Town & Country SWB FWD V6-3.3L VIN G Flex Fuel (2000)
When an unauthorized entry into the vehicle occurs, the VTSS sends a message via the CCD bus to the powertrain control module that it is not OK
to start the engine. The powertrain control module then zeroes out the pulse width to the fuel injectors after the engine has been started, thus
shutting down the engine (start and stall condition). The engine will not start until the system is disarmed.
To verify the system, proceed as follows:
1. Open the driver's door.
2. Remove the ignition key (but keep it in hand).
3. Lock the doors with the power lock switch.
4. Close the driver's door.
NOTE: After the doors are closed, locking the doors with RKE will also arm the system.
NOTE: IF THE VTSS INDICATOR LAMP FLASHED, THE SYSTEM IS OPERATIONAL AND VERIFIED. IF NOT, THERE MAY BE
A PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM.
System initialization is accomplished by:
1. Opening the hood to ensure the hood ajar circuit is closed.
2. Rotating the key in liftgate cylinder to unlock/ disarm position.
Arming/Disarming
Active arming occurs when the remote keyless entry transmitter is used to lock the vehicle doors, whether the doors are open or closed. If one or
more doors are open, the arming sequence is completed only after all door are closed.
Passive disarming occurs upon normal vehicle entry (unlocking either front door or the liftgate with the key). This disarming also will halt the
alarm once it has been activated.
Active disarming occurs when the remote keyless entry transmitter is used to unlock the vehicle doors. This disarming also will halt the alarm once
it has been activated.
System Self-Test
NOTE: System self-test can be entered only with the DRB.
NOTE: A POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE FROM A VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
CANNOT BE USED IN A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM.
If the VTSS indicator lamp comes on after ignition ON and stays on, the CCD bus communication with the powertrain control module possibly has
been lost.
WIPER SYSTEM
Front
The front wiper system provide the driver with normal wipe (low and high speeds), intermittent wipe, wipe after wash, and pulse wipe functions.
The driver selects the wiper function via a resistive multiplexed stalk switch mounted on the steering column. When the wiper is in the ON
position and the ignition is turned OFF, the wiper will continue to run until it reaches its park position.
Other front wiper system features include:
Speed Sensitive Intermittent Wipe Mode - There are 6 individual delay times with minimum delay of 1/2 second to a maximum of 18 seconds.
When the vehicle speed is under 10 mph, the delay time is doubled to provide a range time of from 1 second to 36 seconds.
Pulse Wipe - When the wiper is in the off position and the driver presses the wash button for more than 62 msec but less than 1/2 second, 1 wipe
cycle in low speed mode will be provided.
Wipe After Wash Mode - When the driver presses the wash button for over 1/2 second and then releases it, the wiper will continue to run for 2
additional wipe cycles.
Rear
The rear wiper system provides the driver with continuous, intermittent, and wiper after wash functions. The driver selects the wiper function via a
resistive multiplexed switch mounted in the HVAC control.
