first turn) will cause all vehicle doors to unlock elec-
trically. When this feature is disabled, all vehicle
doors will be unlocked electrically upon the first turn
of a key cylinder to the UNLOCK position. The vehi-
cle is locked electrically by turning the key cylinder
to the LOCK position once, regardless of the state of
the double activation unlock feature.
POWER DOOR LOCKS
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Module actuates
the power door lock relays when a door lock switch is
activated. If the door lock switch is pressed for longer
than eight consecutive seconds, the RKE module will
de-energize the door lock motors.
The system includes the rolling door locking fea-
ture. The vehicle is shipped with the system enabled.
When the system is disabled the door locks will work
by use of the door lock switches and the Remote Key-
less Entry system only. When the rolling door lock
system is enabled, the RKE module will automati-
cally lock all the vehicle doors when all of the follow-
ing conditions are met:
²All doors are closed
²The vehicle speed exceeds 15 +/- 1 mph.
²The throttle position sensor tip-in is greater
than 10 +/- 2 degrees.
The RKE module will automatically re-lock all
doors if the above conditions are met and if any of
the doors become ajar and then closed again.
The enabling/disabling of the rolling door lock fea-
ture is customer programmable, as well as program-
mable with the DRB IIItscan tool.
The power lock motors are also equipped with a
thermal protection system which prevents the motors
from burning out. The motors may chatter if they are
continuously activated.
CHILD PROTECTION LOCKS
The child protection locks are on the rear doors
only. The lock, when engaged, will disable the inside
door handle from opening the door. The lock is part
of the latch/lock assembly. The lock is engaged by
moving a lever that is located on the rearward inside
edge of the door.
DOOR LOCK INHIBIT
With the key in the ignition switch and the driver
door open, the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Modulewill ignore the command to lock the power door locks
via the interior driver door lock switch. Once the key
is removed, or the driver door is closed, the RKE
module will allow the power door locks to lock via the
interior door lock switches.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DOOR LOCK MOTOR
(1) Make certain battery is in normal condition
and fuses powering the RKE module aren't blown
before circuits are tested.
(2) To determine which motor is faulty, check each
individual door for electrical lock and unlock or dis-
connect the motor connectors one at a time, while
operating the door lock switch.
(3) In the event that none of the motors work, the
problem maybe caused by a shorted motor, a bad
switch or a bad relay internal to the RKE module.
Disconnecting a defective motor will allow the others
to work.
(4) To test an individual door lock motor, discon-
nect the electrical connector from the motor.
(5) To lock the door, connect a 12 volt power source
to one pin of the lock motor and a ground wire to the
other pin.
(6) To unlock the door, reverse the wire connec-
tions at the motor pin terminals.
(7) If these results are NOT obtained, replace the
motor.
DOOR LOCK SWITCH
(1) Remove the switch from its mounting location,
and disconnect from vehicle wiring harness. Refer to
Door Lock Switch Removal and Installation in this
section.
(2) Using an ohmmeter, refer to Door Lock Switch
Resistance Test table to determine if switch resis-
tance is correct in the Lock and Unlock switch posi-
tions. Refer to Group 8W-Wiring Diagrams for
harness connector pin-outs.

The Sentry Key transponder cannot be repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
INDICATOR LAMP
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) uses
the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) indicator
LED to give an indication when the SKIS is faulty or
when the vehicle has been immobilized due to the
use of an invalid ignition key. The LED is controlled
by the instrument cluster circuitry based upon mes-
sages received from the Sentry Key Immobilizer
Module (SKIM) through the Body Control Module
(BCM) on the Programmable Communication Inter-
face (PCI) bus.
The SKIM sends messages to the instrument clus-
ter, via the BCM, to turn the LED on for about three
seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position as a bulb test. After completion of the bulb
test, the SKIM sends PCI bus messages to keep the
LED off for a duration of about one second. Then the
SKIM sends messages to the instrument cluster cir-
cuitry to turn the LED on or off based upon the
results of the SKIS self-tests. If the VTSS indicator
LED comes on and stays on after the bulb test, it
indicates that the SKIM has detected a system mal-
function and/or that the SKIS has become inopera-
tive. If the SKIM detects an invalid key when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON position, it sends
messages to the instrument cluster to flash the VTSS
indicator LED.
The SKIM can also send messages to the instru-
ment cluster to flash the LED and to generate a sin-
gle audible chime tone. These functions serve as an
indication to the customer that the SKIS has been
placed in its ªCustomer Learnº programming mode.
See Sentry Key Immobilizer System Transponder
Programming in this group for more information on
the ªCustomer Learnº programming mode.
The VTSS indicator LED uses a replaceable Light
Emitting Diode (LED) on the instrument cluster elec-
tronic circuit board. Refer to Group 8E - Instrument
Panel Systems for Cluster Lamp Removal and Instal-
lation. If the VTSS indicator LED comes on and
stays on after the bulb test function, diagnosis of the
SKIS should be performed with a DRB IIItscan tool
and the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures Manual.
TRIGGERING THE VTSS
After the VTSS is armed, any of the following will
trigger the system:
²Opening any door.
²Opening the hood.
²Removing the trunk lock cylinder.²Turning the ignition to the RUN/START position
with an invalid Sentry Key.
NOTE: The ignition switch can be turned to the
accessory position without triggering the alarm sys-
tem.

(4) Program the vehicle's VIN number into the
SKIM's memory.
(5) Program the country code into the SKIM's
memory (U. S.).
(6) Transfer the vehicle's unique Secret Key data
from the PCM. This process will require the SKIM to
be insecured access mode. The PIN number must
be entered into the DRB IIItbefore the SKIM will
entersecured access mode. Oncesecured access
modeis active, the SKIM will remain in that mode
for 60 seconds.
(7) Program all customer keys into the SKIM's
memory. This required that the SKIM be insecured
access modeThe SKIM will immediately exit
secured access modeafter each key is pro-
grammed.
NOTE: SECURED ACCESS MODE is not required to
query the programmed status of the key.
NOTE: If a PCM is replaced, the unique ªSecret
Keyº data must be transferred from the SKIM to the
PCM. This procedure requires the SKIM to be
placed in SECURED ACCESS MODE using the four
digit PIN code.
