How to Program a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Ignition Chip Key Transponder

Step by Step How to Programming Instructions:

1. **Prepare Valid Keys**: Ensure you have two valid keys to proceed. If you lack two working keys, you’ll need a locksmith to program a key for you.

2. **Insert and Turn First Valid Key**:
– Insert the first valid key into the ignition switch.
– Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position and hold it for at least three seconds but no longer than 15 seconds.
– Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the first key.

3. **Insert and Turn Second Valid Key**:
– Insert the second valid key into the ignition switch.
– Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position within 15 seconds. After 10 seconds, a chime will sound, and the Vehicle Security Light will begin to flash.
– Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the second key.

4. **Insert and Turn New Key**:
– Insert the new key into the ignition switch.
– Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position within 60 seconds. After 10 seconds, a single chime will sound, and the Vehicle Security Light will stop flashing.
– To indicate that programming is complete, the Vehicle Security Light will turn on again for a few seconds and then turn off. The new key is now programmed.

5. **Repeat if Necessary**: You can repeat this procedure to program up to eight keys in total.
