Programming

NOTE: In order to gain module security access, the diagnostic scan tool must have an active connection to the internet. A hardwired internet connection is strongly recommended.

NOTE: When programming keys, the RKE transmitter and the PATS portion of the key are programmed at the same time.

NOTE: Common anti-theft security access choices are:

Program Additional Key
Erase and Program Keys
Parameter Reset
Customer Spare Key Programming Enable/Disable
Unlimited Key Mode ON/OFF (vehicles with Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) only)
Program Unlimited Key Code (vehicles with Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) only)

Follow the procedure to establish a session with the vehicle. REFER to: Diagnostic Methods .

2.

From the diagnostic scan tool, enter TOOLBOX. Select Body>Security> PATS Functions.

3.

Select Yes when Gaining Security Access displays.

4.

Select either Dealer or Aftermarket and enter a valid username and password when prompted.

5.

NOTE: Unlimited Key Mode should only be used to program more than 8 keys for fleet vehicle purposes. The RKE function only operates for the first 2 keys programmed when the Unlimited Key Mode is enabled. Enabling the Unlimited Key Mode disables the RKE function until an Erase and Program Keys function is carried out. Disabling the Unlimited Key Mode restores the RKE function without the need to erase and reprogram keys.

Select the appropriate procedure and follow the on-screen instructions.
