Sentry Key Remote Entry Module - Removal
REMOVAL
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the 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.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
NOTE: The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) can be removed from the ignition lock housing without disconnecting the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) cable.
2. Lower the ignition key cylinder, lock housing (2) and switch (3) from the instrument panel as an assembly far enough to access the SKREEM mounting bracket.
3. Remove the screw (4) that secures the SKREEM mounting bracket to the ignition lock housing.
4. Disengage the SKREEM antenna ring (1) from around the ignition lock housing and remove the SKREEM.
