NOTE: This procedure is to program additional sentry keys (up to 8) beyond existing 2 sentry keys. At least 2 sentry keys programmed to current module must be available for programming of additional keys. If 2 sentry keys are not available, perform PROGRAMMING BLANK SENTRY KEY USING SCAN TOOL .

Perform this procedure for each new blank sentry key.

Insert first valid sentry key into ignition lock cylinder and turn ignition switch to ON position for a minimum of 3 seconds but not longer than 15 seconds.
Turn ignition switch to OFF position and remove first valid sentry key from ignition lock cylinder.
Within 15 seconds of removing first valid sentry key, insert second valid sentry key into ignition lock cylinder and turn ignition switch to ON position.
When sentry key indicator on instrument cluster begins to flash and a single chime is heard (about 10 seconds after turning ignition on), turn ignition switch to OFF position and remove second valid ignition key.
Within 60 seconds of removing second valid sentry key, insert blank sentry key into ignition lock cylinder and turn ignition switch to ON position. Sentry key indicator on instrument cluster will continue to flash and a single chime will be heard (about 10 seconds after turning ignition on). Sentry key indicator will stop flashing. Sentry key indicator will then turn on and off once. Blank sentry key is now programmed.
