Vehicle Theft Security System/Remote Keyless Entry

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) / Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS)
Only the highline and premium CTMs have provision for RKE and VTSS. The VTSS system monitors the jamb switches and ignition switch to detect unauthorized entry. Once the system is armed, any one of these inputs can cause the system to initiate an alarm. When in alarm, the low beam headlamps and horn will pulse for about three minutes. If the engine is started, it will immediately stall. If the triggering condition remains, the headlamps will pulse for an additional 15 minutes, but the engine cannot be made to run until the system is disarmed. If the triggering condition is restored, the system will reset and return to the armed state. If the system has rearmed itself, it will sound three horn chirps as a tamper alert when the system is disarmed. The CTM will store the last four causes of a VTSS alarm. The causes can be retrieved by the DRB III (R).

The VTSS system can be disarmed by unlocking the doors with the RKE transmitter or with a door key at either door.

A VTSS indicator in the overhead console will blink rapidly during system arming, slowly when armed and remain ON to indicate a system fault.

The RKE system is programmed by the DRB III (R). The system will store up to four key fob codes Using the DRB III (R), it is possible to program one code without deleting the others. All stored key fob codes can be erased and reprogrammed to prevent unauthorized entry with lost or stolen key fobs.
