3.3.2 Intermittent Code
A diagnostic trouble code that is not there every time the engine control module/SKIM checks the
circuit is an ªintermittentº code. Most intermittent codes are caused by wiring or connector
problems. Defects that come and go like this are the most difficult to diagnose; they must be
looked for under specific conditions that cause them. The following checks may assist you in
identifying a possible intermittent problem:
²Visually inspect related wire harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or
corroded terminals.
²Visually inspect the related harnesses. Look for chafed, pierced, or partially broken wire.
²Refer to any hotlines or technical service bulletins that may apply.
NOTE: Electromagnetic (radio) interference can cause an intermittent system malfunction. This
interference can interrupt communication between the ignition key transponder and the SKIM.
3.3.3 Reset Counter
The reset counter counts the number of times the vehicle has been started since codes were last
set, erased, or the battery was disconnected. The reset counter will count up to 255 start counts.
The number of starts helps determine when the trouble code actually happened. This is recorded
by the ECM and can be viewed on the DRB as the RESET COUNTER.
When there are no trouble codes stored in memory, the DRB will display ªNO TROUBLE CODES
FOUNDº and the reset counter will show ªRESET COUNT = XXX.º

3.3.6 Handling No Trouble Code Problems
After reading Section 3.0 (System Description and Functional Operation), you should have a
better understanding of the theory and operation of the on-board diagnostics, and how this relates
to the diagnosis of a vehicle that may have a driveability-related symptom or complaint.
The ``no code'' system is broken down into three test methods:
± No Code Complete Test
± No Code Quick Individual Test
± No Code Quick Symptom Test
3.4 Using the DRB
Refer to the DRB user's guide for instructions and assistance with reading trouble codes, erasing
trouble codes, and other DRB functions.
3.5 DRB Error Messages and Blank Screen
Under normal operation, the DRB will display one of only two error messages:
± ± User-Requested WARM Boot or User-Requested COLD Boot
This is a sample of such an error message display:
ver: 2.14
date: 26 Jul93
file: key_itf.cc
date: Jul 26 1993
line 548
err: 0x1
User-Requested COLD Boot
Press MORE to switch between this display
and the application screen.
Press F4 when done noting information.

3.5.1 DRB Does 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 at DLC cavity 16 is required to adequately power the DRB. Check for proper ground
connection at DLC cavities 4 and 5.
If all connections are proper between the DRB and the vehicle or other devices, and the vehicle
battery is fully charged, an inoperative DRB may be the result of faulty cable or vehicle wiring. For
a blank screen, refer to the appropriate diagnostics manual.
3.5.2 Display is Not Visible
Low temperatures will affect the visibility of the display. Adjust the contrast to compensate for this
condition.
