Program A Key Using Two Programmed Keys
SPECIAL SERVICE TOOLS
NOTE
^
This procedure only works if two or more programmed ignition keys are available and it is desired to program additional key(s). If two keys are
not available, follow the procedure in Key Programming-Erase All Key Codes and Program Two Keys.
^
PID SPARE__KY must be enabled for this procedure to operate. If this Parameter Identification (PID) Index is not enabled, follow the security
access procedure and select Spare Key Programming Switch: Enabled.
^
If the programming procedure is successful, the new key(s) will start the vehicle and the THEFT INDICATOR will illuminate for approximately
three seconds.
^
If the programming procedure is not successful, the new key(s) will not start the vehicle and the THEFT INDICATOR will flash. If the
programming procedure was not successful, repeat the key programming procedure from Step 1. If the failure repeats, check Circuit 729 (RD/WH)
(not at all times) in instrument cluster for proper battery voltage. Repair the circuit if voltage is not present. For additional information, refer to
Diagnosis and Testing to review Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and perform pinpoint tests as required.
^
A maximum of eight ignition keys can be programmed to a Passive Anti-Theft system (PATS) equipped Vehicle. Use PID NUMKEYS to
determine how many keys are programmed to the vehicle.
^
If the steps are not performed, the programming procedure will end.
^
Ignition keys must have correct mechanical key cut for the vehicle and must be a PATS encoded key.
