Body Control Modules: Diagnosis Chrysler 300M I

Scan Tool Method

Turn ignition off. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Turn ignition on. Following scan tool manufacturer instructions, program remote transmitter.

Obtain vehicle's unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) assigned to SKIM from vehicle owner or manufacturer. Cut blank key. Insert key into ignition switch. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, select THEFT ALARM, then SKIM. Select MISCELLANEOUS, then PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS. Enter 4-digit PIN. When programming is complete, SKIM will exit SECURED ACCESS mode and display status of key. PROGRAMMING SUCCESSFUL is displayed if SKIM smart key programming succeeds. If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, one of the following status messages may be displayed as follows

  1. LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION is displayed if key in the ignition has already been programmed into vehicle's SKIM.
  2. 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE is displayed if 8 keys have already been programmed into SKIM. If a new key needs to be added due to a lost or defective key, the ERASE ALL KEYS function has to be performed. Original 7 keys plus additional new key may then be reprogrammed into SKIM.
  3. PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED is displayed after an ERASE ALL KEYS function is executed.
  4. PROGRAMING KEY FAILED is displayed if further diagnosis is required.

To program additional keys, turn ignition off. Remove current programmed key and insert next new blank key. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Re-enter SECURED ACCESS mode function and repeat PROGRAM NEW KEY procedure.

PRETEST INSPECTION

CAUTIONAlways turn ignition off before disconnecting any control module connector. Failure to do so could result in damage to control module. When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery.

Note. Do not use a test light in place of a voltmeter unless instructed to do so. Always disconnect scan tool before charging battery. Always perform appropriate verification test after repairs are made. See appropriate test under VERIFICATION TESTS .

Verify customer complaint. Inspect all system fuses. Check for loose accessory drive belt. Check all fluid levels. Check components for visible damage. Check components for loose/poor connections, corrosion and backed-out terminals. Check battery condition and battery terminals. Ensure charging system is operating properly. Check for damaged wiring. Check ground connections. See GROUND DISTRIBUTION article in WIRING DIAGRAMS. Correct any obvious problems before continuing with testing. If no problems exist, go to SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM .

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM

CAUTIONAlways turn ignition off before disconnecting any control module connectors. Failure to do so could result in damage to control module. When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery.

Note. Diagnostic tests are written specifically for Chrysler Diagnostic Readout Box (DRBIII(R)) scan tool. A generic scan tool may not be capable of performing all necessary test functions.

  1. If pretest inspection procedure has been performed, go to next step. If pretest inspection procedure has not been performed, perform pretest inspection. See «PRETEST INSPECTION»(ref-37884-S36706717902001011000000) under TROUBLE SHOOTING.
  2. Turn ignition off. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, attempt to communicate with all modules. If communication is established with all modules, go to next step. If communication is not established with any module, perform appropriate test under «COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM»(ref-37884-S20403013192001011000000) under SYSTEM TESTS.
  3. Using scan tool, retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) from all modules. If any DTCs exist, perform appropriate test(s). See «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION»(ref-37884-S09732796892001011000000) table. If no DTCs exist, repair by symptom. See «SYMPTOM IDENTIFICATION»(ref-37884-S39909830572001011000000) table.
