RKE Transmitter Programming

RKE TRANSMITTER PROGRAMING

New Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters can be programed using the scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual, if no functioning transmitter is available. The scan tool can provide confirmation that the Controlled Area Network (CAN) is functional, and that all of the electronic modules are sending and receiving the proper messages on the CAN data bus.

The following procedure can be used as long as one functioning transmitter is available:

1. Turn ignition to the RUN position (allow ignition chimes to stop).

2. Using any original (working) transmitter, press the UNLOCK button for 4 to 10 seconds.

3. Within the specified 4 to 10 seconds, continue pressing the UNLOCK button and press the PANIC button for 1 second, and release both buttons (a chime will sound to indicate that the transmitter programming mode has been entered - allow 3 seconds for chime to sound).

4. Press LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously for 1 second and release.

5. Press and release any button on the same transmitter and a chime will sound after successfully programming the transmitter.

6. Repeat steps 4 to 6 to program additional transmitters.

7. Turn ignition to the OFF position. Transmitter programming mode will discontinue after 60 seconds. All transmitter programming must be completed within time specified.
