Alarm Module: Description and Operation Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKREEM) - Description

DESCRIPTION
When a PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in

order:

1. Program the new PCM. 2. Program the new SKREEM. 3. Replace all ignition keys and program
them to the new SKREEM.See: Keyless Entry Module/Testing and Inspection/Programming and
Relearning

The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) is sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control
Module (WCM). The SKREEM/WCM is the primary component of the Sentry Key Immobilizer
System (SKIS). It is also the receiver for the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system and the Tire
Pressure Monitor (TPM) system. The SKREEM/WCM is located on the steering column, around the
ignition lock cylinder housing and is concealed beneath the steering column shrouds. The molded
black plastic housing for the SKREEM/WCM has an integral molded plastic halo-like antenna ring
(3) that extends from one side. When the SKREEM/WCM is properly installed, the antenna ring is
oriented around the ignition lock cylinder housing.

A single connector (4) is located next to the antenna ring on the SKREEM/WCM housing (3). A
molded plastic mounting tab (2) on the SKREEM/WCM housing secures the unit to the steering
column. The SKREEM/WCM is connected to the vehicle electrical system through the instrument
panel wire harness.

The SKREEM/WCM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty or damaged, the entire SKREEM unit
must be replaced.

Alarm Module: Description and Operation Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKREEM) - Operation

OPERATION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM), sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control

Module (WCM), contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a microprocessor. The
SKREEM/WCM transmits RF signals to, and receives RF signals from the Sentry Key transponder
through a tuned antenna enclosed within the molded plastic antenna ring integral to the
SKREEM/WCM housing. If this antenna ring is not mounted properly around the ignition lock
cylinder housing, communication problems between the SKREEM/WCM and the transponder may
arise. These communication problems will result in Sentry Key transponder-related faults.

The SKREEM also serves as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) RF receiver and, if the vehicle is so
equipped, the receiver for the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system. See: Body and
Frame/Locks/Power Locks/Description and Operation/Power Locks - Description or See:
Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Tire Monitoring System/Description and
Operation/Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) - Description. The SKREEM/WCM communicates over
the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus with the Electro Mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
(sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN), the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM), and/or the diagnostic scan tool.

The SKREEM/WCM retains in memory the ID numbers of any Sentry Key transponder that is
programmed into it. A maximum of eight Sentry Key transponders can be programmed into the
SKREEM/WCM. For added system security, each SKREEM/WCM is programmed with a unique
Secret Key code. This code is stored in memory, sent over the CAN data bus to the PCM, and is
encoded to the transponder of every Sentry Key that is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM.
Therefore, the Secret Key code is a common element that is found in every component of the
Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS). Another security code, called a PIN, is used to gain access
to the SKREEM/WCM Secured Access Mode. The Secured Access Mode is required during
service to perform the SKIS initialization and Sentry Key transponder programming procedures.
See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Service and Repair See:
Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Alarm System
Transponder/Testing and Inspection The SKREEM/WCM also stores the Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN) in its memory, which it learns through a CAN data bus message from the PCM
during SKIS initialization.

NOTE: After a SKREEM/WCM is replaced, the ignition/transponder keys need to be programmed
to the new SKREEM/WCM. Follow the

directions on the diagnostic scan tool. The transponder key for the SKREES/SKIM and the RKE will
both be programmed during this operation. There is no need to program the fob of the key for RKE
functionality once the transponder key is programmed to the new SKREEM/WCM.

In the event that a SKREEM/WCM replacement is required, the Secret Key code can be
transferred to the new SKREEM/WCM from the PCM using the diagnostic scan tool and the SKIS
initialization procedure. Proper completion of the SKIS initialization will allow the existing Sentry
Keys to be programmed into the new SKREEM/WCM so that new keys will not be required. In the
event that the original Secret Key code cannot be recovered, SKREEM/WCM replacement will also
require new Sentry Keys. The diagnostic scan tool will alert the technician during the SKIS
initialization procedure if new Sentry Keys are required.

When the ignition switch is turned to the On position, the SKREEM/WCM transmits an RF signal to
the transponder in the ignition key. The SKREEM/WCM then waits for an RF signal response from
the transponder. If the response received identifies the key as valid, the SKREEM/WCM sends a
valid key message to the PCM over the CAN data bus. If the response received identifies the key
as invalid or if no response is received from the key transponder, the SKREEM/WCM sends an
invalid key message to the PCM. The PCM will enable or disable engine operation based upon the
status of the SKREEM/WCM messages. It is important to note that the default condition in the PCM
is an invalid key; therefore, if no message is received from the SKREEM/WCM by the PCM, the
engine will be disabled and the vehicle immobilized after two seconds of running.

