  1. Disconnect all jumper wires and reconnect all previously disconnected components and connectors.
  2. If SKIM or PCM was replaced, go to step  5 . If SKIM or PCM was not replaced, go to next step.
  3. If CTM was replaced, turn ignition on for 15 seconds to learn VIN or engine may not start, if equipped with VTSS. If vehicle is equipped with VTSS, use DRBIII(R) to enable VTSS and the EQ setting.
  4. Program all RKE transmitters and other options as necessary. See PROGRAMMING  . Go to step  7 .
  5. Obtain vehicle's unique PIN assigned to original SKIM from vehicle owner or manufacturer.
    6. CAUTION: If 3 attempts are made to enter secured access mode using an incorrect PIN, secured access mode will be locked out for one hour which causes the DRBIII(R) to display BUS +\- SIGNALS OPEN. To exit this mode, turn ignition switch to the RUN position for one hour.
    NOTE: Once secured access mode is active, the SKIM will remain in that mode for 60 seconds.
  6. Using the DRBIII(R), select THEFT ALARM, SKIM, MISCELLANEOUS, then SKIM REPLACED. Enter secured access mode by entering the vehicle 4-digit PIN. The DRBIII(R) will prompt for the following:

    • Transfer the vehicle's Secret Key data from the PCM.

      See PROGRAMMING  .
