Skis Verification Test
NOTE:
For component location, see COMPONENT LOCATIONSΒ
. For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATIONΒ
. For circuit identification and wiring diagram, see appropriate WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
- Reconnect all previously disconnected components and connectors.
- Obtain the vehicle's unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) assigned to original SKIM. This number may be obtained from the vehicle's owner or manufacturer.
- When entering the PIN, care should be taken because the SKIM will only allow 3 consecutive attempts to enter the correct PIN. If 3 consecutive incorrect PINs are entered, the SKIM will lock out the DRBIII(R) for one hour.
- To exit lock out mode, the ignition key must remain in the Run position continually for one hour. Turn off all accessories and connect a battery charger if necessary.
- With the DRBIII(R), select Theft Alarm, SKIM and Misc. Then select desired procedure and follow screen prompts.
- If the SKIM has been replaced, ensure all of the vehicle's ignition keys are programmed to the new SKIM.
- Prior to returning vehicle to the customer, perform a module scan with the DRBIII(R) to ensure that all DTCs are erased. With the DRBIII(R), erase any DTCs that are found.
- Perform 5 ignition key cycles leaving the key on for at least 90 seconds per cycle.
- With the DRB III(R), read the SKIM DTCs. Are there any SKIM DTCs? If yes, repair is not complete. Perform appropriate test. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONSΒ . If no, repair is complete.
