Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Electronic Entry Module: Diagnostics
The EEM system is fully addressable with DRB III(R) and it is the recommended method for diagnosis. The EEM system does not display any Diagnostic Trouble Codes. All of the input switches to the EEM can be read with DRB under the I/O screen. The doors can be unlatched with the DRB under actuator tests. If the inputs are OK and the outputs can be cycled with the DRB, the problem is usually the Electronic Entry Module.
