P1685 code...Did I jump the gun?

[rustintampa]

Hello,
first post to the forum. I hope everyone is well.
I own a 2001 PT w/ 208,000 miles. My wife ordered it new in fall 2000.
She purchased a newer vehicle, recently, so instead of driving my 3/4 ton pick-up 60 miles to work, I'm styling in the PT saving gas!
Recently, key would not turn in the ignition...after checking a few forums, I replaced ignition switch "tumbler" (barrel & key). Car started once, but only briefly, then cut off.
I now get this code :
"P1685 Smart key immobilizer module has received an invalid key"

I obviously put a key & tumbler in it doesn't recognize...can I get the car running myself (reset this) or does it have to go to a service center or Chrysler dealership to be reprogrammed?

Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
all my best,
rustintampa

Did you set the tumblers to match your original keys,or are you using keys that came with the new cylinder?
