Sentry Key Immobilizer System Verification Test

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.
  1. Obtain vehicle's unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) assigned to SKIM from vehicle owner or manufacturer. Turn ignition off. Remove all test equipment and jumper wires. Connect any disconnected components. Go to next step.
  2. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, select SKIM REPLACEMENT. Enter 4-digit PIN to put Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) in access mode. Go to next step.
  3. Using scan tool, select THEFT ALARM, SKIM, MISCELLANEOUS, then select desired procedure and follow steps displayed on scan tool. If SKIM has been replaced, ensure all keys and remote transmitters to be used with vehicle are programmed into SKIM. Go to next step.
  4. Using scan tool, retrieve, record and clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) from all modules. If no DTCs exist, system is operating correctly and customer complaint cannot be duplicated, repair is complete. If any DTCs exist, perform appropriate test.
