Programming SKIM

CAUTION: Enter correct country code in SKIM. If incorrect country code is entered, SKIM must be replaced.
NOTE: If replacing both PCM and SKIM at the same time, first program PCM, then program SKIM. Replace all ignition keys and program them to new SKIM.
NOTE: If 3 attempts are made incorrectly to enter PIN, secured access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit lock out mode, leave ignition switch in ON position for one hour. Ensure battery voltage is maintained with battery charger, if necessary.
  1. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC), located under left side of instrument panel. See Figure. Using scan tool, select THEFT ALARM, SKIM then MISC. Select SKIM MODULE REPLACEMENT. Obtain 4-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) from vehicle owner or manufacturer.
    CAUTION: Enter correct country code in SKIM. If incorrect country code is entered, SKIM must be replaced.
  2. Enter secured access mode by entering PIN code for vehicle. Select COUNTRY CODE. Enter correct country. Select YES to update VIN. SKIM will learn VIN from Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Press ENTER to transfer secret key data from PCM to SKIM. The DRBIII® scan tool will ask if you want to transfer 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.
