Programming Ignition Keys To SKIM

  1. Connect DRBIII® scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). See Figure. Place transmission in Park or Neutral. Turn the ignition on, with the engine off.
  2. With DRBIII® scan tool, select THEFT ALARM, SKIM THEN MISCELLANEOUS.
  3. Select PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS.
    4. NOTE: A maximum of 8 keys can be learned by each SKIM at one time. Once a key is learned to SKIM, the key cannot be transferred to another vehicle.
  4. Enter secured access mode by entering the vehicle 4-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN). Follow DRBIII® scan tool prompts. If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the DRBIII® scan tool will display one of the following messages:
    • Programming Not Attempted -  The DRBIII® scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status and there are no keys programmed in the SKIM memory.
    • Programming Key Failed -  The SKIM is unable to program a key because it has a faulty transponder or the key is programmed to another vehicle.
    • 8 Keys Already Learned, Programming Not Done -  SKIM transponder identification memory is full. Obtain up to 8 keys to be programmed. Using the DRBIII® scan tool, erase all ignition keys by selecting MISC and ERASE ALL CURRENT IGN KEYS, then return to step  2.
    • Learned Key In Ignition -  Ignition key transponder identification is currently programmed in SKIM memory.
