Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKREEM) - Installation

INSTALLATION

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.





1. Position the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (3) onto the steering column ignition lock housing with the antenna ring oriented around the lock cylinder (5).
2. Install and tighten the screw (2) that secures the SKREEM mounting bracket to the boss on the top of the ignition lock housing. Tighten the screw to 2 Nm (20 in. lbs.).
3. Reconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector (4) to the SKREEM connector receptacle.
4. Reinstall the right multi-function switch onto the integral mounting bracket (1) on the right side of the clockspring. Right Multifunction Switch - Installation.
5. Reconnect the battery negative cable.

NOTE: On vehicles equipped with the optional Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS), when the SKREEM is replaced with a new unit, a diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to initialize the new SKREEM and to program at least two Sentry Key transponders before the vehicle can be operated.
