Key Programming Switch State Control
NOTE: The spare key programming switch is a programmable switch which provides the capability to enable/disable the normal customer spare key
programming procedure detailed in the Owner's Literature. It must read ENABLE if more than 2 keys need to be programmed into the Instrument Cluster
(IC). For additional information, refer to Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and
Alarm Systems/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning/Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys. This programmable switch is
provided as a convenience for rental company fleets or other fleet purchasers who may not want the spare key programming procedure available to the
vehicle driver.
NOTE: The spare key programming switch state can be viewed with the IC PID SPAREKEY.
NOTE: If the SPAREKEY PID reads ENABLE, up to 8 keys total can be programmed into the IC using Key Programming Using Two Programmed
Keys See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning/Key Programming
Using Two Programmed Keys. If the SPAREKEY PID reads DISABLE, the Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys procedure does not
function. This switch is set to ENABLE when the vehicle is built. This PID does not affect the Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment, the Spare
Key Programming - Unlimited Key Mode or the Spare Key Programming - Using Diagnostic Equipment procedures.
