Circuit/System Verification
Important: When using this diagnostic, more than one vehicle key is required to ensure proper diagnosis. If more than one key is not
available at the time of service, contact the customer and ask if any other keys can be provided for service. If unavailable, a new second
key can be created.
While viewing DTCs with a scan tool, attempt to start the vehicle using all of the available keys. The vehicle should start with all available keys.
If any key results in inoperative starting and DTC B3976 is set, replace the appropriate key.
