Central Control Module (CCM)

Circuit Description:

When a CCM is replaced, it must be programmed to accept the resistance value of the existing vehicle keys to allow PASS-Key(R) operation The CCM prompts the technician to insert two of the three keys in succession. The CCM compares the resistances of each of the keys inserted and, if they are both within the same resistance "window," the programming sequence ends and the PASS-Key(R) system is ready for operation.

The PASS-Key(R) detection circuit is completed by the PASS-Key(R) (with embedded resistor pellet) in the ignition lock cylinder. Contacts in the ignition lock cylinder mate with those on the pellet, and the CCM reads the key pellet resistance.

Code 62 will set if the resistance of Key # 2 is higher than the upper limit of the resistance window defined by Key # 1.

Test Description

Number(s) below refers to circled number(s) on the diagnostic chart.

1. This test checks if Key # 2 is in the same resistance "window" as Key # 1, which the CCM is programmed to from the first step of the programming sequence. If it is, the code problem may be due to intermittents; if it is not, then compare the third key in the set to determine which key in the set is faulty.

Diagnostic Aids

Check for poor connections at both the CCM and the ignition lock cylinder connector; these could cause an open, short, incorrect PASS-Key(R) resistance, or an intermittent fault. Refer to "Intermittents/Poor Connections".

Make sure the key resistor contacts are clean and free of any grease, oil, etc. These substances could interfere with the key detection circuit.
Make sure the key resistor is clean, clear the CCM codes, and try the programming sequence again. If the code resets, replace the CCM.
