Series II Replacement Keys Inoperative

AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:

DISCOVERY Series II (LT) All

SITUATION:

REPLACEMENT KEY INOPERATIVE

A customer may complain that a dealer cut replacement key does not operate the door locks or the ignition. This may be the result of using a key blank with the wrong profile.

RESOLUTION:

USE A KEY BLANK THAT HAS THE CORRECT PROFILE





When a replacement key is requested, ensure that the key blank has the correct profile for use in the key cuffing machine (Figure 1 Profile A). When producing an extra key using the key duplication machine, either profile A or B may be used (Figure 1).
