(1) Remove the starter relay from the PDC. Refer
toStarter Relayin the Removal and Installation
section of this group for the procedures.
(2) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and
no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (elec-
tromagnet) should be 75   5 ohms. If OK, go to Step
4. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(4) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, perform the Relay Circuit Test that
follows. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
RELAY CIRCUIT TEST
(1) The relay common feed terminal cavity (30) is
connected to battery voltage and should be hot at all
times. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the open
circuit to the fuse in the PDC as required.
(2) The relay normally closed terminal (87A) is
connected to terminal 30 in the de-energized position,
but is not used for this application. Go to Step 3.
(3) The relay normally open terminal (87) is con-
nected to the common feed terminal (30) in the ener-
gized position. This terminal supplies battery voltage
to the starter solenoid field coils. There should be
continuity between the cavity for relay terminal 87
and the starter solenoid terminal at all times. If OK,
go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open circuit to the
starter solenoid as required.
(4) The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. It is energized when
the ignition switch is held in the Start position.
Check for battery voltage at the cavity for relay ter-
minal 86 with the ignition switch in the Start posi-tion, and no voltage when the ignition switch is
released to the On position. If OK, go to Step 5. If
not OK, check for an open or short circuit to the igni-
tion switch and repair, if required. If the circuit to
the ignition switch is OK, refer toIgnition Switch
and Key Lock Cylinderin the Diagnosis and Test-
ing section of Group 8D - Ignition System for testing
of the ignition switch.
(5) The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. It is grounded
through the park/neutral position switch only when
the gearshift selector lever is in the Park or Neutral
positions. Check for continuity to ground at the cav-
ity for relay terminal 85. If not OK, check for an
open or short circuit to the park/neutral position
switch and repair, if required. If the circuit to the
park/neutral position switch is OK, refer toPark/
Neutral Position Switchin the Diagnosis and
Testing section of Group 21 - Transmission for testing
of the park/neutral position switch.

²RETRAIN TIRE SENSORS?- This program-
mable feature only applies to vehicles equipped with
the optional tire pressure monitoring system. The
options include Yes and No. The default is No. When
Yes is selected and the menu button is depressed, the
EVIC will enter the training mode starting with the
left front tire.
²EASY EXIT SEAT?- This programmable fea-
ture only applies to vehicles equipped with the
optional memory system. The options include Yes and
No. The default is No. When Yes is selected, the
driver seat moves rearward about 55 millimeters
(two inches) or to the farthest rearward position,
whichever comes first, when the key is removed from
the ignition switch lock cylinder. This provides addi-
tional ease for exiting from the vehicle. The seat will
automatically return to the memory system setting
position when the Driver 1 or Driver 2 button of the
memory switch on the door panel is depressed or, if
theREMOTE LINKED TO MEMORYprogramma-
ble feature is enabled, when the RKE Unlock button
is depressed. While not automatic, an easy entry fea-
ture can be obtained by enabling theEASY EXIT
SEATfeature and disabling theREMOTE LINKED
TO MEMORYfeature. Then theEASY EXIT SEAT
feature will move the seat back, but the RKE unlock
event will not reposition the seat. Thus, the seat
remains positioned for easy entry, and the memory
switch on the door panel can be depressed after
entering the vehicle to return the seat to the desired
memory position.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS
DEMAGNETIZING
A degaussing tool (Special Tool 6029) is used to
demagnetize, or degauss, the overhead console for-
ward mounting screw and the roof panel above the
overhead console. Equivalent units must be rated as
continuous duty for 110/115 volts and 60 Hz. They
must also have a field strength of over 350 gauss at 7
millimeters (0.25 inch) beyond the tip of the probe.
To demagnetize the roof panel and the overhead
console forward mounting screw, proceed as follows:
(1) Be certain that the ignition switch is in the Off
position, before you begin the demagnetizing proce-
dure.
(2) Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical
outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61 centimeters
(2 feet) away from the compass unit.
(3) Slowly approach the head of the overhead con-
sole forward mounting screw with the degaussing
tool connected.
(4) Contact the head of the screw with the plastic
coated tip of the degaussing tool for about two sec-
onds.(5) With the degaussing tool still energized, slowly
back it away from the screw. When the tip of the tool
is at least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from the screw
head, disconnect the tool.
(6) Place a piece of paper approximately 22 by 28
centimeters (8.5 by 11 inches), oriented on the vehicle
lengthwise from front to rear, on the center line of
the roof at the windshield header (Fig. 3). The pur-
pose of the paper is to protect the roof panel from
scratches, and to define the area to be demagnetized.
(7) Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical
outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61 centimeters
(2 feet) away from the compass unit.
(8) Slowly approach the center line of the roof
panel at the windshield header, with the degaussing
tool connected.
