access the SKIS for initialization, or by the dealer
technician to access the system for service. The
SKIM also stores in its memory the Vehicle Identifi-
cation Number (VIN), which it learns through a CCD
data bus message from the PCM during initializa-
tion.
The SKIM and the PCM both use software that
includes a rolling code algorithm strategy, which
helps to reduce the possibility of unauthorized SKIS
disarming. The rolling code algorithm ensures secu-
rity by preventing an override of the SKIS through
the unauthorized substitution of the SKIM or the
PCM. However, the use of this strategy also means
that replacement of either the SKIM or the PCM
units will require a system initialization procedure to
restore system operation.
When the ignition switch is turned to the On or
Start positions, the SKIM transmits an RF signal to
excite the Smart Key transponder. The SKIM then
listens for a return RF signal from the transponder
of the Smart Key that is inserted in the ignition lock
cylinder. If the SKIM receives an RF signal with
valid ªSecret Keyº and transponder identification
codes, the SKIM sends a ªvalid keyº message to the
PCM over the CCD data bus. If the SKIM receives
an invalid RF signal or no response, it sends ªinvalid
keyº messages to the PCM. The PCM will enable or
disable engine operation based upon the status of the
SKIM messages.
The SKIM also sends messages to the instrument
cluster over the CCD data bus network to control the
SKIS indicator lamp. The SKIM sends messages to
the instrument cluster to turn the lamp on for about
three seconds when the ignition switch is turned to
the On position as a bulb test. After completion of
the bulb test, the SKIM sends bus messages to keep
the lamp off for a duration of about one second. Then
the SKIM sends messages to turn the lamp on or off
based upon the results of the SKIS self-tests. If the
SKIS indicator lamp comes on and stays on after the
bulb test, it indicates that the SKIM has detected a
system malfunction and/or that the SKIS has become
inoperative.
If the SKIM detects an invalid key when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the On position, it sends
messages to the instrument cluster to flash the SKIS
indicator lamp. The SKIM can also send messages to
the instrument cluster to flash the lamp and to gen-
erate a single audible chime tone.
For diagnosis or initialization of the SKIM and the
PCM, a DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic
Procedures manual are required. The SKIM cannot
be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must
be replaced.SMART KEY IMMOBILIZER TRANSPONDER
The Smart Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) uses a
transponder that is integral to each of the two igni-
tion keys that are supplied with the vehicle when it
is shipped from the factory. The transponder chip is
insulated within a nylon mount inserted in the head
of the key, and invisible beneath a molded rubber cap
(Fig. 1).
Each Smart Key transponder has a unique tran-
sponder identification code programmed into it by the
manufacturer. The Smart Key Immobilizer Module
(SKIM) has a unique ªSecret Keyº code programmed
into it by the manufacturer. When a Smart Key tran-
sponder is programmed into the memory of the
SKIM, the SKIM learns the transponder identifica-
tion code from the transponder, and the transponder
learns the ªSecret Keyº code from the SKIM. Each of
these codes is stored within the transponder and in
the nonvolatile memory of the SKIM. Therefore,
blank keys for the SKIS must be programmed by and
into the SKIM, in addition to being cut to match the
mechanical coding of the ignition lock cylinder. See
Smart Key Immobilizer System Transponder Pro-
gramming in this group for more information.
The Smart Key transponder is within the range of
the SKIM transceiver antenna ring when it is
inserted in the ignition lock cylinder. When the igni-
tion switch is turned to the Start or On positions, the
SKIM transceiver issues a Radio Frequency (RF) sig-
nal that excites the transponder chip. The transpon-
der chip responds by issuing an RF signal containing
its transponder identification code and the ªSecret
Keyº code. The SKIM transceiver compares the tran-
sponder codes with the codes stored in its memory to

determine whether a valid key is in the ignition lock
cylinder.
The Smart Key transponder cannot be repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
SMART KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM INDICATOR
LAMP
The Smart Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) indica-
tor lamp gives an indication when the SKIS is faulty
or when the vehicle has been immobilized due to the
use of an invalid ignition key. The lamp is controlled
by the instrument cluster circuitry based upon mes-
sages received from the Smart Key Immobilizer Mod-
ule (SKIM) on the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD)
data bus.
The SKIM sends messages to the instrument clus-
ter to turn the lamp on for about three seconds when
the ignition switch is turned to the On position as a
bulb test. After completion of the bulb test, the SKIM
sends bus messages to keep the lamp off for a dura-
tion of about one second. Then the SKIM sends mes-
sages to the instrument cluster circuitry to turn the
lamp on or off based upon the results of the SKIS
self-tests. If the SKIS indicator lamp comes on and
stays on after the bulb test, it indicates that the
SKIM has detected a system malfunction and/or that
the SKIS has become inoperative. If the SKIM
detects an invalid key when the ignition switch is
turned to the On position, it sends messages to the
instrument cluster to flash the SKIS indicator lamp.
The SKIM can also send messages to the instru-
ment cluster to flash the lamp and to generate a sin-
gle audible chime tone. These functions serve as an
indication to the customer that the SKIS has been
placed in its ªCustomer Learnº programming mode.
See Smart Key Immobilizer System Transponder Pro-
gramming in this group for more information on the
ªCustomer Learnº programming mode.
The SKIS indicator lamp uses a replaceable incan-
descent bulb and bulb holder on the instrument clus-
ter electronic circuit board. Refer to Group 8E -
Instrument Panel Systems for diagnosis and service
of a faulty SKIS indicator lamp. If the SKIS indicator
lamp comes on and stays on after the bulb test func-
tion, diagnosis of the SKIS should be performed with
a DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
SMART KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, REFER TO GROUP 8M - PASSIVE
RESTRAINT SYSTEMS BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY
STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, OR
INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR
SERVICE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIR-
BAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
NOTE: The following tests may not prove conclu-
sive in the diagnosis of this system. The most reli-
able, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the
Smart Key Immobilizer System involves the use of a
DRB scan tool. Refer to the proper Diagnostic Pro-
cedures manual for the procedures.
The Smart Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) and the
Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network
should be diagnosed using a DRB scan tool. The DRB
will allow confirmation that the CCD data bus is
functional, that the Smart Key Immobilizer Module
(SKIM) is placing the proper messages on the CCD
data bus, and that the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) and the instrument cluster are receiving the
CCD data bus messages. Refer to the proper Diag-
nostic Procedures manual for the procedures. Refer
to 8W-30 - Fuel/Ignition System in Group 8W - Wir-
ing Diagrams for complete circuit descriptions and
diagrams.
(1) Check the fuses in the fuseblock module. If OK,
go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or
component as required and replace the faulty fuse.
(2) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Unplug the wire harness connector at the
SKIM. Check for continuity between the ground cir-
cuit cavity of the SKIM wire harness connector and a
good ground. There should be continuity. If OK, go to
Step 3. If not OK, repair the open circuit to ground
as required.
(3) Connect the battery negative cable. Check for
battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of the
SKIM wire harness connector. If OK, go to Step 4. If
not OK, repair the open circuit to the fuse in the
fuseblock module as required.
