Transmitter Programming

NOTE: Transmitters are numbered on back for reference only (can be programmed in any order).

All transmitters which are to be recognized by Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR) must be programmed in a single programming sequence. If system is placed in program mode, all previously programmed transmitters will be erased upon receipt of the programming signal from first transmitter. Up to four transmitters may be programmed. Do not operate or program transmitters in the vicinity of other vehicles that are in keyless entry program mode. This prevents programming of transmitters to incorrect vehicle. Order in which transmitters are programmed is important. The first transmitter programmed will be transmitter No. 1, and second transmitter programmed will be transmitter No. 2. Number on transmitters are for reference only: No. 2 can be programmed as No. 1, or vice versa. Additional unnumbered transmitters are also available. Use care to program transmitters correctly.

  1. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located under left side of instrument panel.
  2. Turn ignition switch to RUN position.
  3. NOTE: Scan tool must remain connected until all transmitters are programmed.
  4. Using scan tool, select REMOTE FUNCTION ACTUATION SPECIAL FUNCTION: PROGRAM KEY FOBS to place RCLDR into PROGRAM MODE. Doors will lock and then unlock to confirm program mode.
  5. Press and hold lock button and unlock button simultaneously on one transmitter. After a delay of 15 seconds, doors will lock and unlock confirming programming of that transmitter.
  6. Repeat previous step to program up to 4 additional transmitters.
  7. Remove scan tool.
  8. Operate transmitter functions to verify correct system operation.
