tion feature of the ITM can be disabled by depressing
the ªLockº button on the RKE transmitter three
times or cycling the key in the driver door cylinder
from the center to lock position within fifteen seconds
during VTA arming, while the security indicator is
still flashing rapidly. The VTA provides a single short
siren ªchirpº as an audible conformation that the
motion detect disable request has been received. The
ITM must be electronically enabled in order for the
intrusion alarm to perform as designed. The intru-
sion alarm function of the ITM is enabled on vehicles
equipped with this option at the factory, but a service
replacement ITM must be configured and enabled by
the dealer using the DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.
OPERATION - SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) is
designed to provide passive protection against unau-
thorized vehicle use by disabling the engine after
about two seconds of running, whenever any method
other than a valid Sentry Key is used to start the
vehicle. The SKIS is considered a passive protection
system because it is always active when the ignition
system is energized and does not require any cus-
tomer intervention. The SKIS uses Radio Frequency
(RF) communication to obtain confirmation that the
key in the ignition switch is a valid key for operating
the vehicle. The microprocessor-based SKIS hard-
ware and software also uses messages to communi-
cate with other modules in the vehicle over the
Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CON-
TROL MODULES/COMMUNICATION - OPERA-
TION).
Pre-programmed Sentry Key transponders are pro-
vided with the vehicle from the factory. Each Sentry
Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) will recognize a
maximum of eight Sentry Keys. If the customer
would like additional keys other than those provided
with the vehicle, they may be purchased from any
authorized dealer. These additional keys must be pro-
grammed to the SKIM in the vehicle in order for the
system to recognize them as valid keys. This can be
done by the dealer using a DRBIIItscan tool or, if
Customer Learn programming is an available SKIS
feature in the market where the vehicle was pur-
chased, the customer can program the additional
keys, as long as at least two valid Sentry Keys are
already available. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHI-
CLE THEFT SECURITY - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE - TRANSPONDER PROGRAMMING).
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the igni-
tion switch is turned to the On position, and will
store fault information in the form of DiagnosticTrouble Codes (DTC's) if a system malfunction is
detected. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic informa-
tion.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - VEHICLE THEFT
SECURITY SYSTEM
The VTSS-related hard wired inputs to and out-
puts from the Body Control Module (BCM), the
Driver Door Module (DDM), or the Passenger Door
Module (PDM) may be diagnosed and tested using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer
to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the BCM, the
DDM, the PDM, or the Programmable Communica-
tions Interface (PCI) data bus network. In order to
obtain conclusive testing of the VTSS, the BCM, the
DDM, the PDM, and the PCI data bus network must
also be checked. The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the VTSS requires the
use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diag-
nostic information.

HOOD AJAR SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The hood ajar switch is a self-adjusting, normally
closed, single pole, double throw momentary switch
that is used only on vehicles built for sale in certain
international markets where it is required equipment
(Fig. 3). The mounting bracket is fastened to the left
inner fender. A molded plastic striker with three inte-
gral retainers is secured to the underside of the hood
panel inner reinforcement to actuate the switch
plunger as the hood panel is closed.The switchreceives a path to ground through the left inner
fender shield in the engine compartment.
The hood ajar switch adjusts itself as the striker
pushes the switch body down through the switch
when the hood panel is closed after the initial instal-
lation. This self-adjustment feature is only functional
the first time the hood is closed following installa-
tion. If the switch requires adjustment following the
initial installation, the switch must be replaced.
OPERATION
The normally closed hood ajar switch is normally
held open when the hood panel is closed and latched.
When the hood is opened, the switch plunger extends
from the switch body and the switch contacts are
closed. The hood ajar switch is connected in series
between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input
of the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM uses
an internal resistor pull up to monitor the state of
the hood ajar switch contacts. The hood ajar switch
can be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools
and methods.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HOOD AJAR
SWITCH
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative
hood ajar switch. If the problem being diagnosed is
related to hood ajar switch accuracy, be certain to
confirm that the problem is not an improperly
adjusted hood ajar switch. If no hood ajar switch
adjustment problem is found, the following procedure
will help to locate a short or open in the hood ajar

INTRUSION TRANSCEIVER
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
An Intrusion Transceiver Module (ITM) is part of
the premium version of the Vehicle Theft Alarm
(VTA) in the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS)
(Fig. 5). The premium version of the VTA is only
available in vehicles built for certain markets, where
the additional features offered by this system are
required. The ITM is located in the passenger com-
partment. This unit is designed to provide interior
motion detection, and serve as an interface between
the Body Control Module (BCM) and the alarm siren
module.
The ITM is concealed beneath a dedicated molded
plastic trim cover that approximates the size and
shape of a typical dome lamp housing. However,
rather than a lens, the ITM features three sets of
louvered openings. One set of louvered openings is
located at each outboard end of the center rib, while
the third set is centered. Each of the louvered open-
ings is covered on the inside by a sight shield thatextends the length of the center rib. The module is
secured to a mounting bracket above the headliner
(Fig. 6).
Concealed within the housing is the circuitry of the
ITM which includes a microprocessor, and an ultra-
sonic receive transducer. Both the transmit trans-
ducer on the right side of the module and the receive
transducer on the ITM circuit board are aimed
through two small round holes in the sight shield of
the trim cover. The ITM is connected to the vehicle
electrical system by a take out and connector of the
overhead wire harness that is integral to the head-
liner.
The ITM unit cannot be adjusted or repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. The ITM is
serviced as a unit with the trim cover.
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Intrusion Transceiver
Module (ITM) contains the motion sensor logic cir-
cuits and controls all of the features of the premium
version of the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA). The ITM
uses On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communi-
cate with other modules in the vehicle as well as
with the DRBIIItscan tool using the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network.
This method of communication is used by the ITM to
communicate with the Body Control Module (BCM)
and for diagnosis and testing. The ITM also commu-
nicates with the alarm siren over a dedicated serial
bus circuit.

