Dorman 924-797 Ignition Lock Cylinder Kit With Programming Tool

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

• Always wear proper safety equipment when performing repairs.
• Ensure at your point of purchase that this part fits your exact vehicle configuration.
• Reference the appropriate service manual for your vehicle. If you do not have a service manual, and do not have the training or experience to perform the necessary procedures correctly, seek the services of a qualified technician.

CAUTION: Prior to attempting programming, it is necessary to have at least one functioning original PATS key (not a duplicate). Before installing programmer, perform the following diagnostic test. With new ignition cylinder installed, hold original PATS key to steering column near ignition lock cylinder. At the same time, attempt to start vehicle. If vehicle does not start, starts and turns off, or theft light flashes, vehicle will not enter programming mode and programming using the onboard method described in these instructions will not be possible. A suitable scan tool will be necessary for programming new key(s) to vehicle.

NOTE: This lock cylinder kit consists of an ignition lock with keys and a programming tool. There are three keys provided in this kit: two transponder security keys and one nontrans ponder key. The two transponder keys will need to be programmed to your car to avoid a no-start condition. Once ignition lock cylinder is installed, new keys will need to be programmed using the following key programming instructions.

NOTE: Due to the programming process being sensitive to voltage drops, it is recommended that a battery charger is hooked up to vehicle before beginning the programming process.
