Ignition Switch: Description and Operation
Wireless Ignition Node Receiver - Operation
OPERATION
Following are brief descriptions of the systems that the WIN controls.
IGNITION SWITCH
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) incorporates an integral ignition switch that consists of four rotary positions with three detent positions and one
spring-loaded position. The one extreme clockwise position shall be spring-loaded momentary contact "START" position. When released from the
"START" position, the switch shall automatically return to the detent "ON" position. The other position include a detent "ACCESSORY" position
and a detent"LOCK" position.
The WIN reads the position of the ignition switch and transmits via vehicle bus. These positions include "LOCK" with ignition key-out, "LOCK" with
ignition key-in, "ACCESSORY", "RUN" and "START".
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (SKIS)
Upon failure of proper Sentry Key Immobilizer (SKIS) communication to the Powertrain Control Module, (PCM), the PCM will shut off fuel after two
seconds of run time. The engine will not re-crank on the key cycle during which the failure occurred. A full key down sequence must be performed for
the engine to crank again See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Description and Operation/Vehicle Theft Security
System - Operation.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), transmitter uses radio frequency signals to communicate with the WIN across can bus. See: Body and
Frame/Locks/Power Locks/Description and Operation/Power Locks - Operation
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM)
The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system uses radio and sensor technology to monitor tire air pressure levels. See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and
Warning Indicators/Tire Monitoring System/Description and Operation/Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) - Operation.
REMOTE START WITH/EXTENDED RANGE ANTENNA
Further information concerning the Remote Start System See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Keyless Entry/Keyless
Starting System/Description and Operation/Starting System - Operation
BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK (BTSI)
The Brake Transmission Shifter/Ignition Interlock (BTSI) is controlled by the WIN and prevents the transmission gear shifter from being moved out of
PARK without a driver in place. See: Transmission and Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Shift Interlock/Description and Operation/42RLE
Automatic Transmission/Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock Mechanism - Operation.
FOBIK REMOVAL INHIBIT FEATURE
The key removal inhibit solenoid internal to the WIN prevents the FOB with Integrated Key (FOBIK) from being rotated in the ignition switch to the
LOCK position for all vehicles with an automatic transmission unless the transmission shift lever is in the PARK position. The WIN module monitors a
hard wired input from a switch integral to the automatic transmission shifter module to control this feature. The key removal inhibit solenoid is
electronically disabled internally by the WIN on vehicles with a manual transmission.
