1. Erase Electronic KEY

The "Erase Electronic KEY" procedure must be performed with a scan tool if the following conditions are met.

  • The owner has lost an electronic key.
  • Malfunctioning electronic key replacement

Caution

  • If the owner has lost an electronic key, it is necessary to erase the existing electronic key information from the wireless access module memory in order to prevent possible vehicle theft. Because this procedure will clear all electronic key information, reprogram remaining electronic keys or program new electronic keys.

2. Electronic KEY Registration

The "Electronic KEY Registration" procedure must be performed if any of the following conditions are met.

  • The diagnostic chart instructs you to replace the electronic keys.
  • The diagnostic chart instructs you to program the electronic keys.
  • Reprogramming is necessary because the electronic key information has been erased.
  • The owner has requested additional electronic keys.

Caution

  • By performing programming into the new electronic key, the authentication code is programmed to the electronic keys. If it has been reprogrammed to another vehicle, a new vehicle authentication code is updated. If reprogramming is performed, this electronic key will not be able to be used with the previous vehicle.
  • Keep the electronic keys to be programmed away from other electronic keys or other metal objects. Not doing so may result in an electronic key programming failure.

Note

  • Usually, 2 or 3 electronic keys are provided with each new vehicle. Owners requiring additional keys can receive up to a total of 5 electronic keys.
