- On scan tool at SYSTEM SELECT, press YES. Select IMMOBILIZER, press YES. Select SPECIAL FUNC, press YES. Select KEY ID REGISTER, press YES. If DTC 11 is stored, CAN'T EXECUTE will be displayed. Perform appropriate test procedure, see appropriate IMMOBILIZER SYSTEMS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.

Press the YES key to accept password. If an incorrect password is input 5 times in a row, this screen is displayed and Immobilizer-ECU switches to unauthorized operation, start-prevention mode.
- Press YES key to start key ID registration.
- Scan tool will display COMPLETED when key ID registration is successful. If an error occurs during key ID registration, message CAN'T EXECUTE will be displayed. If key has already been registered, KEY ID HAS BEEN REGISTERED will be displayed.
