NOTE: After a SKREEM/WCM is replaced, the ignition/transponder keys need to be programmed to the new SKREEM/WCM. Follow the directions on the diagnostic scan tool. The transponder key for the SKREES/SKIM and the RKE will both be programmed during this operation. There is no need to program the fob of the key for RKE functionality once the transponder key is programmed to the new SKREEM/WCM.

NOTE: When a PCM and the SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:

Program the new PCM.
Program the new SKREEM/WCM.
Program all ignition/transponder keys to the new SKREEM/WCM.

(Refer to ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES - STANDARD PROCEDURE - PCM/SKREEM PROGRAMMING) .

Position the SKREEM on the ignition lock housing and install the retaining screw (1).
