PASS-Key
®
III Operation
Your vehicle is equipped with PASS-Key
®
III
(Personalized Automotive Security System)
theft-deterrent system. PASS-Key
®
III is a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The system is automatically armed when the key is
removed from the ignition.
You do not have to manually arm or disarm the system.
The security light will come on if there is a problem
with arming or disarming the theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key III
®
uses a transponder in the ignition
key that matches a decoder in the vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
®
III system senses that the wrong
key has been inserted into the ignition, it shuts down
the vehicle’s starter and fuel systems. The starter will not
work and fuel will stop flowing to the engine. If
someone tries to start the vehicle again with the wrong
key, the vehicle will not start. Anyone using a
trial-and-error method to start the vehicle will be
discouraged to do so because of the high number of
electrical key codes.
When trying to start the vehicle, if the engine does not
start and the STARTING DISABLED warning message
on the Driver Information Center (DIC) comes on,
there may be a problem with your theft-deterrent system.
Turn the ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the key appears to
be undamaged, try another ignition key. At this time,
you may also want to check the fuse. See Fuses
and Circuit Breakers on page 5-109. If the engine still
does not start with the other key, the vehicle needs
service. If the vehicle does start, the first 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. See Roadside
Assistance Program on page 7-6 for more information.
It is possible for the PASS-Key
®
III decoder to accept
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 all the programmed keys are lost or do not
operate, see your dealer/retailer or a locksmith who can
service PASS-Key
®
III to have keys made and
programmed to the system.
To program the new key do the following:
1. Verify that the new key has PK3 stamped on it.
2. Insert the master 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
LOCK/OFF, and remove the key.
