1.0 INTRODUCTION
The procedures contained in this manual include all the specifications, instructions, and graphics
needed to diagnose engine control module (ECM) and sentry key immobilizer system (SKIS)
problems; they are no start, diagnostic trouble code, and no trouble code problems for the ECM.
The diagnostics in this manual are based on the trouble condition or symptom being present at
the time of diagnosis.
When repairs are required, refer to the appropriate volume of the service manual for proper
removal and repair procedure.
Diagnostic procedures change every year. New diagnostic systems may be added; carryover
systems may be enhanced. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU REVIEW THE ENTIRE MANUAL
TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ALL NEW AND CHANGED DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES.
This manual is designed to begin all diagnosis at the DTC TEST, which is located at the beginning
of Section 7.1. This will cover all the necessary requirements to begin a logical diagnostic path for
each problem. If there is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) detected, it will direct you to the trouble
code test. If there are no trouble codes present, it will direct you by symptom to a no-trouble code
test.
This book reflects many suggested changes from readers of past issues. After using this book, if
you have any comments or recommendations, please fill out the form at the back of the book and
mail it back to us.
1.1 System Coverage
This diagnostic procedures manual covers all 2000 GS body equipped with the 2.5L VM diesel
engine.
1.2 Six-Step Troubleshooting Procedure
Diagnosis of the engine control module (ECM) and SKIS is done in six basic steps:
²verification of complaint
²verification of any related symptoms
²symptom analysis
²problem isolation
²repair of isolated problem
²verification of proper operation
2.0 IDENTIFICATION OF SYSTEM
The engine control module (ECM) is located in the center of the passenger compartment behind
the lower console. The sentry key immobilizer module is located below the steering column
behind the steering wheel.
3.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
3.1 General Description

3.2 Functional Operation
3.2.1 ECM On-Board Diagnostics
The ECM has been programmed to monitor many different circuits of the diesel fuel injection
system. This monitoring is called ``on-board diagnosis''.
Certain criteria must be met for a diagnostic trouble code to be entered into the ECM memory. The
criteria may be a range of: engine rpm, engine temperature, and/or input voltage to the ECM. If
all of the criteria for monitoring a system or circuit are met and a problem is sensed, then a trouble
code will be stored in the ECM.
It is possible that a trouble code for a monitored circuit may not be entered into the ECM memory
even though a malfunction has occurred. This may happen when the monitoring criteria have not
been met.
The ECM compares input signal voltages from each input device with specifications (the
established high and low limits of the range) that are programmed into it for that device. If the input
voltage is not within specifications and other trouble code criteria are met, a trouble code will be
stored in the ECM memory.
3.2.2 ECM Operating Modes
As input signals to the engine control module (ECM) change, the ECM adjusts its response to
output devices. For example, the ECM must calculate a different fuel quantity and fuel timing for
idle than it does for wide open throttle. There are several different modes of operation that
determine how the ECM responds to the various input signals.
Ignition Switch On (Engine Off Mode)
When the ignition switch activates the fuel injection system, the following actions occur:
1. The ECM determines atmospheric air pressure from the atmospheric pressure sensor
located in the ECM.
2. The ECM energizes the fuel quantity actuator and the fuel shudown solenoid if no faults
are present.
If the engine is not started within 5 seconds of ignition on, the ECM deactivates the fuel quantity
actuator and the fuel shutdown solenoid to prevent overheating.
Engine Start-Up Mode-The ECM uses the engine temperature sensor, fuel temperature sensor,
atmospheric pressure sensor, boost pressure sensor and the engine speed sensor to determine
fuel delivery during this mode.
Normal Driving Modes- Engine idle, warm-up, acceleration, deceleration and wide open throttle
modes are all controlled based on the sensor inputs to the ECM and are modified based on
engine temperature, boost pressure and engine speed.
Overheat Protection Mode- If engine temperature becomes too hot, the ECM activates high
speed radiator fan operation and limits fuel quantity for engine protection.
Limp-In Modes- The ECM operates in limp-in mode when certain system faults are detected.
The ECM operates in one of the following modes based on the severity of the fault:
1. 10% torque reduction.
2. 50% torque reduction.
3. Engine speed limited to 1100 rpm.

