2002 JEEP DASH LIGHT OF A KEY INSIDE A CIRCLE is on and jeep won't start

It sounds like the vehicle lost its programming or immobiliser settings. When you replace the module, not only does it need to be programmed or "coded" to the vehicle, the security/immobiliser also needs to be "opened". Finally you MUST MUST MUST use the original master key when starting the vehicle after the fix. If you arent using the master key OR if the battery is low, AT ALL, the sync between, vehicle, computer and programming wont take. Any other lights on the dash? any codes? if it is simply the key, try disconnecting the battery (or completely pulling it out to charge it) then putting it all back in and use the master key to start the car. i recommend putting the key to the "on position" for about 15 seconds before starting, crank it up, let it warm up, then drive at a low rate of speed thru all the shift cycles, to relearn PCM to vehicle and vice versa

WHY MY 2002 JEEP CHEROKEE GRAND WONT START THERE IS A RED CIRCLE AROUND A KEY AND A FLASHING LIGHT WHAT TO DO ?

lost the operators guide I see, like all post here ,same topic.
the dash warning are unique to all cars, all years, and all options.
sounds like you have SKIM, option ,
the operators guide said.
try both keys, car came with 2, lost that too> the spare fob set?
there are 2 lamps SKIS and SKIM.
the key logo means this :
the key transponder chip is bad in THIS key , try the other.
there are no batteries in the key, for this.
the battery fob only runs door lock, logic.

never run any jeep 1999 to now with only 1 key
use 3 keys, so you can make your own spares.
or pay big money later... for sure.
