Method 2 - Service Programming System Transmitter Programming

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This procedure is a 10-minute relearn procedure using the Techline Terminal with SPS software. Once the 10-minute timer has expired, the transmitters can be programmed to particular positions or all known transmitters can be erased. A scan tool, Techline Terminal, and a replacement transmitter are required to perform this procedure.

  1. Ignition ON, connect a scan tool to the vehicle in the pass-thru arrangement.
  2. Insure that all power consuming devices are turned OFF on the vehicle.
  3. On the Techline Terminal, select Service Programming System and follow the Techline Terminal on-screen instructions, using the Pass-Thru method. Select "VTD Vehicle Theft Deterrent Learn" under Component Replacement. Ensure that "Prepare RCDLR for transmitter programming" is used.
  4. At this point the scan tool must remain connected for the duration of the 10 minute relearn procedure.
  5. When the 10 minute relearn procedure has completed, turn the vehicle OFF.
  6. With the scan tool still connected, access the following:
    • Vehicle Control Systems
    • Computer/Integrating Systems
    • Module Setup
    • Remote Control Door Lock Receiver
    • Program Key Fobs
  7. Select the transmitter position you wish to program:
      NOTE:

      Selecting Invalidate All transmitters will erase any known transmitters and will cause the DIC to prompt READY FOR transmitter 1, requiring all transmitters to be relearned to the vehicle.

    • Invalidate All transmitters
    • Next Available Slot
    • Program Key Fob 1
    • Program Key Fob 2
    • Program Key Fob 3
    • Program Key Fob 4
  8. After making the selection, a beep should be heard. If a beep is not heard or the DIC displays ELECTRONIC KEY NOT DETECTED, a valid transmitter was not found. Ensure that a valid transmitter has been placed in the cupholder and repeat step 4.
  9. The scan tool will be displaying the current transmitter programming status. Press the PROGRAM soft key on the scan tool to continue with programming. The DIC should respond by displaying: READY TO LEARN ELECTRONIC KEY #X (X = 1, 2, 3 or 4, depending on the selected position).
  10. With the DIC displaying the correct transmitter position that is to be programmed, place the new/replacement transmitter in the console pocket with the buttons facing forward and keychain provision facing up.
  11. A beep will occur once the transmitter has been learned.
  12. Depending on the option chosen above, the DIC may display a prompt asking that another transmitter be programmed. If programming additional transmitters, repeat steps 9 and 10, or press the EXIT soft key on the scan tool.
  13. NOTE:

    Newly programmed transmitters will not function until program mode has been exited (DIC is blank). This must be done prior to pressing the trunk release button in the next step.

  14. Press and hold the transmitter trunk release or liftgate release button for one second on each transmitter that was programmed to finalize the programming and confirm system operation. Multiple button presses may be required before the trunk or liftgate responds.
