I believe that some Key Cutters are able to read the code off a chipped key in order to make duplicates.Dealers normally require proof of ownership to be able to program new spare keys. If the SKIM module is faulty a new Virgen SKIM module needs to be programmed with the correct code.an already programmed SKIM module cannot be re-programmed! Is the Red Led ON solid or Flashing or not ON at all?Īre you trying to replace the ECM/PCM and need to program the chipped code into it or are you replacing the SKIM module or are you trying to have new keys cut and programmed?Īccording to the relevant KJ Service Manual, the SKIM module is programmed at the factory and cannot be re-programmed. So first of all is this a CRD or a Gasser? In the case of the is a bit more complicated! If the ECM does not get this ASD Relay confirmation then the Red Led on cluster stays ON all the time.motor will turn over constantly but not fire at all.in this case jumping pins 30 and 87 together inside the ASD Relay empty socket may get the engine to run.I had this! If the ECM gets this confirmation then the engine fires up. In the case of a CRD if the ECM is happy with the code received.the ECM powers up the ASD Relay and waits for confirmation from the ASD Relay that it.the ASD Relay.has in fact energized. If the ECM/BCM is not happy with the code received it will set the RED Led on left of Cluster to Flash and engine will start and run for a few seconds then die. The SKIM reads the code from the chipped key and sends it to the ECM/BCM. The ECM/PCM is programmed to the same code. The SKIM module on top of the steering column is programmed to the chipped keys 4 digit code.
