  3. Connect the 7 electrical connectors.
  4. NOTE: If the Programmable Module Installation (PMI) procedure was not followed when a new SJB was installed, the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) function (from the Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT)) of the SJB must be programmed, or the IKT RKE functions is inoperative.
