2. Transponder Code Registration
This function allows the normal registration of additional transponder keys (Master or
Sub) using a registered Master Key.
NOTE:
This function requires the use of one registered Master Key. The use of a Sub Key will
NOT complete Transponder Code Registration. Attempting registration of additional
keys with only a Sub Key will result in errors and incomplete registration.
HINT:
The Immobilizer key blanks are preconfigured as Master or Sub Keys. Master Key
blanks cannot be registered as Sub Keys nor can Sub Key blanks be registered as
Master Keys. Also, the flat key is now enabled as a full function Master Key that must
be registered.
A. Insert a registered Master Key into the ignition cylinder and turn to the ON position.
B. Follow the screen flow in Figure 2 to register new Master or Sub keys. It is
possible to register up to 5 Master Keys and 3 Sub Keys.
C. Be sure to follow the instructions on key insertion, ignition ON/OFF and key
removal exactly as described on the Diagnostic Tester.

4. Transponder ECU Reset
This function allows the registration of a new Master Key even if all original Master
Keys are lost. Once the Immobilizer system is reset, all previous registered keys will
be erased. Use a new transponder Master Key to complete Transponder ECU Reset.
Immobilizer Reset
The Immobilizer Reset function is a 4-step process:
A. Using the Diagnostic Tester, retrieve a ªSeed Numberº through the OBD/MOBD
Immobilizer function.
A ªSeed Numberº is a unique number provided by the Diagnostic Tester and
validated at TMS in order to return a Passcode.
B. Using the TIS (Technical Information System) workstation, select Immobilizer
Reset, and complete the request form to retrieve a ªPasscode Number.º
A ªPasscode Numberº is a unique number required by the Diagnostic Tester
to reset the ECU allowing it to accept a new Master Key.
C. Enter the ªPasscode Numberº received from TIS into the Diagnostic Tester,
register any additional customer keys, and close auto registration mode.
D. Confirm successful Immobilizer reset and new Master Key registration.Operation
