DWA ARMING/DISARMING
• The DWA is armed every time the vehicle is locked from the outside with the door lock
cylinder or FZV key.
• The LED in the rear view mirror flashes as an acknowledgment along with the exterior
lights and a momentary chirp from the siren.
• The GM monitors all required input signals for closed status (door closed, tailgate
closed, etc.) The inputs must be in a closed status for a minimum of 3 seconds for the
GM to include them as an activation component. If after 3 seconds any input signal not
in the closed status is excluded (this is acknowledged by the DWA LED) preventing false
alarm activation's.
• If the DWA is armed a second time within 10 seconds, the tilt sensor and interior pro-
tection sensor are also excluded as alarm activation components. This function is use-
ful if the vehicle is transported on a train or flat bed truck to prevent false alarm activa-
tion's.
• While armed the tailgate can be opened with out the alarm being triggered as follows:
- If opened with the tailgate remote button via the FZV, the GM prevents the alarm
from activating. (This feature is customizable under the Car Memory function).
- If opened with the key at the tailgate lock cylinder the tailgate key position switch
signals the GM and in the same manner prevents the alarm from activating.
In either case, when the tailgate is returned to the closed position, it is no longer con-
sidered as an activation signal.
Panic Mode Operation: When the tailgate button is pressed and held, the GM is signaled
to activate the siren for the Panic Mode. The panic mode will function with either an armed
or disarmed DWA system.
EMERGENCY DISARMING
Emergency disarming occurs automatically if a key is used to turn the ignition switch on and
the EWS III accepts it. The EWS III signals the GM to unlock the doors and deactivate the
DWA.

ALARM INDICATION
When the alarm is triggered, the siren will sound for 30 seconds. At the same time the low
beam headlights and four way flashers will flash for 5 minutes. The GM signals the the LCM
III via the K bus -- I bus to flash the lights.
Following an alarm trigger, the system will reset and trigger again if further tampering is
done to the vehicle.

GENERAL FUNCTIONS OF ZKE III
CONSUMER CUT OFF
The interior lights are connected to the consumer cut out circuit. These consumers are con-
nected to KL 30 and can remain on if one of the control switches are left on. This would
prevent the ZKE from going into the sleep mode. However, the consumer cut off will switch
Kl 30, to the interior lighting, off after 16 minutes.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The seat and steering column motors are provided operating power through the consumer
cutoff / overload protection relay module as on the E38. The consumer cutoff signal from
the GM signals the relay to maintain operating power to the consumers.
If an overload condition exists, the relay module detects the increase in amperage and
opens the relay. The relay module is located in the electrical carrier forward of the glove
box.
