Programming Ignition Keys To The SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is manufactured. When a key is programmed into the WCM, the transponder ID code is learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the WCM. To program ignition keys into the WCM, follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
