- When Monitored:
At ignition on or after ignition on during any rolling code handshake that occurs with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

- Set Condition:
When a PCM STATUS message with a Valid Key status is not received by the Wireless Control Module (WCM) within 3.5 seconds of transmitting the last Valid Key Code message to the PCM.





1. DETERMINING IF DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IS CURRENT
1. Using the scan tool, erase WCM DTCs.
2. Turn the ignition off.
3. Wait 10 seconds.
4. Turn the ignition on and wait two minutes.
5. Using the scan tool, read WCM DTCs.

Does the scan tool display the DTC that was previously erased?

- Go To 2

No

- Go To 4

2. VERIFYING THE PCM VIN
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Using the scan tool, select Engine system from the main menu.
3. Display and record the Vehicle Identification Number.

NOTE: Make sure that a VIN has been programmed into the PCM. If a VIN is not displayed, attempt to program the PCM with the correct VIN before continuing.

Does the VIN recorded from the PCM match the VIN of the vehicle?

Yes

- Go To 3

No

- Perform the PCM replaced routine to update the VIN in the PCM.
- Perform the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE (WCM) VERIFICATION TEST. Wireless Control Module (WCM) Verification Test

3. REPLACE WCM AND CHECK DTCS

Yes

- Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module.
- Perform the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE (WCM) VERIFICATION TEST. Wireless Control Module (WCM) Verification Test

No

- The repair is complete.
- Perform the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE (WCM) VERIFICATION TEST. Wireless Control Module (WCM) Verification Test

4. INTERMITTENT
1. Turn the ignition off.

- Search for any Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) that may apply.

Were any problems found?

Yes

- Repair wiring harness/connectors as necessary.
- Perform the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE (WCM) VERIFICATION TEST. Wireless Control Module (WCM) Verification Test
