PASS-K~~~
11
Your vehicle
is
equipped
with the PASS-Key I1
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key
I1
is a passive
theft-deterrent system. It
works when you insert or
remove the key from
the ignition.
PASS-Key I1 uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
I1
system senses that someone
is
using the wrong key,
it
shuts down the vehicle’s starter
and fuel systems. For about three minutes, the starter
won’t work and fuel won’t go to the engine. If someone
tries to start your vehicle again or uses another key
,
during this time, the vehicle will not start. This
discourages someone from randomly trying different
keys with different resistor pellets in an attempt to make
a match.
The ignition key must be clean and dry before it’s
inserted in the ignition or the engine may not start.
If
the
engine does not start and the SECURITY light is on
or
you get the CLEAN KEY. ..WAIT
3
MINUTES message
on
the DIC, the key may be dirty or wet. Turn the
ignition
off.
Clean and dry the key. Wait about three minutes and try
again. The SECURITY light may remain on during this
time. If the starter still won’t work, and the key appears
to be clean and dry, wait about three minutes and try
another ignition key. At this time,
you
may also want to
check the fuses
(see
“Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the
Index). If the starter won’t work with the other key, your
vehicle needs service. If your vehicle does start, the first
ignition key may be faulty. See your Aurora retailer or a
locksmith who can service the PASS-Key
11.
If you accidentally use
a
key that has a damaged or
missing resistor pellet, the starter won’t work. The
SECURITY light will flash and the CLEAN
KEY.
..
WAIT
3
MINUTES message will appear. But you don’t
have to wait three minutes before trying another
ignition key.
