least one and no more than four key fob transmit-
ters.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

DECK LID RELEASE RELAY

The Deck Lid Release circuit works in conjunction
with the BCM to prevent unwanted operation after
the Vehicle Theft Security System is set. The VTSS
portion of the BCM will also disable the Universal
Transmitter (garage door opener). The relay is ener-
gized from either the deck lid release switch or from
the BCM from a signal from the Remote RKE fob
transmitter.

TRANSMITTER BATTERY

The transmitter has two 3 volt batteries, which can
be removed and replaced without special tools. The
battery is available at local retail stores. Recom-
mended battery is CR2016 Panasonic or equivalent.
Battery life is about one to two years.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

DECK LID RELEASE RELAY TEST

RELAY TEST
The deck lid release relay is located on the right
side of the brake pedal mounting bracket (Fig. 2).
Remove the starter relay from mounting bracket to
perform the following tests:
(1) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and
no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 2. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(2) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (elec-
tromagnet) should be 75
3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Connect a battery B+ lead to terminals 86 and
a ground lead to terminal 85 to energize the relay.
5 ohms. If OK, go to Step

The relay should click. Also test for continuity
between terminals 30 and 87, and no continuity
between terminals 87A and 30. If OK, refer to Relay
Circuit Test procedure. If not OK, replace the faulty
relay.

RELAY CIRCUIT TEST
(1) The relay common feed terminal cavity (30) is
connected to battery voltage and should be hot at all
times. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the open
circuit to the circuit breaker as required.
(2) The relay normally open terminal (87) is con-
nected to the common feed (movable contact) termi-
nal (30) in the energized position. This terminal
