Transmitter Programming


Programming Procedure:




Module Mounting And Wiring:






All Remote Keyless Entry Modules (receivers) may be programmed to receive four different transmitters which all may be used to operate the remote control lock system on the vehicle. Also, several vehicles, each with the same system may all be programmed to operate from the same transmitter or four different transmitters.

During the programming of the Remote Keyless Entry Module, feedback is provided by the receiver by cycling the door locks. To program a Remote Keyless Entry Module (receiver):
1. Turn ignition off.
2. Ground the program pin.
^ Within 1 second, Lock, Unlock and Trunk will cycle to indicate module ready for programming.
3. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons until:
^ Lock, Unlock, Trunk, and Horn cycles to indicate the transmitter has successfully been programmed.
^ No more than 12 seconds.
4. Repeat step 3 for the remaining transmitters.
5. Remove the ground from the program pin.
6. Verify proper operation of the transmitters.

Do not leave the door lock key (oval head) in the vehicle while programming the Remote Keyless Entry Module. This will avoid unintentional lock out if the programming procedure is not properly performed.

All vehicles with the Remote Keyless Entry option will have the Remote Keyless Entry Module "matched" to the transmitter at the assembly plant. The above procedure is used by service to replace lost transmitters or to program a second transmitter.
