WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, REFER TO ELECTRICAL, RESTRAINTS,
WARNINGS, BEFORE ATTEMPTING COMPONENT
DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE
PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCI-
DENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
NOTE: The following tests may not prove conclu-
sive in the diagnosis of this system. The most reli-
able, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the
Sentry Key Immobilizer System involves the use of
a DRB IIITscan tool. Refer to the proper Body Diag-
nostic Procedures Manual.
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) and
the Programmable Communication Interface (PCI)
bus network should be diagnosed using a DRB IIIt
scan tool. The DRB IIItwill allow confirmation that
the PCI bus is functional, that the Sentry Key Immo-
bilizer Module (SKIM) is placing the proper messages
on the PCI bus, and that the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) is receiving the PCI bus messages.
Refer to the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures man-
ual, and Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit
descriptions and diagrams.
(1) Check the fuses in the Integrated Power Mod-
ule (IPM). If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the
shorted circuit or component as required and replace
the faulty fuse.
(2) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
remote cable from the remote terminal. Unplug the
wire harness connector at the SKIM. Check for con-
tinuity between the ground circuit cavity of the
SKIM wire harness connector and a good ground.
There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 3. If not
OK, repair the open circuit to ground as required.
(3) Connect the battery negative cable. Check for
battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of the
SKIM wire harness connector. If OK, go to Step 4. If
not OK, repair the open circuit to the fuse in the
IPM as required.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run/start) circuit cavity of the SKIM wire
harness connector. If OK, use a DRB IIItscan tool
and the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures manual
to complete the diagnosis of the SKIS. If not OK,
repair the open circuit to the fuse in the IPM as
required.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - VEHICLE THEFT

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

EXPORT
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Using a small flat blade screwdriver, pry trig-
ger switch from the bracket on the left fender well.
(3) Disconnect the hood ajar switch from the wire
connector and remove from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
(1) Connect the hood ajar switch to the wire conec-
tor.
(2) Press the hood ajar switch into position on the
bracket located on the left inner fender well.
(3) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
(4) Close the hood and check for proper operation.
TRANSPONDER KEY
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) uses a
transponder chip that is integral to each ignition key
(Fig. 1) to communicate with the Sentry Key Immo-
bilizer Module (SKIM). Ignition keys are supplied
with the vehicle when it is shipped from the factory.
The transponder chip is undermolded within the
head of the key. This undermold is hidden beneath
an overmolded rubber cap.
OPERATION
Each Sentry Key has a unique transponder identi-
fication code permanently programmed into it by the
manufacturer. Likewise, the SKIM has a unique
9Secret Key9code programmed into it by the manu-
facturer as well. When a Sentry Key is programmed
into the memory of the SKIM, the SKIM stores the
transponder identification code from the Sentry Key,
and the Sentry Key learns the9Secret Key9code from
the SKIM. Once the Sentry Key learns the9Secret
Key9code of the SKIM, it is also permanently pro-

OPERATION
FRONT WIPER/WASHER SYSTEM
The windshield washer circuit is protected by a 15
amp Cartridge Fuse located in the IPM. The wiper
motor has permanent magnetic fields. The speeds are
determined by current flow to the appropriate set of
brushes inside the motor. The current flow is con-
trolled by the multi-function switch. The high speed/
low speed relays are located in the IPM. The speed
sensitive intermittent wiper is controlled by the Body
Control Module (BCM). The intermittent mode, with
the vehicle traveling greater than 10.4 mph, has a
range of 0.5 to 18 seconds. With the vehicle traveling
less than 10.4 mph, the time delay doubles to a
range of 1 to 36 seconds. The wiper arms will park at
the base of the windshield just above the cowl cover
after the wiper switch is turned OFF.
The windshield wiper motor and linkage is located
in an integral wiper unit at the rear of the engine
compartment. The wiper unit must be removed to
gain access to the wiper motor.
REAR WIPER/WASHER SYSTEM
When continuous rear wiper operation is required,
the BCM will provide ignition ON voltage to the rear
wiper motor. When the wiper switch is turned OFF,
the BCM provides circuit ground to operate the
motor until the wipe cycle is complete and the wiper
arm returns to the base of the rear window.
When intermittent rear wiper mode is selected, the
wiper motor will cycle every 7 seconds. The intermit-
tent delay time is also adjusted based upon vehicle
speed. With the vehicle traveling greater than 50
mph, the cycle changes to every 5 seconds.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FRONT WIPER
SYSTEM
The windshield wiper system operates in several
modes:
²Low and high speed normal wipe
²Speed sensitive intermittent wipe
²Wipe after wash
²Park (switch OFF)
The windshield wiper circuits are continuously
monitored and controlled by the Body Control Mod-
ule (BCM). If a problem occurs in the electronic com-
ponents, wiring, switch (except integral motor park
switch) and wiper motor a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) will be stored in the BCM memory. DTC's can
be retrieved using a DRB IIItscan tool. Refer to the
proper Body Diagnostic Procedures manual for DTC
descriptions and retrieval information.The windshield wiper park switch and circuit is
monitored by the BCM. The park switch and circuit
can be tested using the Wiper System Diagnosis
table.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FRONT
WIPER/WASHER SWITCH
(1) Remove the multi-function switch (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/
MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH - REMOVAL).
(2) Using an ohmmeter check resistance readings
between switch pins. Refer to the WIPER/WASHER
SWITCH RESISTANCE table.
WIPER/WASHER SWITCH RESISTANCE
SWITCH POSITION RESISTANCE BETWEEN
OFF 1 AND 2 = 23.9KV 5%
DELAY POSITION
1ST 1 AND 2 = 7.9KV 5%
2ND 1 AND 2 = 4.6KV 5%
3RD 1 AND 2 = 2.9KV 5%
4TH 1 AND 2 = 1.9KV 5%
5TH 1 AND 2 = 1.3KV 5%
LOW 1 AND 2 = 670V 5%
HIGH 1 AND2=240V 5%
WASH 1 AND 4 = 5.9KV 5%
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FAILED PARK
SWITCH
If the wiper park switch has failed, the windshield
wipers will operate as follows:
²SWITCH OFF- Wipers stop in current location
regardless of the park signal.
²INTERMITTENT MODE- Wipers operate con-
tinuously or at low speed for one or more extra
wipes.
²LOW SPEED- Wipers operate at low speed.
²HIGH SPEED- Wipers operate at high speed.
²WIPE AFTER WASH- Wipers operate at low
speed in any mode setting. Wipers operate only while
the wash button is depressed with switch in the OFF
mode and wipers stop in mid-cycle when button is
released.
The windshield wiper park switch and circuit is
monitored by the BCM. The park switch and circuit
can be tested using the WIPER SYSTEM DIAGNO-
SIS table.
