Resynchronization
1997 Chevrolet Astro Van 2WD V6-4.3L VIN WSECTION Resynchronization
Resynchronization may be necessary due to the security method used by the RKE system. The transmitter does not send the same signal twice to the receiver. The receiver will not respond to a signal it has been sent previously. This prevents anyone from recording and playing back the signal from the transmitter.
Resynchronization will be necessary if:
1. The transmitter battery is very weak.
2. The transmitter battery is changed.
3. The vehicle battery is very weak.
4. The vehicle battery is replaced.
5. The vehicle battery is disconnected.
To resynchronize the transmitter with the receiver:
^ While standing close to the vehicle, simultaneously press and hold the "LOCK" and "UNLOCK" buttons on the transmitter for 7 seconds. The door locks should cycle to confirm synchronization.
