Programming The Sentry Key Immobilizer Module

NOTE: f the PCM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time program the VIN intothe PCM first. All vehicle keys will then need to be replaced and programmed to the new SKIM.
  1. Turn the ignition on (transmission in park/neutral).
  2. Use the DRBIII® and select "THEFT ALARM", "SKIM", then "MISCELLANEOUS".
  3. Select "SKIM MODULE REPLACEMENT (GASOLINE)".
  4. Program the vehicle four-digit PIN into the SKIM.
  5. Select "COUNTRY CODE" and enter the correct country.
    NOTE: Be sure to enter the correct country code. If the incorrect country code is programmed into SKIM, the SKIM must be replaced.
  6. Select "UPDATE VIN" (the SKIM will learn the VIN from the PCM).
  7. Press "ENTER" to transfer the VIN (the PCM will send the VIN to the SKIM).
