- Perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure.Testing and Inspection
- Perform the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE (WCM) VERIFICATION TEST. . Wireless Control Module (WCM) Verification Test

No

- Go To 4

4. VIN PROGRAMMED INTO PCM
1. Using the scan tool, display the VIN that is programmed in the PCM.

Has a VIN been programmed into the PCM?

Yes

- Go To 5

No

- Program the correct VIN into the PCM and retest.
- Perform the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE (WCM) VERIFICATION TEST. . Wireless Control Module (WCM) Verification Test

5. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Replace and program the WCM.

NOTE: If this vehicle is equipped with a Steering Column Lock Module, it must be replaced along with the WCM.

5. Attempt to start and idle the engine.
6. Using the scan tool, read the PCM DTCs.

Does the scan tool display this code?

Yes

- NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary. Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module.

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

No

- Test Complete.

6. IGNITION KEY

NOTE: You must obtain the WCM pin number.

NOTE: This DTC could have been set if the WCM harness connector was disconnected, or if the WCM was replaced recently.

NOTE: All keys that the customer uses for this vehicle must be tested to verify they are operating properly.

1. Ignition on, engine not running.
2. Verify the correct VIN is programmed into the PCM and WCM.
3. Turn the ignition off.
