PST-2 just shows part of the code. Not the whole code. The partial code helps with deleting stolen or lost keys from your immobilizer. This is done by the process of elimination by inserting your remaining keys one by one in the ignition. What ever code is not matched, is the one you delete from the immobilizer.

The key is still usable. The Pill can be programmed, but you can’t program the remote part of it without the long code.
