Initialization Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2002 Dodge Caravan, 2002 Chrysler Voyager, and 2002 Chrysler Town & Country. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Obtain vehicle's unique PIN code assigned to original SKIM from vehicle owner, vehicle invoice or DaimlerChrysler's customer center before performing the following procedure:
  1. Turn ignition on and ensure vehicle transmission is in Park. Using scan tool, select THEFT ALARM, SKIM, then MISCELLANEOUS. Select SKIM MODULE REPLACED, then follow scan tool prompts.
  2. Enter SECURED ACCESS mode using unique 4-digit PIN. Program vehicle's VIN into SKIM memory.
    CAUTION: If wrong country code is programmed into SKIM when requested, SKIM must be replaced.
  3. Select COUNTRY CODE and program correct country code (U.S.) into SKIM's memory. Select UPDATE VIN and press ENTER. PCM will transfer vehicle's VIN to SKIM automatically.
  4. Scan tool will ask if "Secret Key" data is to be transferred. Press ENTER to transfer vehicle's unique "Secret Key" data from PCM. This process will ensure all current vehicle keys will still operate the SKIS system.
