Certain criteria must be met for a diagnostic
trouble code to be entered into the SKIM memeory.
The criteria may be a range of; Input voltage, CCD
Bus message, or coded messages to the SKIM. If all
of the criteria for monitoring a circuit or function
are met and a fault is sensed, a diagnostic trouble
code will be stored in the SKIM memory.
3.2.8 SKIS OPERATION
When ignition power is supplied to the SKIM, the
SKIM performs an internal self-test. After the self-
test is completed, the SKIM neergizes the antenna
(this activates the transponder chop responds to the
challenge by generating an encrypted response
message using the following:
Secret Key -This is an electronically stored
value (identification number) that is unique to each
SKIS. The secret key is stored in the SKIM, PCM
and all ignition key tranponders.
Challenge -This is a random numbr that is
generated by the SKIM at each ignition key cycle.
The secret key and challenge are plugged into an
algorithm that produces the encrypted response
message. The transponder uses the crypto algo-
rithm to receive, decode and respond to the message
sent by the SKIM. After responding to the coded
message, the transponder sends a transponder ID
message to the SKIM. The SKIM compares the
transponder ID to the available valid key codes in
the SKIM memory (8 key maximum). After validat-
ing the key the SKIM sends a CCD Bus message
called a ``Seed Request'' to the engine controller
then waits for a PCM response. If the PCM does not
respond, the SKIM will send the seed request agian.
After three failed attempts the SKIM will stop
sending the seed request and store a trouble code. If
the PCM sends a seed response, the SKIM sends a
valid/invalid key message to the PCM. This is an
encrypted message that is generated using the
following:
VIN -Vehicle Identification Number
Seed -This is a random number that is generated
by the PCM at each ignition key cycle.
The VIN and seed are plugged into a rolling code
algorithm that encrypts the ``valid/invalid key'' mes-
sage. The PCM uses the rolling code algorithm to
receive, decode and respond to the valid/invalid key
message sent by the SKIM. After sending the valid/
invalid key massage the SKIM waits 3.5 seconds for
a PCM status message from the PCM. If the PCM
does not respond with a valid key message to the
SKIM, a fault is detected and a trouble code is
stored.
The SKIS incorporates a warning lamp (``ALARM
SET'') located in the message center. The lamp
receives switched ignition voltage and is hardwired
to the body control module. The lamp is actuated
when the SKIM sends a CCD Bus message to thebody controller requesting the lamp on. The body
controller then provides the ground for the lamp.
The SKIM will request lamp operation for the
following:
- bulb checks at ignition on
- to alert the vehicle operator to a SKIS malfunc-
tion
For all faults except transponder faults and VIN
mismatch, the lamp remains on steady. In the event
of a tranponder fault the light flashes at a rate of 1
Hz (once per second). If a fault is pesent the lamp
will emain on or flashing for the complete ignition
cycle. If a fault is stored in SKIM memory which
prevents the system form operating properly, the
PCM will allow the engine to start and run (for 2
seconds) up to six times. After the sixth attempt, the
PCM disables the starter relay until the fault is
corrected.
3.2.9 PROGRAMMING THE POWERTRAIN
CONTROL MODULE
Important Note:Before replacing the PCM for a
failed driver, control circuit or ground circuit, be
sure to check the related component/circuit integ-
rity for failures not detected due to a double fault in
the circuit. Most PCM driver/control circuit failures
are caused by internal failure to components (i.e.
12-volt pull-ups, drivers and ground sensors). These
failures are difficult to detect when a double fault
has occurred and only one DTC has set.
NOTE:IF THE PCM AND THE SKIM ARE
REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME, PROGRAM
THE VIN INTO THE PCM FIRST. ALL VEHICLE
KEYS WILL THEN NEED TO BE REPLACED
AND PROGRAMMED TO THE NEW SKIM.
The SKIS ``Secret Key'' is an ID code that is
unique to each SKIS. This code is programmed and
stored in the SKIM, engine controller and transpon-
der ship (ignition key). When replacing the PCM it
is necessary to program the secret key into the
PCM.
1. Turn the ignition on (transmission in park/
neutral).
2. Use the DRB and select ``THEFT ALARM'',
SKIM then MISCELLANEOUS''.
3. Select ``PCM REPLACED''.
4. Enter secured access mode by entering the vehi-
cle four-digit PIN.

