To Program Keys Without WDS or WDS Tester
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Mazda Tribute. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
- This procedure requires two previously programmed keys and at least one unprogrammed PATS key with correct key cut.
NOTE:
- If this procedure fails to work, SPAREKY PID may be set in the wrong position (should show DISABLED if viewing PID with NGS and 9.OVer card - WDS does not have SPAREKY PID available).
NOTE:
- The following procedure must be performed in less than 20 seconds from the time the first key is turned to the ON position until the third or unprogrammed key is turned to the ON position or the programming mode will not be entered.
- Insert the first previously programmed key into the ignition and turn ignition from OFF to ON (maintain ignition ON for at least three seconds until the security light goes out).
- Turn ignition OFF and remove the first key.
- Within 5 seconds of turning ignition OFF, insert the second previously programmed PATS key into ignition and turn from OFF to ON (maintain ignition ON for at least three seconds until security light goes out).
- Turn ignition OFF and remove second key from ignition.
- Within 10 seconds of turning ignition to OFF, insert unprogrammed PATS key into ignition and turn from OFF to ON (maintain ignition ON for at least three seconds until security light goes out). Then turn key and the start the vehicle. New key is now programmed.
- To program additional keys, repeat procedure from step one. Wait until security light resumes normal flashing every second before beginning next, programming sequence (let it flash 10-12 times before beginning again). Do not try to rush this or programming may not work correctly.
NOTE:
- If key programming is successful, after turning key to ON position, theft indicator will light for three seconds and go off. Verify all keys start vehicle. If any key fails to program, wait until anti-scan mode is over (let security light begin its normal flashing [one flash per second] mode). Let it flash 10-12 times then perform key programming procedure again.
