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 SPAREKEY PID.
NOTE: If the 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. If the SPAREKEY PID reads DISABLE, the Key
Programming Using Two Programmed Keys procedure cannot function. This switch is set to ENABLE when the vehicle is built. This PID does not
affect the Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment procedure or the Spare Key Programming - Unlimited Key Mode procedure or the Spare Key
Programming - Using Diagnostic Equipment procedure.

Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment
Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment
NOTE: This procedure is used when a customer needs keys programmed into the system and does not have 2 programmed ignition keys available. This
procedure is also useful when a programmed ignition key(s) is lost or the ignition lock cylinder is replaced, and it is desired to erase key code(s) from the
Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) memory.
NOTE: This procedure erases all programmed ignition keys from the vehicle memory. The vehicle cannot start until a minimum of 2 keys are
programmed into the Instrument Cluster (IC).
