8Q - 2 VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
SYSTEM SELF-TESTS
A diagnostics test mode is available in the system
to verify operation of all monitored switches or cir-
cuits. To enter diagnostics mode, use a scan tool
(DRB) and Body Diagnostic Procedure Manual.
The horn will pulse twice to indicate that the
trunk key cylinder is in its proper position. Placing
the key in the ignition will allow the warning lamp,
headlamps and interior lamps to be checked for
proper flashing operation. If any door is open the
interior lamps will not flash. Remove the ignition key
from the ignition switch in order to check for door
lock cylinder switch operation. At the completion of
each of the following operations, a horn pulse will
occur to indicate proper operation. Each action must
be separated by a minimum of one second or horn
pulse will not occur.
• Activate the power door locks in both the lock
and unlock positions.
• Open then close each door one at a time.
• Rotate the ignition key in each of the door lock
cylinders to the lock and unlock positions.
• Cycle the ignition switch key to the ON position
as the last step. A single horn pulse will indicate
proper operation of the ignition switch. This will also
take the system out of the stand alone diagnostic
mode.
The self diagnostic mode may also be exited by
using the scan tool.
Activating the Remote Keyless Entry System
(RKE) to exercise any of the above inputs will also
cause the horn to pulse. When the RKE lock button
is pressed, the RKE module itself will also pulse the
horn. This is part of the RKE normal operation.
