When replacing immobilizer system-related parts or programming an additional key, program the immobilizer system-related parts so that the system operates normally. For immobilizer system-related parts programming, select the programming procedures according to the service. (See SELECTION OF PROCEDURE FOR IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM-RELATED PARTS PROGRAMMING .)
CAUTION:
- If any metallic or magnetic object is near the key, communication between the key and the vehicle may be obstructed, resulting in a failure to program the immobilizer system-related parts. Remove any metallic or magnetic objects, such as key holders, from the key when programming immobilizer system-related parts.
