Each KeyCounter system includes two key fob discs: a Black "Daily Use disc" and
a special Red "Programming disc". KeyCounter can have up to four Black Daily Use
discs programmed to operate it, in addition to the one Red Programming disc. As it
is required to program additional or replacement daily use discs to operate the system,
the Red Programming disc should be kept in a safe place.
Additional daily use discs are readily available, and the Red Programming disc, if
needed, may be used in an emergency in place of a Black Daily Use disc. If the original
Red key fob is lost, the system's control module must then be returned to the factory
for reprogramming. The KeyCounter also has two other components which involve the
user's interaction: a system Status Light and a Valet /Override Switch.
These are typically mounted in a small housing within sight and reach of the driver.
Using the KeyCounter
No special action is required to engage, or disengage, the KeyCounter
system. Upon turning the ignition switch off, the starter circuit will automatically be
immobilized 20 seconds later. This 20 second period is indicated by the Status Light
illuminating Orange. When the 20 second period expires, the starter circuit is
immobilized, as indicated by the Status Light changing to flash Red once every
second. The Status Light will flash Red at all times while the starter immobilizer circuit
is engaged, as both an indicator of the system's immobilized starter status and also
as a visual theft deterrent. While the KeyCounter is in this state, the engine

The KeyCounter system will stay in Valet Mode until it is removed from Valet Mode.
To remove the system from Valet Mode, turn the ignition switch on, then press and
hold the Valet/Override Switch. The Status Light will briefly illuminate Orange, and
then go out. Normal operation will now resume: turning off the ignition switch results
in the Status Light illuminating solid Orange for 20 seconds indicating impending
engagement, then changing to flashing Red indicating that the starter is immobilized.
While the Status Light is solid Green the vehicle can still be started. Once it changes
to flashing Red, the vehicle cannot be started.
How to Program KeyCounter
Each KeyCounter system comes from the factory with two key fob discs. The
Black disc is for "Daily Use", and the Red disc, which is a special disc. The Red disc
is used for "Programming", but it can be used in place of the Daily Use disc in an
emergency. As the Red disc is essential to programming the KeyCounter, it
should be kept in a secure place. If the original Red key fob is lost, only by returning
the control module to the factory can it be re-configured for programming.
KeyCounter can have up to four Black Daily Use discs programmed to operate it,
in addition to the one Red Programming disc. Additional Black Daily Use discs are
readily available, and adding extra or replacement discs is not difficult. Before
beginning programming, have the Red Programming disc at hand along with all Black
Daily Use discs which are to operate the system.
