Howdy from Tennessee, I'm Chris aka Moose. Who am I helping today? I'm glad you've come here to get help. I will do my best to get the answer you are looking for. I help many customers, so sometimes my replies are delayed, I will respond once available. I try to be online at 1-5 pm and 10 pm-5 am every day. What steps were done to program 2 keys to the vehicle? Is the battery voltage near 12.6 volts? Are there PATS antitheft codes stored? Any aftermarket electronics on the vehicle that may be interfering with the PATS system?

I only have one key they was only giving one keyNo aftermarket electronicsNo no I don't have the extra 626What can I do to reset the security systemWhat steps can I do to reset the security systemHello are you there

Thanks, You will need to get another key made then a scan tool is needed to program both keys to the vehicle. You cannot program the keys to this vehicle in any other way and 2 have to be programmed at the same time. There is not a bypass method or reset option. If you do not own a scan tool that has the ability to access the 10-minute security parameter. You can call a locksmith to come to you. Thank you for seeking us for help, I hope I provided what was needed. Press reply if you need to follow up. If you liked my answer please let me know so I can mark your question complete. Moose
