Key Programming - With Programmed Keys

NOTE:
- This procedure only works if two or more programmed ignition keys are available and it is desired to program additional key(s). If two keys are not available, refer to Key Programming - Without Programmed Keys.
- PID SPARE-KY must be enabled for this procedure to operate. If this PID is not enabled, refer to Key Programming - Security Access Procedure, then select Spare Key Programming Switch: Enabled.
- If the programming procedure is successful, the new key(s) will start the vehicle and the THEFT INDICATOR will illuminate for approximately three seconds.
- If the programming procedure is not successful, the new key(s) will not start the vehicle and the THEFT INDICATOR will flash for one minute (after flashing for one minute, the THEFT INDICATOR will flash the fault code). If the programming procedure was not successful, repeat the Key Programming procedure from Step 1. If the failure repeats, review DTCs and perform Pinpoint Tests.
- A maximum of eight ignition keys can be programmed to a Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) equipped vehicle.
- If the steps are not performed as outlined, the programming procedure will end.
- Ignition keys must have correct mechanical key cut for the vehicle and must be a PATS encoded key.
