Hey Guys,

Was just vagging my car checking some stuff and this CEL popped up:

00955 - Key 1
09-00 - Adaptation Limit Surpassed - Intermittent

Am I in for some big repairs? Wasn't sure what it was....what "key" is it referring to? Thanks!

Intermittent = clear it out and see if it comes back. If not, move on.

But what does it mean? I like learning more about my car..is it the physical car key it is referring to?

being a DTC or Diagnostic Code Trouble.

Here's what Bentley has to say:

00955: Key 1 - Adaptation limit exceeded

Causes:
Key not matched
Key operated more than 200 times while out of range.

Corrective Action:
Perform remote transmitter coding procedure.

Existing remote transmitter recoding procedure:

This procedure must be performed after changing the batteries in keys with remote control function, or if the scan tool displays DTCs of 00955 to 00958.

Press any button on transmitter.
If vehicle does not respond by locking or unlocking: Lock and unlock vehicle within 30 seconds using driver-side lock.
Now check function of recoded remote transmitter.

I understand that this is a older thead, but my question is did this code keep your car from starting
