Keyless Entry Transmitter: Service and Repair

To program (or re-program) transmitter(s) into the remote/keyless entry module, perform the following steps:

1. Turn ignition switch to ON or ON/ACC position and momentarily short the two terminals of the Program Connector (J4) (a two-pin connector taped to the wire assembly and accessed by dropping the glove compartment). All doors should lock then unlock. Remove the shorting pin.
2. Press any button on transmitter. All doors should lock the unlock.

NOTE: If door locks do not respond, press button again (up to three times maximum with the same transmitter). If door locks still fail to respond, go to Pinpoint Test .

3. Repeat Step 2 to program additional transmitters into the control module (up to four transmitters maximum).
4. Turn ignition OFF. All doors should lock then unlock.
5. Check operation.

NOTE: The remote keyless entry module erases all previous transmitters from memory when the transmitters are programmed or re-programmed. The remote/keyless entry module can store up to four transmitters in memory.
