NOTE:
If the SJB is not being replaced, this is the last step that is necessary.
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. IKTs can be programmed to the new SJB by cycling each IKT key to the ON position for a minimum of 6 seconds. If a new Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) was installed, the IKT keys must be programmed to the new IPC. For additional information, refer to
