GENERAL INFORMATION
message the PCM will terminate engine operation,
or allow the engine to continue to operate.
3.2.7 SKIM ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
The SKIM has been programmed to transmit and
monitor many different coded messages as well as
PCI Bus messages. This monitoring is called On
Board Diagnosis.
Certain criteria must be met for a diagnostic
trouble code to be entered into the SKIM memory.
The criteria may be a range of; Input voltage, PCI
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 energizes the antenna
(this activates the transponder chip) and sends a
challenge to the transponder chip. The transponder
chip 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 transponders.
Challenge- This is a random number that is
generated by the SKIM at each ignition key cycle.
The secret key and challenge are the two vari-
ables used in the algorithm that produces the
encrypted response message. The transponder uses
the crypto algorithm to receive, decode and respond
to the message sent by the SKIM. After responding
to the coded message, the transponder sends a
transponder I.D. message to the SKIM. The SKIM
compares the transponder I.D. to the available valid
key codes in the SKIM memory (8 key maximum at
any one time). After validating the key ignition the
SKIM sends a PCI 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 again. 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 the two variables used in
the rolling code algorithm that encrypts the valid/
invalid key message. The PCM uses the rolling code
algorithm to receive, decode and respond to the
valid/invalid key message sent by the SKIM. Aftersending the valid/invalid key message 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 VTSS LED located on
the instrument panel upper cover. The LED re-
ceives switched ignition voltage and is hardwired to
the body control module. The LED is actuated when
the SKIM sends a PCI Bus message to the body
controller requesting the LED on. The body control-
ler then provides the ground for the LED. The
SKIM will request VTSS LED operation for the
following:
± bulb checks at ignition on
± to alert the vehicle operator to a SKIS mal-
function
± customer key programming mode
For all faults except transponder faults and VTSS
LED remains on steady. In the event of a transpon-
der fault the LED flashes at a rate of 1 Hz (once per
second). If a fault is present the LED 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 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 I.D. code that is
unique to each SKIS. This code is programmed and
stored in the SKIM, engine controller and transpon-
der chip (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.

3.5.1 DRBIIITDOES 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 the vehicle or other devices, and the
vehicle battery is fully charged, and inoperative
DRBIIItmay be the result of faulty cable or vehicle
wiring.
3.5.2 DISPLAY IS NOT VISIBLE
Low temperatures will affect the visibility of the
