sends voltage to the cargo lamps. When an unlock button of the RKE is pressed, the cargo lights will turn ON for 30 seconds, similar to the
illuminated entry feature.
The Interior lamp defeat feature will not allow any interior lamp to be turned ON. This is accomplished through an input to the CTM from the dome
lamp switch.
The CTM provides battery protection by shutting down the interior lamps and cargo lights due to the following.
Leaving a door open, dome lamp switch ON, reading/ vanity lamp switch on or glove box door open for more than 15 minutes while the ignition is
OFF.
Power Door Locks/Remote Keyless Entry
POWER DOOR LOCKS/REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
The CTM controls the door lock actuator assemblies to handle locking and unlocking with the key fob or interior switch.
Vehicles that are equipped with the Vehicle Theft Security System will also have the central locking feature. With the central locking feature, when
the cylinder lock switch is turned to the LOCK position, all the doors will lock. For unlocking, if the key is turned to the UNLOCK position once, only
that door will unlock. If the key is then turned a second time to the UNLOCK position within 4 seconds, all the doors will unlock.
There is also a door lock inhibit feature that prevents power locking of the doors if the ignition is OFF and the key is in the ignition. Automatic or
"rolling locks" are included as a programmable feature. If the vehicle is moving approximately 15 mph and approximately 10 degrees of throttle
opening is seen by the PCM, (the PCM will send this info to the CTM via the PCI bus) indicating acceleration, the CTM will cycle the lock actuators
to lock the doors.
The Highline CTM provides for Remote Keyless Entry (RKE).
The RKE system is placed in the programming mode by the DRB III, or by the customer program features. The system will store up to four key fob
codes. Two fobs are supplied with the truck, additional fobs may be purchased through the parts department. Through the DRB III, erasing and
programming of one key fob without deleting the others is possible. If the key fob is stolen, all the fob codes stored previously may be erased to
provide the owner of the vehicle with an extra sense of security.
