Programming The Secret Key To The Kin

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Dodge Durango. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The secret key is an ID code that is unique to each KIN. This code is programmed and stored in the KIN, the PCM, and each ignition key transponder chip. When the PCM or KIN is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret Key Code into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED , KIN REPLACED , or BCM REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the KEYLESS CONTROL MODULE menu item as appropriate.

NOTE:

Programming the PCM or KIN is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to enter secure access mode. If three attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an incorrect PIN, secure access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn the ignition to the RUN position for one hour and then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all accessories are turned OFF. Also, monitor the battery state and connect a battery charger if necessary.
