3.14.9.1

TRAINING THE EVIC

The EVIC can be trained to recognize the source

locations of the Sensor/Transmitter signals. The
training procedure is given below:

1. From the Programmable Features List select

9RETRAIN TIRE SENSORS Y/N9 using the
EVIC MENU button.

Use the STEP button to select and the MENU

button to confirm

9YES9. The EVIC will initiate the

following procedure:

2. A display will prompt the user to:

9TRAIN

DRIVER FRONT SENSOR

9. At this point the

user must set the left front tire Sensor/
Transmitter to learn mode by positioning a mag-
net (Relearn Magnet special tool 8821) over the
valve stem for at least 5 seconds. The Sensor/
Transmitter in the front left tire will transmit a
message indicating to the EVIC that it is in learn
mode. When the EVIC has received this message
and is assured that it has learned an ID, the
EVIC will request a horn chirp via a bus message
and then display the next train request. Note:
The EVIC will allow 60 seconds from the first
train request display to the receipt of a unique
learn

ID

message

from

the

first

Sensor/

Transmitter and 30 seconds for each succeeding
wheel. If either of these timers expires, the EVIC
will abort the training procedure and revert to
previous settings. The EVIC will not store one ID
for multiple locations.

3. The EVIC will request the initiation of a training

sequence for each tire, one-by-one in a clockwise
direction around the vehicle (Left Front, Right
Front, Right Rear, and Left Rear).

NOTE: 1. If one or all Sensor/Transmitters

cannot be trained, move vehicle to
avoid radio frequency interference.

2. If one Sensor/Transmitter still can-

not be trained, replace it and retry.

3. If all Sensor/Transmitters still fail

to train, replace the EVIC.

4. Once all tires are successfully

learned, the previous set of stored
IDs will be replaced by the new IDs,
and

the

EVIC

will

display,

(

TRAINING

COMPLETE

(

until

a

button is pressed.

If the vehicle is equipped with the HomeLink

t

feature and a HomeLink

t button is pressed at any

time during the training procedure, the EVIC mod-
ule will immediately exit the training procedure,
discard any IDs learned in the current session and

perform the HomeLink

t function. After the button

is released, the module will display

9RETRAIN

TIRE SENSORS? NO

9.

The training procedure can be stopped at any

time by pressing the C/T, STEP, RESET, or MENU
button. When any of these buttons are pressed the
EVIC will display

9TRAINING ABORTED9 until

another button is pressed and then display

9RE-

TRAIN TIRE SENSORS? NO

9. Sensor/transmitter

replacement or tire rotation will require retraining
of the EVIC.

3.14.9.2

PRESSURE THRESHOLDS

The EVIC will monitor the tire pressure signals

from the tire Sensor/Transmitters and determine if
any tire has gone below the low pressure threshold
or exceeded the high pressure threshold. Refer to
the table below:

3.14.9.3

CRITICAL AND NON-CRITICAL
SYSTEM ALERTS

CRITICAL:

A critical alert will be triggered when a tire

pressure has gone below or above a set threshold
pressure. The EVIC will request a chime and then
display

9X TIRE(S) LOW PRESSURE9 or 9X

TIRE(S) HIGH PRESSURE

9. 9X9 will be the number

of tires reporting low or high pressure. The message
will display for the duration of the current ignition
cycle or until an EVIC button is pressed. If the
display is removed without correcting the condition,
it will reappear without a chime after 300 seconds
to warn the driver of the low or high-pressure
condition.

NON-CRITICAL:

A non-critical alert with no chime will be trig-

gered when no signal is received from a Sensor/
Transmitter or when a Sensor/Transmitter low bat-
tery condition is detected. The EVIC will display
9SERVICE TIRE PRESS. SYSTEM9.

GENERAL INFORMATION

3.14.9.4

SYSTEM FAULTS

There are two conditions that will cause a Tire

Pressure Monitoring System fault to be set. All fault
codes are associated with a specific wheel location.

1. If the EVIC detects a non-transmitting Sensor/

Transmitter condition, it will:

a. Store an active fault code.
b. Request a chime
c. Display

9SERVICE TIRE PRESS. SYSTEM9.

