theft-deterrent system. This means you don't have to do
anything special to arm or disarm the system. It works
when you insert or remove the key from the ignition.

When the PASS-Key III + system senses that someone
is using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle's starter
and fuel systems. The starter will not work and fuel will
stop flowing to the engine. 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 on page 5-99. If the engine still does not
start with the other key, your vehicle needs service.
