items
such as magnetic base antennas, which can perma-
nently alter the magnetic field of the vehicle roof
panel. If excessive magnetic field continues for 5 min-
utes, the compass heading will go blank and only the
CAL symbol will illuminate. When this occurs, the
vehicle roof panel may require demagnetizing. Refer
to the demagnetizing procedure in this section.
Moderate magnetic shifts may, on very rare occa-
sions, cause the compass heading to display only one
or two of the eight possible headings. Although the
compass will eventually compensate for this shift, it
could take several ignition cycles. The compensation
process can be expedited by manually activating the
fast calibration routine. Refer to the fast calibrating
procedure in this section. This procedure may be per-formed anytime that the compass appears to be inac-
curate.
If the calibration data stored in the body control
module is not received, the compass will read only
NE North-East. The CMTC is self calibrating and
requires no adjusting. The word CAL is displayed to
show that the compass is in calibration mode. CAL
will turn off after the vehicle has gone through three
complete circles without stopping, in an area free of
magnetic disturbance. If module displays tempera-
ture while the compass is blank, turn off ignition and
run self diagnostics then demagnetize the vehicle.
After demagnetizing, check compass calibration num-
ber, refer to Self Diagnostic Test. If greater than 15,
demagnetize again until reading is less than 15. If
compass still goes blank after demagnetizing then
check internal diagnostics and demagnetize.
UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER
The Universal Transmitter, replaces the hand held
remote controls that open the garage door, motorized
gates, or home lighting in/outside the home. This
device memorizes the activator codes for up to three
remote controlled devices. It triggers those devices at
the push of a button, located in a unit permanently
mounted in your overhead console (if equipped).
The transmitter operates off your vehicle's battery
and charging system; no batteries are needed.
The Universal Transmitter incorporates a Rolling
Code technology (random digital code signals from
the remote transmitter) within the transmitter mod-
ule. This is done so, as an added security measure.
Features of the Universal Transmitter are:
²Can be used with most other Radio Frequency
(RF) activated devices.
²Individual channels can be trained.

TAKE OUTS
The abbreviation T/O is used in the component
location section to indicate a point in which the wir-
ing harness branches out to a component.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE
DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a
symbol (Fig. 4) is used to indicate this. When han-
dling any component with this symbol comply with
the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inad-
vertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume
that it is.
(1) Always touch a known good ground before han-
dling the part. This should be repeated while han-
dling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position,
or walking a distance.
(2) Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part,
unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.(3) When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the
ground lead first.
(4) Do not remove the part from its protective
packing until it is time to install the part.
(5) Before removing the part from its package,
ground the package to a known good ground on the
vehicle.
POSITIVE TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) devices are
being used for circuit protection. These PTC's act like
a solid state fuse. They are located in the junction
block, and are used to protect such items as: power
door lock motors, power windows, and various engine
solenoids.
A special symbol is used to identify these in the
wiring diagrams (Fig. 5).
