It is possible for the PASS-Key
®
III decoder to accept
the transponder value of a new or replacement key. Up
to 10 keys may be programmed for the vehicle. The
following procedure is for programming additional keys
only. If all the programmed keys are lost or do not
operate, see your dealer/retailer or a locksmith who can
service PASS-Key
®
III to have keys made and
programmed to the system.
To program the new key do the following:
1. Verify that the new key has PK3 stamped on it.
2. Insert the master key in the ignition and start
the engine. If the engine will not start, see your
dealer/retailer for service.
3. After the engine has started, turn the key to
LOCK/OFF, and remove the key.
4. Insert the key to be programmed and turn it to
ON/RUN within five seconds of removing the
original key.
5. The SERVICE THEFT SYSTEM warning message
on the DIC will turn off, once the key has been
programmed. It may not be apparent that the
SERVICE THEFT SYSTEM warning message went
on due to how quickly the key is programmed.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 if additional keys are to
be programmed.
If the SERVICE THEFT SYSTEM warning message
appears and stays on the DIC while the vehicle is being
driven, the engine will be able to be restarted if it is
turned off. Your PASS-Key
®
III system, however, is not
working properly and must be serviced by your
dealer/retailer. The vehicle is not protected by the
PASS-Key
®
III system at this time.
If the PASS-Key
®
III key is lost or stolen, see your
dealer/retailer or a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key
®
III to have a new key made.
Do not leave the key or device that disarms or
deactivates the theft deterrent system in the vehicle.
