(4) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run/start) circuit cavity of the SKIM wire
harness connector. If OK, use a DRB scan tool and
the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual to complete
the diagnosis of the SKIS. If not OK, repair the open
circuit to the fuse in the fuseblock module as
required.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
SMART KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
TRANSPONDER PROGRAMMING
Two programmed Smart Key transponders are
included with the Smart Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) when it is shipped from the factory. The
Smart Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) can be pro-
grammed to recognize up to six additional transpon-
ders, for a total of eight Smart Keys. The following
ªCustomer Learnº programming procedure for the
programming of additional transponders requires
access to at least two of the valid Smart Keys. If two
valid Smart Keys are not available, Smart Key pro-
gramming will require the use of a DRB scan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual.
PROGRAMMING THE SKIM MODULE WITH
THE DRBIII
(1) Turn the ignition on. Transmission must be in
park or neutral. Alarm set lamp will flash.
(2) Use the DRBIII and select ªSKIMº under the
ªMISCELLANEOUSº menu.
(3) Select ªPROGRAM PINº and enter the cus-
tomer 4±digit PIN number.
(4) Select ªUPDATE VINº. The SKIM module will
learn the VIN from the PCM in gasoline engine vehi-
cles, and from the BCM in diesel engine vehicles.
(5) Select ªCOUNTRY CODEº and enter the cor-
rect country.
(6) Select ªPROGRAM NEW EMSº. The SKIM
module will send the ªsecret keyº data to the PCM.
(7) Program ignition keys to the SKIM module.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS WITH THE
DRBIII
(1) Turn ignition on. Transmission must be in park
or neutral. Alarm set lamp will flash.
(2) Use the DRBIII and select ªSKIMº under the
ªMISCELLANEOUSº menu.
(3) Select ªLEARN NEW KEYº. Alarm Set lamp
will begin flashing.
NOTE: The PIN must be re-entered each time an
additional key is learned.(4) Insert key into ignition switch. Once the key
has been learned, the Alarm Set lamp will turn off.

WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, REFER TO GROUP 8M - PASSIVE
RESTRAINT SYSTEMS BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY
STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, OR
INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR
SERVICE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIR-
BAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the knee blocker from the instrument
panel. See Knee Blocker in Group 8E - Instrument
Panel Systems for the procedures.
(3) Remove the three screws that secure the lower
steering column shroud to the upper shroud.
(4) If the vehicle is so equipped, move the tilt
steering column to the fully lowered position.
(5) If the vehicle is so equipped, loosen the two
nuts that secure the non-tilt steering column upper
mounting bracket to the dash panel steering column
support bracket studs. Lower the column far enough
to remove the upper steering column shroud.
(6) Remove both the upper and lower shrouds from
the steering column.

probe will drop the temperature 7ÉC (20ÉF) in two
minutes. If the Evaporator Probe is found to be
faulty, check that the sensor is positioned in the
evaporator fins properly. If not, correct and repeat
test. If OK, replace the evaporator probe.
Once the repairs are completed, repeat the Calibra-
tion Diagnostic and Cooldown test. Repeating the
test is necessary to clear the fault codes.
A/C PERFORMANCE TEST
The air conditioning system is designed to remove
heat and humidity from the air entering the passen-
ger compartment. The evaporator, located in the
heater A/C unit, is cooled to temperatures near the
freezing point. As warm damp air passes over the
fins in the evaporator, moisture in the air condenses
to water, dehumidifying the air. Condensation on the
evaporator fins reduces the evaporators ability to
absorb heat. During periods of high heat and humid-
ity, an air conditioning system will be less effective.
With the instrument control set to RECIRC, only air
from the passenger compartment passes through the
evaporator. As the passenger compartment air dehu-
midifies, A/C performance levels rise.
PERFORMANCE TEST PROCEDURE
Review Safety Precautions and Warnings in this
group before proceeding with this procedure. Air tem-
perature in test room and on vehicle must be 21É C
(70ÉF) minimum for this test.
NOTE: When connecting the service equipment
coupling to the line fitting, verify that the valve of
the coupling is fully closed. This will reduce the
amount of effort required to make the connection.
(1) Connect a tachometer and manifold gauge set.
(2) Set control to A/C, RECIRC, and PANEL, tem-
perature lever on full cool and blower on high.
(3) Start engine and hold at 1000 rpm with A/C
clutch engaged.(4) Engine should be warmed up with doors and
windows closed.
(5) Insert a thermometer in the left center A/C
outlet and operate the engine for five minutes. The
A/C clutch may cycle depending on ambient condi-
tions.
(6) With the A/C clutch engaged, compare the dis-
charge air temperature to the A/C Performance Tem-
peratures table.
(7) If the discharge air temperature fails to meet
the specifications in the performance temperature
chart. Refer to the Refrigerant Service Procedures for
further diagnosis.
A/C PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
The work area temperature must not be below
10ÉC (50ÉF) to test the compressor clutch circuit.
Before starting to test the transducer ensure that the
wire connector is clean of corrosion and connected
properly.
(1) With gear selector in park or neutral and park
brake set, start engine and allow to idle.
(2) Install scan tool (DRB):
²Go to main menu
²Select stand alone scan tool (DRB)
²Select refer to the proper year diagnostics
²Select climate control
²Select sensor display
²Select A/C high side volts
For A/C system to operate a voltage between .451
(Low Pressure Cutout) to 4.519 (High Pressure Cut-
out is required. Voltages outside this range indicate a
low or high pressure condition andwill notallow
the compressor to cycle.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

²No charge
²Compressor not operating
Verify that the test was done with the evaporator
at room temperature. The test consists of starting
the compressor and measuring the time it takes for
the evaporator temperature to fall 7ÉC (20ÉF). If the
compressor has been running, the evaporator is cold
already and will not be capable of falling 7ÉC (20ÉF).
If the test was run with a cold evaporator, turn A/C
off and turn the blower motor switch to high position
for 3 to 5 minutes till the evaporator is to room tem-
perature. Then repeat the Calibration Diagnostic and
Cooldown test.
If refrigerant system is performing properly and
the system will not pass test. Repeat the Calibration
Diagnostic and Cooldown test to determine if the
evaporator temperature FIN sensor has developed an
open or a short circuit. If the HVAC control module
still passes Calibration test, verify Cooldown test
manually with a pocket thermometer. The outlet air
temperature must drop at least 7ÉC (20ÉF) within
two minutes. If the vehicle passes with the manual
thermometer, take HVAC control to level 4 (evapora-
tor probe temperature readout) and repeat the
Cooldown test. Ensure the evaporator is at room tem-
perature before starting test. Check if evaporator
probe will drop the temperature 7ÉC (20ÉF) in two
minutes. If the Evaporator Probe is found to be
faulty, check that the sensor is positioned in the
evaporator fins properly. If not, correct and repeat
test. If OK, replace the evaporator probe.
Once the repairs are completed, repeat the Calibra-
tion Diagnostic and Cooldown test. Repeating the
test is necessary to clear the fault codes.
