How to Program a 2001 Dodge Stratus Coupe Ignition Chip Key Transponder
Step by Step How to Programming Instructions:
If your Suburban has a separate key and remote:
1. Start with two working Programmed Ignition Keys.
2. Insert the first programmed key into the ignition and turn it on.
3. Turn the ignition off and remove the key.
4. Quickly (within five seconds), insert the second programmed key and turn the ignition on.
5. Turn the ignition off and remove the key.
6. Insert the new key to be programmed and turn the ignition on within five seconds. The security light will turn off once the key is programmed.
7. Repeat Steps 1–6 for additional keys.
If you have a separate key and remote and all keys are lost:
Programming without Two Programmed Keys:
1. Insert the new vehicle key into the ignition.
2. Turn the ignition on. The security light will illuminate.
3. Wait for 10 minutes until the security light turns off.
4. Turn the ignition off.
5. Repeat Steps 2–4 two more times. After the third time, turn the ignition on; the key is programmed, and all previously programmed keys will no longer work.
6. To program the second key, turn the ignition off, insert the second key, and turn the ignition on. After programming two keys, follow the procedure in “Programming with Two Recognized Keys” to program any remaining keys.
For Smart Key System Programming with Recognized Transmitters (Keyless Access Vehicles Only):
1. Remove the key from the recognized transmitter.
2. Place the two recognized transmitters in the cup holder or on the passenger seat.
3. Insert the vehicle key into the key lock cylinder on the driver door handle. Turn the key counterclockwise to the unlock position five times within 10 seconds. The DIC will display READY FOR REMOTE.
4. Place the new transmitter in the transmitter pocket/insert located in the center console storage area.
5. Press ENGINE START/STOP. When the transmitter is learned, the DIC will indicate readiness to program the next transmitter.
6. Remove the transmitter from the pocket and press Unlock or Lock. To program additional transmitters, repeat Steps 4–6. When done, hold ENGINE START/STOP for approximately 12 seconds to exit programming mode.
7. Return the key to the transmitter.
Programming without Recognized Transmitters:
Follow these steps if two currently recognized transmitters are not available to program up to eight transmitters:
1. Remove the vehicle key from the transmitter.
2. Insert the vehicle key into the key lock cylinder on the driver door handle and turn it counterclockwise five times within 10 seconds. The DIC will display REMOTE LEARN PENDING.
3. Wait for 10 minutes until the DIC displays PRESS ENGINE START BUTTON TO LEARN, then press ENGINE START/STOP.
4. Repeat Step 3 two additional times. After the third time, all previously known transmitters will no longer work, and remaining transmitters can be relearned.
5. Place the new transmitter in the transmitter pocket/insert.
6. Press ENGINE START/STOP. When the transmitter is learned, the DIC will indicate readiness to program the next transmitter.
7. Remove the transmitter from the pocket and press Unlock or Lock. To program additional transmitters, repeat Steps 5–7. When done, hold ENGINE START/STOP for approximately 12 seconds to exit programming mode.
8. Return the key to the transmitter.
