2000 DODGE NEON Service Repair Manual

(3) After the ignition switch has been in the ON
position for about three seconds, but no more than
fifteen seconds, cycle the ignition switch back to the
OFF position. Replace the first valid Sentry Key in
the ignition lock cylinder with the second valid Sen-
try Key and turn the ignition switch back to the ON
position. Both operations must be performed within
15 seconds.
(4) About ten seconds after the completion of Step
3, the VTSS indicator LED will start to flash and a
single audible chime tone will sound to indicate that
the system has entered the ªCustomer Learnº pro-
gramming mode.
(5) Within about fifty seconds of entering the ªCus-
tomer Learnº programming mode, turn the ignition
switch to the OFF position, replace the valid Sentry
Key with a blank Sentry Key transponder, and turn
the ignition switch back to the ON position.
(6) About ten seconds after the completion of Step
5, a single audible chime tone will sound and the
VTSS indicator LED will stop flashing and stay on
solid for about three seconds to indicate that the
blank Sentry Key transponder has been successfully
programmed. The SKIS will immediately return to
normal system operation following exit from the
ªCustomer Learnº programming mode.
(7) Go back to Step 2 and repeat this process for
each additional Sentry Key transponder blank to be
programmed.
If any of the above steps is not completed in the
proper sequence, or within the allotted time, the
SKIS will automatically exit the ªCustomer Learnº
programming mode. The SKIS will also automatically
exit the ªCustomer Learnº programming mode if it
sees a non-blank Sentry Key transponder when it
should see a blank, if it has already programmed
eight valid Sentry Keys, or if the ignition switch is
turned to the OFF position for more than about fifty
seconds.
PROGRAMMING BLANK SENTRY KEY
TRANSPONDERS WITH A DRB lllTSCAN TOOL
When programming a blank Sentry Key transpon-
der, the key blank must first be cut to match the
ignition lock cylinder. It will also be necessary to
enter the vehicle's four digit PIN code into the DRB
IIItscan tool to enter the Sentry Key Immobilizer
Module's (SKIM's) secured access mode.
NOTE: Once a Sentry Key is programmed to a par-
ticular vehicle, it cannot be transferred to another
vehicle.
Insert the blank key into the ignition and turn it to
the RUN position. Using the DRB IIItscan tool,
select ªTheft Alarm,º then ªSKIM,º then ªMiscella-
neous.º Select ªProgram New Key.º Enter the fourdigit PIN code using the DRB IIIt. When program-
ming is completed, the SKIM will exit secured access
mode and display the status of the key. One of five
different status messages may be displayed as fol-
lows:
²ªProgramming Successfulº is displayed if SKIM
Sentry Key programming succeeds.
²ªLearned Key in Ignitionº is displayed if the key
in the ignition has already been programmed into
that vehicle's SKIM.
²ª8 Keys Already Learned (At The Maximum)
Programming Not Doneº is displayed if eight keys
have already been programmed into the SKIM. In
this case, if a new key needs to be added due to a
lost or defective key, the ªErase All Keysº function
(requires entering secured access mode) has to be
performed. Then the customer is seven keys plus the
new key MUST be reprogrammed into the SKIM.
²ªProgramming Not Attemptedº is displayed after
an ªErase All Keysº function is executed.
²ªProgramming Key Failedº is displayed if fur-
ther diagnosis is required.
²To learn additional keys, turn the ignition OFF,
remove the learned key, and insert the next new
blank key. Turn ignition to the RUN position and re-
enter the secured access mode function and repeat
the ªProgram New Keyº procedure outlined above.
SWITCHING OPERATING MODES/
CONFIGURING A NEW MODULE
To switch operating modes or to configure a new
module, a DRB IIItscan tool must be used.
(1) Hook up the DRB IIItscan tool to the Data
Link Connector (DLC) (Fig. 4).
(2) With the key in the ignition, turn the key to
the RUN position.
(3) After the DRB IIItscan tool initialization, per-
form the following:
(a) Select ªTheft Alarm.º
(b) Select ªVTSS.º
(c) Select ªMiscellaneous.º
(4) Once in the ªMiscellaneousº screen:
(a) If you wish to configure a new module, select
ªConfigure Module.º
(b) If you wish to put the module into customer
usage mode, select ªEnable VTSS.º
(c) If you wish to put the module into dealer lot
mode, select ªDealer Lot.º

