LOCK (TRANSMITTER)
When a lock command is received from the transmitter, the remote keyless entry module (also known as the RKE module) provides battery voltage through circuit 195R to the LOCK relay in the IPJB. The LOCK relay coil, grounded by circuit 550A, energizes and causes the relay contacts to close. When the relay contacts close, battery voltage is provided through the LOCKS fuse, through the relay, and out of the IPJB to each of the door lock motors. The driver door lock motor is grounded by the remote keyless entry module ground circuit 550R. The other door lock motors are grounded through the UNLOCK relay by the IPJB ground circuit 550A.

The Saturn Security System is automatically enabled when the LOCK button is pressed on the transmitter. The LOCK button can be pressed a second time for a horn chirp confirmation. If the LOCK button is pressed twice, and any of the doors are open, the horn will not chirp. The Saturn Security System will be triggered if any door is opened, or the ignition lock cylinder is turned. The remote keyless entry module will monitor CKT 39R from the ignition switch. If battery voltage is present on CKT 39R with the system armed, the remote keyless entry module will trigger the alarm.

When the Saturn Security System is activated, the horn will cycle at a rate of 1 Hz with 25 ms on time for 10 seconds. (Pre-alarm) Following this 10 seconds pre-alarm warning, the horn will cycle at 1 Hz with 200 ms on time, and the dome lamp will flash. (Full alarm) The dome lamp will not flash during the 10 seconds pre-alarm. Full-alarm will continue until any button is pressed on the transmitter, or 2 minutes have passed, whichever occurs first.

LOCK (SWITCHES)
The lock operation of the driver's and passenger's door switches is the same as when operated by the transmitter, except battery voltage is provided by either switch to the LOCK relay instead of by the remote keyless entry module.

UNLOCK (TRANSMITTER) DRIVER'S DOOR
When an unlock command is received from the transmitter, the remote keyless entry module provides battery voltage through circuit 294K to the driver's door lock motor. Ground potential is provided at the IPJB, through the normally closed contact of the LOCK relay and through each of the remaining door lock motors.

The Saturn Security System is disabled when the UNLOCK button is pressed. If the horn chirp mode is enabled, the horn will chirp twice for confirmation that the Saturn Security System is disarmed.

UNLOCK (TRANSMITTER) ALL DOORS EXCEPT DRIVER'S DOOR
When a second unlock command is received from the transmitter within five seconds of the first unlock command, the remote keyless entry module provides battery voltage through circuit 194R to the UNLOCK relay in the IPJB. The UNLOCK relay coil, grounded by circuit 550A, energizes and causes the relay contacts to close. When the relay contacts close, battery voltage is provided through the LOCKS fuse, through the relay, and out of the IPJB to each of the door lock motors (in opposite direction of "lock"), except the driver's door lock motor. The door lock motors are grounded through the LOCK relay by the IPJB ground circuit 550A.

UNLOCK (SWITCHES)
The unlock operation of the driver's and passenger's door switches, excluding the driver's door unlock, is the same as when operated by the transmitter, except battery voltage is provided by either switch to the UNLOCK relay instead of by the remote keyless entry module. The driver's door unlock signal is detected by the remote keyless entry module, through circuit 194R. The remote keyless entry module provides battery voltage to the driver's door lock motor (in opposite direction of "lock").
