If the Powertrain Control Module has been
changed and the correct VIN and mileage have not
been programmed, a DTC will be set in the ABS and

transferred from the SKIM to the PCM (This is
required to allow the vehicle to start with the

access mode using the incorrect PIN, secured
access mode will be locked out for one hour. To
