Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys

NOTE: This procedure works only if 2 or more programmed keys are available. If 2 programmed keys are not available, refer to KEY PROGRAMMING USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT .
NOTE: This procedure works only if the customer spare key programming is enabled. If the customer spare key programming is disabled, REFER to ENABLE OR DISABLE SPARE KEY PROGRAMMING  or KEY PROGRAMMING USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT .
  1. Insert the first programmed PATS  key into the ignition key cylinder and turn the ignition key cylinder to RUN (maintain the key in RUN for approximately 3 seconds).
  2. Turn the first key to OFF and remove the key from the ignition key cylinder.
  3. Within 10 seconds of turning the first key to OFF, insert a second programmed PATS  key into the ignition key cylinder and turn the key to RUN (maintain the key in RUN for approximately 3 seconds).
  4. Turn the second key to OFF and remove the key from the ignition key cylinder.
  5. NOTE: The doors lock and then unlock to confirm that each IKT  is programmed.
