A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS

Your vehicle uses either a key start ignition
system or keyless ignition system. The key start
ignition system consists of a either a Key Fob
with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
and an Ignition Node Module (IGNM). The key-
less ignition system consists of a Key Fob with
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and a

Keyless Ignition Node (KIN).

Ignition Node Module (IGNM) — If
Equipped
The Ignition Node Module (IGNM) operates
similar to an ignition switch. It has four operating
positions, three with detents and one that is
spring-loaded. The detent positions are OFF,
ACC, and ON/RUN. The START position is a
spring-loaded momentary contact position.
When released from the START position, the
switch automatically returns to the ON/RUN
position.
Ignition Node Module (IGNM)
1 — OFF
2 — ACC (ACCESSORY)
3 — ON/RUN
4 — START
Keyless Ignition Node (KIN)
This feature allows the driver to operate the
ignition switch with the push of a button, as long
as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
is in the passenger compartment.
The Keyless Ignition Node (KIN System) has
four operating positions, three of which are
labeled and will illuminate when in position. The
three positions are: OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN.
The fourth position is START. During start, RUN
will illuminate.
NOTE:
In case the ignition switch does not change
with the push of a button, the RKE transmit-
ter (Key Fob) may have a low or dead bat-
tery. In this situation a back up method can
be used to operate the ignition switch. Put
the nose side (side opposite of the emer-
gency key) of the Key Fob against the EN-
GINE START/STOP button and push to oper-
ate the ignition switch.
