1998 DODGE RAM 1500 Key cylinder

SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
TRANSPONDER PROGRAMMING
Two programmed Sentry Key transponders are
included with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) when it is shipped from the factory. The Sen-
try Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) can be pro-
grammed to recognize up to six additional
transponders, for a total of eight Sentry Keys. The
following ªCustomer Learnº programming procedure
for the programming of additional transponders
requires access to at least two of the valid Sentry
Keys. If two valid Sentry Keys are not available, Sen-
try Key programming will require the use of a
DRBIIItscan tool.
CUSTOMER LEARN PROGRAMMING
(1) Obtain the additional Sentry Key transponder
blank(s) that are to be programmed for the vehicle.
Cut the additional Sentry Key transponder blanks to
match the ignition lock cylinder mechanical key
codes.
(2) Insert one of the two valid Sentry Key tran-
sponders into the ignition switch and turn the igni-
tion switch to the ON position.
(3) After the ignition switch has been in the ON
position for about three seconds, but no more than
fifteen seconds, cycle the ignition switch back to the
OFF position. Replace the first valid Sentry Key in
the ignition lock cylinder with the second valid Sen-
try Key and turn the ignition switch back to the ON
position. Both operations must be performed within
15 seconds.
(4) In approximately ten seconds the VTSS indica-
tor LED will start to flash to indicate that the sys-
tem has entered the ªCustomer Learnº programming
mode.
(5) Within approximately sixty seconds of entering
the ªCustomer Learnº programming mode, turn the
ignition switch to the OFF position, replace the valid
Sentry Key with a blank Sentry Key transponder,
and turn the ignition switch back to the ON position.
(6) In approximately ten seconds, the VTSS indica-
tor LED will stop flashing and stay on solid for
approximately three seconds and then turn OFF to
indicate that the blank Sentry Key transponder has
been successfully programmed. The SKIS will imme-
diately return to normal system operation following
exit from the ªCustomer Learnº programming mode.
(7) Repeat this process for each additional Sentry
Key transponder blank to be programmed.
If any of the above steps is not completed in the
proper sequence, or within the allotted time, the
SKIS will automatically exit the ªCustomer Learnº
programming mode. The SKIS will also automatically
exit the ªCustomer Learnº programming mode if it
sees a non-blank Sentry Key transponder when itshould see a blank, if it has already programmed
eight valid Sentry Keys, or if the ignition switch is
turned to the OFF position for more than about fifty
seconds.
NOTE: While in Customer Learn mode (LED flash-
ing), the engine will not START and RUN.
PROGRAMMING BLANK SENTRY KEY
TRANSPONDERS WITH A DRBIIITSCAN TOOL
When programming a blank Sentry Key transpon-
der, the key blank must first be cut to match the
ignition lock cylinder. It will also be necessary to
enter the vehicle's four digit PIN code into the
DRBIIItscan tool to enter the Sentry Key Immobi-
lizer Module's (SKIM's) secured access mode.
NOTE: Once a Sentry Key is programmed to a par-
ticular vehicle, it cannot be transferred to another
vehicle.
Insert the blank key into the ignition and turn it to
the RUN position. Using the DRBIIItscan tool,
select ªTheft Alarm,º then ªSKIM,º then ªMiscella-
neous.º Select ªProgram New Key.º Enter the four
digit PIN code using the DRBIIIt. When program-
ming is completed, the SKIM will exit secured access
mode and the DRBIIItwill display the status of the
key. One of five different status messages may be dis-
played as follows:
²ªProgramming Successfulº is displayed if SKIM
Sentry Key programming succeeds.
²ªLearned Key in Ignitionº is displayed if the key
in the ignition has already been programmed into
that vehicle's SKIM.
²ª8 Keys Already Learned (At The Maximum)
Programming Not Doneº is displayed if eight keys
have already been programmed into the SKIM. In
this case, if a new key needs to be added due to a
lost or defective key, the ªErase All Keysº function
(requires entering secured access mode) has to be
performed. Then the customer's seven keys plus the
new key MUST be reprogrammed into the SKIM.
²ªProgramming Not Attemptedº is displayed after
an ªErase All Keysº function is executed.
²ªProgramming Key Failedº is displayed if fur-
ther diagnosis is required.
²To learn additional keys, turn the ignition OFF,
remove the learned key, and insert the next new
blank key. Turn ignition to the RUN position and re-
enter the secured access mode function and repeat
the ªProgram New Keyº procedure outlined above.

