Adding Transmitters (With SPS)

NOTE:
  • This procedure may be used with or without existing learned transmitters being present.
  • This procedure will take more than 15 minutes to complete.
  • A total of eight transmitters can be learned to a single vehicle.
  • This procedure will only learn the vehicle transmitter information. This procedure will not learn any immobilizer information between the body control module (BCM) and engine control module (ECM).
  • If the battery voltage is low, charge the battery before continuing with the procedure.
  1. Connect a scan tool to the vehicle and access SPS.
  2. Ensure that all power consuming devices are turned OFF on the vehicle.
  3. Select the SPS application and follow the on-screen instructions.
  4. Select Reprogram ECU.
  5. Select IMMO Immobilizer Learn - Setup.
  6. Select the Program Transponder or Remote Key (Add) function.
  7. Follow the on-screen instructions.
    NOTE:
    • At multiple times during the learn procedure, SPS will instruct you to turn the ignition to the run position. Make sure the vehicle is actually in the run mode before continuing on the SPS terminal. If the igniting is not in the run mode, the learn procedure will fail. To verify the vehicle is in Run mode, verify the green LED is illuminated on the ignition mode switch.
      NOTE: The transmitter pocket is located inside the center console towards the rear. If a large keyring prevents the transmitter from being placed flat in the pocket, remove the keyring and place the transmitter in the pocket. Failure to fully place the transmitter in the pocket will result in an inability to program.
  8. After programming all transmitters, Programming Complete, is displayed.
  9. Press and hold the ignition mode switch for 15 seconds.
  10. Press the lock and unlock button on each transmitter that was programmed. This will awaken each transmitter and allow passive and active keyless entry functions to be established.
  11. With a scan tool, clear any DTCs.
  12. Verify each transmitter that was programmed is operating properly. Operate each of the keyless entry functions using the buttons on the transmitter and then start the vehicle. When verifying operation, make sure that no other transmitters are near the vehicle.