(9) Contact the roof panel with the plastic coated
tip of the degaussing tool. Be sure that the template
is in place to avoid scratching the roof panel. Using a
slow, back-and-forth sweeping motion, and allowing
13 millimeters (0.50 inch) between passes, move the
tool at least 11 centimeters (4 inches) to each side of
the roof center line, and 28 centimeters (11 inches)
back from the windshield header.
(10) With the degaussing tool still energized,
slowly back it away from the roof panel. When the

²Ten-way power drivers and passenger seats
with Memory- This power seat option is standard
on Overland models and optional on Limited models.
This option includes a six-way adjustable seat cush-
ion track with power seat back recliners and power
lumbar supports. Heated Seats are standard with
this option.
Refer toHeated Seat Systemfor more informa-
tion on the heated seat option. Refer toMemory
Systemin the Memory System section of this group
for more information on the memory system.
The power seat system includes the following com-
ponents:
²Power lumbar adjuster (ten-way power seat
only)
²Power lumbar switch (ten-way power seat only)
²Power seat recliner (ten-way power seat only)
²Power seat switch
²Power seat track.
Refer toPower Seatin Wiring Diagrams for com-
plete circuit diagrams. Following are general descrip-
tions of the major components in the power seat/
memory seat system.
DESCRIPTION - MEMORY SYSTEM
An electronic memory system is standard equip-
ment on the Limited model. The memory system is
able to store and recall the driver side power seat
positions (including the power recliner position), and
both outside power mirror positions for two drivers.
For vehicles with a radio connected to the Program-
mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus net-
work, the memory system is also able to store and
recall up to twenty - ten AM and ten FM - radio sta-
tion presets for two drivers. The memory system also
will store and recall the last station listened to for
each driver, even if it is not one of the twenty preset
stations.
The memory system will automatically return to
all of these settings when the corresponding num-
bered and color-coded button (Driver 1 - Black, or
Driver 2 - Gray) of the memory switch on the driver
side front door trim panel is depressed, or when the
doors are unlocked using the corresponding num-
bered and color-coded (Driver 1 - Black, or Driver 2 -
Gray) Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. A
customer programmable feature of the memory sys-
tem allows the RKE recall of memory features to be
disabled in cases where there are more than two
drivers of the vehicle.
The memory system also has a customer program-
mable easy exit feature that will move the driver
seat rearward 55 millimeters (two inches) or to the
end of its travel, whichever occurs first, when the key
is removed from the ignition switch lock cylinder.A Memory Seat Module (MSM) or Memory Heated
Seat Module (MHSM) are used on this model to con-
trol and integrate the many electronic functions and
features included in the memory system. On vehicles
equipped with the heated seat system option, the
MHSM also controls the functions and features of
that system.
The memory system includes the following compo-
nents:
²Memory seat module (or memory heated seat
module)
²Memory switch
²Position potentiometers on both outside power
mirrors
²Position potentiometers on the driver side power
seat track and power seat recliner motors.
²Radio receiver (if PCI data bus capable).
Certain functions and features of the memory sys-
tem rely upon resources shared with other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus network. The
PCI data bus network allows the sharing of sensor
information. This helps to reduce wire harness com-
plexity, internal controller hardware, and component
sensor current loads. At the same time, this system
provides increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics,
and allows the addition of many new feature capabil-
ities. For diagnosis of these electronic modules or of
the PCI data bus network, the use of a DRBtscan
tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual
are recommended.
The other electronic modules that may affect mem-
ory system operation are as follows:

switch, or when the ªLockº button on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is depressed. The
powerlock switch will not initiate the pre-arming
sequence if the key is in the ignition switch. When
the VTA is pre-armed, the arming sequence is
delayed until all of the doors, the tailgate and the
flip-up glass are closed.
ARMING
Passive arming of the VTSS occurs when the vehi-
cle is exited with the key removed from the ignition
switch, the headlamps are turned off, and the doors
are locked while they are open using the power lock
switch. The power lock switch will not function if the
key is in the ignition switch or the headlamps are
turned on with the driver side front door open. The
VTSS will not arm if the driver side front door is
locked using the key in the lock cylinder or using the
mechanical lock button. Active arming of the VTSS
occurs when the ªLockº button on the Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) transmitter is depressed to lock the
vehicle, even if the doors and/or the liftgate are open
when the RKE transmitter Lock button is depressed.
However, the VTSS arming will not be complete until
all of the doors, the liftgate and the liftgate flip-up
glass are closed. On vehicles equipped with the hood
ajar switch, VTSS arming will complete if the hood is
open, but the underhood area will not be protected
unless the hood is closed when the VTSS is armed.