3.5.1 DRB IIITDOES NOT POWER UP
If the LED's do not light or no sound is emitted at
start up, check for loose cable connections or a bad
cable. Check the vehicle battery voltage (data link
connector cavity 16). A minimum of 11 volts is
required to adequately power the DRBIIIt.
If all connections are proper between the
DRBIIItand vehicle or other devices, and the
vehicle battery is fully charged, an inoperative
DRBIIItmay be the result of a faulty cable or
vehicle wiring. For a blank screen, refer to the
appropriate body diagnostics manual.
3.5.2 DISPLAY IS NOT VISIBLE
Low temperatures will affect the visibility of the
display. Adjust the contrast to compensate for this
condition.

tant to block the wheels on front-wheel drive vehicles;
the parking brake does not hold the drive wheels.
When servicing a vehicle, always wear eye pro-
tection, and remove any metal jewelry such as
watchbands or bracelets that might make an inad-
vertent electrical contact.
When diagnosing a powertrain system problem,
it is important to follow approved procedures where

applicable. These procedures can be found in ser-
vice manual procedures. Following these proce-
dures is very important to the safety of individuals
performing diagnostic tests.
4.2.2 VEHICLE PREPARATION FOR
TESTING
Make sure the vehicle being tested has a fully
charged battery. If it does not, false diagnostic codes
or error messages may occur.
4.2.3 SERVICING SUB-ASSEMBLIES
Some components of the powertrain system are
intended to be serviced in assembly only. Attempt-
ing to remove or repair certain system sub-
components may result in personal injury and/or
improper system operation. Only those components
with approved repair and installation procedures in
the service manual should be serviced.
4.2.4 DRBIIITSAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: EXCEEDING THE LIMITS OF THE
DRB MULTIMETER IS DANGEROUS. IT CAN
EXPOSE YOU TO SERIOUS INJURY.
CAREFULLY READ AND UNDERSTAND THE
CAUTIONS AND THE SPECIFICATION
LIMITS.
Follow the vehicle manufacturer 's service specifi-
cations at all times.
²Do not use the DRBIIItif it has been damaged.
²Do not use the test leads if the insulation is
damaged or if metal is exposed.
²To avoid electrical shock, do not touch the test
leads, tips or the circuit being tested.
²Choose the proper range and function for the
measurement. Do not try voltage or current mea-
surements that may exceed the rated capacity.
²Do not exceed the limits shown in the table below:
FUNCTION INPUT LIMIT
Volts 0 - 500 peak volts AC
0 - 500 volts DC
Ohms (resistance)* 0 -1.12 megohms
Frequency Measured
Frequency Generated0-10kHz
Temperature -58 - 1100ÉF
-50 - 600ÉC
* Ohms cannot be measured if voltage is present.
Ohms can be measured only in a non-powered
circuit.
²Voltage between any terminal and ground must
not exceed 500v DC or 500v peak AC.
²Use caution when measuring voltage above 25v
DC or 25v AC.
²The circuit being tested must be protected by a
10A fuse or circuit breaker.
²Use the low current shunt to measure circuits up
to 10A. Use the high current clamp to measure
circuits exceeding 10A.
²When testing for the presence of voltage or cur-
rent, make sure the meter is functioning cor-
rectly. Take a reading of a known voltage or
current before accepting a zero reading.
²When measuring current, connect the meter in
series with the load.
²Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting
the common test lead.
²When using the meter function, keep the DRB
away from spark plug or coil wires to avoid
measuring error from outside interference.
4.3 WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
4.3.1 ROAD TEST WARNINGS
Some complaints will require a test drive as part
of the repair verification procedure. The purpose of
the test drive is to try to duplicate the diagnostic
code or symptom condition.
CAUTION: BEFORE ROAD TESTING A
VEHICLE, BE SURE THAT ALL
COMPONENTS ARE REASSEMBLED.
DURING THE TEST DRIVE, DO NOT TRY TO
READ THE DRB SCREEN WHILE IN MOTION.
DO NOT HANG THE DRB FROM THE REAR
VIEW MIRROR OR OPERATE IT YOURSELF.
HAVE AN ASSISTANT AVAILABLE TO
OPERATE THE DRB.
4.3.2 VEHICLE DAMAGE CAUTIONS
Before disconnecting any control module, make
sure the ignition is ªoffº. Failure to do so could
damage the module.
When testing voltage or continuity at any control
module, use the terminal side (not the wire end) of
the connector. Do not probe a wire through the
insulation; this will damage it and eventually cause
it to fail because of corrosion.
Be careful when performing electrical tests so as
to prevent accidental shorting of terminals. Such
mistakes can damage fuses or components. Also, a
second code could be set, making diagnosis of the
original problem more difficult.
