Standard Procedure - Pcm/SKREEM Programming: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Before replacing the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), be certain to check the related component/circuit integrity for failures not detected due to a double fault in the circuit. Most PCM driver/control circuit failures are caused by internal component failures (i.e. relays and solenoids) and shorted circuits (i.e. pull-ups, drivers, and switched circuits). These failures are difficult to detect when a double fault has occurred and only one DTC has been set.

When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:

  1. Program the new PCM.
  2. Program the new SKREEM (also sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control Module or WCM).
  3. Replace all ignition keys and program them into the new SKREEM/WCM.
