3.4 Key Programming Mode
Once the ESS has been placed into key programming mode the ESS will behave as if in “sleep mode” for one ignition
cycle only. This allows for the one ignition cycle that is required to program a new key to a new or existing BCM. The
ESS will enter “normal mode” for the next ignition cycle. If the BCM is a new BCM in the vehicle with a new security
code, the ESS will then enter “armed mode” as expected.
Programming Extra Keys To The Vehicle
Programming more keys for the vehicle can be achieved using TECH2 once the ESS has been re-linked to the vehicle
as described as follo ws:
1. Ensure all door s, boot and bonnet are close d, all doors are un locked, dom e lamp is i n the ‘doors’ position and the
radio, headlight and wash-wipe switches are off.
2. Place new key into the ignition barrel.
3. Turn ignition on. Verify ESS beeps 5 times.
4. For WL Vehicles TECH2 must be operating in the Body Control Module sub-me nu only.
5. Perform the L ink Enable Pr ocedure (se e 3.5 Link Enable Procedure ). Wait 1 second between each lock unlock to
ensure the door lock actuators function correctly during this procedure.
6. Verify that the ESS beeps twice. TECH2 reports ignition is at 12Vdc. The ESS has now entered “Key
Programming mode”.
7. Select Key Programming function – “Extra Key” - from the security sub-menu in the body menu of the TECH2.
When TECH2 requests ignition to be cycled with the existing key, leave the new key in the ignition barrel and
instead, press the unlock button on the existing key. Verify the ESS beeps once and the Theft Deterrent LED
stops flashing. Complete key programming as requested by T E CH2.
8. Turn ignition off and wait for 2 seconds.
9. Turn ignition on. Verify ESS beeps once. The ESS is now operating in “normal mode”.
10. Crank engine. Verif y vehicle starts as normal.
Programming All New Key
Programming an All New Key for the vehicle can be achieved b y performing the following procedure:
Ensure all doors, boot and bonnet are clos ed, all doors are unlocked, dom e lamp is in the ‘ doors’ position and the radio,
headlight and wash-wipe switches are off.
1. Place new key into the ignition barrel.
2. Turn ignition on. Verify ESS beeps 5 times.
3. For WL Vehicles TECH2 must be operating in the Body Control Module sub-menu.
4. Perform the Link Enable Procedure (see 3.5 Link Enable Procedure). Wait 1 second between each lock unlock to
ensure the door lock actuators function correctly during this procedure.
5. Verify that the ESS beeps twice. TECH2 reports ignition is at 12VDC. The ESS has no w entered “Key Programming
mode”.
6. Select Key Programming function – “All New Key” - from the security sub-menu in the body menu of the TECH2.
Enter BCM security code as requested by TECH2. Complete key programming as re quested by TECH2.
7. Turn ignition off and wait for 2 seconds.
8. Turn ignition on. Verify ESS beeps once and Theft Deterrent LED is off. The ESS is now operating in “normal mode”.
9. Crank engine. Verify vehic le starts as normal.
