DTC Descriptor

DTC B3055 00: No Transponder Modulation or No Transponder

Circuit/System Description

Without BTM/ATH

When an ignition key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder and the ignition is switched ON, the transponder embedded in the key is energised by the exciter coils surrounding the ignition lock cylinder. The transponder transmits a signal to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then compares this value to a value stored in memory. If the value is correct, the BCM will send the prerelease password via the serial data circuit to the engine control module (ECM). If the learned key code does not match or a transponder value is not received, the BCM will send the start disable password to the ECM.

With BTM/ATH

When a keyless entry transmitter is inserted into the transmitter pocket/slot and the ignition mode switch is pressed, the transponder embedded in the transmitter is energised by the immobiliser aerial exciter coil. The transponder transmits a signal to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then compares this value to a value stored in memory. If the value is correct, the BCM will send the prerelease password via the serial data circuit to the engine control module (ECM). If the learned key code does not match or a transponder value is not received, the BCM will send the start disable password to the ECM.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition is in the Accessory or Run position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM is unable to measure the ignition key transponder value.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • Vehicle starting will be disabled.
    • The security indicator will illuminate. A service message will be displayed in the driver information centre.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • A current DTC will be cleared when the BCM detects a valid transponder value from the ignition key.
    • A history DTC will be cleared after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification
  1. Ignition ON.
  2. Verify that DTC B1370, B1380, or B1441 is not set.
    3. [ARW-LISTFAIL]

  3. If any of the DTCs are set

    Refer to DTC B1370-B1379, B1380-B1389, or B1440-B1443 .

    4. [/ARW-LISTFAIL][ARW-LISTPASS]

  4. If none of the DTCs are set

    5. [/ARW-LISTPASS]
  5. Verify the scan tool BCM Accessory parameter changes between Active and Inactive when turning the ignition ON and OFF.
    6. [ARW-LISTFAIL]

  6. If the parameter does not change

    Refer to Power Mode Mismatch .

    7. [/ARW-LISTFAIL][ARW-LISTPASS]

  7. If the parameter changes

    8. [/ARW-LISTPASS]
  8. Verify all available keys are correct for the vehicle. This can be accomplished by comparing the part number that is laser etched on the key, to the part number listed in the parts catalog.
    9. [ARW-LISTFAIL]

  9. If a key is not correct

    Replace the key

    10. [/ARW-LISTFAIL][ARW-LISTPASS]

  10. If all keys are correct

    11. [/ARW-LISTPASS]
  11. Verify the scan tool BCM Key Part Number parameter displays a Key Part Number when turning the ignition ON with each key.
    12. [ARW-LISTFAIL]

  12. If a Key Part Number is not read

    Replace the appropriate key.

    13. [/ARW-LISTFAIL][ARW-LISTPASS]

  13. If a Key Part Number is read for each key

    14. [/ARW-LISTPASS]
  14. All OK.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the repair.
