REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING
NOTE:
- All remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitters must be programmed at the same time.
- Programming (or reprogramming) of the RKE transmitters can be accomplished using a scan tool or by carrying out the following steps.
1. The vehicle must be unlocked electronically using the RKE transmitter, the keyless entry keypad (if equipped), or the door lock control switch while the LH front door is open before entering program mode.
2. Turn the key from OFF to RUN 8 times within 10 seconds, with the eighth turn ending in RUN. If the module has successfully entered program mode, it locks and then unlocks all the doors.
3. Within 20 seconds, press any button on an RKE transmitter to be programmed. The doors lock then unlock to confirm that the RKE transmitter is programmed. Repeat this step for each RKE transmitter.
4. If the door locks do not respond for any RKE transmitter, wait several seconds and press the button again. If the door locks still fail to respond, refer to Locks, Latches and Entry Systems in the Diagnosis and Testing. (Make sure that no more than the maximum number of RKE transmitters are being programmed.)
5. Exiting the programming mode is accomplished if one of the following occurs:
- The key transitions to the OFF position.
- Twenty seconds have passed since entering programming mode or since the last RKE transmitter was programmed.
- The maximum number of RKE transmitters have been programmed.
