SYMPTOM
ROLLING CODE FAILURE

WHEN MONITORED

SET CONDITION
This condition exists when a PCM STATUS message is not received by the SKIM within 3.5 seconds of transmitting what the SKIM believes to be a "key code" message to the PCM. The "key code" sent by the SKIM may or may not be "valid" in this case.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
- Hard skim VIN mismatch
- PCM EEPROM DTC present
- Skim communication link failure
- Skim EEPROM failure
- Skim PCM failure
- Skim PCM problem
- Skim unidentified problem
- Skim VIN mismatch
- VIN does not match
- VIN mismatch not cleared
