VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY - SERVICE INFORMATION


DESCRIPTION
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) is designed to provide perimeter protection against unauthorized vehicle
use or tampering by monitoring the vehicle doors, the liftgate, the liftgate flip-up glass, the ignition system and, only
on vehicles built for sale in certain international markets where it is required equipment, the hood. If unauthorized
vehicle use or tampering is detected, the system responds by pulsing the horn and flashing the exterior lamps. In
many markets the VTSS also includes the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS), which provides passive vehicle
protection by preventing the engine from operating unless a valid electronically encoded key is detected in the igni-
tion lock cylinder.
The VTSS includes the following major components:
• Door Ajar Switch
• Driver Cylinder Lock Switch
• Hood Ajar Switch (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY/HOOD AJAR SWITCH -
DESCRIPTION).
• Liftgate Ajar Switch
• Liftgate Flip-Up Glass Ajar Switch
• Low Beam Headlamp Relay
• VTSS Indicator (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY/VTSS INDICATOR - DESCRIP-
TION).
Certain functions and features of the VTSS rely upon resources shared with or controlled by other modules in the
vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CCN) data bus network. The other modules that may affect VTSS oper-
ation are:
• Cab Compartment Node (CCN) (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DESCRIPTION).
• Driver Memory Mirror Module (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/MEMORY
HEATED SEAT/MIRROR MODULE - DESCRIPTION).
• Passenger Memory Mirror Module (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/MEM-
ORY HEATED SEAT/MIRROR MODULE - DESCRIPTION).
• Steering Control Module (SCM) (Refer to 19 - STEERING/COLUMN/STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MOD-
ULE - DESCRIPTION).
8Q - 84 VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM


The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) includes the following major components, which are described in further
detail elsewhere in this service manual:
• Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
• Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM)
• Sentry Key Transponder
• SKIS Indicator
Except for the Sentry Key transponders, which rely upon Radio Frequency (RF) communication, hard wired circuitry
connects the SKIS components to the electrical system of the vehicle. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

OPERATION
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) is used on this model to control and integrate many of the func-
tions and features included in the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS). In the VTSS, the EMIC/CCN receives
inputs indicating the status of the door ajar switches, the liftgate ajar switch and the ignition switch. The EMIC will
process the information from all of these inputs, internally control the security indicator as appropriate, and send
electronic messages to the Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. The FCM
internally controls the output to the hazard warning lamps and sends a control output to energize or de-energize the
horn relay as appropriate.
Following are paragraphs describing the operation of each of the VTSS features.

ENABLING

The EMIC must have the VTSS function electronically enabled in order for the VTSS to perform as designed. The
logic in the EMIC keeps its VTSS function dormant until it is enabled using a diagnostic scan tool. The VTSS func-
tion of the EMIC is enabled on vehicles equipped with the VTSS option at the factory, but a service replacement
EMIC must be VTSS-enabled by the dealer using a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation.

ARMING

Passive arming of the VTSS occurs when the vehicle is exited with the key removed from the ignition switch, the
headlamps are turned off, and the doors are locked while they are open using the power lock switch. Active arming
occurs when the “Lock” button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is depressed to lock the vehicle. For
active arming to occur, the doors must be closed and the ignition switch must be in the Off position when the RKE
transmitter “Lock” button is depressed. The power lock switch will not function if the key is in the ignition switch or
the headlamps are turned on with the driver side front door open.
Pre-arming of the VTSS is initiated when a door or the liftgate is open when the vehicle is locked using a power
door lock switch or when the RKE transmitter “Lock” button is depressed. Pre-arming will not occur if the key is in
the ignition switch or the headlamps are turned on with the driver side front door open. When the VTSS is pre-
armed, the arming sequence is delayed until all of the doors and the liftgate have been closed. The VTSS will
remain in “Pre-Armed” mode for up to seventeen seconds after all doors and the liftgate have been closed.
Once the VTSS begins the passive or active arming sequence, the security indicator in the instrument cluster will
flash rapidly for about seventeen seconds. This indicates that VTSS arming is in progress. If the ignition switch is
turned to the On position, a door or the liftgate is opened, a door or the liftgate is unlocked by any means, or the
RKE “Panic” button is depressed during the seventeen second arming process, the security indicator will stop flash-
ing and the arming process will abort. Once the seventeen second arming sequence is successfully completed, the
security indicator will flash at a slower rate, indicating that the VTSS is armed.

