²Load Undetermined Occupant Classifica-
tion Message- Each time the ORC receives a mes-
sage from the OCM indicating that a load cannot be
determined in the passenger front seat, the passen-
ger airbag and seat belt tensioner deployment cir-
cuits are deactivated and the PAD indicator will be
illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until:
²The ORC receives an occupant classification

²Communication Error- If the ORC receives
invalid occupant classification messages or no mes-
sages from the OCM, the PAD indicator is illumi-
nated. The indicator remains illuminated until:
²The ORC receives an occupant classification
message indicating that the passenger front seat is
empty.
²The seat is occupied by a load equal to or
greater than a fifth percentile female.
²OR, until the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position, whichever of these three occurs first.
The ORC continually monitors the occupant classi-
fication messages from the OCM to decide whether
the passenger airbag and seat belt tensioner deploy-
ment circuits should be activated or deactivated.
Note that there may be several seconds of delay
between changes in the detected occupant status and
PAD indications. This is a programmed feature of the
OCM used to prevent a flashing indicator condition
resulting from the normal shifting of occupant weight
on the passenger seat cushion. The ORC then pro-
vides the proper control output to turn the PAD indi-
cator ON or OFF.
The ORC will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) for any malfunction it detects. For proper
diagnosis of the OCM, the ORC, the PCI data bus, or
the electronic message inputs to the ORC that con-
trol the PAD indicator, use a scan tool and the appro-
priate diagnostic information.REMOVAL

CABLE
DESCRIPTION
The speed control servo cable is connected between

SERVO
DESCRIPTION
The servo unit consists of a solenoid valve body,
and a vacuum chamber. The solenoid valve body con-
tains three solenoids:
²Vacuum
²Vent
²Dump
The vacuum chamber contains a diaphragm with a
cable attached to control the throttle linkage.
OPERATION
The PCM controls the solenoid valve body. The
solenoid valve body controls the application and
release of vacuum to the diaphragm of the vacuum
servo. The servo unit cannot be repaired and is ser-
viced only as a complete assembly.
Power is supplied to the servo by the PCM through
the brake switch. The PCM controls the ground path
for the vacuum and vent solenoids.
The dump solenoid is energized anytime it receives
power. If power to the dump solenoid is interrupted,
the solenoid dumps vacuum in the servo. This pro-
vides a safety backup to the vent and vacuum sole-
noids.
The vacuum and vent solenoids must be grounded
by the PCM to operate. When the PCM grounds the
vacuum servo solenoid, the solenoid allows vacuum
to enter the servo and pull open the throttle plate
using the cable. When the PCM breaks the ground,
the solenoid closes and no more vacuum is allowed to
enter the servo. The PCM also operates the vent sole-
noid via ground. The vent solenoid opens and closes a
passage to bleed or hold vacuum in the servo as
required.
The PCM cycles the vacuum and vent solenoids to
maintain the set speed, or to accelerate and deceler-
ate the vehicle. To increase throttle opening, the
PCM grounds the vacuum and vent solenoids. To
decrease throttle opening, the PCM removes the
grounds from the vacuum and vent solenoids.
REMOVAL
(1) Release hood latch and open hood.
(2) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(3) Disconnect the throttle and speed control cable
ends from throttle body (Fig. 2).

SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
There are two separate switch pods that operate
the speed control system and are located on the
steering wheel.
OPERATION
The speed control system has five separate resis-
tive switches that provide a single multiplexed
(MUX) voltage inputs to the PCM.The switch names
are: ON, OFF, SET, COAST, RESUME, ACCEL, TAP-
UP, COAST, and CANCEL. Based on conditions when
the buttons are pushed (and released), the five volt-
age ranges provided to the PCM result in the follow-
ing functions: ON, OFF, SET, COAST, RESUME,
ACCEL, TAP-UP, TAP-DOWN, COAST, and CAN-
CEL. Refer to the Speed Control Section for more
information
Also the PCM receives an input from the brake
switch to sense whether the brake pedal has been
depressed. When the PCM receives the brake
depressed input, it turns off power to the speed con-
trol servo and disengages speed control. Also the
power to the servo is supplied through the brake
switch, which opens the circuit when the brake pedal
is depressed.
The individual switches cannot be repaired. If one
switch fails, the entire switch module must be
replaced.
REMOVAL
The speed control switches are mounted in the
steering wheel and wired through the clock spring
device under the airbag module.

VACUUM RESERVOIR
DESCRIPTION
The vacuum reservoir is located in the engine com-
partment. It is made of plastic.
OPERATION
The reservoir stores engine vacuum. Manifold vac-
uum is supplied from the brake booster check valve.
The speed control vacuum supply hose has a check
valve at the source (brake booster) to maintain the
highest available vacuum level in the servo, reservoir
and vacuum hoses. When engine vacuum drops, as in
climbing a grade while driving, the reservoir supplies
the vacuum needed to maintain proper speed control
operation. The vacuum reservoir cannot be repaired
and must be replaced if faulty.

8P - 6 SPEED CONTROLRS
SWITCH (Continued)

RG Only- If fault is detected on the driver key
cylinder input, the indicator LED will remain solid
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.
