Programming Spare Key(S) With 2 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 ERASE ALL KEY CODES - PROGRAM 2 KEYS  . Powertrain Control Module (PCM) PID SPARE_KY must be enabled for this procedure to operate. To enable this PID, perform 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 illuminate for 3 seconds. 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 fault code). If necessary, repeat programming procedure. If programming of key(s) is still unsuccessful, perform self-diagnostics. See 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.
  1. Insert first programmed ignition key into ignition lock cylinder. Turn ignition switch from OFF to ON position (remaining in ON position for 3 seconds). Turn ignition switch to OFF position and remove ignition key from ignition lock cylinder.
  2. Within 5 seconds of turning ignition switch to OFF position, insert second programmed ignition key into ignition lock cylinder. Turn ignition switch from OFF to ON position (remaining in ON position for 3 seconds). Turn ignition switch to OFF position and remove second ignition key from ignition lock cylinder.
  3. Within 5 seconds of turning ignition switch to OFF position, insert a NEW unprogrammed ignition key into ignition lock cylinder. Turn ignition switch from OFF to ON position (remaining in ON position for 3 seconds). Turn ignition switch to OFF position and remove ignition key from ignition lock cylinder. The NEW ignition key should now be programmed. To program additional key(s), repeat key programming procedure from step  1 .
