SKIM Theft Alarm System

Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Go to ENGINE, MISC. Using appropriate PIN code for this vehicle, place SKIM in Secured Access mode. Select UPDATE SECRET KEY DATA. Data will be transferred from SKIM to PCM.

Inspect vehicle to ensure all engine components are connected. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary. Using scan tool, erase any DTCs. To ensure no other charging system problems are present, perform the following procedure:

  1. Start engine. Perform generator output test. See appropriate GENERATORS & REGULATORS article in STARTING & CHARGING SYSTEMS.
  2. Raise engine speed to 2000 RPM for at least 30 seconds. Allow engine to idle. Turn engine off. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, read Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
  3. If repaired DTC has reset, go to next step. If repaired DTC is not reset, repair is complete.
  4. Repair is not complete. Check for related Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) that pertain to a charging system problem. Return to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) test, if necessary.
