Initialization Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2003 Dodge Intrepid, 2003 Chrysler Intrepid, 2003 Chrysler Concorde, 2003 Chrysler 300M, and 2002 Dodge Intrepid. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: If wrong country code is programmed into Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) when requested, SKIM must be replaced.

Obtain vehicle's unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) code assigned to original SKIM module from vehicle owner or Chrysler's customer center before performing the following procedure:

  1. Turn ignition switch to ON position and ensure vehicle transmission is in Park or Neutral. Using scan tool, select THEFT ALARM, SKIM, MISCELLANEOUS, then select SKIM MODULE REPLACEMENT and follow scan tool prompts.
  2. Program unique 4-digit PIN code into SKIM. Select COUNTRY CODE and program correct country code into SKIM's memory (U.S.).
  3. Select UPDATE VIN and press ENTER. Powertrain Control Module (PCM) will transfer Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to SKIM automatically.
  4. Scan tool will ask if "Secret Key" data is to be transferred. Press ENTER to transfer vehicle's unique "Secret Key" data from PCM. This process will ensure all current vehicle keys will still operate Sentry Key Immobilizer System.
