[KEY/REMOTE] Captiva(C140) Key programming

Replacing Keys

Note: This procedure will only relearn the vehicle keys. This procedure will not learn the immobiliser pre-release password or the challenge/response data. Do not use this procedure as a substitute for a 10-minute re-learn when replacing or reprogramming a TDM or ECM. Doing so will result in a failure to learn the pre-release password and/or the challenge/response data.
This 30-minute learn procedure should be used when all vehicle keys are desired to be replaced or reprogrammed. This procedure will erase all previously learned vehicle keys from the TDM. Once the 30-minute learn procedure has been completed, any remaining vehicle keys may be programmed using the Adding Keys procedure to ensure that they continue to function.

1. With a master vehicle key that has not been learned, turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Observe the security indicator, after approximately 10 minutes the indicator lamp will turn off.
3. Turn OFF the ignition, and wait 5 seconds.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 two more times for a total of 3 cycles or 30 minutes.
Note: The TDM learns the key transponder information upon the ignition switch transition from OFF to ON. You must turn the ignition OFF before attempting to start the vehicle.

5. With a master vehicle key, start the vehicle. The vehicle has now learned the key transponder information.
6. If additional keys are required to be learned, refer to Adding Keys .
7. With a scan tool, clear any DTCs.

•	This procedure adds keys only. The procedure does not erase previously learned keys.

•	The keys to be learned must duplicate the mechanical cut of the current key.

•	If more than one valet key is to be learned, immediately precede each valet key with a learned master key.

1. With a previously learned master key, turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Turn OFF the ignition and remove the key.
3. Within 10 seconds of turning OFF the ignition, insert the key to be learned and turn ON the ignition. The vehicle has now learned the new key.
