Adding Keys (with BTM)

Adding Keys (Without SPS)

Note:
* To initiate, this procedure requires that 1 learned key be available.
* A total of 8 keys maybe be learned to a single vehicle.
* This procedure adds keys only. The procedure does not erase previously learned keys.
* The keys to be learned must duplicate the mechanical cut of the current key.

1. Place the recognized key(s) in the vehicle cup holder.
2. Insert the mechanical key of the new transmitter into the key lock cylinder located on the outside of the driver door and turn the key to the unlock position five times within ten seconds. The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display Ready For Remote #2, 3, 4 or 5.

Note:
* The key pocket is located inside the center console storage area under the cup holder. The cup holder will need to be pulled out to access the key pocket.
* The key must be placed flat in the pocket with the buttons facing up and the key ring on the right. If a large key ring prevents the key from laying flat in the pocket, remove the key ring and place the key in the pocket. Failure to position the key flat in the pocket will result in an inability to program.

3. Place the new key into the key pocket.
4. Press the ignition mode switch. When the key is learned the DIC will indicate that it is ready to program the next key.
5. Remove the key from the key pocket and press the unlock button. To program additional transmitters, repeat Steps 3 through 5.
6. When all additional transmitters are programmed, press and hold the ignition mode switch for 5 seconds to exit programming mode.

Adding Keys (With SPS)

Note:
* This procedure may be used with or without existing learned keys being present.
* This procedure will take more than 15 minutes to complete.
* A total of 8 keys maybe be learned to a single vehicle.
* This procedure will only learn the vehicle key information. This procedure will not learn any immobilizer information between the body control module (BCM) and engine control module (ECM).
* If the battery voltage is low, charge the battery before continuing with the procedure.

1. Connect a scan tool to the vehicle and access SPS. Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) (Service Programming System (SPS)).
2. Ensure that all power consuming devices are turned OFF on the vehicle.
3. Select the SPS application and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Select Reprogram ECU.
5. Select IMMO Immobilizer Learn - Setup.
6. Select the Program Transponder or Remote Key (Add) function.

Note:
* At multiple times during the learn procedure, SPS will instruct you to turn the ignition to the run position. Make sure the vehicle is actually in the run mode before continuing on the SPS terminal. If the igniting is not in the run mode, the learn procedure will fail.
* The key pocket is located inside the center console storage area under the cup holder. The cup holder will need to be removed to access the key pocket.
* The key must be placed flat in the pocket with the buttons facing up and the key ring on the right. If a large key ring prevents the key from laying flat in the pocket, remove the key ring and place the key in the pocket. Failure to position the key flat in the pocket will result in an inability to program.
