PROGRAMMING THE TRANSMITTER

NOTE: The system uses ROM chips that match the transmitter to the security system control unit. When replacing a lost or stolen transmitter, you need to use the three ROM chips (provided with the new transmitter) to match the old transmitter with the new transmitter and the control unit.
  1. Remove the rear cover from the old transmitter and the new one.
  2. Remove the ROM chip from the old transmitter by sliding its socket holder toward the ROM chip.
    Fig 2: Removing ROM Chip From Old Transmitter
    G03324252
  3. Insert a new ROM chip into the socket holder, then slide the socket holder toward the socket to lock the chip in place.
  4. Repeat step  3 to install a ROM chip into the new transmitter.
  5. Reinstall the rear covers on the transmitters.
  6. Remove the security system control unit from under the driver's seat.
  7. Open the access cover on the control unit, and replace the ROM chip. (Use the same procedure as in steps 2 and 3.)
    Fig 3: Removing ROM Chip By Opening Control Unit Access Cover
    G03324253
  8. Press the reset button next to the ROM chip.
  9. Close the access cover, and reinstall the control unit.

If you are replacing a damaged transmitter, don't replace the ROM chips in the transmitters and the control unit; just remove the chip from the old transmitter and install it in the new one.

ORDERING A TRANSMITTER

Transmitters can be ordered only by authorized Acura dealers. Order them from American Honda using normal parts ordering procedures.

If your customer wants to add a third transmitter to the system, you need to order a four ROM chip set directly from Alpine Electronics of America. The Alpine part number for the four ROM chip set is 8319. This ROM chip set does not come with a transmitter. Order the additional transmitter from American Honda.

If you have questions about how to order a four ROM chip set, call Alpine's parts department at (800) 421-2284, extension 8885.

  • The system uses a stacking-type memory that accepts up to two transmitters. If you program a third transmitter, the memory for the first transmitter is erased.
  • To clear a lost or stolen transmitter from the system's memory, program a transmitter two times. This will remove the missing transmitter from memory, since only two transmitter codes can be accepted.
  • Another way to clear a lost or stolen transmitter is to erase all transmitter codes and then reprogram them. To do this, refer to the security system owner's manual.

PROGRAMMING A TRANSMITTER

  1. Remove the driver's side lower dashboard panel.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  3. Use a pen or pencil to press and hold down the green programming button on the side of the control unit until the interior lights come on. They will come on for 5 seconds. (Steps 3 and 4 must be done within 5 seconds of each other.)

  4. Press and release the top button on the transmitter. Verify that the LED goes out, the siren chirps once, and the front sidemarker lights flash to confirm that the transmitter's code was accepted by the control unit.
  5. If you have another transmitter to program, repeat steps 3 and 4.

ORDERING A TRANSMITTER

Transmitters can be ordered only by authorized Acura dealers. Order them from American Honda using normal parts ordering procedures.

PROGRAMMING A TRANSMITTER

To program the transmitters, use one of these two procedures:

  • Procedure One cancels all learned transmitter codes and adds one new transmitter. None of the previously programmed transmitters will work. Use this programming procedure only if all transmitters were lost or stolen, or if a new control unit has been installed.
  • Procedure Two adds additional transmitters without cancelling any of the previously learned codes. The system accepts up to four transmitters.

Procedure One  (cancels all codes, adds one new transmitter)

  1. Open the driver's door.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position and then to the LOCK position three times. (This step must be completed within 10 seconds, or the system will not enter the programming mode.)
  3. Within 10 seconds, close and open the door two times.
  4. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position and then to the LOCK position five  times. Close and open the door. (Complete this process within 10 seconds.) Verify that the power door locks cycle once to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
  5. Within 20 seconds, press the "Lock" button on the transmitter you are programming. Verify that the door locks cycle once.
  6. Within 20 seconds, press the "Unlock" button on the transmitter. Verify that the door locks cycle once to confirm that the system has accepted the transmitter's code.

PROCEDURE TWO (ADDS TRANSMITTERS)

  1. Open the driver's door.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position and then to the LOCK position three times. (This step must be completed within 10 seconds, or the system will not enter the programming mode.)
  3. Within 10 seconds, close and open the door two times.
  4. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position and then to the LOCK position three  times. Close and open the door. (Complete this process within 10 seconds.) Verify that the power door locks cycle once to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
  5. Within 20 seconds, press the "Lock" button on the transmitter you are programming. Verify that the door locks cycle once.
  6. Within 20 seconds, press the "Unlock" button on the transmitter. Verify that the door locks cycle once to confirm that the system has accepted the transmitter's code.

TURNING THE AUDIBLE CHIRP ON/OFF

  1. Open the driver's door, then insert the key in the driver's door lock.
  2. Turn the key to the "Lock" position, then to the "Unlock" position. Repeat this two more times. (Complete this procedure within 10 seconds.)
  3. Within 10 seconds, close and open the door two times.
  4. Within 10 seconds, turn the key to the "Lock" position, and then to the "Unlock" position, three times. Close and open the door once. Verify that the power door locks cycle once to confirm that the chirp has been turned on/off.

The transmitters with the Touring package are integrated into the Driver's Position Memory System. When the doors are unlocked with the remote transmitter, Memory 1 or Memory 2 in the DPMS is activated, depending on the transmitter used. When the driver's door is opened, the seat and mirrors move to the positions stored in the activated memory.

PROGRAMMING THE TRANSMITTER

NOTE:
  • The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter will be erased.
  • Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the programming mode.
  • You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from exiting the programming mode.
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter can be used for this step.)
  3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times. Use the same transmitter used in step  2 .
  5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
  7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter, including the one used to enter the programming mode. Make sure the power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted the transmitter's code.
  8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.

LINKING AND UNLINKING THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER

To link and unlink the remote transmitter from the DPMS, press and hold the "Unlock" and "Lock" buttons at the same time for about 1 second. The LED on the transmitter blinks once to indicate linked or twice to indicate unlinked.
