NOTE:
This procedure is used when a customer needs keys programmed into system and does not have 2 programmed ignition keys available, or when programmed ignition keys have been lost and/or ignition switch assembly has been replaced. This procedure will erase all programmed ignition keys from memory and prevent vehicle from starting until 2 keys have been programmed. Ignition keys must have correct mechanical key cut for vehicle and must be an encoded key. If additional key(s) are to be programmed, perform KEY PROGRAMMING - USING 2 PROGRAMMED KEYS (TYPE "B"). If remaining keys are with customer and not with vehicle, instruct customer to see owner's manual to program spare key(s).
