INTERIOR LIGHTING
The GM controls the interior lighting automatically with the status change of several moni-
tored inputs. The lighting can also be manually controlled using the interior light switch.
COMPONENTS
DOOR CONTACTS: The door lock actuators contain a hall effect sensor for the purpose
of monitoring door open/closed status (hall sensor 3 in the driver's door actuator). The hall
effect sensor is located directly behind the rotary latch plate encased in the actuator. The
sensor is activated by the rotary latch plate's position. A change in current flow informs the
General module when a door is opened or closed.
Front seat interior/map light unit: The overhead
front seat interior/map light unit contains a single
main interior light. The light is controlled by the GM
automatically or by momentarily pressing interior
light switch located on the light assembly. The
switch provides a momentary ground signal that the
GM recognizes as a request to either turn the light
on (if off) or turn the light off (if on).
If the switch is held for more than 3 seconds, the GM interprets the continuous ground sig-
nal as a request to turn the interior light circuit off for the Workshop Mode as on previous
systems. The workshop mode is stored in memory and will not come back on even if the
GM is removed from it's power supply and reconnected. The switch must be pressed to
turn the lights back on.
There are two reading/map lights also located in the assembly. Each map light is mechan-
ically controlled by depressing it's corresponding on/off switch. The power supply for the
map lights is supplied by the GM through the Consumer Cut Off circuit.
Rear seat interior light unit:
In the center headliner is an additional interior/reading light unit. This unit contains an inte-
rior light that is controlled with the front interior light and a mechanically switched reading
light on the consumer cut off circuit.
Front footwell lights:
In each front footwell, there is also a courtesy light. These lights are only operated when
the GM provides power to the interior lighting circuit.

ANTI-THEFT (DWA) SYSTEM
The GM utilizes the following components to provide the DWA function:
• Door lock hall effect sensor contacts (door open/closed).
• Tailgate lid switch contact (monitored for closed tailgate).
• Hood switch (monitored for closed hood, located under the hood).
• DWA status LED (part of rear view mirror).
• Tilt sensor located in the electrical
carrier forward of the glove box (next
to GM)
• UIS Interior compartment monitoring
sensor (pre wiring in area of installa-
tion in center headliner).
• DWA siren (left cowl area next to mas-
ter cylinder).

INTERIOR PROTECTION (UIS)
The UIS monitors the vehicle interior for motion through ultrasonic sound waves. The UIS
is a combined transmitter and receiver.
The X5 UIS sensor is incorporated into the
rear seat interior light trim cover. It is a two
piece unit with cable connection to the rear
transmitter/receiver.
The UIS and trim panel are clearly identified
with arrows indicating forward mounting
direction.
Due to the design of the vehicles interior,
the sensor is uni-directional and must be
installed in the proper direction to ensure
proper operation of the system (trim cover
ensures directional installation).
Every time the DWA system is armed (signal STDWA), the sensor adapts to what ever
objects might be stationary in the interior.
The sensor emits ultra sonic waves in a pro-
grammed timed cycle. It receives echos of
the emitted waves.
The UIS amplifies the received sound wave
signals and compares them with the trans-
mitted waves. The UIS also checks the
incoming echos for background hiss (wind
noise through a partially open window) and
adapts for this.
• If the echos are consistently similar, no movement is detected,
• If the echos are altered, (inconsistent), the UIS determines motion in the interior com-
partment.
If motion is detected, the UIS changes to a constant cycle and the echo is compared again.
If the inconsistency is still present the UIS sends the activate siren signal (INRS) to the GM.
As with the tilt sensor, the UIS is also switched OFF when the vehicle is locked two times
within ten seconds. This allows the sensor to be switched OFF for transportation purpos-
es.

DWA ARMING/DISARMING
• The DWA is armed every time the vehicle is locked from the outside with the door lock
cylinder or FZV key.
• The LED in the rear view mirror flashes as an acknowledgment along with the exterior
lights and a momentary chirp from the siren.
• The GM monitors all required input signals for closed status (door closed, tailgate
closed, etc.) The inputs must be in a closed status for a minimum of 3 seconds for the
GM to include them as an activation component. If after 3 seconds any input signal not
in the closed status is excluded (this is acknowledged by the DWA LED) preventing false
alarm activation's.
• If the DWA is armed a second time within 10 seconds, the tilt sensor and interior pro-
tection sensor are also excluded as alarm activation components. This function is use-
ful if the vehicle is transported on a train or flat bed truck to prevent false alarm activa-
tion's.
• While armed the tailgate can be opened with out the alarm being triggered as follows:
- If opened with the tailgate remote button via the FZV, the GM prevents the alarm
from activating. (This feature is customizable under the Car Memory function).
- If opened with the key at the tailgate lock cylinder the tailgate key position switch
signals the GM and in the same manner prevents the alarm from activating.
In either case, when the tailgate is returned to the closed position, it is no longer con-
sidered as an activation signal.
Panic Mode Operation: When the tailgate button is pressed and held, the GM is signaled
to activate the siren for the Panic Mode. The panic mode will function with either an armed
or disarmed DWA system.
EMERGENCY DISARMING
Emergency disarming occurs automatically if a key is used to turn the ignition switch on and
the EWS III accepts it. The EWS III signals the GM to unlock the doors and deactivate the
DWA.

ALARM INDICATION
When the alarm is triggered, the siren will sound for 30 seconds. At the same time the low
beam headlights and four way flashers will flash for 5 minutes. The GM signals the the LCM
III via the K bus -- I bus to flash the lights.
Following an alarm trigger, the system will reset and trigger again if further tampering is
done to the vehicle.
