Equipped with Immobilizer III – ODIS Key Adaptation Tip
When adapting keys using ODIS, an error message may be displayed once the test plan directs to cycle
the key off. If error is displayed, this does not necessarily indicate key adaptation has failed. If the
immobilizer light turns off (instead of flashes) when key is switched on, key adaptation is in process.
Continue to cycle remaining keys through ignition and then wait 2 minutes with the key off after adapting
the last key. After 2 minutes have elapsed, evaluate vehicle operation with all keys, waiting 2 minutes with
ignition off between each key.
