B1A29-SKIM BASESTATION MISMATCH

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

When Monitored:
At ignition on, after ignition on during any rolling code handshake that occurs with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) due to a Sentry Key remote Entry Module (SKREEM) also known as the Wireless Control Module (WCM) or PCM reset.
Set Condition:
When a PCM STATUS message with a Valid Key status is not received by the WCM within 3.5 seconds of transmitting the last Valid Key Code message to the PCM.

PCM

1. DETERMINING IF DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IS CURRENT

1.	With the scan tool, erase the WCM DTCs.

2.	Turn the ignition off.

3.	Wait 10 seconds.

4.	Turn the ignition on and wait 2 minutes.

5.	With the scan tool, read the WCM DTCs.

Does the scan tool display the DTC that was previously erased?

Yes

Go To 2

Go To 4

2. VERIFYING THE PCM VIN

1.	Turn the ignition on.

2.	With the scan tool, select Engine system from the main menu.

3.	Display and record the Vehicle Identification Number.

NOTE: Ensure that a VIN has been programmed into the PCM. If a VIN is not displayed, attempt to program the PCM with the correct VIN before continuing.

Does the VIN recorded from the PCM match the VIN of the vehicle?

Yes

Go To 3

Using the scan tool perform the PCM Replace procedure to update the VIN in the PCM.
Perform the WCM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Wireless Control (WCM) - Standard Procedure)

3. REPLACE WCM AND CHECK DTCS

1.	Turn the ignition off.

2.	Replace and program the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module in accordance with the Service Information.

3.	Turn the ignition on.

4.	With the scan tool, display and clear all PCM and WCM DTCs.

5.	Perform 5 ignition key cycles leaving the ignition key on for 90 seconds per cycle.

6.	With the scan tool, check for WCM DTCs.

Does the scan tool display the same DTC?

Yes

Using the scan tool perform the PCM Replace procedure to update the VIN in the PCM.
Perform the WCM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Wireless Control (WCM) - Standard Procedure)

The repair is complete.
Perform the WCM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Wireless Control (WCM) - Standard Procedure)

4. INTERMITTENT

1.	Turn the ignition off.

NOTE: Check for the following conditions:

Visually inspect the related wiring harness. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.

Visually inspect the related wiring harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.

Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) that may apply.

Were any problems found?

Yes

Repair wiring harness/connectors as necessary.
Perform the WCM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Wireless Control (WCM) - Standard Procedure)

Test Complete.
