When the PASS-Key
someone is using the wrong key, it prevents
the vehicle from starting. Anyone using a
trial-and-error method to start the vehicle will be
discouraged because of the high number of
electrical key codes.
When trying to start the vehicle if the engine does
not start and the security light comes on, the key
may have a damaged transponder. Turn the ignition
off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the key
appears to be undamaged, try another ignition key.
At this time, you may also want to check the fuse,
see Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 363. If the
engine still does not start with the other key, your
vehicle needs service. If your vehicle does start, the
first key may be faulty. See your dealer who can
service the PASS-Key
made. In an emergency, contact Roadside
Assistance. See Roadside Assistance Program on
page 399, for more information.
It may be possible for the PASS-Key
to "learn" the transponder value of a new or
replacement key. Up to 10 keys may be
programmed for the vehicle. The following
procedure is for programming additional keys only.
