INTRUSION MODULE
DESCRIPTION
An intrusion module (1) is part of the premium version of the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) in the
Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS). The premium version of the VTA is only available in
vehicles built for certain markets, where the additional features offered by this system are required.
This unit is designed to work in conjunction with the intrusion sensor transmitter and intrusion
sensor receiver to provide interior motion detection and serves as the interface between the
Forward Control Module (FCM), the Electromechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) and the alarm
siren. The intrusion module has two integral mounts (2) that secure the module. Concealed within
the molded plastic housing is the circuitry of the module, which includes a microprocessor.
The intrusion module (2) is secured within a cavity on the right side of a molded plastic
intermediate step assembly (1) located on the rear floor panel under the second row seat cushion
by two slots and two latch features integral to the floor of the step cavity The module is concealed
beneath a carpeted trim cover secured by hook and loop fasteners over the step cavity. The
inboard side of this step cavity also contains the satellite radio receiver (4) on vehicles that are so
equipped. The module is connected through an integral connector receptacle to the vehicle
electrical system by a take out and connector of the body wire harness (3).
The intrusion module unit cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, it must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the intrusion module contains the motion detection logic circuits and controls
all of the features of the premium version of the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA). The module uses
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communicate with other modules in the vehicle as well as
with a diagnostic scan tool using the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. This method of
communication is used by the module to communicate with the Forward Control Module (FCM) and
the Electromechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC). The module also communicates with the alarm
siren over a dedicated serial bus circuit.

The intrusion module microprocessor continuously monitors inputs from the intrusion sensor
transmitter and receiver as well as inputs from the EMIC and the alarm siren module. The module
energizes the intrusion sensor transmitter, which transmits ultrasonic signals into the vehicle cabin
through a transmit transducer, then monitors the current draw of the transmitter to detect problems
with the transmitter and transmitter circuits. The module also energizes the intrusion sensor
receiver, which listens to the ultrasonic signals through a receive transducer as they bounce off of
objects in the vehicle interior, then monitors the current draw of the receiver for data signals and to
detect problems with the receiver and receiver circuits. If an object is moving in the interior, a
detection circuit in the module senses this movement through the modulation of the returning data
signals from the receiver.
If movement is detected, the intrusion module sends an electronic message to the FCM over the
CAN data bus to flash the exterior lighting and sends another message to the alarm siren module
over the dedicated serial bus line to sound the siren. When the EMIC or FCM detect a breach in
the perimeter protection through a door, liftgate, flip-up glass, or hood ajar switch input, they send
an electronic message to the intrusion module and the module sends a message to the FCM to
flash the exterior lighting and a message to the alarm siren module to sound the siren. The module
also monitors message inputs from the alarm siren module for siren battery or siren input/output
circuit tamper alerts, and siren battery condition alerts, then sets active and stored Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTC) for any monitored system faults it detects. An active fault only remains for the
current ignition switch cycle, while a stored fault causes a DTC to be stored in memory by the
module. If a fault does not recur for 50 ignition cycles, the module will automatically erase the
stored DTC.
The intrusion module receives battery voltage on a fused B(+) circuit through a fuse in the Junction
Block (JB), and is grounded at all times through a hard wired remote ground point. These
connections allow the module to remain operational, regardless of the ignition switch position. The
hard wired inputs and outputs for the module may be diagnosed and tested using conventional
diagnostic tools and procedures. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove
conclusive in the diagnosis of the intrusion module, the CAN data bus, or the electronic message
inputs to and outputs from the module. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the intrusion module, the CAN data bus, and the electronic message inputs to and
outputs from the module requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool.

