If the engine still does not start, and the key
appears to be not damaged, try another ignition
key. At this time, you may also want to check the
fuse, seeFuses on page 343. If the engine still
does not start with the other key, your vehicle
needs service. If your vehicle does start, the rst
key may be faulty. See your dealer/retailer
who can service the PASS-Key
®III+ to have a
new key made. In an emergency, contact
Roadside Assistance. SeeRoadside Assistance
Program on page 377.
It may be possible for the PASS-Key
®III+ decoder
to “learn” the transponder value of a new or
replacement key. Up to 10 keys may be
programmed for the vehicle. The following
procedure is for programming additional keys only.
If your vehicle was rst sold in Canada, or if all
the currently programmed keys are lost or do not
operate, you must see your dealer/retailer or a
locksmith who can service PASS-Key
®III+ to have
keys made and programmed to the system.
See your dealer/retailer or a locksmith who can
service PASS-Key
®III+ to get a new key blank that
is cut exactly as the ignition key that operates
the system.To program the new key:
1. Verify that the new key has a
1stamped on it.
2. Insert the already programmed key in the
ignition and start the engine. If the engine will
not start, see your dealer/retailer for service.
3. After the engine has started, turn the key to
OFF, and remove the key.
4. Insert the key to be programmed and turn it to
the ON position within ve seconds of the
original key being turned to the OFF position.
The security light will turn off once the key
has been programmed.
5. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 if additional keys
are to be programmed.
If you are ever driving and the security light comes
on and stays on, you may be able to restart
your engine if you turn it off. Your PASS-Key
®III+
system, however, is not working properly and
must be serviced by your dealer/retailer.
Your vehicle is not protected by the
PASS-Key
®III+ system at this time.
If you lose or damage your PASS-Key®III+ key,
see your dealer/retailer or a locksmith who can
service PASS-Key
®III+ to have a new key made.

deactivates the theft deterrent system in the
