REPAIR PROCEDURE



159



NOTE:



Make sure to use a # 0 Phillips Screwdriver that is in good condition, and apply enough down force when removing the screw to avoid damaging



the screw.



1 Using a # 0 Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw from the key case. Remove the cover and the key transmitter.



2. Follow the Decode and Copy instructions on the Matrix X key cutter to cut a new key with the new key case. This allows you to use the original



key without needing the key code.



3. Assemble the cover and the transmitter onto the new key case, and install the screw.



4. To add a key with the HDS, you need these items:



^ The new master key



^ First password (This five character code is available on the iN.) Go to SERVICE, select Vehicle Information from the left column, then



select Immobilizer Code Inquiry.



HDS with software 2.020.018 or later.



NOTE:



Make sure the market, the date, and the time on the HDS setup screen are correct. Select the F12 key in the upper right corner to get the



Set-up Details screen. Make sure Market is set to USA. Select the time display in the lower right corner to get the Date/Time Properties



pop-up window. Make sure the date and time are correct. For details, refer to the HDS Set-up Instructions listed under Tool Information in



ISIS.



5. Connect the HDS to the DLC (data link connector).



6. Insert the client's original key (now without the keyless transmitter) into the ignition switch, and turn the switch to ON (II). Turn on the HDS.



7. At the screen prompts, enter the VIN and the odometer reading, then verify the correct date and time.



8. From the system Selection screen, select IMMOBI.



9. From the Immobilizer Test Mode screen, select Immobilizer Setup.



10. From the Immobilizer Setup screen, select Add and Delete Keys.



160



11. From the Add and Delete Keys screen, select Add 1 Key.



12. From the Add 1 Key screen, select Begin to Add 1 Key.



NOTE:



If there are six keys already in memory, you'll need to stop and do Delete or Add Multiple Keys, but that requires all of the client's keys.



Any key not present will no longer start the engine.



13. From the first password screen, enter the first password, then follow the screen prompts. When you are finished, turn the ignition switch to



LOCK (0), then turn off and disconnect the HDS.