DISARMING

Disarming of the VTSS is only possible if the vehicle is equipped with the optional Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS). On vehicles with SKIS, turning the ignition switch to the On position using a valid SKIS key will passively
disarm VTSS. Active disarming of the VTSS occurs when the vehicle is unlocked by depressing the “Unlock” button
of the RKE transmitter. Once the alarm has been activated, either disarming method will also deactivate the alarm.
Depressing the “Panic” button on the RKE transmitter will not disarm the VTSS.
WK VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY - SERVICE INFORMATION 8Q - 85

POWER-UP MODE

When the armed VTSS senses that the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, it enters its power-up
mode. In the power-up mode the alarm system remains armed following a battery failure or disconnect. If the VTSS
was armed prior to a battery disconnect or failure, the technician or vehicle operator will have to actively or pas-
sively disarm the alarm system after the battery is reconnected. The power-up mode will also apply if the battery
goes dead while the system is armed, and battery jump-starting is attempted. The VTSS will be armed until the
technician or vehicle operator has actively or passively disarmed the alarm system. If the VTSS is in the disarmed
mode prior to a battery disconnect or failure, it will remain disarmed after the battery is reconnected or replaced, or
if jump-starting is attempted.

TAMPER ALERT

The VTSS tamper alert feature will sound the horn three times upon disarming, if the alarm was triggered and has
since timed-out (about eighteen minutes) or if the battery has been disconnected and reconnected. This feature
alerts the vehicle operator that the VTSS alarm was activated while the vehicle was unattended.

SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM


The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) is designed to provide passive protection against unauthorized vehicle
use by disabling the engine after about two seconds of running, whenever any method other than a valid Sentry Key
is used to start the vehicle. The SKIS is considered a passive protection system because it is always active when
the ignition system is energized and does not require any customer intervention. The SKIS uses Radio Frequency
(RF) communication to obtain confirmation that the key in the ignition switch is a valid key for operating the vehicle.
The microprocessor-based SKIS hardware and software also uses electronic messages to communicate with other
electronic modules in the vehicle over the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/COMMUNICATION - OPERATION).
Pre-programmed Sentry Key transponders are provided with the vehicle from the factory. Each Sentry Key REmote
Entry Module (SKREEM) will recognize a maximum of eight Sentry Keys. If the customer would like additional keys
other than those provided with the vehicle, they may be purchased from any authorized dealer. These additional
keys must be programmed to the SKREEM in the vehicle in order for the system to recognize them as valid keys.
This can be done by the dealer using a scan tool or, if Customer Learn programming is an available SKIS feature
in the market where the vehicle was purchased, the customer can program the additional keys, as long as at least
two valid Sentry Keys are already available. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY/TRANSPON-
DER KEY - STANDARD PROCEDURE - TRANSPONDER PROGRAMMING).
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position, and will store fault infor-
mation in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) if a system malfunction is detected. The SKIS can be diag-
nosed, and any stored DTC can be retrieved using a scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

MODULE-SENTRY KEY REMOTE ENTRY


DESCRIPTION

The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) is


sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control Module
(WCM). The SKREEM is the primary component of
the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS). It is also
the receiver for the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) sys-
tem and the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. The
SKREEM is located on the instrument panel, just to
the right of the steering column, mounted around the
ignition lock cylinder housing and is concealed
beneath the instrument panel. The molded black plas-
tic housing for the SKREEM has an integral molded
plastic halo-like antenna ring. When the SKREEM is
properly installed, the antenna ring is oriented around
the circumference of the ignition lock cylinder housing.
A single integral connector is located next to the
antenna ring on the SKREEM housing. The SKREEM
is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
the instrument panel wire harness. The SKREEM can-
not be adjusted or repaired. If faulty or damaged, the
entire SKREEM unit must be replaced.

