SKIS Initialization






SKIS INITIALIZATION

The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) must be initialized following a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) replacement. SKIS initialization requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Initialization will also require that you have access to the unique four-digit PIN code that was assigned to the original WIN. The PIN code must be used to enter the Secured Access Mode in the WIN. This PIN number may be obtained from the vehicle owner, from the original vehicle invoice, or from the Chrysler Customer Center.

NOTE: If a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or a shaft lock module is replaced on a vehicle equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS), the unique Secret Key data must be transferred from the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) to the new PCM or shaft lock module using the appropriate programming procedure. This procedure also requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool and the unique four-digit PIN code to enter the Secured Access Mode in the WIN. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information for the proper PCM or shaft lock module replacement procedures.
