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 procedure. 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 SPAREKEY PID.
NOTE: If the IC SPAREKEY PID reads "ENABLE", up to 8 keys total can be programmed into the 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 procedure. If the IC SPAREKEY PID reads "DISABLE", the
Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys procedure does not function. This PID is set to "ENABLE" when the vehicle is built. This switch does
not affect the Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment procedure, the Spare Key Programming - Unlimited Key Mode, or the Spare Key
Programming - Using Diagnostic Equipment procedures.
NOTE: The spare key programming procedure is available in order to program more than 2 keys, but no more than 8 keys into the PATS using the 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 procedure.
