DOOR LOCK MOTOR
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DOOR LOCK
MOTOR
Verify battery condition before testing door lock
motor(s) (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY SYS-
TEM/BATTERY - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
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. In the event that
none of the motors work, the problem may be caused
by a shorted motor or a bad switch. Disconnecting
the defective motor will allow the others to work.
To test an individual door lock motor, disconnect
the electrical connector from the motor. To lock the
door, connect a 12 volt power source to the positivepin of the lock motor and a ground wire to the other
pin. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire har-
ness connectors, splices and grounds. To unlock the
door reverse the wire connections at the motor pin
terminals. If these results are NOT obtained, replace
the motor.

SPEED CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
The speed control system is electronically con-
trolled and vacuum operated. The electronic control
is integrated into the powertrain control module,
located on the driver's side under the speed control
servo. The controls are located on the steering wheel.
The ON, OFF, and SET buttons are located on the
left side of the airbag module. The RESUME,
ACCEL, CANCEL and COAST buttons are located on
the right side of the airbag module (Fig. 1).The system is designed to operate at speeds above
30 mph (48 km/h).
WARNING: THE USE OF SPEED CONTROL IS NOT
RECOMMENDED WHEN DRIVING CONDITIONS DO
NOT PERMIT MAINTAINING A CONSTANT SPEED,
SUCH AS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON ROADS THAT
ARE WINDING, ICY, SNOW COVERED, OR SLIP-
PERY.
OPERATION
When speed control is activated by depressing the
ON switch, the PCM allows a set speed to be stored
in RAM for speed control. To store a set speed,
depress the SET switch while the vehicle is moving
at a speed between 30 and 85 mph. In order for the
speed control to engage, the brakes cannot be
applied, nor can the gear selector be indicating the
transmission is in Park or Neutral. The speed control
can be disengaged manually by:
²Stepping on the brake pedal
²Depressing the OFF switch
²Depressing the CANCEL switch.
²Depressing the clutch pedal
NOTE: Turning the system off by depressing the
OFF switch or turning off the ignition switch will
erase the set speed stored in the PCM.
For added safety, the speed control system is pro-
grammed to disengage for any of the following condi-
tions:
²An indication of Park or Neutral

(8) Connect the throttle and speed control cable
ends to throttle body.
(9) Connect the negative battery cable.
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
There are two separate switch pods that operate
the speed control system and are located on the
steering wheel.
OPERATION
The speed control system has five separate resis-
tive switches that provide a single multiplexed
(MUX) voltage inputs to the PCM.The switch names
are: ON, OFF, SET, COAST, RESUME, ACCEL, TAP-
UP, COAST, and CANCEL. Based on conditions when
the buttons are pushed (and released), the five volt-
ages ranges provided to the PCM result in the follow-
ing functions: ON, OFF, SET, COAST, RESUME,
ACCEL, TAP-UP, COAST, and CANCEL. Refer to the
Speed Control Section for more information
Also the PCM receives an input from the brake
switch to sense whether the brake pedal has been
depressed. When the PCM receives the brake
depressed input, it turns off power to the speed con-
trol servo and disengages speed control.
The individual switches cannot be repaired. If one
switch fails, the entire switch module must be
replaced.
REMOVAL
The speed control switches are mounted in the
steering wheel and wired through the clock spring
device under the airbag module.
WARNING: IF REMOVAL OF AIRBAG MODULE IS
NECESSARY, REFER TO THE RESTRAINT SYS-
TEMS SECTION FOR MORE INFORMATION.

NOTE: The VTSS will not arm by pushing down the
door lock mechanism. This will manually override
the system.
For Door Cylinder Lock Switch Removal and
Installation, refer to Electrical, Power Locks, Door
Cylinder Lock Switch.
If the VTSS is triggered, the horn will pulse, head-
lamps/marker lamps will flash, and the VTSS warn-
ing lamp will flash. If BCM determines the threat to
be false and the VTSS is not triggered again, the sys-
tem will shut down and rearm itself after three min-
utes. If a trigger is still active, the alarm will
continue for an additional 15 minutes without the
horn. The VTSS monitoring portion of the system is
split into two sections. The engine compartment sec-
tion and the passenger compartment section. If a
malfunction occurs in the engine compartment sec-
tion, the passenger compartment section would still
arm and function normally.
NOTE: If hood is not secure during the arming
sequence, the lamp will stay lit and not flash. The
system will arm with hood not secured (hood ajar
switch closed) and the liftgate open (liftgate ajar
switch closed). System will not arm if passenger
compartment is not secure (all switches closed)
ARMING THE VTSS - METHOD A
(1) With the key removed from the ignition lock
and any door open (excluding liftgate), actuate one of
the following:
²Power door lock button to LOCK,
²Key fob LOCK button
²Door lock key cylinder to locked position.
(2) Close all opened doors. Liftgate can remain
open.
(3) After the last door is closed, an arming time-
out period of sixteen seconds will start, then the
VTSS will become armed.
ARMING THE VTSS - METHOD B
Actuating the key fob transmitter LOCK button,
key locking the front doors or liftgate with the doors
closed and the ignition locked will begin the arming
time-out period. If method A, 16 second time-out
sequence was in process when method B was actu-
ated, the 16 second time-out will restart from the
time of the second actuation.
If the security lamp does not illuminate at all upon
final door closure, it indicates that the system is not
arming.
The current VTSS status armed or disarmed shall
be maintained in memory to prevent battery discon-
nects from disarming the system.
TRIGGERING THE VTSS
After the VTSS is armed, the following actions will
trigger the alarm:
²Opening any door.
²Opening the hood
²Turning the ignition to the ON, ACC, or
UNLOCK position.
²Opening liftgate without first receiving a RKE
input or liftgate key input.
CAUTION: The VTSS indicator LED will trigger and
engine will continue to run if the vehicle is
equipped with SKIS and the proper key is used to
start the vehicle. This condition will occur if the
VTSS has been triggered. If valid key is used, VTSS
will disarm
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
The SKIS includes keys from the factory which are
pre-programmed. Each SKIM will recognize a maxi-
mum of eight Sentry Keys. If the customer would
like to own additional keys other than those provided
with the vehicle, they can be purchased from any
authorized dealer. These keys must be programmed
to the SKIM on the vehicle in order for the system to
recognize them as valid keys. This can be done by
the dealer with a DRB IIItscan tool or by a cus-
tomer if this feature is available in their market and
they have two (2) valid keys already available to
them. Refer to the Service Procedures portion of this
system for additional details. The SKIS performs a
self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position and will store Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC's) if a system malfunction is detected.
The SKIS can be diagnosed and any stored DTC's
can be retrieved using a DRB IIItscan tool as
described in the appropriate Body Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual.
