Theory of Operation

When a key is inserted in the ignition switch and is turned to the Run/Start position, the Wireless Control Module (WCM) performs a self-test and re-synchronization routine. During this routine, the WCM interrogates the key, performing various validity and performance tests.

- When Monitored:
With the ignition switch on.

NOTE: Before continuing review and check the following conditions:
- Review the repair history of the vehicle. Make sure the vehicle has the correct Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and WCM installed. Check the part numbers.
- Using a scan tool, make sure the PCM and WCM have been programmed correctly. Compare the PCM VIN to the WCM VIN and ensure the two VINS match.

1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Using the scan tool, clear the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
