Owners Manual
The ignition key must be clean and
dry
before it’s inserted
in
the ignition or
the
engine may not
start.
If
the engine
does not
start
and the PASS KEY FAULT light comes on,
the key may be
drty
or wet.
Turn
the ignition
off.
Clean and dry the key. Wait about three minutes and try
again. The PASS KEY FAULT light may remain on
during this time. If the starter still won’t work, and the
key appears to be clean and dry, wait about three
minutes and try another ignition key. At this time, you
may also want to check the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers” in the Index).
If
the starter won’t work with
the other key, your vehicle needs service.
If
your vehicle
does start, the first ignition key may be faulty. See your
Cadillac dealer or a locksmith who can service the
PASS-Key
II.
If
you accidentally use a key that has a damaged or
missing resistor pellet, the starter won’t work and the
PASS
KEY
FAULT light will flash. But you don’t have
to wait three minutes before trying another ignition key.
See your Cadillac dealer or a locksmith who can service
the PASS-Key
11
to have a new key made.
If
you’re ever driving and the
PASS
KEY
FAULT light
comes on and stays on, you will be able to restart your
engine if you turn
it
off. Your PASS-Key I1 system,
however, is not working properly and must be serviced
by your Cadillac dealer. Your vehicle
is
not protected by
the PASS-Key
11
system.
If
you
lose or damage a PASS-Key
11
ignition key, see
your Cadillac dealer or a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key
11
to have a new key made.
