manual sliding door. When the child lock out switch
is on, the B pillar switches are disabled.
There is only one part number for the power
sliding door module (PSDM). The driver sliding
door harness has an additional ground circuit which
will identify it as the driver side. This eliminates
the need for a left and a right side module.
3.18.2 DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES
The PSDM can be flashed on vehicle via PCI bus
with a DRBIIItdiagnostic tool. The DRBIIItcan
read all inputs, actuate all outputs, read module
information, and read diagnostic trouble codes. As a
reminder, some DTC's can be set during normal
PSD operation.
3.18.3 SYSTEM INHIBITORS
1. Battery voltage too high or too low (above 16V,
below 9.5V)
2. Vehicle in gear
3. Vehicle speed > 0 mph/km/h
4. Child locks enabled inhibit the B pillar switch
operation
5. O/H console lockout will inhibit the B pillar
switches
6. Doors locked will inhibit all interior switches
from opening (Overhead Console, B Pillar). A
locked sliding door can be power closed.
3.19 REAR WINDOW DEFOG/HEATED
MIRROR/FRONT WIPER DE-ICE
The defroster button located on the HVAC control
controls the rear window defogger, heated side view
mirrors and front wiper de-icer grid. In addition the
front wiper de-ice function is turned on when front
defog/defrost mode is selected.
When the defroster button is pushed, the HVAC
control sends a bus message over the PCI bus to the
Front Control Module (FCM) which controls the
Rear Window Defogger relay. The defroster LED
will illuminate when the defroster function is on.
The defroster will function for 10 minutes or can be
cycled off sooner by pressing the defroster button
again. The front wiper de-icer grid receives its 12
volts from the accessory relay through fuse 11 and
the HVAC control module supplies the grid ground.
3.20 VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
3.20.1 BASE ALARM SYSTEM
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) is part
of the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM
monitors the vehicle doors, liftgate, hood, and theignition for unauthorized operation. The alarm ac-
tivates by sounding the horn, flashing the head-
lamps and the VTSS indicator lamp. The VTSS does
not prevent engine operation, this is done with the
Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM). Passive
arming occurs in one of two ways. Upon normal
vehicle exit by removing the ignition key, opening
the driver door, locking the doors with the power
lock, and closing the driver door, or by removing the
ignition key, opening the driver door, closing the
driver door, and locking the doors with the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. The VTSS indi-
cator lamp will flash for approximately 15 seconds
during the arming process. If there is no interrup-
tion during the arming process, upon completion
the VTSS indicator lamp will flash at a slower rate.
When the BCM receives an input to trigger the
alarm, the BCM will control the outputs of the
headlamps, horn, and VTSS lamp for approxi-
mately 18 minutes.
Arming (Active and Passive)
Active arming occurs when the RKE transmitter
is used to lock the vehicle doors, whether the doors
are open or closed. The arming process is complete
only after all doors are closed.
Passive arming occurs when the ignition key is
removed, the driver door is opened, and the doors
are locked with the power door lock switch, and the
door is closed.
Disarming (Active and Passive)
Active disarming occurs when the RKE transmit-
ter is used to unlock the vehicle doors. This disarm-
ing will also halt the alarm once it has been acti-
vated.
Passive disarming occurs upon normal vehicle
entry (unlocking driver door with the key). This
disarming will also halt the alarm once it has been
activated.
Tamper Alert
The VTSS tamper alert will sound the horn three
times upon disarming to indicate a tamper condi-
tion has occurred.
Manual Override
The system will not arm if the doors are locked
using the manual lock control or if the locks are
actuated by an inside occupant after the doors are
closed.
Diagnosis
For complaints about the Vehicle Theft Alarm
triggering on its own, use the DRBIIItand read the
Last VTSS Cause status.
