is necessary to complete the “Adapt Immobilizer” test plan. Kessy Vehicles: Verify
that the reader coil (figure 1) is removed from the steering column and the key is
touching the reader coil during key adaptation. Bladed key vehicle, it is not
necessary to remove the reader coil. The test plan can be found under the ODIS
Special Functions Tab (figure 2) or by navigating to “Immobilizer functions” under
“Elect. Immobilizer 5A” after clicking the “Select self-test” button in the Test Plan tab
(figure 3). This procedure adapts both the remote and immobilizer functions of the
key.

Revision Summary
Clarified replacement fuse panel part numbers.
High thermal cycling and a soft-coated fuse used at the F16 location may cause
movement between the socket and the fuse blade. This thermal dilution may cause
abrasions on the fuse blade coating, which increases resistance. If this happens it
may result in localized overheating. This, in turn, can disrupt the electrical current
flow to the vehicle’s exterior lights and cause a partial loss (but not a complete
failure) of the vehicle’s exterior lighting. A warning lamp and message in the
instrument cluster will immediately alert the driver. Failing illumination may lead to
reduced visibility of the vehicle and may lead to a crash.
