From the shop

SKIM stands for Sentry Key Immobilizer Module — on these Dodge platforms it's the piece that decides whether your key is allowed to start the vehicle. When it goes bad, the engine cranks but won't fire, or the theft light won't quit flashing even with the right key in hand. This is a used OEM module, part number P56045275AB (also crosses to 56045275AC), and it will need re-programming to your VIN by a dealer or locksmith before it'll run your vehicle. Fits Dakota, Durango, Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 within the listed years — mounts front-left. Message me if you're unsure which years apply to your build. — Hubes

Read the full transcript
Symptoms of a bad skim or scream on your Dodge Chrysler Jeep vehicle. If your vehicle is experiencing a crank no start or a start install issue, listen up. Chrysler's Century Key Emobilizer Module or SKIM is infamous for locking you out. Symptom 1, the engine starts. The engine runs for exactly two seconds, then dies. Symptom 2, a flashing round security light or a crossed out key symbol illuminated on your dashboard. Symptom 3, a crank no start, accompanied by fault code P06, 3, 3, meaning skim key not detected. If your key transponder isn't communicating with the transceiver ring, your engine computer will automatically shut fuel delivery down. Do not replace that PCM just yet. Head on over to my website, try our Fitment tool out or put your make model in gear in the comments and we'll help you find the skim for your vehicle.
