PASS-Key III uses a radio frequency transponder in
the key that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
PASS-Key
®
III Electronic
Immobilizer Operation
The vehicle is equipped with PASS-Key
®
III
(Personalized Automotive Security System)
theft-deterrent system. PASS-Key
®
III is a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The system is automatically armed when the
key is removed from the ignition.
You do not have to manually arm or disarm the system.
The security light will come on if there is a problem
with arming or disarming the theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key
®
III uses a transponder in the ignition
key that matches a decoder in the vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
®
III system senses that the wrong
key has been inserted into the ignition, it shuts down the
vehicle’s starter and fuel systems. The starter will not
work and fuel will stop flowing to the engine. If someone
tries to start the vehicle again with the wrong key, the
vehicle will not start. Anyone using a trial-and-error
method to start the vehicle will be discouraged to do so
because of the high number of electrical key codes.
When trying to start the vehicle, if the engine does not
start and the STARTING DISABLED DUE TO THEFT
SYSTEM warning message on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) comes on, there may be a problem
with your theft-deterrent system. Turn the ignition off
and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the key appears to
be undamaged, try another ignition key. At this time,
you may also want to check the fuse. See Fuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 5-121. If the engine still does
not start with the other key, the vehicle needs service.
