Wireless Ignition Node Receiver - Operation

OPERATION

Following are brief descriptions of the systems that the WIN controls.

IGNITION SWITCH

The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) incorporates an integral ignition switch that consists of four rotary positions with three detent positions and one spring-loaded position. The one extreme clockwise position shall be spring-loaded momentary contact "START" position. When released from the "START" position, the switch shall automatically return to the detent "ON" position. The other position include a detent "ACCESSORY" position and a detent"LOCK" position.

The WIN reads the position of the ignition switch and transmits via vehicle bus. These positions include "LOCK" with ignition key-out, "LOCK" with ignition key-in, "ACCESSORY", "RUN" and "START".

SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (SKIS)

Upon failure of proper Sentry Key Immobilizer (SKIS) communication to the Powertrain Control Module, (PCM), the PCM will shut off fuel after two seconds of run time. The engine will not re-crank on the key cycle during which the failure occurred. A full key down sequence must be performed for the engine to crank again Vehicle Theft Security System - Operation.

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)

The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), transmitter uses radio frequency signals to communicate with the WIN across can bus. Power Locks - Operation

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM)

The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system uses radio and sensor technology to monitor tire air pressure levels. Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) - Operation.

REMOTE START WITH/EXTENDED RANGE ANTENNA

Further information concerning the Remote Start System can be located in system 8, Starting System Description and Operation

BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK (BTSI)

The Brake Transmission Shifter/Ignition Interlock (BTSI) is controlled by the WIN and prevents the transmission gear shifter from being moved out of PARK without a driver in place. Shift Interlock System - Operation

FOBIK REMOVAL INHIBIT FEATURE

The key removal inhibit solenoid internal to the WIN prevents the FOB with Integrated Key (FOBIK) from being rotated in the ignition switch to the LOCK position for all vehicles with an automatic transmission unless the transmission shift lever is in the PARK position. The WIN module monitors a hard wired input from a switch integral to the automatic transmission shifter module to control this feature. The key removal inhibit solenoid is electronically disabled internally by the WIN on vehicles with a manual transmission.
