Chevrolet 2010 Colorado Owner's Manual page 121

If the engine still does not start with the other key,
the vehicle needs service. If the vehicle does start, the
first key may be faulty. See your dealer/retailer who
can service the theft-deterrent system and have a new
key made.
It is possible for the theft-deterrent system decoder to
learn the transponder value of a new or replacement
key. Up to 10 keys can be programmed for the vehicle.
The following procedure is for programming additional
keys only.
Canadian Owners: If the keys are lost or damaged,
only a dealer/retailer can service the theft-deterrent
system to have new ones made. Two current driver's
keys are required to program additional keys.
To program a new key:
1. Verify that the new key has PK3+ stamped on it.
2. Insert the current driver's key in the ignition
and start the engine. If the engine does not start
see your dealer/retailer for service.
3. After the engine has started, turn the key to
LOCK/OFF, and remove the key.
4. Insert the second current driver's key in the ignition
and start the engine within ten seconds of removing
the previous key. If the engine does not start see
your dealer/retailer for service.
5. After the engine has started, turn the key to
LOCK/OFF, and remove the key. Insert the key
to be programmed and turn it to ON/RUN within
ten seconds of removing the previous key.
The security light turns off once the key has been
programmed.
6. Repeat the Steps 1 through 5 if additional keys are
to be programmed.
If the security light comes on and stays on while driving,
the engine will restart if you turn it off. However, the
theft-deterrent system is not working properly and must
be serviced by your dealer/retailer. The vehicle is not
protected by the theft-deterrent system at this time.
In an emergency, contact Roadside Assistance.
See Roadside Assistance Program on page 8-8.
Do not leave the key or device that disarms or
deactivates the theft deterrent system in the vehicle.
