Removal And Installation; Body Control Module (Bcm) - Chrysler Stratus RHD 1999 Electronic Service Manual

8Q - 6 VEHICLE THEFT / SECURITY SYSTEM
SERVICE PROCEDURES (Continued)
requires access to at least two of the valid Sentry
Keys. If two valid Sentry Keys are not available, Sen-
try Key programming will require the use of a DRB
lll scan tool.
CUSTOMER LEARN PROGRAMMING
(1) Obtain the additional Sentry Key transponder
blank(s) that are to be programmed for the vehicle.
Cut the additional Sentry Key transponder blanks to
match the ignition lock cylinder mechanical key
codes.
(2) Insert one of the two valid Sentry Key tran-
sponders into the ignition switch and turn the igni-
tion switch to the ON position.
(3) After the ignition switch has been in the ON
position for about 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 lock cylinder with the second valid Sen-
try Key and turn the ignition switch back to the ON
position. Both operations must be performed within
15 seconds.
(4) About ten seconds after the completion of Step
3, the VTSS indicator LED will start to flash and a
single audible chime tone will sound to indicate that
the system has entered the "Customer Learn" pro-
gramming mode.
(5) Within about fifty seconds of entering the "Cus-
tomer 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
VTSS indicator LED will stop flashing and stay on
solid for about three seconds to indicate that the
blank Sentry Key transponder has been successfully
programmed. The SKIS will immediately return to
normal system operation following exit from the
"Customer Learn" programming mode.
(7) Go back to Step 2 and repeat this process for
each additional Sentry Key transponder blank to be
programmed.
If any of the above steps is not completed in the
proper sequence, or within the allotted time, the
SKIS will automatically exit the "Customer Learn"
programming mode. 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 valid Sentry Keys, or if the ignition switch is
turned to the OFF position for more than about fifty
seconds.
PROGRAMMING BLANK SENTRY KEY
TRANSPONDERS WITH A DRB lll SCAN TOOL
When programming a blank Sentry Key transpon-
der, the key blank must first be cut to match the
ignition lock cylinder. It will also be necessary to
enter the vehicle's four digit PIN code into the DRB
lll scan tool to enter the Sentry Key Immobilizer
Module's (SKIM's) secured access mode.
NOTE: Once a Sentry Key is programmed to a par-
ticular vehicle, it cannot be transferred to another
vehicle.
Insert the blank key into the ignition and turn it to
the RUN position. Using the DRB lll
select "Theft Alarm," then "SKIM," then "Miscella-
neous." Select "Program New Key." Enter the four
digit PIN code using the DRB lll . When program-
ming is completed, the SKIM will exit secured access
mode and display the status of the key. One of five
different status messages may be displayed as fol-
lows:
• "Programming Successful" is displayed if SKIM
Sentry Key programming succeeds.
• "Learned Key in Ignition" is displayed if the key
in the ignition has already been programmed into
that vehicle's SKIM.
• "8 Keys Already Learned (At The Maximum)
Programming Not Done" is displayed if eight keys
have already been programmed into the SKIM. In
this case, if a new key needs to be added due to a
lost or defective key, the "Erase All Keys" function
(requires entering secured access mode) has to be
performed. Then the customer is seven keys plus the
new key MUST be reprogrammed into the SKIM.
• "Programming Not Attempted" is displayed after
an "Erase All Keys" function is executed.
• "Programming Key Failed" is displayed if fur-
ther diagnosis is required.
• To learn additional keys, turn the ignition OFF,
remove the learned key, and insert the next new
blank key. Turn ignition to the RUN position and re-
enter the secured access mode function and repeat
the "Program New Key" procedure outlined above.
