INTRODUCTION
The Vehi cl e Theft Securi ty System (VTSS) i s an
avai l abl e factory-i nstal l ed opti on on thi s model . Thi s
system i s desi gned to provi de peri meter protecti on
agai nst unauthori zed use or tamperi ng by moni tori ng
the vehi cl e doors, l i ftgate, and i gni ti on system. I f
unauthori zed use or tamperi ng i s detected, the sys-
tem responds by soundi ng the horn, fl ashi ng the
exteri or l amps, and provi di ng an engi ne no-run fea-

vehi cl e wi th the key i n ei ther front door l ock cyl i nder
or usi ng the Remote Keyl ess Entry (RKE) transmi t-

Fol l owi ng are some general descri pti ons of the fea-
tures of the VTSS. Refer to the vehi cl e owners man-
ual for addi ti onal i nformati on on the use and
operati on of thi s system. Refer to 8W-39 - Vehi cl e

ENABLING
The Vehi cl e Theft Securi ty System (VTSS) features
are provi ded by two el ectroni c modul es i n the vehi cl e;
the Powertrai n Control Modul e (PCM) l ocated i n the
engi ne compartment, and the Body Control Modul e
(BCM) l ocated i n the passenger compartment. Both
of these modul es must have thei r respecti ve VTSS
functi ons el ectroni cal l y enabl ed i n order for the
VTSS to perform as desi gned.
The VTSS engi ne no-run feature i s di sabl ed when
i t i s shi pped from the factory. Thi s i s done by pro-
grammi ng wi thi n the Powertrai n Control Modul e
(PCM). The l ogi c i n the PCM prevents the VTSS
engi ne no-run feature from armi ng unti l the engi ne
start counter wi thi n the PCM sees twenty engi ne
starts. The VTSS no-run feature must be enabl ed
when the vehi cl e i s recei ved from the assembl y pl ant.
The preferred method for enabl i ng the VTSS

