  1. Connect hand-held tester to data link connector No. 3. See Figure. When using hand-held tester, more detailed procedures may be displayed on tester while performing this procedure.
  2. Insert registered master key in ignition lock cylinder. Turn ignition on. Request KEY CODE DELETION from hand-held tester. Ensure SECURITY indicator light flashes. SECURITY indicator light is located just above the fuel gauge on the instrument cluster.
  3. Within 10 seconds of requesting KEY CODE DELETION on hand-held tester, remove master key from ignition lock cylinder. Procedure is now complete and transponder key code should now be erased. If master key cannot be removed from ignition lock cylinder, transponder key code erasure is cancelled and SECURITY indicator light will turn off.
