Vehicle Theft Security System

The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) includes various features that protect against unauthorized vehicle access and operation. VTSS is comprised of two primary subsystems: Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) and the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA). Additional details of each of these subsystems and their components can be found elsewhere within this service information.

The Sentry Key transponders rely upon Radio Frequency (RF) communication, hardwired circuitry that connects the VTA and SKIS components to the vehicle's electrical system. These hardwired circuits are integral to several wire harnesses routed throughout the vehicle and retained by many different methods. The wiring is connected to the vehicle electrical system, the SKIS, VTA components through the use of a combination of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many different types of wire harness terminal connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

The wiring information includes appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS, proper wire and connector repair procedures, further details on wire harness routing and retention, pinout, and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices, and grounds.
