PASS-Key ® III+ uses a radio frequency transponder in
the key that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
PASS-Key ® III+ Operation
Your vehicle has the PASS-Key ® III+ (Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key
® III+ is a passive theft-deterrent system.
The system is automatically armed when the key
is removed from the ignition.
You do not have to manually arm or disarm the system.
The security light will come on if there is a problem
with arming or disarming the theft-deterrent system.
When the PASS-Key ® III+ system senses that someone
is using the wrong key, it prevents the vehicle from
starting. Anyone using a trial-and-error method to start
the vehicle will be discouraged because of the high
number of electrical key codes.
When trying to start the vehicle if the engine does not
start and the security light comes on, the key may have a
damaged transponder. Turn the ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the key appears to
be undamaged, try another ignition key. Also, check
the fuse. See Fuses on page 5-110. If the engine
still does not start with the other key, your vehicle needs
service. If your vehicle does start, the first key may be
faulty. See your dealer/retailer who can service the
PASS-Key
® III+ and have a new key made. In an
emergency, contact Roadside Assistance.
It is possible for the PASS-Key ® III+ decoder to “learn”
the transponder value of a new or replacement key.
Up to 10 additional keys may be programmed for
the vehicle. The following procedure is for programming
additional keys only. If all the currently programmed
keys are lost or do not operate, you must see your
dealer/retailer or a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key
® III+ to have keys made and programmed to
the system.
See your dealer/retailer or a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key
® III+ to get a new key blank that is cut
exactly as the ignition key that operates the system.
