Key Programming - With Programmed Keys

NOTE: This procedure will only work if 2 or more programmed ignition keys are available and there is a need to program additional keys. If 2 keys are not available, perform KEY PROGRAMMING - ERASE ALL KEYS & PROGRAM 2 KEYS  . PID SPARE_KY must be enabled for this procedure to operate. To enable PID SPARE_KY, perform KEY PROGRAMMING - SPARE KEY PROGRAMMING SWITCH  and enable spare key programming switch. If programming procedure is successful, new key(s) will start vehicle and THEFT indicator will prove out (illuminate for 3 seconds, then go out). If programming procedure is not successful, new key(s) will not start vehicle and THEFT indicator will flash for one minute (after flashing for one minute, THEFT indicator will flash diagnostic trouble code). If necessary, repeat programming procedure. If programming of key(s) is still unsuccessful, proceed to SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM  . Maximum of 8 keys can be programmed into system. If procedure is not performed as outlined, programming procedure will end. Ignition keys must have correct mechanical key cut for vehicle and must be an encoded key.

Turn ignition switch from LOCK to RUN position (ignition switch must stay in RUN position for one second). Turn ignition switch to LOCK position and remove second ignition key.
  3. Within 10 seconds of turning ignition switch to LOCK position, insert a new unprogrammed ignition key into ignition switch. Turn ignition switch from LOCK to RUN position (ignition switch must stay in RUN position for one second). Turn ignition switch to LOCK position and remove ignition key. New ignition key should now be programmed. To program additional key(s), repeat key programming procedure from step  1 .