OPERATION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a micropro-
cessor. The SKREEM transmits RF signals to, and receives RF signals from the Sentry Key transponder through a
tuned antenna enclosed within the molded plastic antenna ring integral to the SKREEM housing. If this antenna ring
is not mounted properly around the ignition lock cylinder housing, communication problems between the SKREEM
and the transponder may arise. These communication problems will result in Sentry Key transponder-related faults.
The SKREEM also serves as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) RF receiver. The SKREEM communicates over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus with the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC), the Powertrain Con-
trol Module (PCM), and/or the diagnostic scan tool.
The SKREEM retains in memory the ID numbers of any Sentry Key transponder that is programmed into it. A max-
imum of eight Sentry Key transponders can be programmed into the SKREEM. For added system security, each
SKREEM is programmed with a unique Secret Key code. This code is stored in memory, sent over the CAN data
bus to the PCM, and is encoded to the transponder of every Sentry Key that is programmed into the SKREEM.
Therefore, the Secret Key code is a common element that is found in every component of the Sentry Key Immo-
bilizer System (SKIS). Another security code, called a PIN, is used to gain access to the SKREEM Secured Access
Mode. The Secured Access Mode is required during service to perform the SKIS initialization and Sentry Key tran-
sponder programming procedures. The SKREEM also stores the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in its memory,
which it learns through a CAN data bus message from the PCM during SKIS initialization.
In the event that a SKREEM replacement is required, the Secret Key code can be transferred to the new SKREEM
from the PCM using the diagnostic scan tool and the SKIS initialization procedure. Proper completion of the SKIS
initialization will allow the existing Sentry Keys to be programmed into the new SKREEM so that new keys will not
be required. In the event that the original Secret Key code cannot be recovered, SKREEM replacement will also
require new Sentry Keys. The diagnostic scan tool will alert the technician during the SKIS initialization procedure if
new Sentry Keys are required.
When the ignition switch is turned to the On position, the SKREEM transmits an RF signal to the transponder in the
ignition key. The SKREEM then waits for an RF signal response from the transponder. If the response received
identifies the key as valid, the SKREEM sends a valid key message to the PCM over the CAN data bus. If the
response received identifies the key as invalid or if no response is received from the key transponder, the SKREEM
sends an invalid key message to the PCM. The PCM will enable or disable engine operation based upon the status
of the SKREEM messages. It is important to note that the default condition in the PCM is an invalid key; therefore,
WK VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY - SERVICE INFORMATION 8Q - 87

if no message is received from the SKREEM by the PCM, the engine will be disabled and the vehicle immobilized
after two seconds of running.
The SKREEM also sends security indicator status messages to the EMIC over the CAN data bus to tell the EMIC
how to operate the security indicator. The security indicator status message from the SKREEM tells the EMIC to
turn the indicator on for about three seconds each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position as a bulb
test. After completion of the bulb test, the SKREEM sends security indicator status messages to the EMIC to turn
the indicator off, turn the indicator on, or to flash the indicator on and off. If the security indicator flashes or stays on
solid after the bulb test, it signifies a SKIS fault. If the SKREEM detects a system malfunction and/or the SKIS has
become inoperative, the security indicator will stay on solid. If the SKREEM detects an invalid key or if a key tran-
sponder-related fault exists, the security indicator will flash. If the vehicle is equipped with the Customer Learn tran-
sponder programming feature, the SKREEM will also send messages to the EMIC to flash the security indicator
whenever the Customer Learn programming mode is being utilized (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE THEFT
SECURITY/TRANSPONDER KEY - STANDARD PROCEDURE - TRANSPONDER PROGRAMMING).
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position, and will store fault infor-
mation in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in SKREEM memory if a system malfunction is detected.
The SKREEM can be diagnosed, and any stored DTC can be retrieved using a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM INITIALIZATION
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) must be initialized following a Sentry Key REmote Entry Module
(SKREEM) replacement. SKIS initialization requires the use of a scan tool. Initialization will also require that you
have access to the unique four-digit PIN code that was assigned to the original SKREEM. The PIN code must be
used to enter the Secured Access Mode in the SKREEM. This PIN number may be obtained from the vehicle owner,
from the original vehicle invoice, or from the DaimlerChrysler Customer Center. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELEC-
TRONIC CONTROL MODULES - STANDARD PROCEDURE - PCM/SKIM PROGRAMMING).

