DTC Descriptor

DTC B3935 00

- Transponder Authentication Error

Circuit/System Description

When an ignition key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder and the ignition mode is changed, the transponder embedded in the head of the key

is energized by the exciter coils surrounding the ignition lock cylinder. The energized transponder transmits a signal that contains its unique value,

which is received by the body control module (BCM). The BCM then compares this value to a value stored in memory. If the value is not correct,

the BCM disables engine start.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* Ignition is in the Accessory or Run position.

* A valid transponder value has been read.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

* The transponder value is valid and matches the value stored in the BCM memory.

* The transponder calculation of the challenge from the BCM does not match the BCM calculation.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* Vehicle starting will be disabled.

* The security indicator will illuminate. The driver information center will display a service message.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* A current DTC will be cleared when a valid transponder value has been read and authenticated.

* A history DTC will be cleared after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles.
