Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Omron RKE

(Factory-installed - See Group 42 in service manual) System Operation:

The system will not operate if doors are open or if the key is in the ignition. Push the UNLOCK button once to unlock the driver's door and illuminate the dome light for a few seconds. Push the UNLOCK button again to unlock the passenger doors. Push the LOCK button to lock all doors; the dome light will flash twice to confirm locking operation. If door is not opened within 30 seconds, the system will relock the doors. If equipped with the factory alarm system, locking/unlocking the doors will arm/disarm the alarm system. If the alarm is activated, the key must be used in a door to silence the alarm. If equipped, the TRUNK button must be pressed twice to unlock the trunk.

Receiver Module Location:

a) Expo/Expo LRV - Behind rear quarter panel at "C" pillar, above rear wheel well (driver side on Expo LRV; passenger side on Expo)

Electrical Connections: This is a factory-installed system and is "hard-wired" into the vehicle. Refer to the appropriate service manual for specific electrical connections.

Transmitter Programming:





1. With the ignition key off, connect the MUT-II scan tool into the data link connector.

2. Close all doors and the trunk (or hatch).

3. Turn the ignition key to "ACC" then to "OFF." The power door locks should cycle, indicating that you are in "Program" mode.

4. Press either button on the first transmitter slowly three times within ten seconds. The power door locks should cycle after the first transmitter is programmed.

5. Press either button on the second transmitter slowly three times within ten seconds. The door locks should cycle after the second transmitter is programmed.

6. Disconnect the MUT-II and remove the ignition key.

7. Verify that both transmitters operate properly.

If the transmitters do not operate properly, use the following alternative method:

1. Gain access to the RKE receiver module. Refer to the appropriate service manual for trim panel removal instructions.

2. The switch on the receiver module has 3 positions: "SET I", "FIX", and "SET II." (In the normal operating position, the switch should be in the middle ("FIX") position.) To program the transmitters, first move the switch to one of the "SET" positions.

3. Press either the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the first transmitter.

4. Move the switch on the receiver module to the other "SET" position.

5. Press either the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the second transmitter.

6. Move the switch on the receiver module to the "FIX" position.

7. Remove the ignition key and close all vehicle doors and trunk (or hatch).

8. Verify that both transmitters operate properly.
