Programming The Skim

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Dakota and 2003 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Turn the ignition switch to the On position (transmission in Park/Neutral).
  2. Use the DRBIII(R) and select THEFT ALARM, SKIM, then MISCELLANEOUS.
  3. Select PCM REPLACED (GAS ENGINE).
  4. Program the vehicle four-digit PIN into 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, it cannot be changed and the SKIM must be replaced.

  7. Press ENTER to transfer the secret key (the PCM will send the secret key to the SKIM).