WINDOW SWITCH........................2
WINDOW MOTOR.........................2
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
The window lift motors are of the permanent mag-
net type. A battery positive and negative connection
to either of the two motor terminals will cause the
motor to rotate in one direction. Reversing current
through these same two connections will cause the
motor to rotate in the opposite direction.
Each individual motor is grounded through the
master switch.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
WIRING TEST
The following wiring test determines whether or
not voltage is continuous through the body harness
to the power window switches.
Remove switch for testing. Connect a voltmeter
positive lead to Pin 4 and negative lead to Pin 3 of
the switch harness connector. Turn ignition switch to
the ON position. Voltmeter should read battery volt-
age. If OK, go to Window Switch Diagnosis and Test-
ing. If not OK, check the 30 amp circuit breaker in
the fuse block or for a broken wire. Refer to Group
8W-Wiring Diagrams, for Connector Pin-Outs and
circuit descriptions.
WINDOW SWITCH
Remove the switch from its mounting, refer to Win-
dow Switch Removal and Installation in this section.
Using an ohmmeter, test the window switch for con-
tinuity in all positions Refer to Power Window
Switch Continuity table to determine if continuity is
correct. If the results are not obtained, replace the
switch.
WINDOW MOTOR
(1) Remove door trim panel. Refer to Group
23-Body, Front Door Trim Panel Removal and Instal-
lation.
(2) Connect positive (+) lead from a test battery to
either of the two motor terminals.
(3) Connect negative (-) lead from test battery to
remaining motor terminal.
(4) The motor should now rotate in one direction to
either move window up or down.
(a) If window happens to already be in full UP
position and motor is connected so as to move it in
UP direction no movement will be observed.
(b) Likewise, motor connected to move window
in DOWN direction no movement will be observed
if window is already in full DOWN position.
(c) Reverse battery leads in Step 2 and Step 3
and window should now move. If window does not
move, remove motor. Refer to Window Motor
Removal and Installation in this section.
(5) If window moved completely up or down, the
test leads should be reversed one more time to com-
plete a full window travel inspection.

(6) If window does not move, check to make sure
that it is free to move.
(7) It is necessary that the window be free to slide
up and down in the glass channels. If the window is
not free to move up and down, the window lift motor
will not be able to move the glass.
(8) To determine if the glass is free, disconnect the
regulator from the glass lift plate and slide the win-
dow up and down by hand.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
WINDOW SWITCH
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative

(3) Disconnect wire connector from switch.
(4) Remove two switch retaining screws.
INSTALLATION
For installation, reverse the above procedures.
WINDOW MOTOR
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable (Fig. 1).

sible.
(3) Remove front door trim panel. Refer to Group
23-Body, Front Door Trim Panel Removal and Instal-
lation.
(4) Remove front door water shield.(5) Remove three screws to front door radio
speaker so that motor has room to pivot.
(6) Pivot window motor out of door panel.
(7) Remove three motor retaining screws to drive
cable.
(8) Remove motor from drive cable assembly.

POWER MIRROR ASSEMBLY................3
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
Electrically operated power mirrors are available
on all car lines. The mirrors are controlled by a sin-
gle switch assembly located on the driver's door trim
panel. The push button rocker switch uses L (left)
and R (right) for mirror selection and a button to
push for the desired direction of mirror movement.
The motors which operate the mirrors are part of
the mirror assembly and cannot be replaced sepa-
rately.
The Ignition Off Draw fuse is included in the
power mirror circuity and should be checked if the
mirrors are inoperative.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
MIRROR SWITCH TEST
(1) Remove power mirror switch from mounting
position. Refer to Mirror Switch Removal and Instal-
lation in this section.
(2) Using an ohmmeter, test for continuity between
the terminals of the switch as shown in the Mirror
Switch Continuity table.
(3) If test results are not obtained as shown in the
Mirror Switch Continuity table, replace the switch.
Refer to Group 8W-Wiring Diagrams for Connector
Pin-Outs and Circuit Diagrams.