1. When

the

EVIC

receives

a

Low

Sensor/

Transmitter battery report from a Sensor/
Transmitter, it will:

a. Store an active fault code.
b. Request a chime.
c. Display

9SERVICE TIRE PRESS. SYSTEM9.

Use the DRBIII

t Inputs/Outputs function to fur-

ther isolate the specific concern. The DRBIII

t can

be queried to determine the status and battery
condition for each Sensor/Transmitter.

3.14.9.5

SPARE WHEEL AUTO-DETECT

If the spare tire is mounted on the vehicle, the

EVIC will:

1. Detect the change after 15 minutes at or above

32 km/h (20 mph)

2. Query driver:

9SPARE TIRE IN USE?9 Use the

MENU button for YES, and the STEP button for
NO. For YES, the EVIC will revert to the previ-
ous display and wait five hours. After five hours
the EVIC will proceed as in the NO response
below.

3. For a NO response, after 15 minutes, the EVIC

will display:

9ALL 5 TIRES W/ VEHICLE? Y9

Use the STEP button to select YES or NO, and
the MENU button to confirm.
For a

9YES9 response, the EVIC will display

9SERVICE TIRE PRESS. SYSTEM9.
For a

9NO9 response, the EVIC will revert to

previous display and display

9 ALL 5 TIRES W/

VEHICLE? Y

9 every time the ignition is cycled to

RUN and the missing tire ID is not received.

3.14.9.6

DIAGNOSING AND CLEARING
SYSTEM FAULTS

All Tire Pressure Monitoring System Faults are

specific to one location. If a no-transmit,

9LOW

BATTERY

9, 9LOW or HIGH PRESSURE9 fault is

detected, the location can be determined by the
DRBIII

t. The appropriate Sensor/Transmitter can

then be replaced or the out-of-specification pressure
condition can be corrected.

•

If a single Sensor/Transmitter cannot be detected
by the EVIC, replace that Sensor/Transmitter.

•

If none of the Sensor/Transmitters can be de-
tected, refer to symptoms in the Tire Pressure
Monitor section.

•

If a BUCKET COUNTER test fails, and one or
more Sensor/Transmitters does not transmit, re-
place the affected Sensor/Transmitter.

•

If none of the Sensor/Transmitter causes the
BUCKET COUNTER to advance, replace the
EVIC.

•

If the EVIC displays SERVICE TIRE PRESS.
SYSTEM and the DRBIII

t sees no Sensor/

Transmitter fault or pressure out of specification;

1. Attempt the Retrain procedure. If the display

reoccurs,

2. Replace the EVIC.

3.14.9.7

SYSTEM TEST

A test of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System can

be initiated in the EVIC. The test sequence is as
follows:

1. Perform the RETRAIN TIRE SENSORS proce-

dure.

2. Press and hold the RESET and STEP buttons for

five seconds.

3. The EVIC will display BUCKET COUNTERS.

4. Drive the vehicle at 32 km/h (20 mph) for at least

2 minutes.

5. The counters will increase by one each time a

Sensor/Transmitter signal is received by the
EVIC.

6. Observe that the COUNTERS register at least 3

receptions for each Sensor/Transmitter.

7. Replace any Sensor/Transmitter that does not

meet this specification.

The test will continue until any EVIC button is

pressed or until the ignition is cycled to OFF.

3.15

POWER DOOR LOCK SYSTEM

When the BCM receives input for a lock request

from a door lock switch, RKE or cylinder lock switch
(only with VTSS), it will turn the lock drivers on for
a specified time of 375 msec. If the request is there
beyond 375 msec, the BCM considers the door lock
signal stuck. Once a door lock or unlock signal is
stuck for longer than 10 seconds, the BCM will set
a trouble code and the signal input is ignored until
the stuck condition disappears. The door lock
switches provide a variable amount of resistance
thereby dropping the voltage of the multiplexed
(MUX) circuit and the BCM will respond to that
command.

