Resynchronization

The Remote Function Actuation (RFA) system uses a continually changing code for increased security. Normally, the remote control door lock receiver will keep track of this changing code. However, loss of synchronization will occur if:
- The transmitter is activated more than 256 times while out of range of the vehicle.
- The transmitter is immediately activated more than 16 times after transmitter battery replacement (while out of range of the vehicle).

If the transmitter has stopped working, you may need to synchronize the transmitter to the vehicle remote control door lock receiver. To do this, press the "LOCK" and "UNLOCK" buttons together and hold for at least 7 seconds or until the horn sounds if equipped with content theft deterrent.
Inspect
