SPECIAL TOOL
| Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS), Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) with appropriate adapters, or equivalent diagnostic tool |
NOTE:
This procedure is used when a customer needs keys programmed into the system and does not have 2 programmed ignition keys available. This procedure is also useful when programmed ignition key(s) have been lost or a new ignition switch assembly has been installed, and it is necessary to erase key(s) from the passive anti-theft system (PATS) memory.

If the remaining keys are with the customer and are not available with the vehicle, instruct the customer to refer to the Owner's Literature for instructions on programming the remaining keys.
