Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment

General Procedure

NOTE: If 8 keys are already programmed, this procedure does not allow any more PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) keys to be programmed without erasing all stored key codes first.

1. Insert the unprogrammed PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) key into the ignition and turn the key from the OFF position to the RUN position.

2. From the scan tool, enter TOOLBOX. Select Body>Security>PATS Functions and follow the IDS (Integrated Diagnostic System) on-screen instructions to enter PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) security access.

3. From the scan tool menu select "Program additional ignition key" and follow the IDS (Integrated Diagnostic System) on-screen instructions.

4. The engine should now start with the new PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) key.
