General Information

SECURED ACCESS mode is not required to check programmed status of key.

If Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is replaced, unique secret key data must be transferred from Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) to PCM. This procedure requires SKIM to be placed in SECURED ACCESS mode using 4-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN). This number can be obtained from vehicle invoice or calling Chrysler customer center.

If 3 attempts are made to enter secured access mode using an incorrect PIN, SECURED ACCESS mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit lock out mode, turn ignition to ON position for one hour, then enter correct PIN. Ensure all accessories are turned off. Monitor battery state and connect battery charger is necessary.

To program sentry keys using customer programming method, 2 valid sentry keys are required. See PROGRAMMING BLACK SENTRY KEYS USING CUSTOMER LEARN METHOD  under SENTRY KEYS.