Ignition Shut Down Relay (For Antitheft): Description and Operation
RELAY-AUTO SHUT DOWN
DESCRIPTION
The 5-pin, 12-volt, Automatic Shutdown (ASD) relay is located in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC). Refer to label on PDC cover for relay location.
OPERATION
PCM OUTPUT
The ASD relay supplies battery voltage (12+ volts) to the fuel injectors and ignition coil(s). With
certain emissions packages it also supplies 12 volts to the oxygen sensor heating elements.
The ground circuit for the coil within the ASD relay is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM operates the ASD relay by switching its ground circuit on and off.
The ASD relay will be shut down, meaning the 12 volt power supply to the ASD relay will be
de-activated by the PCM if:
- The ignition key is left in the ON position. This is if the engine has not been running for
approximately 1.8 seconds.
- There is a crankshaft position sensor signal to the PCM that is lower than pre-determined values.
ASD SENSE - PCM INPUT
A 12 volt signal at this input indicates to the PCM that the ASD has been activated. The relay is
used to connect the oxygen sensor heater element, ignition coil and fuel injectors to 12 volt +
power supply.
This input is used only to sense that the ASD relay is energized. If the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) does not see 12 volts at this input when the ASD should be activated, it will set a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC).

MODULE-SENTRY KEY REMOTE ENTRY
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (4) 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) system and the Tire
Pressure Monitor (TPM) system. The SKREEM is located in the instrument panel, just to the right
of the steering column near the ignition lock cylinder housing and is concealed beneath the
instrument panel trim. The molded black plastic housing for the SKREEM has an integral molded
plastic halo-like antenna ring (3) that extends from one side. When the SKREEM is properly
installed, the antenna ring is oriented around the circumference of the ignition lock cylinder
housing.
A single integral connector receptacle (1) is located next to the antenna ring on the SKREEM
housing. An integral molded plastic mounting tab (2) on the SKREEM housing has a hole in the
center through which a screw passes to secure the unit to the instrument panel. The SKREEM is
connected to the vehicle electrical system through a single take out and connector of the
instrument panel wire harness.
The SKREEM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire SKREEM unit
must be replaced.
OPERATION
Page 19
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver
and a microprocessor. 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 and, if the vehicle is so
equipped, the receiver for the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system. The SKREEM
communicates over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus with the Electromechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC), the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or the diagnostic scan tool. On
vehicles equipped with an export premium version of the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS),
the SKREEM also serves as a translator module and has bi-directional communication with the
shaft lock module over a dedicated serial bus.
The SKREEM retains in memory the ID numbers of any Sentry Key transponder that is
programmed into it. A maximum 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 Immobilizer
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 transponder 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
Page 20

Jeep Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Accessories and Optional Equipment > Keyless
Entry Module > Component Information > Locations > Page 23
Page 21
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, 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 or the SKIS has become
inoperative, the security indicator will stay on solid. If the SKREEM detects an invalid key or if a key
transponder- related fault exists, the security indicator will flash. If the vehicle is equipped with the
Customer Learn transponder 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.
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, and will
store fault information 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.

- On vehicles equipped with a premium Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system, when the
SKREEM or the spare tire pressure sensor is replaced with a new unit, a diagnostic scan tool
MUST be used to run a routine that allows the SKREEM to be programmed with the ID number and
location of the spare tire pressure sensor mounted in the wheel of the spare tire. Follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID under
Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM/Wireless Control Module menu item as appropriate. In
addition, if the SKREEM is replaced, the spare tire must be dismounted from its wheel to access
and note the ID number on the spare tire pressure sensor so that the ID code for that sensor can
be programmed into the new SKREEM.

Parking Assist Control Module: Description and Operation
MODULE-PARK ASSIST
DESCRIPTION
The Park Assist Module (5) is secured within a cavity on the left side of a molded plastic
intermediate step assembly (4) located on the rear floor panel (3) under the second row seat
cushion. The module is concealed beneath a carpeted trim cover secured by hook and loop
fasteners over the step cavity. The inboard side of this cavity also contains the Final Drive Control
Module (FDCM) (1) on vehicles that are so equipped. Both modules are connected to the vehicle
electrical system through dedicated take outs and connectors of the underbody wire harness (2).
Concealed within the molded plastic park assist module housing (1) is a microprocessor and the
other electronic circuitry of the module. The module housing is sealed to enclose and protect the
internal electronic circuitry. The module software is flash programmable.
There are four mounting tabs (2 & 3) integral to the module housing that secure the module through
two slots and two latch features integral to the floor of the step cavity. Two connector receptacles
(4) containing terminal pins that connect the module to the vehicle electrical system are integral to
the one side of the housing. One of the receptacles is utilized in vehicles equipped with only the
rear park assist system, while both receptacles are used on vehicles equipped with both the front
and the rear park assist system.
The park assist module cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if damaged or ineffective, it must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the park assist module contains the park assist system logic circuits. The
module uses On- Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communicate with other electronic modules in
the vehicle as well as with the diagnostic scan tool using the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus. This method of communication is also used for park assist system diagnosis and testing
through the 16-way data link connector located on the driver side lower edge of the instrument
panel.

