during the arming process, although the system will
still arm.
If the indicator LED does not illuminate at all
upon door closing it indicates that the system is not
arming.
Passive disarming occurs upon normal vehicle
entry by unlocking either door with the remote trans-
mitter (RG - ignition key or remote transmitter). This
disarming will also halt the alarm once it has been
activated.
A tamper alert exists to notify the driver that the
VTSS had been activated. This alert consists of 3
horn pulses when the vehicle is disarmed.
NOTE: The VTSS will not arm by pushing down the
door lock mechanism. This will manually override
the system.
RG Only- For Door Cylinder Lock Switch
Removal and Installation, refer to Electrical, Power
Locks, Door Cylinder Lock Switch.
If the VTSS is triggered, the horn will pulse, head-
lamps/marker lamps will flash, and the VTSS warn-
ing lamp will flash. If BCM determines the threat to
be false and the VTSS is not triggered again, the sys-
tem will shut down and rearm itself after three min-
utes. If a trigger is still active, the alarm will
continue for an additional 15 minutes without the
horn. The VTSS monitors the passenger compart-
ment (for RG - Export it also monitors the engine
compartment. If a malfunction occurs in the engine
compartment, the passenger compartment would still
arm and function normally).
NOTE: System will not arm if passenger compart-
ment is not secure.
NOTE: (RG - Export - If hood is not secure during
the arming sequence, the lamp will stay lit and not
flash. The system will arm with hood not secured
and the liftgate open).
ARMING THE VTSS - METHOD A
(1) With the key removed from the ignition lock
and any door open (excluding liftgate), actuate one of
the following:
²Power door lock button to LOCK,
²Key fob LOCK button
²Driver door lock key cylinder to locked position
(RG Only).
(2) Close all opened doors. Liftgate can remain
open.
(3) After the last door is closed, an arming time-
out period of sixteen seconds will start, then the
VTSS will become armed.
ARMING THE VTSS - METHOD B
Actuating the key fob transmitter LOCK button,
key locking the front doors with the doors closed and
the ignition locked will begin the arming time-out
period. If method A, 16 second time-out sequence was
in process when method B was actuated, the 16 sec-
ond time-out will restart from the time of the second
actuation.
If the security lamp does not illuminate at all upon
final door closure, it indicates that the system is not
arming.
The current VTSS status armed or disarmed shall
be maintained in memory to prevent battery discon-
nects from disarming the system.
TRIGGERING THE VTSS
After the VTSS is armed, the following actions will
trigger the alarm:
²Opening any door (liftgate - only if opening via
liftgate button on key fob).
²Opening the hood (RG - Export)
²Turning the ignition to the RUN position.
NOTE: When the VTSS is ARMED, the interior
power door lock switch ªUNLOCKº will be disabled
until the vehicle is disarmed.
CAUTION: The VTSS indicator LED will trigger and
engine will continue to run if the vehicle is
equipped with SKREES and the proper key is used
to start the vehicle. This condition will occur if the
VTSS has been triggered. If valid key is used, VTSS
will disarm
SENTRY KEY REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM
The SKREES includes keys from the factory which
are pre-programmed. Each SKREEM will recognize a
maximum of eight Sentry Keys. If the customer
would like to own additional keys other than those
provided with the vehicle, they can be purchased
from any authorized dealer. These keys must be pro-
grammed to the SKREEM on the vehicle in order for
the system to recognize them as valid keys. This can
be done by the dealer with a DRBllltscan tool or by
a customer if this feature is available in their market
and they have two (2) valid keys already available to
them. Refer to the Service Procedures portion of this
system for additional details. The SKREES performs
a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position and will store Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC's) if a system malfunction is detected.
The SKREES can be diagnosed and any stored DTC's
can be retrieved using a DRBllltscan tool as
described in the appropriate Body Diagnostic Proce-
dures information.

SENTRY KEY REMOTE ENTRY
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM)
performs the functions of the Sentry Key Immobilizer
Module (SKIM), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Mod-
ule, and the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) System
(previously part of the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC).
The SKREEM is located in the same location as
the SKIM was and is mounted the same way. It looks
identical, but has added capabilities.
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS)
authenticates an electronically coded Transponder
Key placed into the ignition and sends a valid/invalid
key message to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) based upon the results. The ªVALID/INVALID
KEYº message communication is performed using a
rolling code algorithm via the Programmable Com-
munication Interface (PCI) data bus. A ªVALID KEYº

