  2. Turn on PASS-Key(R) II VATS Interrogator and move key code switch to "1" position and attempt to start engine. If engine starts, key code is "1". If engine does not start, turn ignition switch to OFF position and wait 3 minutes.
  3. Move key code switch to next number and attempt to start engine. If engine does not start, continue trying different key codes until proper key code is found.
