Copying Ignition Keys

Tool Required:
J 35628-A VATS/PASS Interrogator

To copy an ignition key, it is necessary to first determine which PASS-Key II key code (resistance value) is needed. The ignition key being copied must be tested to determine the key code. The ignition key may be tested using J 35628-A.

1. Insert the customer's spare Ignition Key into the Key Code Reader on the J 35628-A Interrogator.

2. Press the On-Off rocker switch to the "ON" position.

3. A number from 1 to 15 will appear in the window designating the electrical code of the key.

4. Cut a new key having the electrical code determined from the J 35628-A Interrogator.

5. Start the engine using the new key to insure that the key is correct both mechanically and electrically.
