Method 2 - Key Fob Slot Programming
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Cadillac STS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This procedure will add or replace a key fob. Method 2 allows you to choose which location (slot) the unprogrammed fob will be learned to. If you are replacing a key fob, this method will erase the previously known key fob programmed to that particular slot. This procedure requires that you have a known good key fob, a replacement key fob, the vehicle mechanical key, and a scan tool.
IMPORTANT:
This procedure is not available when the maximum number of fobs (4) have been programmed. If 4 key fobs are programmed to this RCDLR and this method is attempted, the DIC will display MAX FOBS LEARNED and the programming procedure will exit. Method 4 must be used in this instance.
- The vehicle must be OFF.
- Place a known key fob within the interior of the vehicle.
- Install a scan tool.
- Use the scan tool, to access the following:
- Vehicle Control Systems
- Computer/Integrating Systems
- Module Replacement/Setup
- RCDLR
- Program Key Fobs
- Insert the vehicle key in the driver door lock cylinder located in the driver door handle and cycle the key 5 times within 5 seconds.
- Select Fob X (X = 1, 2, 3, or 4) on the scan tool. This will be the slot you wish to program to.
- 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.
- If programming additional key fobs, repeat steps 4-8, or press the OFF/ACC portion of the ignition switch to exit programming.
- Remove the scan tool.
- Operate the active portion of each key fob in order to finalize the programming sequence and verify correct system operation.
