General Procedures

NOTE:
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 two 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:
NOTE:Before programming, the new key must have the correct mechanical cut for the ignition lock.
NOTE:
NOTE:If 8 keys are already programmed, this procedure will not allow any further ignition keys to be programmed without erasing all stored key codes first. The number of keys programmed into the system can be determined using the Datalogger signals.
