Body Verification Test

CAUTION: If 3 attempts are made to place Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) in secured access mode using incorrect Personal Identification Number (PIN), secured access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit lockout mode, turn ignition switch to on position for one hour. Connect battery charger if necessary.
NOTE: Secured access mode is not required to check status of programmed sentry key. If Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is replaced, secret key data must be transferred from SKIM to PCM. Skim will have to be placed in secured access mode.
  1. Reconnect all previously disconnected components and connectors. Turn ignition on.
  2. Operate system that was malfunctioning. If system operates as designed, repair is complete. If system does not operate as designed, go to SYMPTOM IDENTIFICATION  table under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM and locate symptom test that matches problem for appropriate system.
  3. If SKIM was replaced, obtain vehicle's unique PIN number assigned to it's original SKIM module from vehicle owner or Chrysler's customer center. If SKIM was not replaced, go to next step.
  4. Using scan tool, select THEFT ALARM, SKIM, then MISCELLANEOUS. Select SKIM MODULE REPLACED function.
  5. Enter SECURED ACCESS mode using unique 4 digit PIN number.
  6. Program Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into SKIM's memory.
  7. Program country code into SKIM's memory (U.S.).
  8. Transfer vehicle's unique secret key data from PCM. This process will require SKIM to be in SECURED ACCESS mode. The PIN number must be entered into scan tool before SKIM will enter SECURED ACCESS mode. Once SECURED ACCESS mode is active, SKIM will remain in that mode for 60 seconds.
  9. Program all customer keys into SKIM's memory. This requires that SKIM be in SECURED ACCESS mode. The SKIM will immediately exit SECURED ACCESS mode after each key is programmed.
  10. Turn ignition on and wait 3 minutes. Check for DTCs. If any SKIM DTCs exist, go to appropriate diagnostic procedure under SYSTEM TESTS  . If SKIM DTCs do not exist, repair is complete.
