Replying to: tlindsay (Dec 25, 2008 2:13 pm) Disconnect the negative pole from the Battery for about 5 minutes and also the Fuse that says: "PCM Battery" (fuse box near the battery), and put everything again after 5 minutes. Then with the key in the OFF position, press the C/T and Reset buttons on the Overhead Console (EVIC), Turn the Ignition Switch to the ON Position (not Start the Engine), and release both buttons, and then a message will appear on the Overhead Console Screen, and tell you if the Test has been passed or not. It helped me with the same problem, and solved it today. Hope this works for you too.
#10 of 11 Can the SKIM system be bypassed. by mange1234 Mar 09, 2009 (12:24 pm)
Hey, Is there any way to bypass the SKIM system. Seems to me that this system is just a rip off to make Jeep owners spend large sums of money for keys, programming and additional services that would not be required otherwise. Some bean counter must have thhought this one up to squeeze more money out of the consumer. Regards, Mike Replies to this message: crull (Jun 05, 2009 5:51 am)
