Spare Key Programming - Security Access Procedure

PATS Configuration Command Index:

NOTE:
- The Security Access Procedure is utilized to obtain Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) security access. PATS security access must be granted to erase ignition keys, enable/disable the spare key programming switch, or perform parameter resets may be required to program ignition keys. The Security Access Procedure invokes an inherent 10 minute time delay prior to granting security access during which the New Generation STAR Tester/(NGS/SBDS) must remain connected to the vehicle. Once security access has been granted, a security access command menu is displayed which offers various ignition key program, ignition key erase, and configuration command options (refer to PATS Configuration Command Index).
- Once security access has been granted, multiple security access commands should be executed (if necessary) prior to exiting the security access command menu. Execution of all necessary security access commands prior to exiting the command menu avoids the performance of an additional Security Access Procedure and the associated 10 minute time delay.
- Security access for the PATS and security access for the PCM must be obtained separately as needed (each requires a 10 minute wait).

1. From the New Configuration Function Card/SBDS: Enter SECURITY ACCESS PROCEDURE. This procedure will take 10 minutes to perform, during which the ignition switch must be in RUN and the NGS/SBDS must be connected to the vehicle.
2. After the 10 minute security access procedure has been completed, a new menu will be displayed with configuration and clearing options. Select as many of these functions as required before exiting out of this menu. Once exited out of this menu, the security access procedure must be performed again before any further configuration and clearing can take place.