Page 32
The module provides voltage to each of the park assist sensors located behind the front and rear
bumper fascias and to the front and rear park assist displays. The module then monitors return
inputs from each of the sensors and the displays on dedicated hard wired data communication
circuits. The sensor inputs allow the module to determine when an obstacle is in the front or rear
path of the vehicle and enables the module to calculate the relative location of the obstacle, and
whether the distance to that obstacle is increasing or decreasing.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms and calibration allow the module microprocessor to determine
the appropriate park assist system outputs based upon the inputs received from the park assist
sensors and electronic messages received from other modules in the vehicle over the CAN data
bus. When the programmed conditions are met the module sends electronic messages to the park
assist displays over a dedicated serial bus to obtain the proper park assist system visual and
audible outputs. The module also broadcasts electronic messages over the CAN data bus to
enable the other electronic features of the park assist system.
The park assist module microprocessor continuously monitors all of the park assist system
electrical circuits and components to determine the system readiness. If the module detects a
monitored system fault, it sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and sends the appropriate
electronic messages to the instrument cluster over the CAN data bus to control operation of certain
park assist system audible warnings and textual messages displayed in the cluster reconfigurable
display.
The park assist module receives battery current on a fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit
through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB). The module receives ground through a ground circuit and
take out of the underbody wire harness. These connections allow the module to be operational
whenever the ignition switch is in the START or ON positions.
The hard wired inputs and outputs for the park assist system may be diagnosed and tested using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the park assist module, the CAN data bus, or the electronic
message inputs to and outputs from the module. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the module, the CAN data bus and the electronic message inputs to and outputs from
the module requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool.

Keyless Entry Module: Description and Operation
MODULE-SENTRY KEY REMOTE ENTRY
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (4) 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) system and the Tire
Pressure Monitor (TPM) system. The SKREEM is located in the instrument panel, just to the right
of the steering column near the ignition lock cylinder housing and is concealed beneath the
instrument panel trim. The molded black plastic housing for the SKREEM has an integral molded
plastic halo-like antenna ring (3) that extends from one side. When the SKREEM is properly
installed, the antenna ring is oriented around the circumference of the ignition lock cylinder
housing.
A single integral connector receptacle (1) is located next to the antenna ring on the SKREEM
housing. An integral molded plastic mounting tab (2) on the SKREEM housing has a hole in the
center through which a screw passes to secure the unit to the instrument panel. The SKREEM is
connected to the vehicle electrical system through a single take out and connector of the
instrument panel wire harness.
The SKREEM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire SKREEM unit
must be replaced.
OPERATION
Page 73
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver
and a microprocessor. 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 and, if the vehicle is so
equipped, the receiver for the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system. The SKREEM
communicates over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus with the Electromechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC), the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or the diagnostic scan tool. On
vehicles equipped with an export premium version of the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS),
the SKREEM also serves as a translator module and has bi-directional communication with the
shaft lock module over a dedicated serial bus.
The SKREEM retains in memory the ID numbers of any Sentry Key transponder that is
programmed into it. A maximum 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 Immobilizer
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 transponder 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
Page 74

Jeep Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Keyless Entry Module >
Component Information > Locations > Page 73
Page 75
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, 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 or the SKIS has become
inoperative, the security indicator will stay on solid. If the SKREEM detects an invalid key or if a key
transponder- related fault exists, the security indicator will flash. If the vehicle is equipped with the
Customer Learn transponder 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.
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, and will
store fault information 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.