The SKREEM/WCM also sends security indicator status messages to the EMIC/CCN over the CAN
data bus to tell the EMIC/CCN how to operate the security indicator. The security indicator status
message from the SKREEM/WCM tells the EMIC/CCN to turn the indicator on for about three
seconds each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position as a bulb test. After completion of
the bulb test, the SKREEM/WCM sends security indicator status messages to the EMIC/CCN to
turn the indicator off, turn the indicator on, or to flash the indicator on and off. If the security
indicator flashes or stays on solid after the bulb test, it signifies a SKIS fault. If the SKREEM/WCM
detects a system malfunction and/or the SKIS has become inoperative, the security indicator will
stay on solid. If the SKREEM/WCM detects an invalid key or if a key transponder-related fault
exists, the security indicator will flash. If the vehicle is equipped with the Customer Learn
transponder programming feature, the SKREEM/WCM will also send messages to the EMIC/CCN
to flash the security indicator whenever the Customer Learn programming mode is being utilized .
See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Alarm System
Transponder/Testing and Inspection

The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position, and will
store fault information in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in SKREEM/WCM memory if
a system malfunction is detected. The SKREEM/WCM can be diagnosed, and any stored DTC can
be retrieved using a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Keyless Entry Module: Programming and Relearning
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module

(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the
Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:

NOTE: If the PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, program the PCM VIN into the
PCM first.

1. If applicable first replace the PCM/ECM with the original WCM still connected to the vehicle. 2.
Using the appropriate service information program the new PCM/ECM. (This will ensure the Secret
Key Transfer from the original WCM into the

new PCM/ECM).

3. Now replace and program the WCM. This will retain the Secret Key from the PCM/ECM back
into the new WCM. 4. With the scan tool, select Miscellaneous Functions, WCM/Wireless Control
Module. Then select the desired procedure and follow the display on

the scan tool.

5. If the vehicle is equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System program the Placard Pressure
Values into the WCM/SKREEM. 6. Ensure all the customer's keys have been programmed into the
new module if necessary.

NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,

programming new keys will be necessary.
PROGRAMMING THE SKREEM
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKREEM/WCM. This code is

programmed and stored in the SKREEM/WCM, the PCM/ECM, and each ignition key transponder
chip. When the PCM/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.

NOTE: Programming the PCM/ECM or SKREEM is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to
enter secure access mode. If three

attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an incorrect PIN, secure access mode will
be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn the ignition to the RUN position for one
hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the
battery state and connect a battery charger if necessary.

NOTE: Before replacing the ECU for a failed driver, control circuit or ground circuit, be sure to
check the related component/circuit integrity

for failures not detected due to a double fault in the circuit. Most ECM driver/control circuit failures
are caused by internal component failures (i.e. relay and solenoids) and shorted circuits (i.e.
pull-ups, drivers and switched circuits). These failures are difficult to detect when a double fault has
occurred and only one DTC has set.

ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When a ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in order:

1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM 3. Replace all ignition keys and program them
to the new SKIM.

ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When an ECM (Bosch) and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in

order:

1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM (Bosch) 3. Replace all ignition keys and
program them to the new SKIM.

PROGRAMMING THE SKIM
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.

1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the StarSCAN(R).
CAUTION: If the ECM/PCM and SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, the ECM/PCM

MUST be programmed before the
SKREEM/WCM.

3. Select "ECU View". 4. Select "WCM Wireless Control Module". 5. Select "Miscellaneous
Functions". 6. Select WCM replaced. 7. Enter the PIN when prompted. 8. Verify the correct
information.

NOTE: If the ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time, all vehicle keys will need to be
replaced and programmed to the new SKIM.

PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is

manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.

NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,

programming new keys will be necessary.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a

SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret
Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error

messages:

­PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status

and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.

- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:

- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.

- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.

- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.

- LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

Seat Heater Control Module: Description and Operation Heated Seat Module - Description
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat module (2) is located under the left front seat. It has a single electrical connector

(1) and a push pin style retainer that secures it to the seat pan. The module can be accessed from
under the front left seat with the seat in the full back position.

