Powertrain System Verification Test

NOTE: Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) will only remain in secured access mode for 60 seconds. If incorrect unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) is entered 3 times, SKIM will be locked for one hour. To unlock SKIM, turn ignition on for one hour. When SKIM is locked, scan tool will display BUS +/- SIGNALS OPEN.
NOTE: If Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has been replaced, the correct vehicle mileage and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be programmed into the PCM to prevent DTCs from being set in Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module and Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) module.
  1. Turn ignition off. Remove all test equipment and jumper wires. Ensure all engine components are properly installed. Connect any disconnected components. Inspect engine oil for contamination. Change oil and filter if necessary. If Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has been replaced, go to next step. If PCM has not been replaced, go to step  4 .
  2. Obtain vehicle's unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) assigned to SKIM from vehicle owner or manufacturer. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, enter correct VIN and mileage into PCM. Go to next step.
  3. Using scan tool, clear DTCs from Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module and Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) module. Using scan tool, select SKIM REPLACEMENT. Enter 4-digit PIN to put SKIM in access mode. Using scan tool, transfer vehicle secret key data to from SKIM to PCM. Go to next step.
  4. Attempt to start engine. If engine starts and stays running, go to next step. If engine does not start or stay running, repair by symptom. See TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - CARS - EXCEPT SEBRING COUPE & STRATUS COUPE article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.
  5. Turn ignition off. Wait 5 seconds. Using scan tool, retrieve DTCs from all modules. If no DTCs exist, system is operating correctly and customer complaint cannot be duplicated, repair is complete. If any DTCs exist, perform appropriate test. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION  table under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
