DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
All doors can be locked or unlocked electrically by
operating the switch on either front door panel.
When the door lock switch is activated the Remote
Keyless Entry Module provides power to the door
lock motors through relays internal to the module.
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Module also con-
trols the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS).
All doors can be locked or unlocked mechanically
and independently with their respective locking
knobs. The front doors can also be unlocked by actu-
ation of the inside remote door handle.
The RKE Module has three modes of operation
including customer usage mode, dealer lot storage
mode, and shipping mode. The customer usage mode
provides full functionality of the module and is the
mode in which the RKE module should be operating
when used by the customer. Dealer lot storage mode
and shipping modes are reduced power modes meant
to extend vehicle battery life during shipping and
storage in the dealer lot. Dealer lot storage mode pro-
vides limited VTSS and power door lock functions,
but disables the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) func-
tions. This mode is intended to be used when the
vehicle is on the dealer lot to provide VTSS coverageof the vehicle while minimizing battery drain. Ship-
ping mode disables all normal functions (i.e. power
door locks, RKE, and VTSS) of the module, and is
intended to be used when the vehicle is shipped from
the assembly plant.
NOTE: The dealer must remove the module from
ªShip Modeº and place the RKE Module into either
the ªDealer Lotº storage or ªCustomer Usageº
modes of operation after receiving the vehicle from
the assembly plant. Refer to Group 8Q-Vehicle
Theft/Security Systems, Switching Operating
Modes/Configuring a New Module under Service
Procedures.
CENTRAL LOCKING/UNLOCKING
The door locks can be locked or unlocked electri-
cally via the exterior door key cylinders to provide
the central locking/unlocking feature. The central
locking/unlocking feature incorporates a customer
programmable ``Double activation unlockº feature
which operates in the following manner: When
enabled, the first turn of the key cylinder to the
UNLOCK position (toward the front of the vehicle)
will mechanically unlock the door whose key cylinder
is being turned. A second turn of the key cylinder to
the UNLOCK position (within five seconds of the
PLPOWER LOCK SYSTEMS 8P - 1
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.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
The system allows locking and unlocking of vehicle
door(s), deck lid release, and panic by remote control
using a hand held radio frequency transmitter (Fig.
1). The module must be in the customer usage mode
of operation for the remote keyless entry system to
function.
The receiver may receive signals from up to four
transmitters. Each transmitter has its own code, and
the code is programmed and stored into RKE module
memory. If a transmitter is replaced or additional
transmitters are added, the codes for all units have
to be reprogrammed into the RKE module memory. If
a receiver module is replaced, the transmitter codes
must be stored in the new receiver memory (by per-
forming the steps for programming transmitters).The RKE module is capable of retaining all transmit-
ter codes when power is removed from the module.
Operation of the Remote Keyless Entry system
works in a similar manner to the central locking/un-
locking feature. With the double activation unlock
feature enabled, the first press of the transmitter
UNLOCK button will electrically unlock the driver
door, and a second press of the UNLOCK button
(within five seconds of the first) will unlock all vehi-
cle doors. With the double activation feature dis-
abled, all vehicle doors will unlock upon the first
press of the transmitter UNLOCK button. The vehi-
cle is locked electrically by pressing the transmitter
LOCK button once, regardless of the state of the dou-
ble activation unlock feature. The vehicle is shipped
with the double activation unlock feature enabled.
The deck lid can be unlatched manually via the
key cylinder from outside the vehicle, or by depress-
ing the deck lid release button on the RKE transmit-
ter twice (within five seconds).
The RKE module has three modes of operation
including customer usage mode, dealer lot storage
mode, and shipping mode. The customer usage mode
provides full functionality of the module and is the
mode in which the RKE module should be operating
when used by the customer. Dealer lot storage mode
and shipping modes are reduced power modes meant
to extend vehicle battery life during shipping and
storage in the dealer lot. Dealer lot storage mode pro-
vides limited VTSS and power door lock functions,
but disables the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) func-
tions. This mode is intended to be used when the
vehicle is on the dealer lot to provide VTSS coverage
of the vehicle while minimizing battery drain. Ship-
ping mode disables all normal functions (i.e. power
door locks, RKE, and VTSS) of the module, and is
intended to be used when the vehicle is shipped from
the assembly plant.

NOTE: The dealer must remove the module from
ªShip Modeº and place the RKE Module into either
the ªDealer Lotº storage or ªCustomer Usageº
modes of operation after receiving the vehicle from
the assembly plant. Refer to Group 8Q-Vehicle
Theft/Security Systems, Switching Operating
Modes/Configuring a New Module under Service
Procedures.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
The system allows locking and unlock of vehicle
door(s) and deck lid by remote control using a hand
held radio frequency (RF) transmitter. The vehicle
speed must be less than five miles per hour before
the deck lid can be unlatched with the transmitter.
The receiver may receive signals from four transmit-
ters. Each transmitter has its own code and the code
has been stored in memory. If the transmitter is
replaced or other transmitters are added, the code for
each unit must be learned.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER
The transmitter has four buttons for operation
(Fig. 1). They are LOCK, UNLOCK, DECK LID
RELEASE, and PANIC.
²The UNLOCK button will unlock the driver door
and enable illuminated entry. Pushing and releasing
the button once will unlock the driver door. Pushing
and releasing the button two times within a five sec-
ond period will unlock all doors (double unlock acti-
vation enabled).
²Upon pressing the LOCK button, the horn will
sound a short chirp (if enabled) and flash the park
lamps to notify that the all door lock signal was
received and acted upon. Illuminated entry is can-
celled and the interior lamps are faded to off.
²Pushing and releasing the DECK LID
RELEASE button twice within a five second period
will actuate the decklid release solenoid, causing the
deck lid to be slightly ajar. If so desired, the decklid
may be set to release after one button push by the
dealer. For procedures on programming with the
DRB IIItscan tool, refer to the proper Body Diagnos-
tic Procedures Manual.
²Pushing the PANIC button will cause the panic
alarm to sound for three minutes, until the panic
button is pressed a second time, or until the vehicle
reaches a speed of 15 mph.
HORN CHIRP TOGGLE
Once the transmitters have been programmed, the
horn chirp can be enabled/disabled by sending the
horn chirp toggle operation code to the RKE Module.
This can be done using a DRB IIItscan tool or by
the customer. The horn chirp will enter the oppositestate of its current programmed state by receiving
this operation code. The RKE module is responsible
for keeping track of the horn chirp status.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
