Sentry Key Immobilizer System Indicator: Description
A Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters, but is only functional on vehicles equipped with the optional SKIS. The SKIS indicator is located near the upper edge of the instrument cluster overlay, to the left of center. The SKIS indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of a graphical representation or icon of a key that is circled and crossed-out in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when the indicator is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The SKIS indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
