Subject:
Section 9K - Revised Procedure for Reprogramming Remote Control Door Lock Receiver to Transmitter

Models:
1997 Chevrolet Malibu
1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass

This bulletin is being issued to revise the Reprogramming Remote Control Door Lock Receiver to Transmitter procedure in Section 9k of the Service Manual.

Reprogramming Remote Control Door Lock Receiver To Transmitter

A Remote Control Door Lock Receiver can have up to four different transmitters programmed to it. A transmitter can be programmed to more than one vehicle providing the remote keyless entry systems are similar. When reprogramming one transmitter any and all other transmitters (maximum of four (4) total per receiver) must be reprogrammed at the same time in order for the other transmitters to work.

Important:
Leave a window down in the vehicle while reprogramming the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver system. This will avoid unintentional lock out if the reprogramming procedure is not properly performed.

Procedure

1. Turn ignition off.

2. Ground the receiver program terminal by jumping the two terminals located in the program ground connector.

^ Lock, Unlock, and Rear Compartment Lid Release will cycle to indicate module is ready for reprogramming.

3. Press and hold the lock and unlock buttons at the same time until door locks cycle, rear compartment lid lock release cycle and horn chirp sounds to indicate the transmitter has successfully been reprogrammed (approximately 12 seconds).

4. Repeat Step 3 for the remaining transmitters.

5. Remove the jumper at the program connector.

6. Verify proper operation of the transmitters.
