Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
When an ignition key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder and the
ignition is switched ON, the transponder
embedded in the key is energized by the exciter coil surrounding the ignition
lock cylinder. The transponder
transmits a signal to the immobilizer control module. The immobilizer control
module translates this signal to a
serial data message which is sent to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then
compares this value to a
value stored in memory. If the value is correct, the BCM will send the
prerelease password via the serial data
circuit to the engine control module (ECM). If the learned key code does not
match or a transponder value is not
received, the BCM will send the start disable password to the ECM.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition is in the Accessory or Run position.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects a circuit fault on the immobilizer antenna circuits.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
- Vehicle starting will be disabled.
- The security indicator in the instrument cluster will be illuminated. A
service message will be displayed
in the driver information center.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
- A current DTC will be cleared when the condition for setting the DTC are
no longer present.
- A history DTC will be cleared after 100 malfunction-free ignition
cycles.
Diagnostic Aids
Because of how the key information is stored in the BCM and the ECM, it may
be necessary to begin
immobilizer programming with a new vehicle key if DTC B2955 sets immediately
after attempting to program
a new BCM. This will allow the key information to be transferred between the BCM
and the ECM. DTC P0633
may also be set in the ECM and a "No Communication with driver ID Device" error
may be displayed during
the BCM programming. After programming has begun with the new vehicle key, the
existing vehicle keys may
then be programmed.

Circuit/System Testing
- Verify DTC B2955 did not set immediately after the replacement or
programming of the K9 Body
Control Module or after performing the Immobilizer System Component
Programming procedure.
- If the DTC set immediately after the replace or programming of the K9
Body Control
Module or after performing the Immobilizer System Component Programming
procedure.
Perform the Immobilizer System Component Programming procedure using a new
vehicle key.
After the new key has been learned, the existing vehicle keys may be learned to
the vehicle.
- If the DTC did not set immediately after the replace or programming of
the K9 Body Control
Module or after performing the Immobilizer System Component Programming
procedure.
- Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness
connector at the K89 Immobilizer
Control Module. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power
down.
- Verify a test lamp illuminates between the low reference circuit
terminal 1 and B+.
If the test lamp does not illuminate
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control
Module.
- Test for less than 2 ohms in the low reference circuit end to end.
- If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
- If the test lamp illuminates
- Ignition ON.
NOTE: In some instances, the K9 Body Control Module may only apply
voltage for
3 s immediately after the ignition is turned ON. It may be necessary to
monitor the DMM while turning the ignition ON to observe the voltage.
- Test for greater than 9 V between the B+ circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control
Module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the
circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms in the B+ circuit end to end.
- If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
- If greater than 9 V
- Test for greater than 4 V between the serial data circuit terminal 2 and
ground.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control
Module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the serial data circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the
circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms in the serial data circuit end to end.
- If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
- If greater than 4 V
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K9 Body Control
Module, ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the K89 Immobilizer Control Module serial
data circuit terminal 2 and
ground.
Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- Replace the K89 Immobilizer Control Module.
- Verify DTC B2955 does not set while operating the vehicle under the
conditions for running the DTC.
Replace the K9 Body Control Module.
- All OK.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the repair.
Control Module References for body control module or immobilizer control module
replacement,
programming, and setup.
