Voyager V6-201 3.3L VIN R SMFI (1997)
Door Lock Inhibit - When the key is in the ignition and in the off position, and any door except the rear liftgate is open, all door lock switches are
disabled. The unlock switches are still functional. This protects against locking the vehicle with the keys still in the ignition.
Automatic Door Locks - This feature can be enabled or disabled by using either the DRBIII or the MDS machine. When enabled, all the doors
will lock when the vehicle reaches a speed of 15 MPH and all doors are closed. If a door is opened and the vehicle slows to below 15 MPH, the
door locks will operate again once all doors are closed and the speed is above 15 MPH.
RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) Interface - The body control module interfaces with the RKE receiver via a one-way serial bus interface. The
RKE receiver sends a 0-5 volt pulse width signal to the BCM depending on which button on the transmitter was pressed. The BCM controls the
door lock/unlock relays and arming/disarming of the Vehicle Theft Security System (if equipped). The RKE receiver is capable of retaining up to
4 individual vehicle access codes (4 transmitters). If the PRNDL is in any position except park, the BCM will ground the interface wire thereby
disabling the RKE.
The RKE module can be programmed via the DRBIII, the Mopar Diagnostic System (MDS), or customer programming method. The BCM will
only allow programming mode to be entered when the ignition is in the on position, the PRNDL is in park position, and the VTSS (if equipped) is
in the disarmed mode.
Radio System
NOTE: Vehicle is equipped with an Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse in the power distribution center located in the engine compartment. After the IOD
fuse or battery has been disconnected, the radio station sets and clock will require resetting.
There are three radios available for the minivan:
-
The base radio is an AM/FM stereo radio with four speaker locations.
-
There is an AM/FM cassette radio with four speaker locations that has CCD communication capabilities.
-
The Infinity Gold radio is an AM/FM compact disc stereo tuner/player. It has eight speaker locations.
The radio is available for the first time with an optional cassette deck built in. This allows the flexibility of choosing to play either a cassette tape
or a compact disc all from the same unit. The radio has the capability of communicating on the CCD bus and allowing diagnostics with the DRB.
The Infinity Gold system uses bi-amplified speakers at the front doors and rear quarter panel locations. This means that there is an amplifier
located at each of the four primary speaker locations.
Both the AM/FM cassette radio and the Infinity Gold system can communicate on the CCD bus and display diagnostic trouble codes that can be
read with a scan tool.
NOTE: For 1997, all CCD radios have been disconnected from the CCD bus.
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) /Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS)
This passive system is designed to protect against vehicle theft. The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) is part of the body control module,
which monitors vehicle hood, doors, liftgate, and ignition for unauthorized operation. The alarm activates by sounding the horn, flashing the
headlamps, park and tail lamps, and the VTSS indicator lamp, and providing an engine "no run" feature.
Passive arming occurs upon normal vehicle exit by turning the ignition off, opening the driver's door, locking the doors with the power lock, and
closing the driver's door or locking the doors with RKE. Manual arming occurs by using the key to lock the doors after closing them. The indicator
lamp in the information center will flash for 15 seconds, showing that arming is in progress. If no monitored systems are activated during this
period, the system will arm. If the hood ajar switch is seen as a closed circuit by the system, the indicator lamp will remain steadily lit during the
arming process, although the system will still arm.
When something triggers the alarm, the system will signal the headlamps, park lamps, and horn for about 3 minutes.
Tamper Alert - If the horn sounds three times when either front door or the liftgate is unlocked, it means the alarm was activated. Check the
vehicle for tampering. The VTSS indicator lamp will also flash twice quickly to indicate a tamper condition has occurred.
Manual Override - The system will not arm if the doors are locked using the manual lock control (by hand) or if the locks are actuated by an
inside occupant after the door is closed.
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.
