When the PASS-Key
®
III+ system
senses an incorrect key, the vehicle
does not start. Anyone using a
trial-and-error method to start the
vehicle will be discouraged because
of the high number of electrical
key codes.
If the engine does not start and the
security light on the instrument panel
comes on when trying to start the
vehicle, 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 and
check the fuses. See Fuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 5-92
for additional information. If the
engine still does not start with the
other key, the vehicle needs service.
If the 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 7-6.
It is 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
to the vehicle. The following
procedure is for programming
additional keys only. 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
®
III+ to get a new key
blank that is cut exactly as the
ignition key that operates the
system.
To program the new additional key:
1. Verify that the new key has a
1 stamped on it.
2. Insert the already programmed
key in the ignition and start the
engine. If the engine does
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 the ON/RUN
position within five seconds of
the original key being turned
to the LOCK/OFF position.
The security light turns off once
the key has been programmed.
5. Repeat Steps 1 through 4
if additional keys are to be
programmed.
