ANTI-THEFT (DWA) SYSTEM
The GM utilizes the following components to provide the DWA function:
• Door lock hall effect sensor contacts (door open/closed).
• Tailgate lid switch contact (monitored for closed tailgate).
• Hood switch (monitored for closed hood, located under the hood).
• DWA status LED (part of rear view mirror).
• Tilt sensor located in the electrical
carrier forward of the glove box (next
to GM)
• UIS Interior compartment monitoring
sensor (pre wiring in area of installa-
tion in center headliner).
• DWA siren (left cowl area next to mas-
ter cylinder).

HOOD CONTACT SWITCH
Located on the right side engine com-
partment, the hood contact switch pro-
vides a ground signal to the GM signifying
an open hood.
The plunger of this switch can be pulled
up past a detent causing the switch con-
tact to open. This feature can be used to
simulate a closed hood with the hood
open when diagnosing the DWA system.
DWA LED
The LED is provided with constant battery voltage (KL 30). The GM provides a switched
ground signal providing the various blinking signals used to convey DWA status to the vehi-
cle operator (covered further on).HOOD SWITCH
COMPONENTS
DOOR CONTACTS
As mentioned in the Central Locking Section, the door lock contact hall effect sensors pro-
vide status of door open/closed. The GM will activate the siren if a door open signal
becomes active when the DWA is armed.
TAILGATE SWITCH CONTACTS
The tailgate switch contact is located in the tailgate lock actuator assembly. When closed,
the tailgate contact provides a ground signal to the GM signifying a "closed tailgate". The
GM will activate the siren if the tailgate switch contact ground signal opens when the DWA
is armed.

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.

SLEEP MODE
To lower the constant battery draw when the vehicle is parked, The complete ZKE system
will go into the “Sleep Mode” 16 minutes after the ignition has been switched off and no
further ZKE function is active.
Approximate X5 Battery draw: • Ignition switch off = approx 750 mA.
• One minute after = approx. 560 mA.
• After 16 minutes (sleep mode) = approx. 18 mA.
All modules in the ZKE system will go into the sleep mode. The P-Bus remains active, how-
ever no data transfer takes place until a wake-up request is received. The general module,
door modules or keyless remote module can wake the system up and put the ZKE back
on line. The K-Bus is not active in the sleep mode, however the GM III of Remote Entry
Module can put the K-Bus back on-line with a wake-up request.
SLEEP MODE CRITERIA: KL R, 15 OFF and no further function activated for 16 minutes.
WAKE UP CRITERIA: KL R or 15 “ON” or a change in one of the signal states listed below.
