Wireless Ignition Node

Wireless Ignition Node

The wireless ignition node controls/contains the following functions:

• Ignition switch.

• Sentry key immobilizer system.

• Remote keyless entry.

• Tire pressure monitoring.

• Brake transmission shift interlock.

• Steering column lock interface.

• Remote start.

Ignition Switch

The 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

Upon failure of proper SKIS communication to the 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

Remote Keyless Entry

The RKE transmitter uses radio frequency signals to communicate with the WIN across can bus.

Tire Pressure Monitoring

The TPM system uses radio and sensor technology to monitor tire air pressure levels.

Remote Start with/Extended Range Antenna

Further information concerning the remote start system can be located in.

Brake Transmission Shift Interlock

The BTSI is controlled by the WIN and prevents the transmission gear shift from being moved out of park without a driver in place.

FOBIK Removal Inhibit Feature

The key removal inhibit solenoid internal to the WIN prevents the fob with integrated key 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.
