Shop on Amazon →Transmitter Programming
Important: All transmitters which are to be recognized by the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) must be programmed in a single programming sequence. If the system is placed in program mode it will erase all previously programmed transmitters upon the receipt of the programming signal from the first transmitter. Up to 8 transmitters can be programmed. Do not operate or program the transmitters in the vicinity of other vehicles that are in the keyless entry program mode. This prevents the programming of the transmitters to the incorrect vehicle.
1. With a scan tool, access the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver Module Setup menu.
2. Select Program Key Fobs and follow the on screen instructions.
Important: The scan tool must stay connected until all of the transmitters are programmed.
3. If programming more than one transmitter, repeat step 2.
4. Remove the scan tool.
5. Exit the vehicle and operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system operation.
