Key Programming Switch State Control


Special Tool(s)
Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) software with appropriate hardware, or equivalent scan tool

NOTE: The spare key programming switch is a programmable switch which provides the capability to enable/disable the normal customer spare key programming procedure detailed in the Owner's Literature. It must read Enable if more than 2 keys need to be programmed into the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). For additional information, refer to Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys in this section. This programmable switch is provided as a convenience for rental company fleets or other fleet purchasers who may not want the spare key programming procedure available to the vehicle driver.

NOTE: The spare key programming switch state can be viewed with the IPC PID SPAREKEY.

NOTE: If the PID SPAREKEY reads Enable, up to 8 keys total can be programmed into the IPC using Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys in this section. If the PID SPAREKEY reads DISABLE, the Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys procedure does not function. This switch is set to Enable when the vehicle is built. This PID only affects the Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys procedure.

  1. Insert a programmed Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) key (or Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) key) into the ignition lock cylinder and turn the key from the OFF position to the ON position.
  1. From the scan tool, enter TOOLBOX. Select BODY-SECURITY-PATS Functions and follow the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) on-screen instructions to ENTER SECURITY ACCESS. For additional information, refer to Anti-Theft Security Access in this section.

  1. NOTE: The default setting on delivery of all new vehicles is ENABLE, when viewing the IPC PID SPAREKEY.

    From the scan tool menu select: CUSTOMER SPARE KEY PROGRAMMING Enable and follow the IDS on-screen instructions in order to complete the procedure.
