NOTE:
Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) will only remain in secured access mode for 60 seconds. If incorrect unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) is entered 3 times, SKIM will be locked for one hour. To unlock SKIM, turn ignition on for one hour. When SKIM is locked, scan tool will display BUS +/- SIGNALS OPEN.
NOTE:
If Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is replaced, the correct vehicle mileage and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be programmed into PCM to prevent DTCs from being set in Controller Anti-Lock Brake (CAB) and Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) module.
- Obtain vehicle's unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) assigned to SKIM from vehicle owner or manufacturer. Turn ignition off. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, enter correct VIN and mileage into PCM. Go to next step.
- Using scan tool, clear DTCs from CAB and ORC. Using scan tool, select SKIM REPLACEMENT. Enter 4-digit PIN to put SKIM in access mode. Using scan tool, transfer vehicle secret key data from SKIM to PCM. Go to next step.
- Attempt to start engine. If engine does not start or stay running, repair by symptom. See TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - CARS - EXCEPT SEBRING COUPE & STRATUS COUPE article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. If engine starts and stays running and customer complaint cannot be duplicated, system is operating correctly. Repair is complete.
