new key programming problems
Bill, I'm going to forward the PDF if you want to add it to your
collection... STANDARD PROCEDURE STANDARD PROCEDURE - SKIS INITIALIZATION The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) must be initialized following a Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) replacement. SKIS initialization requires the use of a DRBIIIt scan tool. Initialization will also require that you have access to the unique four-digit PIN code that was assigned to the original SKIM. The PIN code must be used to enter the Secured Access Mode in the SKIM. This PIN number may be obtained from the vehicle owner, from the original vehicle invoice, or from the DaimlerChrysler Customer Center. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES - STANDARD PROCEDURE - PCM/SKIM PROGRAMMING). NOTE: If a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is replaced on a vehicle equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS), the unique Secret Key data must be transferred from the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) to the new PCM using the PCM replacement procedure. This procedure also requires the use of a DRBIIIT scan tool and the unique four-digit PIN code to enter the Secured Access Mode in the SKIM. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information for the proper PCM replacement procedures. STANDARD PROCEDURE - SENTRY KEY TRANSPONDER PROGRAMMING All Sentry Keys included with the vehicle are preprogrammed to work with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) when it is shipped from the factory. The Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) can be programmed to recognize up to a total of eight Sentry Keys. When programming a blank Sentry Key transponder, the key must first be cut to match the ignition switch lock cylinde for which it will be used. Once the additional key has been cut, the SKIM must be programmed to recognize it as a valid key. There are two possible methods to program the SKIM to recognize a new or additional valid key, the Secured Access Method and the Customer Learn Method. Following are the details of these two programming methods. SECURED ACCESS METHOD The Secured Access method applies to all vehicles. This method requires the use of a DRBIIIt scan tool. This method will also require that you have access to the unique four-digit PIN code that was assigned to the original SKIM. The PIN code must be used to enter the Secured Access Mode in the SKIM. This PIN number may be obtained from the vehicle owner, from the original vehicle invoice, or from the DaimlerChrysler Customer Center. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information for the proper Secured Access method programming procedures. CUSTOMER LEARN METHOD The Customer Learn feature is only available on domestic vehicles, or those vehicles which have a U.S. country code designator. This programming method also requires access to at least two valid Sentry Keys. If two valid Sentry Keys are not available, or if the vehicle does not have a U.S. country code designator, the Secured Access Method must be used to program new or additional valid keys to the SKIM. The Customer Learn programming method procedures are as follows: (1) Obtain the blank Sentry Key(s) that are to be programmed as valid keys for the vehicle. Cut the blank key(s) to match the ignition switch lock cylinder mechanical key codes. (2) Insert one of the two valid Sentry Keys into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the On position. (3) After the ignition switch has been in the On position for longer than three seconds, but no more than fifteen seconds, cycle the ignition switch back to the Off position. Replace the first valid Sentry Key in the ignition switch lock cylinder with the second valid Sentry Key and turn the ignition switch back to the On position. The second valid Sentry Key must be inserted in the lock cylinder within fifteen seconds of removing the first valid key. (4) About ten seconds after the completion of Step 3, the SKIS indicator in the instrument cluster will start to flash and a single audible chime tone will sound to indicate that the system has entered the Customer Learn programming mode. (5) Within sixty seconds of entering the Customer Learn programming mode, turn the ignition switch to the Off position, replace the valid Sentry Key with a blank Sentry Key transponder, and turn the ignition switch back to the On position. (6) About ten seconds after the completion of Step 5, a single audible chime tone will sound and the SKIS indicator will stop flashing, stay on solid for three seconds, then turn off to indicate that the blank Sentry Key has been successfully programmed. The SKIS will immediately exit the Customer Learn programming mode and the vehicle may now be started using the newly programmed valid Sentry Key. Each of these steps must be repeated and completed in their entirety for each additional Sentry Key that is to be programmed. If the above steps are not completed in the given sequence, or within the allotted time, the SKIS will exit the Customer Learn programming mode and the programming will be unsuccessful. The SKIS will also automatically exit the Customer Learn programming mode if it sees a non-blank Sentry Key transponder when it should see a blank, if it has already programmed eight (8) valid Sentry Keys, or if the ignition switch is turned to the Off position for more than about fifty seconds. NOTE: If an attempt is made to start the vehicle while in the Customer Learn mode (SKIS indicator flashing), the SKIS will respond as though the vehicle were being started with an invalid key. In other words, the engine will stall after about two seconds of operation. No faults will be set. NOTE: Once a Sentry Key has been programmed as a valid key to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed as a valid key for use on any other vehicle. |

new key programming problems
Hi
Thanks for looking I'm pretty sure that they are both transponder keys, they both start the car, and the newly cut blank doesn't, well it does it just cuts out after a few seconds. Yer I was thinking about the 8 key limit as well, but I wouldn't have thought you would ever need to program 8 keys into the system. I would take it to the dealer, but the whole point in getting the 3rd key was to save my self that hassle if I ever lost a key. I think I'll put the newly cut spare in a draw and take it to the dealer if ever I loose a key. I would imagine that its a computer programming job to remove the 8 keys previously stored, does anybody know what the system actually does if it has already 8 keys programmed, does it just ignore you or does it flash some light to let you know. I have followed the steps several times , with my seat belt on/off, doors open/closed, I've tried using the 2 original keys in different orders. Thanks again your all your help.

A non transponder key will also start your Jeep (but the sentry system that
will cut it after a 3 seconds). Dave Milne, Scotland. "toxicated101" > wrote in message ups.com... > Hi > > Thanks for looking > > I'm pretty sure that they are both transponder keys, they both start > the car, and the newly cut blank doesn't, well it does it just cuts out > after a few seconds. |

In his programming there is no indication of successful programming (lamp
flashing or beeps) and the stalling after a couple seconds might indicate a non-transponder key You can have most any locksmith check to see if it is a transponder key... all they do is stick the key into a 'black box' that checks for the presence of the transponder. This is totally independent on their ability to program the key. This is the guy I got my keys from. His shipping is very slow but he had the best prices and they are Jeep branded keys instead of some generic key company. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3901%26fvi%3D1 "Dave Milne" > wrote in message news >A non transponder key will also start your Jeep (but the sentry system that > will cut it after a 3 seconds). > > Dave Milne, Scotland. > > "toxicated101" > wrote in message > ups.com... >> Hi >> >> Thanks for looking >> >> I'm pretty sure that they are both transponder keys, they both start >> the car, and the newly cut blank doesn't, well it does it just cuts out >> after a few seconds. > > |

new key programming problems
Hi Guys
I'm sure the new key has a transponder, I know the old keys do otherwise the car wouldn't keep running. The new key came sealed in a bag with instructions on how to program. Also If it was the new key that didn't have a transponder then the vehicle should still go into programming mode (flashing light and beep). Like I said the two original keys start and allow you to drive the car (that is they keep the engine running). I guess the unit is up to its eight limit, something is faulty or the two original keys are maybe identical and thus the car doesn't know the difference between the first and second key so doesn't allow programming. It doesn't really matter either way if I ever loose one I will have to go to the dealer. I've never lost a car key before , so hopefully I'm not going to start.
