Theft Deterrent Module Programming

PASS-Key II(R) Key Resistance Chart:

Important:
^ Any new Theft Deterrent Module will automatically program to the resistance of the key (or interrogator setting) being used at the first Ignition "ON" cycle. This can only be done once for the life of the module. New Theft Deterrent modules are unprogrammed. Before the system will function properly after a new module has been installed, it must be programmed to the code that matches the customer's keys. Programming a new module is very simple:

1. Install the new, unprogrammed Theft Deterrent module.

2. Insert one of the customer's keys in the ignition lock cylinder and turn it to the "ON" position. It's a good idea to start the Engine at this time to verify system operation.

3. Observe the "SECURITY" Indicator Lamp:
^ The indicator lamp should light for about five seconds and then go out. If the wiring or contacts to the Key Resistance Pellet or the key is defective or intermittent and a new module is installed, the Engine will start but the "SECURITY" Indicator will flash at a rate of one flash per second until the Ignition Switch is turned off. This indicates that the module did not program and that the system components, wiring and contacts should be checked for a fault.

4. Make sure that all of the Customer's Ignition Keys for this vehicle work with new Theft Deterrent Module.

Important:
^ Before connecting the Interrogator to the ignition lock cylinder circuit, always verify vehicle key code and set the code into the Interrogator using "key code" knob. This will prevent programming an unprogrammed Theft Deterrent module with an undesired key code.
