IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM COMPONENT REPLACEMENT/KEY ADDITION AND CLEARING[KEYLESS ENTRY 
SYSTEM]

id0914008050b3

Foreword

• When performing the following procedures, the immobilizer resetting procedure using the M-MDS must also 

always be performed: “instrument cluster replacement”, “PCM replacement”, “instrument cluster and PCM joint 
replacement”, “Key ID number clearing”. The engine will not start unless all work is performed using the M-
MDS.

• There are two methods for registering an additional key: Using the M-MDS and using two keys that are able to 

start the engine.

• When replacing any of the immobilizer system component parts, adding/erasing keys or performing other 

functions, refer to the following table and perform the applicable procedure (No.1 to 5).

• If the additional key registration method has 

been changed to “Customer spare key 
programming disabled” (inhibiting the method 
that uses two keys that are able to start the 
engine), the M-MDS is required when 
registering the additional key. In that case, 
perform procedure No.2.

• All the key ID numbers registered in the vehicle 

will be cleared.

• Unless keys are re-registered after clearing the 

key ID numbers, the engine cannot be started. 
Before beginning the procedure, verify that the 
customer has turned in all of the keys for the 
vehicle.

• Unless two or more keys are registered after 

replacement, the engine cannot be started.

• The keys (two or more keys) readied before

engine before beginning the procedure can be 
used.

• When replacing the key cylinder, have two or 

more keys ready for registration before 
beginning the procedure, since the previous 
keys will be invalid.

Changing the method for 
registering additional keys. 
(Method for registering other keys 
using two keys that can start the 
engine is disabled.)

• M-MDS

• After performing this procedure it is not possible 

to register additional keys according to 
procedure No.1. The system can be returned to 
the original setting. The M-MDS must always be 
used to change the system setting.

Caution

• If any of the following items are touching or near the key head, signal communication between the 

key and vehicle is negatively affected, resulting in the engine not starting or the key registration 
failure. Do not perform the procedure if any of the following items are touching or near the key 
head.

— Any metallic object

— Spare keys or keys for other vehicles equipped with an immobilizer system

— Any electronic device, or any credit or 

other cards with magnetic strips

Note

• Within the following procedures, the term a 

“valid key” means a “key that can start the 
engine”.

• After adding/registering keys, clearing ID 

numbers or replacing any component part of 
the immobilizer system, verify that all keys 
can start the engine within 5 s.

• When verifying that the keys can start the 

engine, wait at least 5 s or more between 
inserting them.

• If the engine cannot be started using a 

registered key, repeat the procedure from 
the beginning.

• Do not start the engine until the key 

registration procedure for all the necessary 
keys is completed. If the engine is started 
during the registration procedure, registration is stopped at that point. Repeat the procedure starting from 
the beginning if the engine is started before completion.

• Two or more key ID numbers must be registered for the engine to start.

• A maximum of eight key ID numbers can be registered for one vehicle. The M-MDS can be used to verify 

the number of key ID numbers registered to a single vehicle.

• Do not select screen menus of the M-MDS that are not indicated within the procedures.

5

Replacing the PCM and 
instrument cluster.

• Replacement PCM

• Replacement 

instrument cluster

• Registration keys 

(two or more)

• M-MDS

• Unless keys are registered after replacing the 

steering lock, the engine cannot be started. 
Before beginning the procedure, verify that the 
customer has turned in all of the keys for the 
vehicle.

• Unless two or more keys are registered after 

replacement, the engine cannot be started.

• The keys (two or more keys) readied before

No.1 Additional Key Registration Procedure (Using Two Valid Keys)
 Conditions

• Customer has two or more valid keys.

Note

• A maximum of eight keys can be registered for any one vehicle. If key registration is not successful and 

DTC 15 appears even though the procedure was performed properly, use the PID/data monitor function of 
the M-MDS and verify the number of keys that have been registered.

• If eight keys have already been registered, and it is necessary to register other keys, the previously 

registered key ID numbers must first be cleared. To clear the key ID numbers, refer to “09-14-23 No.3 Key 
Replacement Procedure (Clearing Previously Registered Key ID Numbers, Key Re-registration)”.

Procedure

1. Have one key (key 3) ready for registration.
2. Using key 1, turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Verify that the security light illuminates for approx. 3 s and then goes out.
4. Using key 1, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position within approx. 4 s after the security light goes out.
5. Remove key 1
6. Repeat Steps 2— 5 using key 2.
7. Repeat Steps 2— 5 using key 3.
8. If additional keys need to be registered, repeat Steps 1— 7 in the same manner as key 3.

No.2 Additional Key Registration Procedure (Using the M-MDS)
 Conditions

• Customer has only one valid key. Or customer has no valid keys. (Can also be performed even if there are two 

or more valid keys)

Note

• A maximum of eight keys can be registered for any one vehicle. If key registration is not successful and 

DTC 15 appears even though the procedure was performed properly, use the PID/data monitor function of 
the M-MDS and verify the number of keys that have been registered.

• If eight keys have already been registered, and it is necessary to register other keys, the previously 

registered key ID numbers must first be cleared. To clear the key ID numbers, refer to “09-14-23 No.3 Key 
Replacement Procedure (Clearing Previously Registered Key ID Numbers, Key Re-registration)”.

Procedure

1. Have one key (key 1) ready for registration.
2. Using key 1, turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

Note

• Although the security light flashes and DTC 15 is displayed, this does not indicate an improper procedure. 

Continue to perform the procedure as indicated.

3. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
4. Select “Body/Security/PATS function” from the M-MDS screen menu.