Following successful passive or active VTSS arm-
ing, the VTSS indicator on the top of the instrument
panel will flash rapidly for about sixteen seconds
after the illuminated entry system times out. This
indicates that VTSS arming is in progress. Once the
sixteen second arming function is successfully com-
pleted, the indicator will flash at a slower rate, indi-
cating that the VTSS is armed.
DISARMING
Passive disarming of the VTSS occurs when the
vehicle is unlocked using the key to unlock the driver
side front door. Active disarming of the VTSS occurs
when the vehicle is unlocked by depressing the
ªUnlockº button of the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter. Once the alarm has been activated,
either disarming method will also deactivate the
alarm. Depressing the ªPanicº button on the RKE
transmitter will also disarm the VTSS, but the horn
will continue to pulse and the exterior lamps will
continue to flash for about three minutes as part of
the Panic feature function. The Panic feature is over-
ridden if the ªPanicº button is depressed a second
time, or if a vehicle speed of about 24 kilometers-per-
hour (15 miles-per-hour) is attained.POWER-UP MODE
When the armed VTSS senses that the battery has
been disconnected and reconnected, it enters its pow-
er-up mode. In the power-up mode the alarm system
remains armed following a battery failure or discon-
nect. If the VTSS was armed prior to a battery dis-
connect or failure, the technician or vehicle operator
will have to actively or passively disarm the alarm
system after the battery is reconnected. The pow-
er-up mode will also apply if the battery goes dead
while the system is armed, and battery jump-starting
is then attempted. The VTSS will be armed until it is
actively or passively disarmed. If the VTSS is in the
disarmed mode prior to a battery disconnect or fail-
ure, it will remain disarmed after the battery is
reconnected or replaced, or if jump-starting is
attempted.
ALARM
The VTA alarm output varies by the version of the
VTA with which the vehicle is equipped. In all cases,
the alarm provides both visual and audible outputs;
however, the time intervals of these outputs vary by
the requirements of the market for which the vehicle
is manufactured. In all cases, the visual output will
be a flashing of the exterior lamps. For vehicles
equipped with North American or the base version of
the VTA, the audible output will be the pulsing of the
horn. For vehicles with the premium version of the
VTA, the audible output will be the cycling of the
siren. The inputs that will trigger the alarm include
the door ajar switch, the flip-up glass ajar switch,
and in vehicles built for certain markets where they
are required, the hood ajar switch and the Intrusion
Transceiver Module (ITM).
TAMPER ALERT
The VTSS tamper alert feature will sound the horn
(or the alarm siren for the premium version) three
times upon VTA disarming, if the alarm was trig-
gered and has since timed-out (about eighteen min-
utes). This feature alerts the vehicle operator that
the VTA alarm was activated while the vehicle was
unattended.
INTRUSION ALARM
The Intrusion Alarm is an exclusive feature of the
premium version of the VTA, which is only available
in certain markets, where it is required. When the
VTA is armed, a motion sensor in the Intrusion
Transceiver Module (ITM) monitors the interior of
the vehicle for movement. If motion is detected, the
ITM sends a message to the BCM over the PCI bus
to invoke the visual alarm feature, and sends a mes-
sage to the alarm siren over a dedicated serial bus to
invoke the audible alarm feature. The motion detec-
WJVEHICLE THEFT SECURITY 8Q - 3
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY (Continued)

The ITM microprocessor continuously monitors
inputs from its on-board motion sensor as well as
inputs from the BCM and the alarm siren module.
The ITM motion sensor transmits ultrasonic signals
into the vehicle cabin through a transmit transducer,
then listens to the returning signals as the bounce off
of objects in the vehicle interior. If an object is mov-
ing in the interior, a detection circuit in the ITM
senses this movement through the modulation of the
returning ultrasonic signals that occurs due to the
Doppler effect. The motion detect function of the ITM
can be disabled by depressing the ªLockº button on
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter three
times within fifteen seconds, while the security indi-
cator is still flashing rapidly or by cycling the key in
the driver door cylinder from the center to the lock
position. The ITM will signal the alarm siren module
to provide a single siren ªchirpº as an audible confir-
mation that the motion sensor function has been dis-
abled.
If movement is detected, the ITM sends an mes-
sage to the BCM over the PCI data bus to flash the
exterior lighting and send a message to the alarm
siren module over a dedicated serial bus line to
sound the siren. When the BCM detects a breach in
the perimeter protection through a door, tailgate,
flip-up glass, or hood ajar switch input, it sends an
message to the ITM and the ITM sends an message
to the BCM over the PCI data bus to flash the exte-
rior lighting and send a message to the alarm siren
module over a dedicated serial bus line to sound the
siren. The ITM also monitors inputs from the alarm
siren module for siren battery or siren input/output
circuit tamper alerts, and siren battery condition
alerts, then sets active and stored Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC) for any monitored system faults it
detects. An active fault only remains for the current
ignition switch cycle, while a stored fault causes a
DTC to be stored in memory by the ITM. If a fault
does not reoccur for fifty ignition cycles, the ITM will
automatically erase the stored DTC.
