Updating Secret Key Data

  1. Connect DRBIII® scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC) located below left side of instrument panel. Ensure transmission is in Park (A/T) or Neutral (M/T). Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, select THEFT ALARM, SKIM, and then MISCELLANEOUS. Select PCM REPLACED.
  2. Place the SKIM in SECURED ACCESS MODE by entering the appropriate 4-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) for this vehicle. PIN may be obtained from the owner, vehicle's invoice, or from the manufacturer. Press ENTER to transfer secret key data from Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) to the PCM. This will enable the vehicle to start.
  3. If 3 attempts are made to enter the SECURED ACCESS MODE by using an incorrect PIN, the SECURED ACCESS MODE will be locked out for one hour. To exit lock out mode, leave ignition on with all accessories turned off. After one hour, enter correct PIN. It may be necessary to monitor battery voltage and connect a battery charger.
