GENERAL INFORMATION

3. Select PCM REPLACED.
4. Enter secured access mode by entering the vehi-
cle four-digit PIN.
NOTE: IF THREE ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO
ENTER THE SECURE ACCESS MODE USING
AN INCORRECT PIN, SECURED ACCESS
MODE WILL BE LOCKED OUT FOR ONE
HOUR. TO EXIT THIS LOCKOUT MODE,
TURN THE IGNITION TO THE RUN POSITION
FOR ONE HOUR THEN ENTER THE
CORRECT PIN. (ENSURE ALL ACCESSORIES
ARE TURNED OFF. ALSO MONITOR THE
BATTERY STATE AND CONNECT A BATTERY
CHARGER IF NECESSARY).
5. Press ENTER to transfer the secret key (the
SKIM will send the secret key to the PCM).
3.2.10 PROGRAMMING THE SENTRY KEY
IMMOBILIZER MODULE
NOTE: IF THE PCM AND THE SKIM ARE
REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME, PROGRAM
THE VIN INTO THE 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 DRB and select THEFT ALARM, SKIM
then MISCELLANEOUS.
3. Select SKIM MODULE REPLACEMENT (GAS-
OLINE).
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).
8. The DRB will ask if you want to transfer the
secret key. Select ENTER to transfer secret key
from the PCM. This will ensure the current
vehicle ignition keys will still operate the SKIS
system.
3.2.11 PROGRAMMING THE IGNITION
KEYS TO THE SENTRY KEY
IMMOBILIZER MODULE
1. Turn the ignition on (transmission in park/
neutral).
2. Use the DRB and select THEFT ALARM, SKIM,
then MISCELLANEOUS.
3. Select PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS.
4. Enter secured access mode by entering the vehi-
cle four-digit PIN.
NOTE: A MAXIMUM OF EIGHT KEYS CAN BE
LEARNED TO EACH SKIM AT ONE TIME.
ONCE A KEY IS LEARNED TO A SKIM IT (THE
KEY) CANNOT BE TRANSFERRED TO
ANOTHER VEHICLE.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the
DRB will display one of the following messages:
Programming Not Attempted- The DRB at-
tempts to read the programmed key status and
there are no keys programmed in the SKIM mem-
ory.
Programming Key Failed -(Possible Used Key
From Wrong Vehicle) - SKIM is unable to program
key due to one of the following:
± faulty ignition key transponder
± ignition key is programmed to another vehicle.
8 Keys Already Learned, Programming Not
Done- SKIM transponder ID memory is full.
1. Obtain ignition keys to be programmed from
customer (8 keys maximum)
2. Using the DRB, erase all ignition keys by select-
ing MISCELLANEOUS and ERASE ALL CUR-
RENT IGN. KEYS
3. Program all ignition keys.
Learned Key In Ignition- Ignition key transpon-
der ID is currently programmed in SKIM memory.
3.3 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Each diagnostic trouble code is diagnosed by
following a specific testing procedure. The diagnos-
tic test procedures contain step-by-step instructions
for determining the cause of trouble codes as well as
no trouble code problems. It is not necessary to
perform all of the tests in this book to diagnose an
individual code.
Always begin by reading the diagnostic trouble
codes using the DRBIIIt.
3.3.1 HARD CODE
A diagnostic trouble code that comes back within
one cycle of the ignition key is a hard code. This
means that the defect is there every time the

TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1Note: The following list of items must be checked before continuing with
any no start tests.
The battery must be fully charged and in good condition. A low charged battery may
produce invalid test results. If the battery is low, charge the battery and then attempt
to start the vehicle by cranking the engine for 15 seconds, 3 consecutive times.
This will allow any DTC's to set that may have been erased due to a dead battery.
Ensure the Powers and Ground to the PCM are ok.
Make sure the PCM communicates with the DRB and that there are no DTC's stored
in the PCM memory. If the PCM reports a No Response condition, refer to the
Communication category for the proper tests.
Read the PCM DTC's with the DRB. If any DTC's are present, they must be repaired
before continuing with any other No Start diagnostic tests. Refer to the Symptom list
for the related P-code that is reported by the PCM.
Ensure that the PCI bus is functional. Attempt to communicate with the Instrument
Cluster and SKIM, If you are unable to establish communicate refer to the
Communication category for the proper symptoms.
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System must be operating properly. Check for proper
communication with the DRB and check for DTC's that may be stored in the Sentry
Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM). repair the DTC(s) before continuing.
If no DTC's are found, using the DRB select Clear PCM (Batt Disconnect).
Crank the engine several times. Using the DRB, read DTC's. If a DTC is present
perform the DTC diagnostics before continuing.
Were any problems found?All
Ye s®Repair as necessary.
