Programming Pcm (JTEC)

NOTE: When a PCM (JTEC) and the SKIM are replaced at the same time, program the new PCM (JTEC), then program the new SKIM. Replace all ignition keys and program them to the mew SKIM.

The SKIS Secret Key data is an ID code that is unique to each SKIM. This code is programmed and stored in the SKIM, the PCM, and the ignition key transponder chip(s). When replacing the PCM, it is necessary to program the secret key data into the new PCM using the DRBIII(R) scan tool. Perform the following steps to program the secret key into the PCM.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (transmission in Park/Neutral).
  2. Use the DRBIII(R) and select THEFT ALARM, SKIM, the MISCELLANEOUS.
  3. Select PCM REPLACED (GAS ENGINE).
  4. Enter secured access mode by entering the vehicle 4-digit PIN.
  5. Select ENTER to update PCM VIN.
  6. NOTE: If 3 attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an incorrect PIN, secured access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn the ignition switch to the ON position for one hour, then enter the correct PIN. (Ensure all accessories are turned off. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery charger if necessary).
  7. Press ENTER to transfer the secret key data (the SKIM will send the secret key data to the PCM).
  8. Press PAGE BACK to get to the select system menu and select ENGINE, MISCELLANEOUS and SRI MEMORY CHECK.
  9. The DRBIII(R) will ask, "Is odometer reading between XX and XX?" Select the YES or NO button on the DRBIII(R). If NO is selected, the DRBIII(R) will read, "Enter Odometer Reading (From I.P. odometer)". Enter the odometer reading from the instrument cluster and press ENTER.