PISTON & CONNECTING ROD
DESCRIPTION
PISTONS
The piston (Fig. 85) is constructed of aluminum
and is gravity cast, free floating design. The piston
incorporates a centrally located high swirl combus-
tion bowl, and utilizes a ªkeystoneº style top com-
pression ring (Fig. 86), and a ªTapered Faceº
intermediate ring (Fig. 86), for superior cylinder wall
scraping. Piston cooling nozzles cool the piston and
pin with engine oil supplied by the crankshaft main
journals. High horsepower pistons are gallery cooled
and utilize J-jet piston cooling nozzles. Pistons are
directional in order to provide clearance to piston
cooling nozzles.
CONNECTING RODS
The connecting rods are a split angle design. They
have a pressed-in-place wrist pin bushing that is
lubricated by piston cooling nozzle oil spray.
Machined connecting rods are no longer used
in the diesel engine. Do not install machined
connecting rods into an engine that has frac-
tured split connecting rods.
Fractured split connecting rods are first manufac-
tured as a single piece and then fractured into two
pieces. Fractured split connecting rods can be identi-
fied by a rough and irregular surface at the connect-
ing rod split face. To properly assemble the rod cap to
the connecting rod, the bearing tangs on the connect-
ing rod and cap must be located on the same side of
the rod. The long end of the connecting rod must be
assembled on the intake or camshaft side of the
engine.
Each matched fractured split connecting rod and
cap is an assembly and are not interchangeable. If a
connecting rod or cap is damaged, the entire assem-
bly must be replaced.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - HEAD GASKET
SELECTION
(1) Measure piston protrusion for all six pistons.
(2) Calculate the average piston protrusion. Maxi-
mum allowable protrusion is 0.516 mm (0.020 inch).
NOTE: There are two different head gaskets avail-
able. One gasket is for Average piston protrusion
less than 0.30 mm (0.011 inch). The other gasket is
for Average piston protrusion greater than 0.30 mm
(0.011 inch)

(6) Before removing the piston(s) from the bore(s):
(a) Remove any carbon ridge formations or
deposits at the top of the bore with a dull scraper
or soft wire brush.
(b) If cylinder bore wear ridges are found, use a
ridge reamer to cut the ridge from the bore. DO
NOT remove more metal than necessary to remove
the ridge.
(7) Remove the J-jet cooling nozzles, if equipped.

stream. The spraying action atomizes the fuel, add-
ing it to the air entering the combustion chamber.
The nozzle (outlet) ends of the injectors are posi-
tioned into openings in the intake manifold just
above the intake valve ports of the cylinder head.
The engine wiring harness connector for each fuel
injector is equipped with an attached numerical tag
(INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.). This is used to identify each fuel
injector.
The injectors are energized individually in a
sequential order by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM will adjust injector pulse width by
switching the ground path to each individual injector
on and off. Injector pulse width is the period of time
that the injector is energized. The PCM will adjust
injector pulse width based on various inputs it
receives.
Battery voltage is supplied to the injectors through
the ASD relay.
The PCM determines injector pulse width based on
various inputs.
OPERATION - PCM OUTPUT
The nozzle ends of the injectors are positioned into
openings in the intake manifold just above the intake
valve ports of the cylinder head. The engine wiring
harness connector for each fuel injector is equipped
with an attached numerical tag (INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.).
This is used to identify each fuel injector with its
respective cylinder number.
The injectors are energized individually in a
sequential order by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM will adjust injector pulse width by
switching the ground path to each individual injector
on and off. Injector pulse width is the period of time
that the injector is energized. The PCM will adjust
injector pulse width based on various inputs it
receives.
Battery voltage (12 volts +) is supplied to the injec-
tors through the ASD relay. The ASD relay will shut-
down the 12 volt power source to the fuel injectors if
the PCM senses the ignition is on, but the engine is
not running. This occurs after the engine has not
been running for approximately 1.8 seconds.
The PCM determines injector on-time (pulse width)
based on various inputs.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove fuel rail. Refer to Fuel Injector Rail
Removal.
(2) Disconnect clip(s) that retain fuel injector(s) to
fuel rail (Fig. 12).
INSTALLATION
(1) Install fuel injector(s) into fuel rail assembly
and install retaining clip(s).(2) If same injector(s) is being reinstalled, install
new o-ring(s).
(3) Apply a small amount of clean engine oil to
each injector o-ring. This will aid in installation.
(4) Install fuel rail. Refer to Fuel Rail Installation.
(5) Start engine and check for fuel leaks.
FUEL PUMP RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The 5±pin, 12±volt, fuel pump relay is located in
the Power Distribution Center (PDC). Refer to the
label on the PDC cover for relay location.
OPERATION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) energizes
the electric fuel pump through the fuel pump relay.
The fuel pump relay is energized by first applying
battery voltage to it when the ignition key is turned
ON, and then applying a ground signal to the relay
from the PCM.
Whenever the ignition key is turned ON, the elec-
tric fuel pump will operate. But, the PCM will shut-
down the ground circuit to the fuel pump relay in
approximately 1±3 seconds unless the engine is oper-
ating or the starter motor is engaged.