32

GENERAL INFORMATION

3.15.1

DOOR LOCK INHIBIT

When the key is in the ignition and in any

position and either front door is open, the door lock
switches LOCK functions are disabled. The UN-
LOCK functions are still functional. This protects
against locking the vehicle with the keys still in the
ignition. The RKE key fob will still lock the doors as
usual. After the key is removed from the ignition or
the doors are closed, the power door locks will
operate normally.

3.15.2

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS

This feature can be enabled or disabled by using

either the DRBIII

t or the customer programming

method. When enabled all the doors will lock when
the vehicle reaches a speed greater than 18 MPH
(29 KMH) and all the doors are closed. If a door is
opened and the vehicle slows to below 18 MPH
(29 KMH), the door locks will operate again once all
doors are closed and the speed is above 18 MPH (29
KMH).

3.15.3

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)

The body control module interfaces with the RKE

module via a one-way serial bus interface. The RKE
module is not on the PCI bus. The RKE module
sends a 0-5 volt pulse width signal to the BCM
depending on which button on the transmitter was
pressed. The BCM controls the door lock/unlock
functions and the arming/disarming of the Vehicle
Theft Security System (if equipped) and the activa-
tion of illuminated entry. The BCM will also send
the appropriate messages to the Power Sliding
Doors and Power Liftgate modules. The Intergrated
Power Module (IPM) activates the park lamps,
headlamps, and horn for horn chirp when sent the
appropriate message from the BCM as received
from the RKE transmitter. When a one-button
press is made for unlock, both driver side doors will
unlock and the front and rear turn signals will
flash. When a second press is initiated (within 5
seconds of the first) both passenger doors will
unlock and all four turn signals will flash.

The RKE module is capable of retaining up to 4

individual access codes (4 transmitters). If the
PRNDL is in any position except park, the BCM will
ground the interface thereby disabling the RKE.

Both the 3 and 6 buttons transmitters will have

2-CR2016 batteries in series. The 2-button export
transmitter will have 2-CR2016 batteries in series
also but the 5-button will have one. The minimum
battery life should be approximately 4.7 years
based on 20 transmissions a day at 84°F (25°C).
Using the DRBIII

t and selecting RKE FOB Test

can test the transmitter.

The RKE module can be programmed via the

DRBIII

t or the customer programming method.

The BCM will only allow programming mode to be
entered when the ignition is in the on position, the
PRNDL is in park position, and the VTSS (if
equipped) is in the disarmed mode.

3.16

POWER FOLDING MIRRORS

The power folding mirrors are powered to two

positions: folded and unfolded. The driver may
choose fold or unfold with a switch that is located on
the right side of the steering column. The folding
mirror switch grounds a sense wire that comes from
the Body Control Module when it is placed in the
fold position. The mirrors will move to the position
designated by the switch whether the ignition
switch is the On or Off position and both front doors
are closed. When the Power Folding Mirror switch
is left in the fold position during a vehicle exit the
mirrors will automatically unfold then refold after
both front doors are closed. This is to prevent mirror
contact with either front door when opened. When
opening either front door, the Body Control Module
will unfold the mirrors in the following manner
depending on which front door is opened. If the
driver door is opened, only the driver side mirror
will unfold. If the passenger door is opened, both
mirrors will unfold. The passenger mirror is pre-
vented from unfolding when the driver’s door is
opened by the Passenger Folding Mirror Relay,
which opens the driver circuit to the passenger side
mirror.

3.17

POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM

3.17.1

POWER LIFTGATE

The power liftgate (PLG) system is activated

through the use of the following: remote keyless
entry (RKE), overhead console switches, outside
liftgate handle switch or the DRBIII

t. These inputs

are hardwired to the body control module (BCM)
and can be monitored with a diagnostic tool. The
BCM will send the message via PCI bus to the
power liftgate module (PLGM). The liftgate must be
in the full open or full closed position to operate.
Once the BCM sends a button activation message to
the PLGM, the module shall read all inputs, out-
puts and vehicle conditions to determine whether it
shall open, close or inhibit the PLG operation. Once
the PLGM determines the vehicle conditions are
safe for operation, the PLGM will initiate a chime
for 2 seconds prior to the liftgate activation and 2
seconds during the open or close cycle.

