If the engine still does not start, and the key appears to be
undamaged, try another ignition key. At this time, you
may also want to check the instrument panel PASS KEY
fuse. 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 or a locksmith
who can service the PASS
- Key III to have a new key
made. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index.
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. This procedure is for learning additional keys
only. If all the currently programmed keys are lost or
do not operate, you must see your dealer or a locksmith
who can service PASS
- Key III to have keys made
and programmed to the system.
See your dealer or a locksmith who can service
PASS
- Key III to get a new key blank that is a cut
exactly as the ignition key that operates the system.
Canadian Owners: If you lose or damage your keys,
only a GM dealer can service PASS
- Key III to have new
keys made. To program additional keys you will need
two current driver’s keys (black in color). You must add
a step to the following procedure. After Step 3 repeat
Steps 1 through 3 with the second current driver’s key.
Then continue with Step 4.
To program the new key:
1. Verify the new key has PK3 stamped on it.
2. Insert the ignition key in the ignition and start
the engine. If the engine will not start see your dealer
for service.
3. After the engine has started, turn the key to OFF and
remove the key.
4. Insert the key to be programmed and turn it to RUN
within 10 seconds of removing the previous key.
5. The security message will turn off once the key has
been programmed. It may not be apparent that the
security message went on due to how quickly the key
is programmed.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 if additional keys are
to be programmed.
If you are ever driving and the security message comes
on and stays on, you will be able to restart your engine
if you turn it off. Your PASS
- Key III system, however,
is not working properly and must be serviced by
your dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by the
PASS
- Key III system at this time.
If you lose or damage a PASS - Key III key, see your
dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS - Key III to
have a new key made.