NOTE: If a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is replaced on a vehicle equipped with the Sentry Key Immo-
bilizer System (SKIS), the unique Secret Key data must be transferred from the Sentry Key REmote Entry
Module (SKREEM) to the new PCM using the PCM replacement procedure. This procedure also requires the
use of a scan tool and the unique four-digit PIN code to enter the Secured Access Mode in the SKREEM.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information for the proper PCM replacement procedures.

TRANSPONDER KEY
DESCRIPTION

Each ignition key (2) used in the Sentry Key Immobi-


lizer System (SKIS) has a transponder chip included
on the circuit board (4) beneath the cover (1) of the
integral Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (3).
In addition to having to be cut to match the mechani-
cal coding of the ignition lock cylinder and pro-
grammed for operation of the RKE system, each new
Sentry Key has a unique transponder identification
code that is permanently programmed into it by the
manufacturer, and which must be programmed into
the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) to
be recognized by the SKIS as a valid key. The Sentry
Key transponder cannot be adjusted or repaired. If
faulty or damaged, the entire key and RKE transmitter
unit must be replaced.

OPERATION
When the ignition switch is turned to the On position, the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) communi-
cates through its antenna with the Sentry Key transponder using a Radio Frequency (RF) signal. The SKREEM then
listens for a RF response from the transponder through the same antenna. The Sentry Key transponder chip is
within the range of the SKREEM transceiver antenna ring when it is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. The
SKREEM determines whether a valid key is present in the ignition lock cylinder based upon the response from the
transponder. If a valid key is detected, that fact is communicated by the SKREEM to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus, and the PCM allows the engine to continue running. If the
PCM receives an invalid key message, or receives no message from the SKREEM over the CAN data bus, the
engine will be disabled after about two seconds of operation. The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) will
also respond to the invalid key message on the CAN data bus by flashing the security indicator on and off.
Each Sentry Key has a unique transponder identification code permanently programmed into it by the manufacturer.
Likewise, the SKREEM has a unique Secret Key code programmed into it by the manufacturer. When a Sentry Key
is programmed into the memory of the SKREEM, the SKREEM stores the transponder identification code from the
Sentry Key, and the Sentry Key learns the Secret Key code from the SKREEM. Once the Sentry Key learns the
Secret Key code of the SKREEM, it is permanently stored in the memory of the transponder. Therefore, once a
Sentry Key has been programmed to a particular vehicle, it cannot be used on any other vehicle (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY/TRANSPONDER KEY - STANDARD PROCEDURE - TRANSPONDER
PROGRAMMING).
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position, and will store key-related
fault information in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in SKREEM memory if a Sentry Key transponder
problem is detected. The Sentry Key transponder chip can be diagnosed, and any stored DTC can be retrieved
using a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
SENTRY KEY TRANSPONDER PROGRAMMING
All Sentry Keys included with the vehicle are pre-programmed to work with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) when it is shipped from the factory. The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) can be programmed
to recognize up to a total of eight Sentry Keys. When programming a blank Sentry Key transponder, the key must
first be cut to match the ignition switch lock cylinder in the vehicle for which it will be used. Once the additional or
new key has been cut, the SKREEM must be programmed to recognize it as a valid key. There are two possible
WK VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY - SERVICE INFORMATION 8Q - 93

methods to program the SKREEM to recognize a new or additional valid key, the Secured Access Method and the
Customer Learn Method. Following are the details of these two programming methods.

SECURED ACCESS METHOD


The Secured Access method applies to all vehicles. This method requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. This
method will also require that you have access to the unique four-digit PIN code that was assigned to the original
SKREEM. The PIN code must be used to enter the Secured Access Mode in the SKREEM. This PIN number may
be obtained from the vehicle owner, from the original vehicle invoice, or from the DaimlerChrysler Customer Center.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information for the proper Secured Access method programming procedures.

