SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PERFORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY
TO DISABLE THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN
ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
1. Position the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) to the right side of the steering column. Lift the multi-function switch upward OFF of the
upper steering column housing far enough to insert the SKIM antenna ring formation between the ignition key release button and the
multi-function switch housing.
2. Slide the SKIM antenna ring around the ignition switch lock cylinder housing, then rotate the SKIM and its mounting bracket upwards and toward
the steering column.
3. Align the SKIM mounting bracket clip formation with the right lower flange of the steering column jacket and, using hand pressure, push upward
firmly and evenly on the connector end of the SKIM mounting bracket to engage this clip with the steering column jacket.
4. Reconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector for the SKIM to the module connector receptacle.
5. Position both the upper and lower shrouds onto the steering column.
6. Align the snap features on the lower shroud with the receptacles on the upper shroud and apply hand pressure to snap them together.
7. From below the steering column, install and tighten the two screws that secure the lower shroud to the upper shroud. Tighten the screws to 2 Nm
(18 in. lbs.).
8. If the vehicle is equipped with the optional tilt steering column, move the tilt steering column to the fully raised position and secure it in place by
moving the tilt release lever back to the locked (up) position.
9. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
NOTE: If the SKIM has been replaced with a new unit, the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) MUST be initialized before the vehicle can
be operated. (Refer to VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY - STANDARD PROCEDURE - SKIS INITIALIZATION).