The heated seat module is a microprocessor designed to use the Local Interface Network (LIN)
data bus messages from the instrument cluster also known as the Cabin Compartment Node
(CCN). The CCN receives inputs from the heated seat switches and in turn signals the heated seat
module to operate the heated seat elements for both front seats.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Heated Seat Module - Description > Page 49

Seat Heater Control Module: Description and Operation Heated Seat Module - Operation
OPERATION
The heated seat module operates on fused battery current received from the ignition switch. The

module is grounded to the body at all times through the electrical connector. Inputs to the module
include Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus messages and standard hardwired 12 volt power
and ground. In response to the LIN inputs the heated seat module will control the battery current to
the appropriate heated seat elements.

When a heated seat switch LIN data bus signal is received by the heated seat module, the module
energizes the selected heated seat element. The Low heat set point is about 38° C (100.4° F), and
the High heat set point is about 42° C (107.6° F).

In addition to operating the heated seat elements, the heated seat module sends LED illumination
messages to the CCN via the LIN data bus. The CCN then sends the LED illumination message to
the accessory switch bank so that the appropriate LEDs are illuminated for any given heating level.
Pressing the switch once will select high-level heating. Pressing the switch a second time will
select low-level heating. Pressing the switch a third time will shut the heating elements off.

If the heated seat module detects a heated seat element OPEN or SHORT circuit, it will record and
store the appropriate diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Seat Heater Control Module: Testing and Inspection
HEATED SEAT MODULE
In order to obtain conclusive testing, the heated seat system and the Local Interface Network (LIN)

data bus circuit must be checked. Any diagnosis of the heated seat system should begin with, the
use of a scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic service information.

Refer to the appropriate wiring information for complete circuit schematic or connector pin-out
information.

NOTE: Vehicles equipped with the heated seat option utilize a low voltage cut-off feature. This
feature turns off power to the heated seat

system anytime vehicle voltage is below 11.7v or above 15.5v. Be certain to check the vehicle
electrical system for proper voltage anytime the power seat system appears inoperative.

Before any testing of the heated seat system is attempted, the battery should be fully-charged.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation Anti-Lock Brake System Module ­Description

DESCRIPTION
The Antilock Brake Module (ABM) is a microprocessor-based device which monitors the antilock

brake system (ABS) during normal braking and controls it when the vehicle is in an ABS stop or
when in a traction control or Electronic Stability Program (ESP) situation. The ABM utilizes a
47-way electrical connector on the vehicle wiring harness. The power source for the ABM is
through the ignition switch in the RUN or ON position.

The ABM (1) is mounted to the HCU (2) as part of the Integrated Control Unit (ICU). The ICU is
located in the engine compartment on the inboard side of the right body frame rail behind the strut
tower. For information on the ICU, See: Brakes and Traction Control/Antilock Brakes / Traction
Control Systems/Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes/Description and
Operation/Integrated Control Unit (ICU) - Description - DESCRIPTION).

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation Anti-Lock Brake System Module ­Operation

OPERATION
The primary functions of the Antilock Brake Module (ABM) are to:

- Monitor the Antilock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Program (ESP) for proper
operation.

- Detect wheel locking or wheel slipping tendencies by monitoring the speed of all four wheels of
the vehicle.

- Control fluid modulation to the wheel brakes while the system is in ABS or traction control mode.

- Modulates fluid pressure to the wheel brakes to control vehicle yaw rate in ESP mode.

- Store diagnostic information.

- Provide communication to the scan tool while in diagnostic mode.

- Illuminate the amber ABS indicator in the instrument cluster.

- Illuminate the yellow ESP/BAS indicator in the instrument cluster (if equipped).
The ABM constantly monitors the ABS and ESP (if equipped) for proper operation. If the ABM

detects a fault, it will turn on the amber ABS and yellow ESP/BAS indicators and disable the ABS
or ESP if so equipped. The normal base braking system will remain operational at that time.

The ABM continuously monitors the speed of each wheel through the signals generated by the
wheel speed sensors to determine if any wheel is beginning to lock. When a wheel locking
tendency is detected, the ABM commands the ABM solenoid coils to actuate. The coils then open
and close the valves in the HCU that modulate brake fluid pressure in some or all of the hydraulic
circuits. The ABM continues to control pressure in individual hydraulic circuits until a locking
tendency is no longer present.
