Switch: Enabled.
NOTE: If the programming procedure is successful, the new key(s) will start the vehicle and the
THEFT INDICATOR will illuminate for approximately three seconds.
NOTE: If the programming procedure is not successful, the new key(s) will not start the vehicle and the
THEFT INDICATOR will flash. If the programming procedure was not successful, repeat the key
programming procedure from Step 1. If the failure repeats, check Circuit 729 (RD/WH) (hot at all times)
in instrument cluster for proper battery voltage. Repair the circuit if voltage is not present. For
additional information, refer to Diagnosis and Testing to review diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and
perform pinpoint tests as required.
NOTE: A maximum of eight ignition keys can be programmed to a passive anti-theft system (PATS)
equipped vehicle. Use PID NUMKEYS to determine how many keys are programmed to the vehicle.
NOTE: If the steps are not performed as outlined, the programming procedure will end.
NOTE: Ignition keys must have correct mechanical key cut for the vehicle and must be a PATS
encoded key.
