PASS-Key III Operation
®
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 being delivered 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.

Your vehicle is equipped
®
with the PASS-Key III
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft-deterrent system.
®
PASS-Key III is a passive
theft deterrent system.
This means you do
not have to do anything
different to arm or disarm
the system. It works
when you insert or remove
the key from the ignition.
If the engine does not start and the security message
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 instrument panel
PASS KEY fuse. 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
or a locksmith who can service the PASS-Key
to have a new key made. See Fuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 5-96.
It is possible for the PASS-Key
the transponder value of a new or replacement key.
Up to 10 keys may be programmed for the vehicle.
This procedure is for learning additional keys only.
If all the currently programmed keys are lost or do not
operate, you must see your dealer or a locksmith
who can service PASS-Key
and programmed to the system.
