- Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Connect New Generation Star (NGS) tester to data link connector. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Using NGS tester, retrieve instrument cluster DTCs. If DTC B1213 is only code retrieved, go to next step. If any other DTCs are retrieved, diagnose and repair those DTCs before proceeding. See HYBRID ELECTRONIC CLUSTER DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE INDEX table under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
- Using NGS tester, monitor instrument cluster PID NUMKEYS. If Parameter Identification Definition (PID) indicates less than 2 programmed keys, go to next step. If PID does not indicate less than 2 programmed keys, system is okay at this time.
- Obtain 2 NEW encoded ignition keys. Using new key, turn ignition switch to RUN position. Program new encoded ignition key. See ERASE ALL KEYS & PROGRAM 2 KEYS under PROGRAMMING. If theft indicator does not illuminate for 3 seconds and then go out, go to next step. If theft indicator illuminates for 3 seconds and then goes out, clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), perform instrument cluster self-tests to verify no DTCs are present. See SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM .
- Repeat step 3) with remaining encoded key. If theft indicator flashes, retrieve DTCs and perform appropriate test.
