Jeep Liberty KJ. Manual - part 1480

NOTE: Before replacing the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), be certain to check the related component/
circuit integrity for failures not detected due to a double fault in the circuit. Most PCM driver/control circuit
failures are caused by internal component failures (i.e. relays and solenoids) and shorted circuits (i.e. pull-
ups, drivers, and switched circuits). These failures are difficult to detect when a double fault has occurred
and only one Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) has been set.

When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) on vehicles
equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps
in order:

1. Program the new PCM.

2. Program the new SKREEM (also sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control Module or WCM).

3. Replace all ignition keys and program them into the new SKREEM/WCM.

PROGRAMMING THE PCM/SKREEM

The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKREEM/WCM. This code is programmed and stored in
the SKREEM/WCM, the PCM, and each ignition key transponder chip. When the PCM or SKREEM/WCM is
replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for “PCM Replaced” or “WCM Replaced” under “Miscella-
neous Functions” for the “WCM/Wireless Control Module” menu item as appropriate.

NOTE: Be certain to enter the correct country code for the SKREEM/WCM. If the incorrect country code is
programmed into the SKREEM, it cannot be changed and the SKREEM must be replaced.

NOTE: If the PCM and the SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, all vehicle ignition keys will need
to be replaced and new keys programmed into the new SKREEM/WCM.

NOTE: Programming the PCM or SKREEM is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to enter secure
access mode. If three attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an incorrect PIN, secure
access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn the ignition to the RUN posi-
tion for one hour then enter the correct PIN. (Ensure all accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the bat-
tery state and connect a battery charger if necessary).

PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM

Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is manufactured.
When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is learned by the module and the
transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the
SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for “Program Ignition Keys or Key
FOBs” under “Miscellaneous Functions” for the “WCM/Wireless Control Module” menu item.

NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a SKREEM, that
key has acquired the Secret Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any other SKREEM or vehi-
cle.

If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error messages:

•

Programming Not Attempted - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status and there are no
keys programmed into SKREEM memory.

•

Programming Key Failed (Possible Used Key From Wrong Vehicle) - SKREEM is unable to program an
ignition key transponder due to one of the following:

− The ignition key transponder is faulty.

− The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.

•

8 Keys Already Learned, Programming Not Done - The SKREEM transponder ID memory is full.

•

Learned Key In Ignition - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock cylinder is
already programmed into SKREEM memory.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES

MODULE-ANTILOCK BRAKE

DESCRIPTION

The Antilock Brake Module (ABM) (1) is mounted to
the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) (3) and operates the
ABS system.

OPERATION

The ABM voltage source is through the ignition switch in the RUN position. The ABM contains dual microprocessors.
A logic block in each microprocessor receives identical sensor signals. These signals are processed and compared
simultaneously. The ABM contains a self check program that illuminates the ABS warning light when a system fault
is detected. Faults are stored in a diagnostic program memory and are accessible with the scan tool. ABS faults
remain in memory until cleared, or until after the vehicle is started approximately 50 times. Stored faults are not
erased if the battery is disconnected.

REMOVAL

1. Remove the negative battery cable from the bat-

tery.

2. Pull up on the ABM harness connector (4) release

and remove connector.

3. Remove the pump connector from the ABM.
