On Board Key Programming

The on-board programming procedures for the Mazda 626 should be used only if the preferred methods are unavailable. We use special equipment to originate and add new duplicate keys to this model vehicle. The following procedures will require pre-programmed keys. Ilco transponder keys for Mazda are not available pre-programmed Originate New Master Key or Add Duplicate Key 1. Insert new key into ignition cylinder and turn it to the ON (RUN) position. Turn back to the LOCK position. Repeat until this has been done five times. Do not let the lock sit for more than one second in any position during this step. 2. Turn the key back to the ON (RUN) position. The dash mounted security light should be flashing rapidly. Within twenty seconds turn to the LOCK position and leave it there for five minutes. After this five minute delay, the security light should slow to a much slower rate. 3. Within twenty seconds, enter the code password. 4. The code password is obtained by supplying the vehicle’s Immobilizer Unit serial number to Mazda. It is an eight digit number unique to each Immobilizer Unit. 5. While carefully watching the dash mounted security light, turn the ignition to the ON (RUN) position. Count the number of flashes by the security light and turn back to LOCK when the number of flashes equals the first digit of the password. 6. Within thirty seconds, turn the ignition lock back to ON (RUN) and count until the number of flashes matches the value of the second digit of the password. Turn the ignition lock back to LOCK. 7. Repeat until all eight password digits have been entered. Use caution and turn the lock from one position to the other only when the security light is NOT illuminated. If a mistake is made or the count of flashes is lost, wait forty-five seconds and start over. 8. When the security light stops flashing and stays illuminated, the password has been entered correctly. 9. Start the vehicle and the security light should go off within two seconds. 10. Additional new keys may be added by inserting them and starting the car within twenty seconds of removing the previous key. 11. Thirty seconds after the last key has been removed, the vehicle will end the program mode and return to normal operating mode.
