Rear Window Defog/Heated Mirror
The defroster button located on the HVAC control controls the rear window defogger and the heated side view mirrors.
When the defroster button is pushed, the HVAC control sends a bus message over the PCI bus to the Front Control Module (FCM) which controls the
Rear Window Defogger relay. The defroster LED will illuminate when the defroster function is on. The defroster will function for 10 minutes or can be
cycled off sooner by pressing the defroster button again.
Vehicle Theft Security System
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) is part of the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM monitors the vehicle doors, liftgate (export only),
hood (export only), and the ignition for unauthorized operation. The alarm activates by sounding the horn, flashing the headlamps and the VTSS
indicator lamp. The VTSS does not prevent engine operation, this is done with the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM). The VTSS indicator
lamp will flash for approximately 15 seconds during the arming process. If there is no interruption during the arming process, upon completion the
VTSS indicator lamp will flash at a slower rate. When the BCM receives an input to trigger the alarm, the BCM will control the outputs of the
headlamps, horn, and VTSS lamp for approximately 15 minutes.
Arming (Active and Passive)
Active arming occurs when the ignition key is removed, the RKE transmitter or door key cylinders are used to lock the vehicle doors, whether the doors
are open or closed. The arming process is complete only after all doors are closed.
Passive arming occurs when the ignition key is removed, the driver door is opened, and the doors are locked with the power door lock switch, and the
door is closed.
Disarming (Active and Passive)
Active disarming occurs when the RKE transmitter is used to unlock the vehicle doors. This disarming will also halt the alarm once it has been activated.
Passive disarming occurs upon normal vehicle entry (unlocking driver door with the key) or turning the ignition switch on with a valid ignition key. This
disarming will also halt the alarm once it has been activated.
Tamper Alert
The VTSS tamper alert will sound the horn three times upon disarming after an initial alarming has occurred to indicate a tamper condition has occurred.
Manual Override
The system will not arm if the doors are locked using the manual lock control or if the locks are actuated by an inside occupant after the doors are closed.
Diagnosis
For complaints about the Vehicle Theft Alarm triggering on its own, use the DRBIII(R) and read the Last VTSS Cause status.
Arming
Before arming, all doors, liftgate, and the hood must be completely closed. The system can only be armed by locking the doors with the RKE transmitter.
Disarming
To disarm the alarm system, use the RKE transmitter or turn the ignition on with a valid ignition key. This will also halt the alarm once it has been
activated.
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 PCI Bus Communication with the powertrain