The ITM is connected to the vehicle electrical sys-
tem through the overhead wire harness. The ITM
receives battery voltage on a B(+) circuit through a
fuse in the Junction Block (JB), and is grounded to
the chassis at G303. These connections allow the
ITM to remain operational, regardless of the ignition
switch position. The hard wired inputs and outputs
for the ITM may be diagnosed and tested using con-
ventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However,
conventional diagnostic methods will not prove con-
clusive in the diagnosis of the ITM, the PCI data bus
network, or the electronic message inputs to and out-
puts from the ITM. The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the ITM, the PCI data
bus network, and the message inputs to and outputsfrom the ITM requires the use of a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) While pulling downward lightly on the rear cor-
ner of the Intrusion Transceiver Module (ITM) trim
cover, insert a small thin-bladed screwdriver through
each of the service holes on the rear edge of the trim
cover to release the two integral rear latch features
of the module from the mounting bracket above the
headliner (Fig. 7).
(3) Pull the ITM trim cover rearward far enough
to disengage the two front latch features of the mod-
ule from the mounting bracket above the headliner.
(4) Pull the ITM and trim cover down from the
headliner far enough to access and disconnect the
overhead wire harness connector for the ITM from
the module connector.
(5) Remove the ITM from the headliner.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the Intrusion Transceiver Module
(ITM) to the headliner.
(2) Reconnect the overhead wire harness connector

cluster circuitry that controls the lamp, (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNO-
SIS AND TESTING). If the instrument cluster turns
on the SKIS indicator lamp after the bulb test, either
solid or flashing, it indicates that a SKIS malfunction
has occurred or that the SKIS is inoperative. For
proper diagnosis of the SKIS, the PCI data bus, or
the message inputs to the instrument cluster that
control the SKIS indicator lamp, a DRBIIItscan tool
and the appropriate diagnostic information are
required.
TRANSPONDER KEY
DESCRIPTION
Each ignition key used in the Sentry Key Immobi-
lizer System (SKIS) has an integral transponder chip
(Fig. 10). Ignition keys with this feature can be
readily identified by a gray rubber cap molded onto
the head of the key, while conventional ignition keys
have a black molded rubber cap. The transponder
chip is concealed beneath the molded rubber cap,
where it is molded into the head of the metal key.
Each new Sentry Key has a unique transponder iden-
tification code permanently programmed into it by
the manufacturer. The Sentry Key transponder if
faulty or damaged, must be replaced.
OPERATION
When the ignition switch is turned to the On posi-
tion, the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM)communicates through its antenna with the Sentry
Key transponder using a Radio Frequency (RF) sig-
nal. The SKIM then waits for a RF response from the
transponder through the same antenna. The Sentry
Key transponder chip is within the range of the
SKIM transceiver antenna ring when it is inserted
into the ignition lock cylinder. The SKIM determines
whether a valid key is present in the ignition lock
cylinder based upon the response from the transpon-
der. If a valid key is detected, that fact is communi-
cated by the SKIM to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus, and the PCM allows the
engine to continue running. If the PCM receives an
invalid key message, or receives no message from the
SKIM over the PCI data bus, the engine will be dis-
abled after about two seconds of operation. The Elec-
troMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) will also
respond to the invalid key message on the PCI data
bus by flashing the SKIS indicator on and off.
Each Sentry Key has a unique transponder identi-
fication code permanently programmed into it by the
manufacturer. Likewise, the SKIM has a unique
Secret Key code programmed into it by the manufac-
turer. When a Sentry Key is programmed into the
memory of the SKIM, the SKIM stores the transpon-
der identification code from the Sentry Key, and the
Sentry Key learns the Secret Key code from the
SKIM. Once the Sentry Key learns the Secret Key
code of the SKIM, it is permanently stored in the
memory of the transponder. Therefore, once a Sentry
Key has been programmed to a particular vehicle, it
cannot be used on any other vehicle. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY -
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TRANSPONDER PRO-
GRAMMING).
VTSS INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) indica-
tor consists of a red Light-Emitting Diode that is
mounted and integral to the automatic headlamp
light sensor photo diode unit, which is located on the
top of the instrument panel. The remainder of the
housing including the mount and the electrical con-
nection are concealed beneath the instrument panel
top cover.
The VTSS indicator cannot be adjusted or repaired
the entire automatic headlamp light sensor/VTSS
indicator must be replaced. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
