Key with Integrated Transmitter Programming (with BTM)




Key with Integrated Transmitter Programming (with BTM)

Keys can be programming in various ways using the procedures outlined below. Using the Replacing Keys procedure will first erase all the known keys from the vehicle. Any existing keys and any new keys will then be programmed. This procedure should be used any time a key is required to be unlearned or erased from a vehicle. If a new key is being learned to a vehicle to replace a damaged, inoperative, missing, or stolen key, the Replacing Keys procedure must be used. This ensures that the old key cannot be used to access or start the vehicle after programming.

The Adding Keys procedure does not erase any keys prior to programming. The procedure will simply program the key into the next available slot. The Adding Keys procedure should only be used when adding an additional keys to the vehicle. The Adding Keys procedure should never be used to program a key to a vehicle that is having a key replaced, regardless of the cause for the replacement.

Replacing Keys (Without SPS)

Note:
* This procedure will unlearn all previously learned keys. All keys that are to be programmed must be with the vehicle.
* This procedure will take approximately 30 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).
* This procedure may be used with or without existing learned keys being present. If existing keys are present, keep the keys away from the vicinity of the vehicle. Failure to keep learned keys away from the vehicle will result in the learn changing to the Adding Keys procedure.
* The keys to be learned must duplicate the mechanical cut of the current key.

1. Insert the mechanical key of the new key 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 Remote Learn Pending, Please Wait.
2. After ten minutes, the DIC will display Press Engine Start Button To Learn. Press the ignition mode switch. The DIC will again display Remote Learn Pending, Please Wait.
3. Repeat Step 2 two additional times, for a total of thirty minutes. All previously known keys have now been unlearned. Remaining keys can be learned during the next steps. The DIC display will now display Ready For Remote # 1.

Note: The key slot is located inside the center console storage area. To access the slot, remove the circular cover at the bottom of the storage area with a pick tool. Insert the key into the exposed key slot.

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

Replacing Keys (With SPS)

Note:
* This procedure will unlearn all previously learned keys. All keys that are to be programmed must be with the vehicle.
* This procedure may be used with or without existing learned keys being present. If no existing keys are available, this procedure must be used.
* 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 (Delete) 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 ignition is not in the run mode, the learn procedure will fail.
* The key slot is located inside the center console storage area. To access the slot, remove the circular cover at the bottom of the storage area with a pick tool. Insert the key into the exposed key slot.

7. Follow the on-screen instructions.
8. After programming all keys, Programming Complete, is displayed.
9. Press and hold the ignition mode switch for 15 seconds.
10. Press the lock and unlock button on each key that was programmed. This will awaken each key and allow passive and active keyless entry functions to be established.
11. With a scan tool, clear any DTCs.
12. Verify each key is operating properly. Operate each of the keyless entry functions using the buttons on the key and then start the vehicle. When verifying operation, make sure that no other keys are near the vehicle.

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 cupholder.
2. Insert the mechanical key of the new key 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 slot is located inside the center console storage area. To access the slot, remove the circular cover at the bottom of the storage area with a pick tool. Insert the key into the exposed key slot.

3. Place the new key into the key slot.
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 slot and press the unlock button. To program additional keys, repeat Steps 3 through 5.
6. When all additional keys are programmed, press and hold the ignition mode switch for 5 seconds to exit programming mode.

Adding Keys (With SPS)
