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 nor
start and the
SECURITY
message 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
5-98.
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
total keys may be programmed for the vehicle.
This procedure is for learning additional keys only. If all
the currently programmed keys are
lost or do not
operate, you must see your dealer or a locksmith who
can service PASS-Key@
Ill
to
have keys made and
programmed
to
the system.
See your dealer who can service PASS-Key@
Ill
to
get a
new key blank that is a cut exactly as the ignition key
that operates the system.
