CAUTION: Prior to attempting programming,
it is necessary to have at least one functioning
original PATS key (not a duplicate). Before
installing programmer, perform the following
diagnostic test. With new ignition cylinder
installed, hold original PATS key to steering
column near ignition lock cylinder. At the same
time, attempt to start vehicle. If vehicle does not
start, starts and turns off, or theft light flashes,
vehicle will not enter programming mode
and programming using the onboard method
described in these instructions will not be
possible. A suitable scan tool will be necessary
for programming new key(s) to vehicle.
NOTE: This lock cylinder kit consists of an
ignition lock with keys and a programming
tool. There are three keys provided in this kit:
two transponder security keys and one non-
transponder key. The two transponder keys will
need to be programmed to your car to avoid a
no-start condition. Once ignition lock cylinder is
installed, new keys will need to be programmed
using the following key programming
instructions.
NOTE: Due to the programming process being
sensitive to voltage drops, it is recommended
that a battery charger is hooked up to vehicle
before beginning the programming process.
