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 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 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. You must add a step to the following procedure. After Step 2, repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the second current driver's key. Then continue with Step 3. To program the new key do the following: 1. Verify that the new key has "+" stamped on it. 2. Insert the master 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 five seconds of removing the original key. 5. The SECURITY light turns off, once the key has been programmed. It may not be apparent that the SECURITY light went on due to how quickly the key is programmed. 6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 if additional keys are to be programmed. If you are ever driving and the SECURITY light 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 your PASS-Key® III + key, see your dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key® III + to have a new key made. 2-21
