Official summary

SERVICE INFORMATION While performing the Intelligent Key Registration procedure, additional steps may need to be performed if the following occurs: - the first registration attempt is unsuccessful, AND - during the next registration attempt, CONSULT-III plus becomes hung up / stuck (see Figure 1 in the bulletin) prior to the pre-PIN read step and will not allow you to proceed. Perform the additional steps, beginning on page 2, to restart the procedure. See this bulletin for more detail.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
