The pass key system is the theft system that your vehicle uses to prevent someone from stealing the vehicle.

The fact that this is coming on means when you insert the key it is not recognizing the key installed in the ignition.

However, the fact that this happened around a battery issue and has not happened since then I would not worry about it.

More than likely this was just an erroneous issue that did not reoccur.

I am attaching the info below on this system including the wiring diagram that will help with any testing that needs to be done.

Please run through this and let me know what questions you have.

Thanks
