Key Programming Switch State Control

SPECIAL TOOL DESCRIPTION

G06136947
 Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and Integrated Diagnostic
System (IDS) software with appropriate hardware, or equivalent scan tool
NOTE: The spare key programming switch is a programmable switch which provides the capability to enable/disable the normal customer spare key programming procedure detailed in the Owner's Literature. It must read ENABLE if more than 2 keys need to be programmed into the Instrument Cluster (IC). For additional information, refer to KEY PROGRAMMING USING TWO PROGRAMMED KEYS  in this article. This programmable switch is provided as a convenience for rental company fleets or other fleet purchasers who may not want the spare key programming procedure available to the vehicle driver.
NOTE: The spare key programming switch state can be viewed with the IC  PID SPAREKEY.
NOTE: If the Instrument Cluster (IC) PID SPAREKEY reads ENABLE, up to 8 keys total can be programmed into the IC  . For additional information, refer to KEY PROGRAMMING USING TWO PROGRAMMED KEYS  in this article. If the SPAREKEY PID reads DISABLE, the Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys  procedure cannot function. The switch is set to ENABLE when the vehicle is built. The switch does not affect the Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment procedure or the Spare Key Programming - Unlimited Key Mode procedure or the Spare Key Programming - Using Diagnostic Equipment procedure. This switch only affects the Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys  .
