Using Customer Learn Method

To program ignition keys using customer learn method, 2 programmed valid ignition keys must be available. If 2 programmed valid ignition keys are not available, scan tool method must be used.

  1. Cut the additional Sentry Key Transponder blank(s) to match the ignition switch lock cylinder key code.
  2. Insert first valid ignition key into ignition lock cylinder. Turn ignition on for at least 3 seconds, but no more than 15 seconds. Turn ignition off and remove key.
  3. Within 15 seconds, insert second valid ignition key and turn ignition on. After 10 seconds a chime will sound and SKIS indicator will begin to flash. Turn ignition off and remove key.
  4. Within 60 seconds, insert new ignition key and turn ignition on. After 10 seconds a chime will sound and the SKIS indicator will stop flashing then turn on for 3 seconds and turn off. New key is now programmed to SKIM.
  5. Repeat this procedure for additional new keys. A maximum of 8 keys can be programmed to vehicle. Customer learn method will automatically exit if SKIM senses a non-blank ignition key when a blank ignition key should be sensed, if 8 keys are already programmed or ignition switch is turned off for more than 50 seconds.