key in the ignition has already been programmed
into that vehicle's SKREEM.
²(Eight Keys Already Learned (At The Maxi-
mum) Programming Not Done(is displayed if
eight keys have already been programmed into the
SKREEM. In this case, if a new key needs to be
added due to a lost or defective key, the9Erase All
Keys9command (which requires entering the Secured
Access Mode) has to be performed. Following the
9Erase All Keys9command, all keys that will be used
to operate the vehicleMUSTbe reprogrammed to
the SKREEM.
²(Programming Not Attempted(is displayed
after an9Erase All Keys9function is executed.
²(Programming Key Failed(is displayed if fur-
ther diagnosis is required.
To learn additional keys, turn the ignition OFF,
remove the learned key, insert the next new blank
key, and repeat the steps from the beginning.
ªCUSTOMER LEARNº MODE
This feature is only available on domestic vehicles
or those which have a U.S. country code designator.
This procedure requires access to at least two valid
Sentry Keys. If two valid Sentry Keys are not avail-
able, Sentry Key programming will require the use of
a DRBIIItscan tool.
The steps required to program Sentry Keys with
two valid Sentry Keys follows:
(1) Obtain the blank Sentry Key(s) that need to be
programmed. Cut the keys to match the ignition lock
cylinder mechanical key codes.
(2) Insert one of the two valid Sentry Keys into the
ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the
ON position.
(3) After the ignition switch has been in the ON
position for longer than three seconds, but no more
than fifteen seconds, cycle the ignition switch back to
the OFF position. Replace the first valid Sentry Key
in the ignition lock cylinder with the second valid
Sentry Key and turn the ignition switch back to the
ON position. The second valid Sentry Key must be
inserted within 15 seconds of removing the first valid
Sentry key.
(4) About ten seconds after the completion of Step
3, the indicator light will start to flash and a single
audible chime tone will sound to indicate that the
system has entered the9Customer Learn9program-
ming mode.
(5) Within sixty seconds of entering the9Customer
Learn9programming mode, turn the ignition switch
to the OFF position, replace the valid Sentry Key
with a blank Sentry Key transponder, and turn the
ignition switch back to the ON position.(6) About ten seconds after the completion of Step
5, a single audible chime tone will sound and the
indicator light will stop flashing and stay on solid for
three seconds and then turn off to indicate that the
blank Sentry Key has been successfully programmed.
The SKREES will immediately exit the9Customer
Learn9programming mode and the vehicle may be
started using the newly programmed Sentry Key.
NOTE: The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter
will also be programmed during this procedure.
These steps must be completed in their entirety for
each additional Sentry Key to be programmed. If any
of the above steps are not completed in the given
sequence, or within the allotted time, the SKREES
will exit the9Customer Learn9programming mode
and the programming will be unsuccessful. The
SKREES will also automatically exit the9Customer
Learn9programming mode if:
²It sees a non-blank Sentry Key when it should
see a blank.
²If it has already programmed four (4) valid Sen-
try Keys.
²If the ignition switch is turned to the OFF posi-
tion for more than about fifty (50) seconds.
NOTE: If you attempt to start the vehicle while in
ªCustomer Learnº mode (LED flashing), the vehicle
will behave as though an invalid key is being used
(i.e. the engine will stall after two (2) seconds of
running). No faults will be logged.
NOTE: Once a Sentry Key has been programmed to
a particular vehicle, it cannot be used on any other
vehicle.
VTSS/SKIS INDICATOR LAMP
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key Remote Entry System (SKREES)
uses an indicator light to convey information on the
status of the system to the customer. This light is
shared with the Vehicle Theft Security System
(VTSS). The light is located in the Mechanical
Instrument Cluster (MIC). The VTSS status is con-
trolled by the Body Control Module (BCM), via Pro-
grammable Communication Interface (PCI) data bus
communication with the MIC, based upon messages
it receives from the Sentry Key Remote Entry Mod-
ule (SKREEM) on the PCI data bus.

OPERATION
The power steering pump is a constant displace-
ment vane type pump. The 2.4L pump has an inte-
gral fluid reservoir and there is a secondary remote
non-flow reservoir which acts only as a fluid fill and
check point. The 3.3L/3.8L pump houses very little
fluid and is therefore supplied by a remote flow
through reservoir.
WARNING
WARNING: POWER STEERING FLUID, ENGINE
PARTS AND EXHAUST SYSTEM MAY BE
EXTREMELY HOT IF ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING.DO NOT START ENGINE WITH ANY LOOSE OR DIS-
CONNECTED HOSES. DO NOT ALLOW HOSES TO
TOUCH HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD OR CATALYST.
WARNING: FLUID LEVEL SHOULD BE CHECKED
WITH THE ENGINE OFF TO PREVENT PERSONAL
INJURY FROM MOVING PARTS.
CAUTION
CAUTION: When the system is open, cap all open
ends of the hoses, power steering pump fittings or
power steering gear ports to prevent entry of for-
eign material into the components.
