  4. Program the 4-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) into the SKIM.
  5. CAUTION: Enter correct country code in SKIM. If incorrect country code is entered, SKIM must be replaced.
  6. Select COUNTRY CODE and enter the correct country.
  7. Select UPDATE VIN (the SKIM will learn the VIN from the PCM).
  8. Press ENTER to transfer the VIN (the PCM will send the VIN to the SKIM).
