Wireless Ignition Node

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Jeep Commander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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 Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) (2) to the instrument panel.
  2. Reconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector to the WIN connector receptacle.
  3. If equipped, reconnect the remote start system antenna module coaxial cable connector to the WIN connector receptacle.
  4. Position the WIN into the instrument panel.
  5. Install and tighten the four screws (3) that secure the WIN to the instrument panel support structure (1). Tighten the screws securely
  6. Position the bezel around the ignition switch on the instrument panel, then press firmly and evenly on the bezel until it snaps into place.
  7. Reinstall the steering column opening cover onto the instrument panel. Refer to INSTALLATION .
  8. Reinstall the bezel onto the instrument panel. Refer to INSTALLATION .

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

Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS.

Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - SERVICE INFORMATION.

NOTE: On vehicles equipped with a premium Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system, when the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) or the spare tire pressure sensor is replaced with a new unit, a diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to run a routine that allows the WIN to be programmed with the ID number and location of the spare tire pressure sensor mounted in the wheel of the spare tire. This may be done using a TPM-RKE Analyzer special tool by following the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for Program Tire Sensor ID w/TPM Tool under Miscellaneous Functions for the WIN (also known as WCM/Wireless Control Module) menu item. If a TPM-RKE Analyzer special tool is not available, the spare tire must be dismounted from its wheel to access and note the ID number on the spare tire pressure sensor so that the ID code for that sensor can be programmed into the new WIN. Follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID under Miscellaneous Functions for the WIN menu item as appropriate. Refer to INSTALLATION .
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with the optional export premium Vehicle Theft System, when the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) is replaced with a new unit, the shaft lock module MUST also be replaced. Refer to REMOVAL .
