Symptom List:
PCM STATUS FAILURE
ROLLING CODE FAILURE
SERIAL LINK EXTERNAL FAULT
Test Note: All symptoms listed above are diagnosed using the same tests.
The title for the tests will be PCM STATUS FAILURE.
When Monitored and Set Condition:
PCM STATUS FAILURE
When Monitored: This condition is monitored at ignition ON and continuously during an
ignition ON cycle.
Set Condition: This condition exists when a PCM STATUS bus message was not received
from the PCM. Note: Failure maturity time is 20 seconds.
ROLLING CODE FAILURE
When Monitored: At ignition ON, after ignition ON during any rolling code handshake
that occurs with the PCM due to a SKIM or a PCM reset.
Set Condition: This condition exists when a PCM STATUS message is not received by the
SKIM within 3.5 seconds of transmitting what the SKIM believes to be a 'key code'
message to the PCM. the 'key code' sent by the SKIM may or may not be valid in this case.
SERIAL LINK EXTERNAL FAULT
When Monitored: At ignition ON, after ignition ON during any rolling code handshake
that occurs with the PCM due to a SKIM reset or a PCM reset, or during 'Secret Key'
transfers to the PCM.
Set Condition: This condition is set when the SKIM does not receive an expected bus
message transmission acknowledgement from the PCM after 3 transmit attempts.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
INTERMITTENT WIRING HARNESS PROBLEM

Verification Tests
VERIFICATION TEST VER-1A APPLICABILITY
No Start Verification
Use this test to verify that a No Start condition has been repaired and that the vehicle can be
returned to the customer.
Note: If the Powertrain Control Module has been replaced and the correct VIN and
mileage have not been programmed, a DTC will be set in the ABS, Airbag and the
SKIM modules. In addition, if the vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Immobilizer
Module (SKIM), Secret Key data must be updated to enable starting. Refer to
GENERAL INFORMATION section for programming information for the PCM, SKIM
and the Transponder (ignition key).
1. Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all components related to the repair are connected
properly.
2. Inspect the engine oil for fuel contamination. Replace the oil and filter as necessary
3. Attempt to start the engine.
4. If the No Start condition is still present, refer to the symptom list and perform diagnostic
testing as necessary. Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
5. Run the engine for one warm-up cycle to verify proper operation. With the DRBIIIt, confirm
that no DTC's are present and that all components are functioning properly.
6. If DTC's are present, refer to the symptom list and perform diagnostic testing as necessary.ALL
VERIFICATION TEST VER-2A APPLICABILITY
Non-OBDII Verification
Use this test to verify that a non-OBDII symptom has been repaired and that the vehicle can
be returned to the customer. A non-OBDII symptom is a comprehensive component related
symptom that is not the result of a failed OBDII major monitor.
Note: If the Powertrain Control Module has been replaced and the correct VIN and
mileage have not been programmed, a DTC will be set in the ABS, Airbag and the
SKIM modules. In addition, if the vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Immobilizer
Module (SKIM), Secret Key data must be updated to enable starting. Refer to
GENERAL INFORMATION section for programming information for the PCM, SKIM
and the Transponder (ignition key).
1. Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all components related to the repair are connected
properly.
2. With the DRBIIIt, Clear DTC's and Reset Memory (all engine values).
3. Run the engine for one warm-up cycle to verify proper operation.
4. Road test the vehicle. Use all accessories that may be related to this repair.
With the DRBIIIt, confirm that no DTC's are present and that all components are functioning
properly.
6. If this test is being performed after a No Trouble Code test, verify that the symptom is no
longer present. If the symptom is still present, or any other symptom or DTC is present, refer
to the symptom list for further diagnostic testing procedures. Check for any Technical Service
Bulletins that may apply.
7. If there are no DTC's present and all components are functioning properly, repair is
complete.ALL

VERIFICATION TEST VER-5A APPLICABILITY
OBDII Road Test Verification
Use this test to verify that the OBDII symptom has been repaired and that the vehicle can be
returned to the customer. The proper way to verify that an OBDII DTC has been repaired is to
allow the PCM to run and pass the appropriate OBDII monitor(s).
Note: If the Powertrain Control Module has been changed and the correct VIN and
mileage have not been programmed, a DTC will be set in the ABS, Airbag and the
SKIM modules. In addition, if the vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Immobilizer
Module (SKIM), Secret Key data must be updated to enable starting. Refer to
GENERAL INFORMATION section for programming information for the PCM, SKIM
and the Transponder (ignition key).
1. Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all components related to the repair are connected
properly.
2. If any other DTC is present, refer to the symptom list for further diagnostic testing
procedures.
3. With the DRBIIIt, Clear DTC's.
4. In order for an OBDII monitor to run, certain pre-test conditions must be met. Refer to the
applicable OBDII monitor pre-test screen on the DRBIIItfor monitor enabling conditions.
5. Operate the vehicle within the enabling conditions and allow the applicable monitor to run.
While the monitor is running, the OBDII monitor screen on the DRBIIItwill display ªIN
PROGRESSº and the DRBIIItwill beep. After the monitor is complete, view the results. Refer
to the appropriate service information as necessary. A monitor may have to fail more than once
in order to set a DTC.
If the monitor fails, or the DTC returns, or any other symptom or DTC is present, refer to the
symptom list for further diagnostic testing procedures. Check for any Technical Service
Bulletins that may apply.
If there are no DTC's present and all components are functioning properly, the repair is
complete.ALL

Fuel System Lean/Rich or Misfire Verification
Use this test to verify that the Fuel System Lean, Fuel System Rich, or Misfire symptom has
been repaired and that the vehicle can be returned to the customer.
NOTE: If the Powertrain Control Module has been replaced and the correct VIN and
mileage have not been programmed, a DTC will be set in the ABS, Airbag and the
SKIM modules. In addition, if the vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Immobilizer
Module (SKIM), Secret KEY data must be updated to enable starting. Refer to
GENERAL INFORMATION section for programming information for the PCM, SKIM
and the Transponder (ignition key).
1. Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all components related to the repair are connected
properly.
2. If any other DTC is present, refer to the symptom list for further diagnostic testing
procedures.
3. With the DRBIIIt, monitor the Similar Conditions Window and attempt to duplicate the
conditions that the vehicle was operating at when the DTC was set. If the conditions can be
duplicated, the Good Trip counter will change to one or more.
4. If the DTC resets, or the OBDII monitor fails after running, or if any other symptom or DTC
is present, return to the symptom list and perform the appropriate diagnostic testing
procedures. Check for any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
5. If the monitor runs and the Good Trip Counter changes to one or more, the condition is no
longer present. If there are no DTCs and all components are functioning properly, the repair is
complete.ALL