NOTE:
- On vehicles equipped with the optional Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS), when the
SKREEM is replaced with a new unit, a diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to initialize the new
SKREEM and to program at least two Sentry Key transponders before the vehicle can be operated.
- On vehicles equipped with a premium Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system, when the
SKREEM or the spare tire pressure sensor is replaced with a new unit, a diagnostic scan tool
MUST be used to run a routine that allows the SKREEM to be programmed with the ID number and
location of the spare tire pressure sensor mounted in the wheel of the spare tire. Follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID under
Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM/Wireless Control Module menu item as appropriate. In
addition, if the SKREEM is replaced, the spare tire must be dismounted from its wheel to access
and note the ID number on the spare tire pressure sensor so that the ID code for that sensor can
be programmed into the new SKREEM.

(DDM) and Passenger Door Modules (PDM)) within the memory system. One is located in the
driver door and one in the passenger door, just behind the door trim panel. The modules send a
bus message to the power mirrors to adjust them to a preset position when a memory recall
request has been made.
The memory mirror modules also act as an interface in each door for electrical functions (door lock
switches and door ajar switches).
The Memory System makes available for immediate recall personalized preferences of the
following:
- Automatic temperature control settings.
- Outside mirror positions.
- Power adjustable brake and accelerator pedal position.
- Power seat horizontal, vertical, recliner, and easy entry positions.
- Radio push button station selections.
The major components of the Memory System are:
- Memory Selector Switch - located in the driver door trim panel.
Page 84
- Driver Memory Mirror Module (DMMM) - located in the driver door, behind the trim panel.
- Passenger Memory Mirror Module (PMMM) - located in the passenger door, behind the trim
panel.
- Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) - located at ignition key cylinder.
- Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter - located with ignition key.
- Memory Seat Module (MSM) - located underneath the driver seat and also controls the Adjustable
Pedals.
- Radio - located in the instrument panel center stack.
- Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) - located in the instrument panel center stack.
The memory recall is available at the press of a button on the drivers door trim panel or, by using
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter if it is programmed to trigger the recall.
Radio settings include up to 20 push button presets (10 AM and 10 FM), and the last station
selection, even if it is not one of the 20 preset selections.
OPERATION
The memory mirror module receives input from the door lock switches and sends that message to
the cluster for door lock operation (vehicles equipped with memory system only). It also controls
the mirror adjustment by receiving input from the mirror switch on the door trim panel. Sensors in
the mirrors act as inputs to the memory mirror module in order to position the mirrors to presets by
the driver(s). The power supply to the mirrors is supplied by the mirror memory modules. On
vehicles equipped with a memory system, the front door ajar switches are inputs to the memory
mirror module. The modules use this information for door lock inhibit etc.
A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory "1" or "2"
button within 5 seconds of pressing the "set" button.
A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory "1" or "2" button, or by pressing the
unlock button on a "linked" Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
For driver safety, memorized settings can not be recalled if the transmission is in a position other
than Park or the seat belt is latched.

DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The scan tool standardization process must be performed on the Memory Seat Module
(MSM) any time a new module is installed or the existing module is reflashed.
The Memory Seat Module (MSM) is located underneath the driver seat, towards the front and on
the outboard side. It is used in conjunction with the other modules in the memory system to recall
the driver seat to one of two preset seat positions (horizontal, vertical, and recliner). The switch for
the memory seat programming and selection mounts on the driver door trim panel. The memory
system is able to store and recall all driver side power seat positions, outside mirror positions and
power adjustable pedal position. The system can be set for two different drivers. On vehicles with a
factory installed radio connected to the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus network, the
memory system is also able to store and recall up to twelve radio station presets (six AM and six
FM), also for two drivers. The memory system will also store and recall the last station listened to
for each driver, even if it is not one of the twelve preset stations.
The memory system will automatically recall all of these settings when a button of the memory
switch is depressed, or when the doors are unlocked using the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter (if the "RKE Linked to Memory" feature is enabled). If the vehicle has more than two
drivers the RKE transmitter recall of memory features can be disabled. This is a customer
programmable feature of the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
OPERATION
Page 88
The Memory Seat Module (MSM) receives battery current through a 25 amp circuit breaker in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC) so that the memory system remains operational, regardless of the
ignition switch position. When the driver memory switch button is pushed, a resistance signal is
sent to the MSM via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus circuit. The MSM is responsible for the
12v battery feed and ground path to the power seat adjuster motor and other memory system
components.
The MSM receives memory set/position switch input through the CAN bus circuit. The MSM also
receives hard wired input from the hall effect sensors, mounted on each of the driver power seat
adjuster motors and the driver side view mirror motor. The programmed software in the module
allows it to know where the seat and adjustable pedals are located in its designed travel by a pulse
count generated from the hall effect sensors. This way, when the memory switch is depressed the
module will power these components until the correct preset location is achieved. The module will
prevent the seat memory recall function from being initiated, if the transmission gear selector lever
is not in the Park position, or if the vehicle is moving. These inputs are monitored over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) bus circuit by the MSM.
A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory "1" or "2"
button within 5 seconds of pressing the "set" button.
A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory "1" or "2" button, or by pressing the
unlock button on a "linked" Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
For driver safety, memorized settings can not be recalled if the transmission is in a position other
than Park or the seat belt is latched.
The MSM performs the following functions:
- Positions the driver power seat (vertical, horizontal, and recliner positions).
- Positions the power adjustable pedals.
- Sends the memory save or recall (number 1 or number 2) command over the CAN data bus
circuit to the other memory system components, radio station pre-sets and power mirror positions.

- Provides for "linking" the key FOBs to memory.
- Provides for the easy entry/exit feature.
When a memory button is pressed (number 1 or number 2) on the memory switch, the Driver Door
Module (DDM) sends a recall message to the MSM. The MSM will then position the memory
system components to the preprogrammed location/setting. When the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) Transmitter button is pressed, depending on which transmitter (number 1 or number 2), the
SKREEM (RKE Receiver) sends the recall request and FOB number (number 1 or number 2) data
message. This RKE transmitter function depends on if the MSM is programmed to trigger the recall
(linked FOBs).
A key FOB is "linked" to a memory setting by pressing the "set" button and then pressing either the
memory "1" or "2" button within 5 seconds of pressing the set button, then by pressing the "lock"
button on the selected key FOB. The memory system "Easy Entry and /Exit" feature provides the
driver with more room to enter or exit the vehicle. When the seat is in a memorized position, it will
move rearward 55 millimeters or to the end of its travel, whichever occurs first, when the key is
removed from the ignition switch lock cylinder. This is a customer programmable feature of the
overhead console. The seat will return to the memory position when the driver turns the vehicle's
ignition switch out of the LOCK position.
The memory system "learns" the seat and adjustable pedal motor maximum end positions when
the motor reaches the limit of travel in any direction and stalls. Subsequently, movement will stop
just short of that position to avoid extra stress on the motors and mechanisms. If the system
learned a maximum position as a result of an obstruction, as for instance if a large object was
placed on the floor behind the seat, the system can relearn the "true" maximum position through
manually operating the power seat after the obstruction is removed.
NOTE: It is normal for the power accessories contained in the memory system to stop at the
maximum "learned" position and then continue to the "true" maximum position when the control
switch is released and then applied in the same direction a second time.
Certain functions and features of the memory system rely upon resources shared with other
electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. The CAN bus allows
the sharing of sensor information. This helps to reduce wire harness complexity, internal controller
hardware, and component sensor current loads. At the same time, this system provides increased
reliability, enhanced diagnostics, and allows the addition of many new feature capabilities. For
diagnosis of these electronic modules or of the CAN bus, the use of a scan tool and the proper
diagnostic information are needed.

In order to obtain conclusive testing of the memory system, the Controller Area Network (CAN)
data bus, and all of the electronic modules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from the
memory system components must be checked. Any diagnosis of the memory system/module
should begin with, the use of a scan tool.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information for complete circuit schematic or connector pin-out
information.
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with the memory/heated seat option utilize a low voltage cut-off feature.
This feature turns off the 12v power to the power seat system anytime vehicle voltage is below
11.7v. Be certain to check the vehicle electrical system for proper voltage anytime the power seat
system appears inoperative.
Before any testing of the power seat system is attempted, the battery should be fully-charged.