CUSTOMER LEARN METHOD


The Customer Learn feature is only available on domestic vehicles, or those vehicles which have a U.S. country
code designator. This programming method also requires access to at least two valid Sentry Keys. If two valid Sen-
try Keys are not available, or if the vehicle does not have a U.S. country code designator, the Secured Access
Method must be used to program new or additional valid keys to the SKREEM. The Customer Learn programming
method procedures are as follows:
1. Obtain the blank Sentry Key(s) that are to be programmed as valid keys for the vehicle. Cut the blank key(s) to
match the ignition switch lock cylinder mechanical key codes.
2. Insert one of the two valid Sentry Keys into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the On position.
3. After the ignition switch has been in the On position for longer than three seconds, but no more than fifteen
seconds, cycle the ignition switch back to the Off position. Replace the first valid Sentry Key in the ignition switch
lock cylinder with the second valid Sentry Key and turn the ignition switch back to the On position. The second
valid Sentry Key must be inserted in the lock cylinder within fifteen seconds of removing the first valid key.
4. About ten seconds after the completion of Step 3, the security indicator in the instrument cluster will start to flash
to indicate that the system has entered the Customer Learn programming mode.
5. Within sixty seconds of entering the Customer Learn programming mode, turn the ignition switch to the Off posi-
tion, replace the valid Sentry Key with a blank Sentry Key transponder, and turn the ignition switch back to the
On position.
6. About ten seconds after the completion of Step 5, the security indicator will stop flashing, stay on solid for three
seconds, then turn off to indicate that the blank Sentry Key has been successfully programmed. The SKIS will
immediately exit the Customer Learn programming mode. After the ignition is cycled the vehicle may be started
using the newly programmed valid Sentry Key.
Each of these steps must be repeated and completed in their entirety for each additional Sentry Key that is to be
programmed. If the above steps are not completed in the given sequence, or within the allotted time, the SKREEM
will exit the Customer Learn programming mode and the programming will be unsuccessful. The SKREEM will also
automatically exit the Customer Learn programming mode if it sees a non-blank Sentry Key transponder when it
should see a blank, if it has already programmed eight (8) valid Sentry Keys, or if the ignition switch is turned to the
Off position for more than about fifty seconds.

NOTE: If an attempt is made to start the vehicle while in the Customer Learn mode (security indicator flash-
ing), the SKIS will respond as though the vehicle were being started with an invalid key. In other words, the
engine will stall after about two seconds of operation. No faults will be set.

NOTE: Once a Sentry Key has been programmed as a valid key to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed as a
valid key for use on any other vehicle.

VTSS/SKIS INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) / Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) indicator is standard equipment on
all instrument clusters, but is only functional on vehicles equipped with the optional VTSS/SKIS. The amber VTSS/
SKIS indicator is located to the right of the tachometer.
8Q - 94 VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

OPERATION
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) / Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) indicator gives an indication to
the vehicle operator of the status of the VTSS/SKIS. This lamp is controlled the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon messages received by the cluster from the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) over the Con-
troller Area Network (CAN) data bus. The VTSS/SKIS indicator lamp receives battery current on the instrument clus-
ter circuit board through the fused ignition switch output (st-run) circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the On or
Start positions. The lamp only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor.
The instrument cluster will turn on the SKIS indicator lamp for the following reasons:
• Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position, the SKREEM tells the cluster to illumi-
nate the lamp for about three seconds.
• SKIS Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives a SKIS lamp-on message from the SKREEM, the
lamp will be illuminated. The lamp can be flashed on and off, or illuminated solid, as dictated by the message
from the SKREEM. For more information on the SKIS and the SKIS lamp control parameters, (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY - OPERATION - SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM). The
lamp remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the SKREEM or until the ignition
switch is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.
• Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test with the scan tool, the lamp will be
turned on for the duration of the test to confirm the functionality of the lamp and the cluster.
The SKREEM performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position to decide whether the
system is in good operating condition. The SKREEM then sends a message to the instrument cluster. If the SKIS
indicator fails to light during the bulb test, refer to the appropriate diagnostic information. If the instrument cluster
turns on the VTSS/SKIS indicator after the bulb test, either solid or flashing, it indicates that a SKIS malfunction has
occurred or that the VTSS/SKIS is inoperative. For proper diagnosis of the SKIS, the CAN data bus, or the message
inputs to the instrument cluster that control the VTSS/SKIS indicator lamp, a scan tool and the appropriate diag-
nostic information are required.
