When trying to start the vehicle if the engine does
not start and the security light on the instrument
panel cluster comes on, the key may have a
damaged transponder. Turn the ignition off and
try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the key
appears to be not damaged, try another ignition
key. At this time, you may also want to check the
fuse, see Fuses on page 392. If the engine still
does not start with the other key, your vehicle
needs service. If your vehicle does start, the first
key may be faulty. See your dealer/retailer who can
service the PASS-Key
®
III+ to have a new key
made. In an emergency, contact Roadside
Assistance. See Roadside Assistance Program on
page 427.
It may be possible for the PASS-Key
®
III+ decoder
to “learn” 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 your vehicle was first sold in Canada, or if all
the currently programmed keys are lost or do not
operate, you must see your dealer/retailer or a
locksmith who can service PASS-Key

III+ to have
keys made and programmed to the system.
See your dealer/retailer or a locksmith who can
service PASS-Key

1. Verify that the new key has a

on it.
2. Insert the already programmed 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
OFF, and remove the key.
4. Insert the key to be programmed and turn it to
the ON position within five seconds of the
original key being turned to the OFF position.
The security light will turn off once the key
has been programmed.
5. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 if additional keys
are to be programmed.
