Problem: A client couldn’t generate the PIN code from Autel IM608 II, so he went to a third party site to get a PIN code. The Autel system wouldn’t accept it and it failed.
Tool Required
Autel IM608 Pro2 Key Programmer
Troubleshooting
Step1. Read & Erase Error Codes in ECU
Connect IM608 & J2534 to OBD.
If you have any non-immobilizer related fault codes, you’re not going to be able to register a key. That’s why we should focus on DTCs stored on ECU at first.
Diagnostics >> Accept >> AutoVIN >> OK >> Kia(USA) >> Yes >> Diagnoses >> Auto scan >> ENG(Engine) >> Trouble codes
Here we have P0106, which is a non-immobile related fault code.
Exit to do “Quick Erase”.
If there’s still the fault code after erasing, you’ll need to rectify the problem first. Then go back to register the key. Fortunately, the fault code has gone.
Step2. Identify Vehicle
IMMO >> Accept >> VIN >> Auto detect >> Kia(Asia) >> OK >> USA >> Smart key >> Immo status scan
Step3. Read PIN
Read PIN >> Read Pin code(46 smart card) >> Read pincode by OBD
The function is only supported for vehicles with 64-chip smart card, please confirm whether the type of the key is correct. Press “OK”.
Warning:
You must turn off the Bluetooth function of the device and connect VCI to IM608 II with USB cable, otherwise the function may fail.
Press “OK”.
Turn on the Hazard warning light on.
Open and then close the driver door once!
If it is a vehicle with a key slot, please insert the key into the key slot.
If all key lost, please press “OK” to continue.

Insert the smart key to be programmed into the card slot.
Programming succeeded.
The problem was solved!
