NOTE:

Check if there are several keys with transponders on the same keyring. The keys should hang free so that they do not affect the key being used.

Try to start the car with all the customer's keys.

One of the following alternatives can occur:

1 : The engine starts with all keys. Refer to Erasing diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)
2 :: The engine starts with at least one of the keys. Refer to Checking key code
3 : The engine does not start. Refer to Checking for a short-circuit to supply voltage
