NOTE: This procedure is used when a customer needs to have an additional key programmed into the vehicle without erasing stored key codes, but does
not have 2 programmed keys available. This procedure is also useful when attempting to determine if an ignition key is defective, as a new key can be
installed without erasing keys or without having 2 programmed keys available.
NOTE: Before programming, the new key must have the correct mechanical cut for the ignition lock cylinder.
NOTE: If 8 keys are already programmed, this procedure does not allow any more ignition keys to be programmed. The number of keys that are
programmed into the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) can be determined by viewing the Instrument Cluster (IC) PID N_KEYCODE.
