PASS-Key I1 TM
Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key I1 TM
(Personalized Automotive Security System) theft
deterrent system. PASS-Key I1
TM is a passive theft deterrent system.
This means you don’t have to do
anything different
to arm or disarm the system. It works
when you insert or remove the key from the ignition.
PASS-Key uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches
a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key I1
TM system senses that someone is
using the wrong key, it
shuts down the vehicle’s starter
and fuel systems. For about three minutes, the starter
won’t work and
fuel won’t go to the engine. If someone
tries to start your vehicle again or uses another key
during this time, the vehicle will not start. This
discourages someone from randomly trying different
keys with different resistor pellets in an attempt to make
a match.
The ignition key must be clean and dry before it’s
inserted in the ignition or the engine may not start.
If the
engine does not start and the “SECURITY” light comes
on, the key may be dirty or wet. Turn the ignition off.
Clean and dry the key. Wait about three minutes and try
again. The security light will remain on during this time.
If the starter still won’t work, and the key appears to be
clean and dry, wait about three minutes and try the other
ignition key. At this time, you may also want to check
the
fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index).
If the starter won’t work with the other key, your vehicle
