sponder ID message to the SKIM. The SKIM com-
pares the transponder ID message to the available
valid key codes in SKIM memory (8 key maximum
at any one time). After validating the ignition key,
the SKIM sends a PCI Bus message called a seed
request to the ECM, then waits for the ECM re-
sponse. If the ECM does not respond, the SKIM will
send the seed request again. After three failed
attempts, the SKIM will stop sending the seed
request and store a trouble code in memory. If the
ECM sends a seed response, the SKIM sends a
valid/invalid key message to the ECM. 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 ECM at each ignition key cycle.
The VIN and seed are two variables used in the
rolling code algorithm that encrypts the valid/
invalid key message. The ECM 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 message, the SKIM
waits 3.5 seconds for an ECM status message from
the ECM. If the ECM does not respond with a valid
key message to the SKIM, a fault is detected and a
code is stored.
The SKIS incorporates a warning lamp located in
the information center. The lamp receives switched
ignition voltage and is hardwired to the body con-
trol module. The lamp is actuated when the SKIM
sends a PCI Bus message to the body control
module requesting the lamp on. The body control
module then provides the ground for the lamp.
The SKIM will request lamp operation for the
following:
± bulb check at ignition on
± to alert the vehicle operator to a SKIS malfunc-
tion
± when the SKIM is in customer key programming
mode
For all faults except transponder faults the lamp
remains on steady. In the event of a transponder
fault the lamp will flash at a rate of 1Hz (once per
second). If a fault is present, the lamp will remain
on or flashing for the complete ignition cycle. If a
fault is stored in SKIM memory which prevents the
system from operating properly, the ECM will allow
the engine to start and idle for 2 seconds then stall.
This may occur up to six times. After the sixth
attempt, the ECM disables the starter relay until
the fault is corrected.
3.3 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Each diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is diagnosed
by following a specific procedure. The diagnostic
test procedure contains step-by-step instruction fordetermining the cause of the DTC as well as no
trouble code problems. It is not necessary to per-
form all of the tests in this book to diagnose an
individual code.
Always begin diagnosis by reading the DTC's
using the DRBIIIt.
3.3.1 HARD CODE
A DTC that comes back within one cycle of the
ignition key is a hard code. This means that the
problem is current every time the ECM/SKIM
checks that circuit or function. Procedures in this
manual verify if the DTC is a hard code at the
beginning of each test. When the fault is not a hard
code, an intermittent test must be performed.
NOTE: If the DRBIIItdisplays faults for multiple
components (i.e. ECT, VSS, Oil Temp sensors) iden-
tify and check the shared circuits for possible prob-
lems before continuing (i.e. sensor grounds or 5-volt
supply circuits). Refer to the appropriate schematic
to identify shared circuits.
3.3.2 INTERMITTENT CODE
A DTC that is not current every time the ECM/
SKIM checks the circuit or function is an intermit-
tent code. Most intermittent DTCs are caused by
wiring or connector problems. Problems that come
and go like this are the most difficult to diagnose;
they must be looked for under specific conditions
that cause them. The following checks may assist
you in identifying a possible intermittent problem.
²Visually inspect the related wire harness connec-
tors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or cor-
roded terminals.
²Visually inspect the related wire harness. Look
for chafed, pierced, or partially broken wire.
²Refer to hotlines or technical service bulletins
that may apply.
NOTE: Electromagnetic (radio) interference can
cause an intermittent system malfunction. This
interference can interrupt communication between
the ignition key transponder and the SKIM.
3.3.3 ECM DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
IMPORTANT NOTE:Before replacing the ECM
for a failed driver, control circuit or ground circuit,
be sure to check the related component/circuit in-
tegrity for failures not detected due to a double fault
in the circuit. Most ECM driver/control circuit fail-
ures are caused by internal failures to components
(i.e. relays and solenoids) and shorted circuits (i.e.
sensor pull-ups, drivers and ground circuits). These
faults are difficult to detect when a double fault has
occurred and only one DTC has set.
If the DRB displays faults for multiple compo-
nents (i.e. VSS, ECT, Batt Temp, etc.), identify and

4.0 DISCLAIMERS, SAFETY,
WARNINGS
4.1 DISCLAIMERS
All information, illustrations, and specifications
contained in this manual are based on the latest
information available at the time of publication.
The right is reserved to make changes at any time
without notice.
4.2 SAFETY
4.2.1 TECHNICIAN SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: ENGINES PRODUCE CARBON
MONOXIDE THAT IS ODORLESS, CAUSES
SLOWER REACTION TIME, AND CAN LEAD
TO SERIOUS INJURY. WHEN THE ENGINE IS
OPERATING, KEEP SERVICE AREAS WELL
VENTILATED OR ATTACH THE VEHICLE
EXHAUST SYSTEM TO THE SHOP EXHAUST
REMOVAL SYSTEM.
Set the parking brake and block the wheels before
testing or repairing the vehicle. It is especially
important 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 electrical
contact.
When diagnosing a powertrain system problem,
it is important to follow approved procedures where
applicable. These procedures can be found in the
service manual. Following these procedures 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 as an assembly only. At-
tempting 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
DRBIIITMULTIMETER IS DANGEROUS. IT
CAN EXPOSE YOU TO SERIOUS OR
POSSIBLY FATAL INJURY. CAREFULLY
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE CAUTIONS
AND 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, tip 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 Measure
Frequency Generated0-10 kHz
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 10
amp fuse or circuit breaker.
²Use the low current shunt to measure circuits up
to 10 amps. Use the high current shunt to mea-
sure circuits exceeding 10 amps.
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.
