DESCRIPTION





The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (1) is sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control Module (WCM). The SKREEM is the primary component of the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS). It is also the receiver for the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system and the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system. The SKREEM is located on the right side of the steering column, near the ignition lock cylinder housing and is concealed beneath the steering column shrouds. The molded black plastic housing for the SKREEM has an integral molded plastic halo-like antenna ring (4) that extends from one end. When the SKREEM is properly installed, the antenna ring is oriented around the circumference of the ignition lock cylinder housing.

A single integral connector receptacle (3) is located on the opposite end of the SKREEM housing from the antenna ring. A stamped metal mounting bracket (2) secured to the SKREEM housing is used to secure the component to the right lower flange of the steering column jacket. The SKREEM is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a single take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.

Several SKREEM modules are used, specific to optional vehicle equipment and the market in which the vehicle is sold. The SKREEM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire SKREEM unit must be replaced.
