Security Access Procedure
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 98 other vehicles, including the 2001 Saturn SW2, 2001 Saturn SL2, 2001 Saturn SL1, 2001 Saturn SL, and 2001 Saturn SC2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Security access must be granted to erase ignition keys, enable/disable spare key programming switch, or perform parameter resets for instrument cluster and PCM. This procedure has a 10-minute time delay prior to granting security access during which the New Generation Star (NGS) or Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS) tester must remain connected to vehicle. After security access has been granted, security access command menu is displayed which offers various command options. Multiple security access commands can be executed (if necessary) prior to exiting security access command menu. Execution of all necessary security access commands prior to exiting command menu avoids the performance of an additional security access procedure and the associated 10-minute time delay.
Insert Ford Service Function (FSF) card into NGS/WDS tester. Turn ignition switch from OFF to RUN position. With NGS/WDS tester connected to vehicle, select VIC, then select SECURITY ACCESS PROCEDURE. This procedure will take 10 minutes to perform. After the security access procedure has been completed, a new menu will be displayed with command options. DO NOT perform ignition key code erase. Before exiting SECURITY ACCESS PROCEDURE menu, PARAMETER RESET command must be selected. Once SECURITY ACCESS PROCEDURE menu is exited, security access procedure must be performed again to perform additional commands.
