J 35628-A PASS/VATS Interrogator

In order to copy an ignition key, determine which PASS-Key II(R) key code or resistance value is needed. Test the key that you will copy in order to determine the code. Use the following steps in order to determine the code:
1. Insert the customer's spare ignition key into the key code reader on the J 35628-A.
2. Press the On-Off rocker switch to the ON position.
3. A number from 1 to 15 will appear in the window designating the electrical code of the key.
4. Cut a new key.
Ensure that the key has the electrical code that was determined by the J 35628-A.
5. Start the engine with the new key in order to ensure the key is mechanically and electrically correct.
