Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment

NOTE: If 8 keys are already programmed, this procedure does not allow any more PATS keys to be programmed without erasing all stored key codes first.
  1. Insert the unprogrammed PATS key into the ignition key cylinder and turn the ignition key cylinder to RUN.
  2. From the scan tool, enter TOOLBOX. Select Body>Security>PATS Functions and follow the IDS on-screen instructions to enter PATS security access.
  3. From the scan tool menu select "Program additional ignition key" and follow the IDS on-screen instructions.
  4. The engine should now start with the new PATS key.