ARMING
Passi ve armi ng of the Vehi cl e Theft Securi ty Sys-
tem (VTSS) occurs when the vehi cl e i s exi ted wi th
the key removed from the i gni ti on swi tch, the head-
l amps are turned off, and the doors are l ocked usi ng
the power l ock swi tch. The power l ock swi tch wi l l not
functi on i f the key i s i n the i gni ti on swi tch or the
headl amps are on wi th the dri ver si de front door
open. The VTSS wi l l not arm i f ei ther front door or
the l i ftgate are l ocked usi ng the key i n the l ock cyl -
i nder or usi ng the mechani cal l ock button.
Acti ve armi ng of the VTSS occurs when the
Remote Keyl ess Entry (RKE) transmi tter i s used to
l ock the vehi cl e, even i f the doors and/or the l i ftgate
are open when the RKE transmi tter Lock button i s
depressed. However, the VTSS armi ng wi l l not be
compl ete unti l al l of the doors and the l i ftgate are
cl osed.
Fol l owi ng successful passi ve or acti ve VTSS arm-
i ng, the VTSS set l amp on the top of the i nstrument
panel wi l l fl ash rapi dl y for about fi fteen seconds after
the i l l umi nated entry system ti mes out. Thi s i ndi -
cates that VTSS armi ng i s i n progress. Once the fi f-
teen second armi ng functi on i s successful l y
compl eted, the set l amp wi l l fl ash at a sl ower rate to
i ndi cate that the VTSS i s armed.
DISARMING
Passi ve di sarmi ng of the Vehi cl e Theft Securi ty
System (VTSS) occurs when the vehi cl e i s unl ocked
usi ng the key to unl ock ei ther front door or the l i ft-
gate. Acti ve di sarmi ng of the VTSS occurs when the
vehi cl e i s unl ocked by depressi ng the Unl ock button
of the Remote Keyl ess Entry (RKE) transmi tter.
Once the al arm has been acti vated (horn soundi ng,
exteri or l amps fl ashi ng, and the engi ne no-run fea-
ture), ei ther di sarmi ng method wi l l al so deacti vate
the al arm.
Depressi ng the Pani c button on the RKE transmi t-
ter wi l l al so di sarm the VTSS, but the horn wi l l
sound and the exteri or l amps wi l l fl ash for about
three mi nutes as part of the Pani c feature functi on.
Refer to Group 8P - Power Lock Systems for more
i nformati on on the Pani c feature.
POWER-UP MODE
When the armed Vehi cl e Theft Securi ty System
(VTSS) senses that the battery has been di sconnected
and reconnected, i t enters i ts power-up mode. I n the
power-up mode the al arm system remai ns armed fol -
l owi ng a battery fai l ure or di sconnect. I f the VTSS
was armed pri or to a battery di sconnect or fai l ure,
the system wi l l have to be acti vel y or passi vel y di s-
armed after the battery i s reconnected.
The power-up mode wi l l al so appl y i f the battery
goes dead whi l e the system i s armed, and battery
jump-starti ng i s attempted. The engi ne no-run fea-
ture wi l l prevent the engi ne from starti ng unti l the
al arm system has been acti vel y or passi vel y di s-
armed.
TAMPER ALERT
The Vehi cl e Theft Securi ty System (VTSS) tamper
al ert wi l l sound the horn three ti mes upon di sarm-
i ng, i f the al arm was acti vated and has si nce ti med-
out (about ei ghteen mi nutes). Thi s feature al erts the
vehi cl e operator that the VTSS was acti vated whi l e
the vehi cl e was unattended.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
BODY CONTROL MODULE
A Body Control Modul e (BCM) i s used on thi s
model to control and i ntegrate many of the el ectroni c
functi ons and features i ncl uded on the vehi cl e. The
BCM contai ns a central processi ng uni t and i nter-
faces wi th other modul es i n the vehi cl e on the
Chrysl er Col l i si on Detecti on (CCD) data bus network.
The CCD data bus network al l ows the shari ng of
sensor i nformati on. Thi s hel ps to reduce wi re har-
ness compl exi ty, reduce i nternal control l er hardware,
and reduce component sensor current l oads. At the
same ti me, thi s system provi des i ncreased rel i abi l i ty,
enhanced di agnosti cs, and al l ows the addi ti on of
many new feature capabi l i ti es.
One of the functi ons and features that the BCM
supports and control s, i s the Vehi cl e Theft Securi ty
System (VTSS). I n the VTSS, the BCM recei ves CCD
message i nputs from the Passenger Door Modul e
(PDM), whi ch contai ns the Remote Keyl ess Entry
(RKE) recei ver. I n addi ti on to the i nformati on
recei ved on the CCD data bus, the BCM recei ves
hard-wi red i nputs from the door ajar, door l ock cyl i n-
der, i gni ti on, l i ftgate ajar, l i ftgate l ock cyl i nder, and
l i ftgl ass ajar swi tches. The programmi ng i n the BCM
al l ows i t to process the i nformati on from al l of i ts
i nputs and send control outputs to energi ze or de-en-
ergi ze the auto headl amp rel ay, horn rel ay, park
l amp rel ay, Powertrai n Control Modul e (PCM), and
the securi ty set l amp.
The BCM i s mounted under the dri ver si de out-
board end of the i nstrument panel , behi nd the i nstru-
ment panel support armature and bel ow the
outboard swi tch pod. Refer to Group 8E - I nstrument
Panel Systems for the removal and i nstal l ati on pro-
cedures. For di agnosi s of the BCM or the CCD data
bus, the use of a DRB scan tool and the proper Di ag-
nosti c Procedures manual are recommended. The
BCM can onl y be servi ced by an authori zed el ectroni c
repai r stati on. Refer to the l atest Warranty Pol i ci es
and Procedures manual for a current l i sti ng of autho-
ri zed el ectroni c repai r stati ons.
