Changes or modifications to this system by other than an authorized service facility could void authorization to use this equipment. When the PASS-Key III system senses that someone is using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle's starter and fuel systems. The starter will not work and fuel will stop being delivered to the engine. Anyone using a trial-and-error method to start the vehicle will be discouraged because of the high number of electrical key codes. If when trying to start the vehicle, 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. At this time, you may also want to check the fuse (see "Fuses and Circuit Breakers" in the Index). 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 Buick dealer or a locksmith who can service the PASS-Key I11 to have a new key made. It ispossible for the PASS-Key 1 1decoder to learn the 1 transponder value of a new or replacement key. Up to ten additional keys may be programmed for thevehicle. This procedure is for learning additional keys only. If all the currently programmed keys are lost or do not operate, you must see your Buick dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key I11 to have keys made and programmed to the system. See your dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key I11 to get a new key blank that is a cut exactly as a current black colored driver's key that operates the system. Do not use a gray colored valet key for this procedure. 2-18
