Method 2 - Service Programming System Fob Programming

This procedure is a 10-minute relearn procedure using the Techline Terminal with SPS software. A scan tool, Techline Terminal, and a replacement key fob are required to perform this procedure.

  1. Connect a scan tool to the vehicle.
  2. Insure that all power consuming devices are turned OFF on the vehicle.
  3. With a scan tool, select Request Info under Service Programming System and follow the scan tool on-screen instructions.
  4. Disconnect the scan tool from the vehicle and connect the scan tool to a Techline Terminal with the current Service Programming System (SPS) software.
  5. On the Techline Terminal, select Service Programming System and follow the Techline Terminal on-screen instructions. Select "VTD Vehicle Theft Deterrent Learn (Export Only)" under Component Replacement. Ensure that "Prepare RCDLR for key fob programming" is used.
  6. Disconnect the scan tool from the Techline Terminal and reconnect the scan tool to the vehicle.
  7. With a scan tool, select Program ECU under Service Programming System.
  8. At this point the scan tool must remain connected for the duration of the 10-minute relearn procedure.
  9. When the 10-minute relearn procedure has completed, turn the vehicle OFF.
  10. Using the scan tool, access the following:
    • Vehicle Control Systems
    • Computer/Integrating Systems
    • Module Replacement/Setup
    • RCDLR
    • Program Key Fobs
  11. Select Fob X (X = 1, 2, 3, or 4) on the scan tool. This will be the slot you wish to program to.
  12. Place the replacement key fob in the console pocket with the buttons facing forward. A beep will occur indicating programming completion. The previously known fob is now erased.
  13. If programming additional key fobs, repeat steps 11-12, or press the OFF/ACC portion of the ignition switch to exit programming mode.
  14. Remove the scan tool.
  15. Operate the active portion of each key fob in order to verify correct system operation.
