Sentry Key Transponder Programming: Notes

All Sentry Key FOB with Integrated Keys (FOBIKs) included with the vehicle are pre-programmed to work with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) when it is shipped from the factory. The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) (also known as the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module/SKIM, Sentry Key REmote Entry Module/SKREEM or the Wireless Control Module/WCM) may be programmed to recognize up to a total of eight Sentry Keys. When programming a blank Sentry Key FOBIK, the integrated valet key must be cut to match the door lock cylinder in the vehicle for which it will be used. Once the additional or new key has been cut, the WIN must be programmed to recognize it as a valid FOBIK. There are two possible methods to program the WIN to recognize a new or additional valid FOBIK, the Secured Access Method and the Customer Learn Method. Following are the details of these two programming methods.
