PKE Not Working

[CurlyBum]

Hi,

I have a 1995. It seems that my PKE has stopped working. The doors lock by key only or manually from the inside. Fuse #26 - PKE is in good working order.

The hatch still opens with the Key FOB and opens from the internal buttons as well.

Does anyone have any ideas? Is there some sort of unit that controls this. Is it a matter of re-instating the PKE system. From reading on-line, it appears that newer models have the option of shutting the PKE off if wanted. Do the C4s have it as well?

Any help would be great, Thx!

Hope this will help you out . There is a module for the PKE

On a 94-96 you can check the codes with a paper clip as follows:

You short pin "12" to pin "4" and turn the ignition switch to "On" without starting the engine.

The speedometer will display any codes using the same protocol as the 1990-1993 model but there are some changes in the designation for the modules plus additional modules are added:

Module "1" is still the CCM module.

Module "4" is now called the PCM module (Powertrain Control Module) because automatic transmission computer control was added to Engine Control Module in 1994.

Module 7 (on the 1996 model only) is the RTD module. (This is the Real Time Dampening module which replaced the Selective Ride Control module in 1996).

Module 9 is the ABS/ASR module number from 1994 through 1996.
Finally, Module "A", the DERM (Dynamic Energy Control Module --- (the air bag control module) will be requested to show any codes.

Just like the 1990-1993 display, you read the codes on the speedometer (big) and read the module number on the trip odometer (small).

A series of dashed lines for instance “ - - -“ indicates no more stored codes for that module.

A code showing as “C12” for the CCM module (module #1) means no codes are stored. So C12 is a good thing to see.

Again, you can cause the codes to repeat by turning the ignition off for five seconds and then back on.

Turn the ignition off and remove the short to restore normal operation.

To clear the codes,

1. With ignition "off" ground terminal #12 of the DLC (use bent paper clip to connect pin 4 to pin 12)

2. Turn ignition "on".

3. Press trip/odo button on the DIC until 1.7 appears in the trip
monitor area of the instrument cluster.

4. Press eng/met button on the DIC & hold until "---" appears in the
speedometer area of the cluster, this will clear CCM DTC'S.


To clear PCM/ECM codes do the following:


1. Press the trip reset button on the DIC until the desired system is displayed. In this case it will be 4.0.

2. Press trip/odo button on the DIC until the desired diagnostic mode(4.7) is displayed on the trip monitor area of the cluster.

3. Press & hold the eng/met button on the DIC until "---" is
displayed in the speedometer area of the cluster, this will clear PCM codes.


To clear ABS/ASR codes do the following:

Same as above but you’re looking for “9.7” on the trip odo

And here are the codes

To run a diagnostic on the PKE system, connect pins 4 and 8 on the ALDL


And the PKE diagnostic system works as follows:
With pins 4 and 8 connected, the PKE light in the Driver Info Centre will flash the codes.

Here is the list of DTCs and what they mean:

DTC #12: Receiver Memory Bad
DTC #13: Transmitter Not in Range
DTC #14: Non-Valid Transmitter Received
DTC #15: Valid Transmitter Received
DTC #16: Passenger Door Button Depressed
DTC #17: Hatch Button Depressed

Hi Manny,

I appreciate the answer. I'm not sure I follow everything though....

Where is this module that I'm supposed to short? How does all the info you provided me help me figure out what's wrong with my PKE?

Thx CB

 

[CurlyBum]

oh, and I did not see an attached pic....

 

[Manny@Dasilva]

It's not an easy job and the location can only be accessed by taking the top dash panel out, which consists of approximately 10 screws. On the right hand side there is an air vent panel that has to be removed to access a bolt which holds the dash panel. Right under the fuse panel there is also a bolt holding the dash panel. Then in the center of the dash pad holding the defroster grill there are two bolts holding it. They are around 8 mm. Then you have to remove the trim panel around the inside of the cluster to access the other hidden screws around the dash pad. Once all screws are removed, lift dash pad and pull back toward windshield to release the rear dash pins from dash pad reinforcement frame. Once the cluster is removed, you'll see a tone generator modular which is held on with velcro . Remove the tone generator modular. Directly under there is the PKE modular behind the A/C head in the center of the dash. The PKE modular is also held on with velcro and one plastic clip or strap. It's a two prong connector. Then you can do your test from there to see if it's bad. That's the best I can do for you. The shop manuals are readily available especially for your year. You can also buy a Chilton's or Motor's Manual.

Wow! They sure didn't want that baby to come out!!!!!

 

[CurlyBum]

Ok... Before i get into what you are suggesting, are there any other components, etc that I should check before tearing the dash apart? ...maybe a list of possibles besides the module...?
If I can confidently eliminate the other possibles, then it would the Attack of The Dashboard...

No , follow the instructions I set out and get to the PKE module , thats where your problem is .
