Keyless Entry Module: Description and Operation
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (4) is sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control Module (WCM). The SKREEM is the primary
component of the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS). It is also the receiver for the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system and the Tire Pressure
Monitor (TPM) system. The SKREEM is located in the instrument panel, just to the right of the steering column near the ignition lock cylinder housing
and is concealed beneath the instrument panel trim. The molded black plastic housing for the SKREEM has an integral molded plastic halo-like antenna
ring (3) that extends from one side. When the SKREEM is properly installed, the antenna ring is oriented around the circumference of the ignition lock
cylinder housing.
A single integral connector receptacle (1) is located next to the antenna ring on the SKREEM housing. An integral molded plastic mounting tab (2) on
the SKREEM housing has a hole in the center through which a screw passes to secure the unit to the instrument panel. The SKREEM is connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a single take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The SKREEM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire SKREEM unit must be replaced.