After-Run- When fused ignition switch output is removed from the ECM cavity 47, the ECM
performs a self-diagnostic check in the following order:
1. Electrical shut-off test
2. Fuel quantity actuator test
3. Monitoring module test
4. Voltage regulator test
5. Main relay test (if tests 1-4 pass)
If any of tests 1-4 fail, the fault is stored in memory, and can be retrieved during the next ignition
cycle using the DRB.
3.2.3 Monitored Circuits
The ECM is able to monitor and identify most driveability related trouble conditions. Some circuits
are directly monitored through ECM feedback circuitry. In addition, the ECM monitors the voltage
state of some circuits and compares those states with expected values. Other systems are
monitored indirectly when the ECM conducts a rationality test to identify problems.
Although most subsystems of the powertrain control module are either directly or indirectly
monitored, there may be occasions when diagnostic trouble codes are not immediately identified.
For a trouble code to set, specific conditions must be met and unless these conditions are
encountered, a code will not set.
3.2.4 SKIS On-Board Diagnostics
The SKIS module has been programmed to transmit and monitor many different coded messages
as well as CCD Bus messages. This monitoring is called ``On-Board Diagnosis''.
Certain criteria must be met for a diagnostic trouble code to be entered into the Sentry Key
Immobilizer Module (SKIM) memory. The criteria may be a range of: input voltage, CCD Bus
messages, 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.
3.2.5 SKIS Overview
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) is an immobilizer system designed to prevent
unauthorized vehicle operation. The system consists of a Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM),
ignition key(s) equipped with a transponder chip, engine controller and body controller. When the
ignition switch is turned on, the SKIM interrogates the ignition key. If the ignition key is ªValidº the
SKIM sends a CCD Bus message to the body controller indicating the presence of a valid ignition
key. The BCM then supplies the ECM with a valid immobilizer signal allowing the engine to
continue to operate.
3.2.6 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 þ This is an electronically stored value (identification number) that is unique to each
SKIS. The secret key is stored in the SKIM, BCM and all ignition key transponders.
Challenge þ This is a random number that is generated by the SKIM at each ignition key cycle.

The secret key and challenge are plugged into an algorithm that produces the encrypted response
message. The transponder uses the crypto algorithm to receive, decode and respond to the
message sent by 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 SKIM memory (8 key maximum). After validating the key the SKIM sends a
CCD Bus message called a ªSeed Requestº to the body controller then waits for a body controller
response. If the body controller 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 body controller sends a seed response, the SKIM sends a valid/invalid key message to the
body controller. This is an encrypted message that is generated using the following:
VIN þ Vehicle Identification Number
Seed þ This is a random number that is generated by the BCM at each ignition key cycle.
The VIN and seed are plugged into a rolling code algorithm that encrypts the ªvalid/invalid keyº
message. The body controller uses the rolling code algorithm to receive, decode and respond to
the valid/invalid key message sent by SKIM. After sending the valid/invalid key message the SKIM
waits 3.5 seconds for a PCM status message from the body controller. If the BCM does not
respond with a valid key message to the SKIM, a fault is detected and a trouble code stored.
The SKIS incorporates a warning (``ALARM SET'') lamp located in the message center. The lamp
receives switched ignition voltage and is hardwired to the body controller. The lamp is actuated
when the SKIM sends a CCD Bus message to the body controller requesting the lamp on. The
body controller 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 malfunction
For all faults except transponder faults and VIN mismatch, the lamp remains on steady. In the
event of a transponder fault the light flashes at the 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 run (for 2 seconds) 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 is diagnosed by following a specific testing procedure. The
diagnostic test procedures contain step-by-step instructions for determining the cause of trouble
codes as well as no trouble code problems. It is not necessary to perform all of the tests in this
book to diagnose an individual code.
Always begin by reading the diagnostic trouble codes using the DRB. This procedure begins in
the DTC TEST - Checking the System for Diagnostic Trouble Codes. This will direct you to the
specific test(s) that must be performed.
3.3.1 Hard Code
A diagnostic trouble code that comes back within one cycle of the ignition key is a ªhardº code.
This means that the defect is there every time the engine control module/SKIM checks that circuit
or function. Procedures in this manual verify if the trouble code is a hard code at the beginning
of each test. When it is not a hard code, an ªintermittentº test must be performed.