HOOD AJAR SWITCH (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.

tem can operate as designed. The use of a DRBIIIT
scan tool is required to initialize the ITM. Refer to
the appropriate diagnostic information.
SIREN
DESCRIPTION
An alarm siren module is part of the premium ver-
sion of the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) in the Vehicle
Theft Security System (VTSS) (Fig. 9). The premium
version of the VTA is only available in vehicles built
for certain markets, where the additional features
offered by this system are required. The alarm siren
module is located in the right front frame rail. This
unit is designed to provide the audible alert require-
ments for the premium VTA.
The alarm siren module consists of microprocessor,
the siren, and a nickel metal hydride backup battery.
All of the alarm module components are protected
and sealed within the housing.The alarm siren module cannot be repaired or
adjusted and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The microprocessor within the alarm siren module
provides the siren unit features and functions based
upon internal programming and arm and disarm
messages received from the Intrusion Transceiver
Module (ITM) over a dedicated serial bus communi-
cation circuit. The alarm siren module will self-detect
problems with its internal and external power supply
and communication circuits, then send messages
indicating the problem to the ITM upon receiving a
request from the ITM. The ITM will store a Diagnos-
tic Trouble Code (DTC) for a detected alarm siren
module fault that can be retrieved with the DRBIIIt
scan tool over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus.
When the premium version of the Vehicle Theft
Alarm (VTA) is armed, the alarm siren module con-
tinuously monitors inputs from the ITM for messages
to sound its siren and enters its auto-detect mode.
While in the auto-detect mode, if the alarm siren
module detects that its power supply or communica-
tion circuits are being tampered with or have been
sabotaged, it will sound an alarm and continue to
operate through its on-board backup battery. If the
arm siren module is in its disarmed mode when its
power supply or communication circuits are inter-
rupted, the siren will not sound. The alarm module
will also notify the ITM when the backup battery
requires charging, and the ITM will send a message
that will allow the backup battery to be charged
through the battery voltage and ground circuits to
the alarm module only when the ignition switch is in
the On position and the engine is running. This will
prevent the charging of the alarm backup battery
from depleting the charge in the main vehicle battery
while the vehicle is not being operated.
The alarm siren module receives battery voltage
through a fuse in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC), and is grounded to the chassis. These connec-
tions allow the alarm siren module to remain opera-
tional, regardless of the ignition switch position. The
hard wired inputs and outputs for the alarm siren
module may be diagnosed and tested using conven-
tional diagnostic tools and procedures. However, con-
ventional diagnostic methods will not prove
conclusive in the diagnosis of the internal circuitry or
the backup battery of the alarm siren module, the
ITM, the serial bus communication line, or the mes-
sage inputs to and outputs from the alarm siren
module. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the alarm siren module, the ITM,
the serial bus communication line, and the electronic

WASHER RESERVOIR
DESCRIPTION
A single washer fluid reservoir is used for both the
front and rear washer systems (Fig. 22). The molded
plastic washer fluid reservoir is concealed between
the left front inner and outer fender panels, behind
the inner fender liner in front of the left front wheel.
The only visible component of the washer reservoir is
the filler neck and cap unit, which extends through a
hole in the left front wheel house extension panel
into the engine compartment. A bright yellow plastic
filler cap with a rubber seal and an International
Control and Display Symbol icon for ªWindshield
Washerº and the text ªWasher Fluid Onlyº molded
into it snaps over the open end of the filler neck. The
cap hinges on and is secured to a molded-in hook for-
mation on the rear of the reservoir filler neck.There are separate, dedicated holes on the out-
board side of the reservoir provided for the mounting
of the front and rear washer/pump motor units, and
another dedicated hole on the front of the reservoir
for the washer fluid level switch. The inboard side of
the washer reservoir has an integral flange that is
secured to the inside of the left front fender wheel
house by two screws, while an integral molded tab
engages a slot in the left front fender inner shield to
support the outboard side of the reservoir. Another
screw secures the reservoir filler neck to the left
front fender inner shield near the front of the engine
compartment. The left front fender wheel house
inner liner must be removed to access the washer

on-vehicle storage location for a large reserve of
washer fluid for operation of the front and rear
washer systems. The washer reservoir filler neck pro-
vides a clearly marked and readily accessible point
from which to add washer fluid to the reservoir. The
front and rear washer/pump motor units are located
in a sump area near the front of the reservoir to be
certain that washer fluid will be available to the
pumps as the fluid level in the reservoir becomes
depleted. The front washer pump/motor unit is
mounted in the lowest position in the sump so that
the front washers will operate even after the rear
washer system will no longer operate. The washer
fluid level switch is mounted just above the sump
area of the reservoir so that there will be adequate
warning to the vehicle operator that the washer fluid
level is low, before the washer system will no longer
operate.
