Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter Programming

NOTE: All Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters must be programmed at the same time.

NOTE: Programming the RKE transmitters can be accomplished using a scan tool or by carrying out the following steps.

1. The vehicle must be electronically unlocked before entering the program mode using the RKE transmitter, keyless entry keypad (if equipped) or door lock control switch while the driver door is open.

2. Turn the key from the OFF to the ON position 8 times within 10 seconds, with the eighth turn ending in the ON position. If the module successfully enters program mode, the module locks and unlocks all the doors.

3. Within 20 seconds, press any button on an RKE transmitter and the doors lock and then unlock to confirm that the RKE transmitter is programmed. Repeat this step for each RKE transmitter.

4. If the door locks do not respond for any RKE transmitter, wait several seconds and press the button again. If the door locks still fail to respond, refer to Inspection and Verification. (Make sure that no more than the maximum number of RKE transmitters [4] are attempted to be programmed. If 4 transmitters are programmed and an attempt is made to program an additional transmitter, the vehicle horn will sound indicating that the maximum number of transmitters has already been programmed.) Inspection And Verification

5. Exiting the programming mode is accomplished if one of the following occurs:
- The key transitions to the OFF position.

- Twenty seconds have passed since entering programming mode or since the last RKE transmitter was programmed.

- The maximum number of RKE transmitters has been programmed.
