Key Programming (With Programmed Keys)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Mazda B4000, 2000 Mazda B3000, and 2000 Mazda B2500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: This procedure will only work if 2 or more programmed ignition keys are available and there is a need to program additional keys. If 2 keys are not available, perform KEY PROGRAMMING (WITHOUT PROGRAMMED KEYS) . PID SPARE_KY must be enabled for this procedure to operate. To enable this PID, perform KEY PROGRAMMING (SECURITY ACCESS PROCEDURE)  and enable spare key programming switch. If programming procedure is successful, new key(s) will start vehicle and THEFT indicator will illuminate for 3 seconds. If programming procedure is not successful, new key(s) will not start vehicle and THEFT indicator will flash. If necessary, repeat programming procedure. If programming of key(s) is still unsuccessful, perform self-diagnostics. See SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM . If procedure is not performed as outlined, programming procedure will end. Ignition keys must have correct mechanical key cut for vehicle and must be an encoded key.
  1. Insert the first programmed ignition key into ignition lock cylinder. Turn ignition switch from OFF to RUN position (ignition switch must stay in RUN position for one second). Turn ignition switch to OFF position and remove ignition key from ignition lock cylinder.
  2. Within 5 seconds of turning ignition switch to OFF position, insert second programmed ignition key into ignition lock cylinder. Turn ignition switch from OFF to RUN position (ignition switch must stay in RUN position for one second). Turn ignition switch to OFF position and remove second ignition key from ignition lock cylinder.
  3. Within 10 seconds of turning ignition switch to OFF position, insert a NEW unprogrammed ignition key into ignition lock cylinder. Turn ignition switch from OFF to RUN position (ignition switch must stay in RUN position for one second). Turn ignition switch to OFF position and remove ignition key from ignition lock cylinder. New ignition key should now be programmed.
  4. To program additional key(s), repeat steps  13 . A total of 8 keys may be programmed into system.