During an opening or closing cycle, the PLGM can

detect an obstacle present should it meet sufficient
resistance by the hall effect sensors (integrated in
the gear motor assembly GMA).

33

GENERAL INFORMATION

During an open cycle, multiple liftgate activa-

tions (RKE, overhead console, B pillar) are ignored
until the liftgate reaches the full open position.
However, during a close cycle, a 2nd liftgate activa-
tion (RKE, overhead console, B pillar) will reverse
the liftgate to the full open position.

If the engine is cranked during a power open/close

the PLG will pause then resume after engine crank-
ing. In addition, if the vehicle is placed in gear
during an open cycle, the PLG shall reverse direc-
tion and begin closing. If the vehicle is placed in
gear during a closing cycle, the PLG shall continue
closing until fully closed. If the outside handle is
activated during an open cycle, the PLG will become
a full manual liftgate. If the outside handle is
activated during a close cycle, the PLG shall reverse
direction of travel to the full open position.

3.17.2

DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES

The PLG can be flashed on vehicle via PCI bus

with a DRBIII

t diagnostic tool. The DRBIIIt can

read all inputs, actuate all outputs, read module
information, and read diagnostic trouble codes. As a
reminder, some DTC’s can be set during normal
PLG operation.

3.17.3

SYSTEM INHIBITORS

1. Battery voltage too high or too low (above 16V,

below 9.5V)

2. Vehicle in gear

3. Vehicle speed > 0 mph/km/h

4. Outside temperature too high, above 143°F

(62°C) or too low, below -12°F (-24°C).

5. O/H console lockout will inhibit the B pillar

switches only.

6. Liftgate locked will inhibit all interior switches

from opening (overhead console). A locked lift-
gate can be power closed.

7. Pinch Sensor switch stuck shall inhibit the

power close feature.

3.18

POWER SLIDING DOOR SYSTEM

3.18.1

POWER SLIDING DOOR

The Power Sliding Door (PSD) system is acti-

vated through the use of the following: Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE), overhead console switches, B
pillar switches or the DRBIII

t. These inputs are

hardwired to the body control module (BCM) and
can be monitored with a diagnostic tool. The BCM
will send the message via PCI bus to the power
sliding door module (PSDM). The sliding door must
be in the full open or full closed position to operate.
Once the BCM sends a button activation message to

the PSDM, the module shall read all inputs, out-
puts and vehicle conditions to determine whether it
shall open, close or inhibit the PSD operation.
During an opening or closing cycle, the PSDM can
detect an obstacle present should it meet sufficient
resistance by the hall effect sensors (integrated in
the drive motor).

During an open cycle, multiple door activations

(RKE, overhead console, B pillar) are ignored until
the door reaches the full open position. However,
during a close cycle, a 2nd door activation (RKE,
overhead console, B pillar) will reverse the door to
the full open position.

If the engine is cranked during a power open/close

the PSD will pause then resume after engine crank-
ing. In addition, if the vehicle is placed in gear
during an open cycle, the PSD shall reverse direc-
tion and begin closing. If the vehicle is placed in
gear during a closing cycle, the PSD shall continue
closing until fully closed.

If the inside or outside handle is activated during

an open or close cycle, the PSD will become a full
manual sliding door. The child lockout is mechani-
cal only and has no effect on the B-pillar switch as
it did in previous models.

There is only one part number for the power

sliding door module (PSDM). The driver sliding
door harness has an additional ground circuit which
will identify it as the driver side. This eliminates
the need for a left and a right side module.

3.18.2

DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES

The PSDM can be flashed on vehicle via PCI bus

with a DRBIII

t diagnostic tool. The DRBIIIt can

read all inputs, actuate all outputs, read module
information, and read diagnostic trouble codes. As a
reminder, some DTC’s can be set during normal
PSD operation.

3.18.3

SYSTEM INHIBITORS

1. Battery voltage too high or too low (above 16V,

below 9.5V)

2. Vehicle in gear

3. Vehicle speed > 0 mph/km/h

4. O/H console lockout will inhibit the B pillar

switches

5. Doors locked will inhibit all interior switches

from opening (Overhead Console, B Pillar). A
locked sliding door can be power closed.
