Transmitter Programming

Vehicle can be programmed for up to 4 remote transmitters. If number of remote transmitters programmed exceeds 4, previously programmed remote transmitters will be erased, starting with first remote transmitter.

There are 3 modes within Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR):

  1. To enter programming modes, set following conditions:
    • Ignition switch in LOCK position and key out of ignition switch.
    • All doors closed except driver's side door.
    • All doors unlocked.
  2. Insert ignition key into ignition switch momentarily and remove it.
  3. Using switch in driver's side door, move switch from LOCK to UNLOCK 5 times at approximately one second intervals within 40 seconds.
  4. Close driver's side door, and then open it.
  5. Again, move switch from LOCK to UNLOCK 5 times at approximately one second intervals within 40 seconds.
  6. Insert ignition key into ignition switch.
  7. Turn ignition switch from RUN to LOCK position at approximately one second interval for 1-3 times according to desired mode.
    • One time for add mode.
    • Two times for rewrite mode.
    • Three times for confirmation mode.
  8. Remove ignition key from ignition switch.
    • If add or rewrite mode has been selected, doors will lock, then unlock once or twice at one second intervals, once for add mode or twice for rewrite mode.
    • If confirmation mode is selected, doors will lock, then unlock 0-4 times at 2 second intervals to inform technician or number of remote transmitters programmed.
  9. Press a remote transmitter button for 2 seconds. Doors will lock, then unlock once at a one second interval to inform technician that signal has been received from remote transmitter.
  10. Close driver's side door, then open it.
  11. Press a remote transmitter button for 2 seconds. Doors will lock, then unlock once at a one second interval to inform technician that signal has been received from remote transmitter.
    • If doors lock, then unlock once, remote transmitter programming has been completed. Go to step  9 to continue programming for additional remote transmitters.
    • If doors lock, then unlock twice, remote transmitter programming is not complete. Go to step  9 to begin remote transmitter programming again.

If any of the following conditions occur during programming, RCDLR will return to normal operation:
