Vehicle Theft Deterrent System Quick Learn Procedure

NOTE: The VTD system quick learn procedure is used to learn additional ignition keys (Black master or Gray valet). A learned Black master key must be used to initiate procedure. Up to 10 ignition keys can be learned.
  1. Insert a valid master ignition key in ignition switch. Turn ignition on, engine off. After 10 seconds, turn ignition off and remove key.
  2. Within 10 seconds, insert new valid mechanical coded unlearned key and turn ignition switch to RUN position. SECURITY indicator light will illuminate until key is learned. This may happen so quickly light illumination is not observed. Turn ignition off. Key is now learned. To learn additional keys, repeat this step.
