PASS-Key@
111
Operation
Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key@
Ill
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key@
Ill
is a passive
theft-deterrent system.
This means you don’t have
to do anything different
to arm or disarm the
system. It works when you
insert or remove the key
from the ignition.
When the PASS-Key@
Ill
system senses that someone
is using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle’s
starter and fuel systems. The starter will not work and
fuel will stop being delivered to the engine. Anyone
using a trial-and-error method to start the vehicle will be
discouraged because of the high number of electrical
key codes.
When trying to start the vehicle,
if
the engine does not
start and the
SECURITY
light 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 undamaged, try another ignition key. At this time,
you may also want to check the fuse. See
fuses
and
Circuit
Breakers
on
page
5-90.
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 who can service the
PASS-Key@
Ill
to have a new key made.
It is possible for the PASS-Key@
Ill
decoder to learn
the transponder value of a new or replacement key.
Up to
10
additional keys may be programmed for
the vehicle. This procedure is for programming additional
keys only.
