DESCRIPTION
POWER DOOR LOCKS
All doors can be locked or unlocked electrically by
operating the switch on either front door panel.
When the door lock switch is activated the Remote
Keyless Entry Module provides power to the door
lock motors through relays internal to the module.
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Module also con-
trols the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS).
NOTE: The dealer must remove the module from
“SHIP MODE” and place the RKE Module into either
the
“DEALER LOT” storage or “CUSTOMER
USAGE” modes of operation after receiving the
vehicle from the assembly plant. Refer to Electrical,
Vehicle Theft Security, Service Procedures - Switch-
ing Operating Modes/Configuring a New Module.
The power lock motors are also equipped with a
thermal protection system which prevents the motors
from burning out. The motors may chatter if they are
continuously activated.
The power lock motor is integral to the door latch.
If there is a problem with the motor the entire latch
must be replaced. Refer to Body, Doors - Front (or
Rear), Latch, Removal, and Installation.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
The system allows locking and unlocking of vehicle
door(s), deck lid release, and panic by remote control
using a hand held radio frequency transmitter. The
vehicle must be in PARK before the trunk lid can be
unlatched with the transmitter.
The receiver may receive signals from up to four
transmitters. Each transmitter has its own code, and
the code is programmed and stored into receiver
memory. If a transmitter is replaced or additional
transmitters are added, the codes for all units have
to be reprogrammed into the receiver memory. If a
receiver module is replaced, the transmitter codes
must be stored in the new receiver memory.
NOTE: The module must be in the “CUSTOMER
USAGE” mode of operation for the remote keyless
entry system to function.
ROLLING DOOR LOCKS
The system includes the rolling door locking fea-
ture. The vehicle is shipped with the system enabled.
When the system is disabled the door locks will work
by use of the door lock switches and the Remote Key-
less Entry system only. When the rolling door lock
system is enabled, the RKE module will automati-
cally lock all the vehicle doors when all of the follow-
ing conditions are met:
•
All doors are closed
•
The vehicle speed exceeds 15 ± 1 mph.
•
The throttle position sensor tip-in is greater
than 10 ± 2 degrees.
The RKE module will automatically re-lock all
doors if the above conditions are met and if any of
the doors become ajar and then closed again.
The enabling/disabling of the rolling door lock fea-
ture is customer programmable, as well as program-
mable with the DRBIII
t
scan tool.
DOOR LOCK INHIBIT
With the key in the ignition switch and the driver
door open, the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Module
will ignore the command to lock the power door locks
via the interior driver door lock switch. Once the key
is removed, or the driver door is closed, the RKE
