Chrysler PT Cruiser SKIM Key & Immobilizer Delete Service
Did you replace the PCM/ECU in your Chrysler PT Cruiser only to find the engine starts and then immediately stalls? This is often caused by a faulty SKIM (Sentry Key Immobilizer Module), which blocks the PCM from allowing the engine to run. Our in-house SKIM Immobilizer Delete Service permanently removes this security programming from your PT Cruiser PCM.
What This Service Does
- SKIM Removal — disables the factory immobilizer system to eliminate no-start conditions
- VIN Re-Write — your VIN is written back into the PCM after SKIM removal
- Permanent Fix — prevents repeat immobilizer-related failures and allows PCM swaps
Important Notes
- SKIM Module Disconnect — the SKIM module must be unplugged before installing a PCM with security cleared
- Security Light — some PT Cruisers may still show the security light after SKIM delete; this does not affect drivability
- Plug & Play — most SKIM-cleared PCMs are install-ready; in rare cases, a global code clear may be required before the vehicle starts
How SKIM Works
Every Chrysler PCM is SKIM-capable, even if the vehicle did not originally include it. Once activated, the PCM always searches for a SKIM signal. By clearing the SKIM function, the PCM will operate normally without the immobilizer system. Both security and non-security keys can be used with a SKIM-cleared PCM.
