Pass-Key(R) III System Auto Learn Procedure

NOTE: PASS-Key(R) III system auto learn procedure must be performed if all keys are lost, or Powertrain Control Module (PCM), PASS-Key(R) III module, ignition lock cylinder, steering column assembly or ignition key are replaced. A password is communicated between PASS-Key(R) III module and PCM to provide engine operation. If PCM is replaced, the PCM must learn password from PASS-Key(R) III module.
  1. Insert a valid mechanical coded unlearned ignition key in ignition switch. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. SECURITY indicator light will flash once per second for 10 minutes for length of auto learn timer.
  2. When auto learn timer expires and SECURITY indicator light turns off, turn ignition switch to OFF position. Remove ignition key. Wait 10 seconds.
  3. Repeat steps  1 and  2 two more times. Insert newly learned ignition key in ignition switch.
