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) prob-
lems; they are no start, diagnostic trouble code
(DTC), 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 appropri-
ate service information for the proper removal and
repair procedure.
Diagnostic procedures change every year. New
diagnostic systems may be added; carryover sys-
tems 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 7.0. This will cover all the necessary re-
quirements 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 DTCs 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
2001 RG body vehicles equipped with the 2.5L VM
diesel engine.
1.2 SIX-STEP TROUBLESHOOTING
PROCEDURE
Diagnosis of the engine control module (ECM)
and sentry key immobilizer system (SKIS) is done
in six basic steps:
²verification of complaint
²verification of any related symptom
²symptom analysis
²problem isolation
²repair of isolated problem
²verification of proper operation
NOTE: All tests in this manual should be per-
formed with the engine at operating temperature,
unless specified within a particular test.
2.0 IDENTIFICATION OF
SYSTEM
The ECM is located in the left side of the engine
compartment between the left front headlamp and
the intelligent power module. The sentry key immo-
bilizer module (SKIM) is located below the steering
column behind the steering wheel.
3.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND
FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 2.5L VM diesel engine system is equipped
with the latest in technical advances. The on-board
diagnostics incorporated in the engine control mod-
ule and SKIM are intended to assist the field
technician in repairing vehicle problems by the
quickest means.
The engine system incorporates a common rail
fuel delivery design. This design utilizes electroni-
cally controlled solenoid valve type fuel injectors.
Each injector is controlled individually by the ECM.
Injector timing and fuel quantity are controlled by
the ECM based on inputs from the various sensors.
The precision control of the injectors by the ECM
helps to reduce the engine noise, odor and smoke.
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 diagnostics.
Certain criteria must be met for a trouble code to
be entered into the ECM memory. The criteria may
be a range of: engine rpm, engine temperature, time
or other input signals to the ECM. If all of the
criteria for monitoring a system or circuit are met,
and a problem is sensed, then a DTC will be stored
in the ECM memory.
It is possible that a DTC for a monitored circuit
may not be entered into the ECM memory, even
though a malfunction has occurred. This may hap-
pen when the monitoring criteria has not been met.
The ECM compares input signal voltages from
each input device with specifications (the estab-
lished high and low limits of the input range) that
are programmed into it for that device. If the input
voltage is not within the specifications and other
trouble code criteria are met, a DTC will be stored
in the ECM memory.

GENERAL INFORMATION

sponder ID message to the SKIM. The SKIM com-
pares the transponder ID message to the available
valid key codes in SKIM memory (8 key maximum
at any one time). After validating the ignition key,
the SKIM sends a PCI Bus message called a seed
request to the ECM, then waits for the ECM re-
sponse. If the ECM 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 in memory. If the
ECM sends a seed response, the SKIM sends a
valid/invalid key message to the ECM. This is an
encrypted message that is generated using the
following:
VIN - Vehicle Identification Number.
Seed - This is a random number that is generated
by the ECM at each ignition key cycle.
The VIN and seed are two variables used in the
rolling code algorithm that encrypts the valid/
invalid key message. The ECM uses the rolling code
algorithm to receive, decode and respond to the
valid/invalid key message sent by the SKIM. After
sending the valid/invalid key message, the SKIM
waits 3.5 seconds for an ECM status message from
the ECM. If the ECM does not respond with a valid
key message to the SKIM, a fault is detected and a
code is stored.
The SKIS incorporates a warning lamp located in
the information center. The lamp receives switched
ignition voltage and is hardwired to the body con-
trol module. The lamp is actuated when the SKIM
sends a PCI Bus message to the body control
module requesting the lamp on. The body control
module 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 malfunc-
tion
± when the SKIM is in customer key programming
mode
For all faults except transponder faults the lamp
remains on steady. In the event of a transponder
fault the lamp will flash at a 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 idle for 2 seconds then stall.
This may occur 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 (DTC) is diagnosed
by following a specific procedure. The diagnostic
test procedure contains step-by-step instruction fordetermining the cause of the DTC as well as no
trouble code problems. It is not necessary to per-
form all of the tests in this book to diagnose an
individual code.
Always begin diagnosis by reading the DTC's
using the DRBIIIt.
3.3.1 HARD CODE
A DTC that comes back within one cycle of the
ignition key is a hard code. This means that the
problem is current every time the ECM/SKIM
checks that circuit or function. Procedures in this
manual verify if the DTC is a hard code at the
beginning of each test. When the fault is not a hard
code, an intermittent test must be performed.
NOTE: If the DRBIIItdisplays faults for multiple
components (i.e. ECT, VSS, Oil Temp sensors) iden-
tify and check the shared circuits for possible prob-
lems before continuing (i.e. sensor grounds or 5-volt
supply circuits). Refer to the appropriate schematic
to identify shared circuits.
3.3.2 INTERMITTENT CODE
A DTC that is not current every time the ECM/
SKIM checks the circuit or function is an intermit-
tent code. Most intermittent DTCs are caused by
wiring or connector problems. Problems 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 the related wire harness connec-
tors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or cor-
roded terminals.
²Visually inspect the related wire harness. Look
for chafed, pierced, or partially broken wire.
²Refer to 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 ECM DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
IMPORTANT NOTE:Before replacing the ECM
for a failed driver, control circuit or ground circuit,
be sure to check the related component/circuit in-
tegrity for failures not detected due to a double fault
in the circuit. Most ECM driver/control circuit fail-
ures are caused by internal failures to components
(i.e. relays and solenoids) and shorted circuits (i.e.
sensor pull-ups, drivers and ground circuits). These
faults are difficult to detect when a double fault has
occurred and only one DTC has set.
If the DRB displays faults for multiple compo-
nents (i.e. VSS, ECT, Batt Temp, etc.), identify and
