have new keys made and programmed to the system.
The following procedure is for programming a new
or replacement key when you have at least one
already programmed key. 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 STARTING DISABLED DUE TO 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 STARTING DISABLED DUE TO 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.
