Transmitter PROGRAMING

New Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters can be programed using the DRBIII(R) scan tool and the BODY DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - PT CRUISER article, if no functioning transmitter is available.

The following procedure can be used as long as one functioning transmitter is available:

  1. Insert the key into the ignition switch, and turn the ignition switch to the RUN position (without starting the vehicle).
  2. Using the RKE transmitter programmed to the RKE module, press and continuously hold down the UNLOCK button for 4-10 seconds.
  3. Within the 4-10 second time range, continue to hold the UNLOCK button and press the PANIC button. Both buttons may then be released. Upon the PANIC button being depressed, the message for customer programming mode will be transmitted to the RKE module.
  4. A chime will be heard to verify that the customer programming mode has been entered.
  5. Press and release any button on each transmitter that is to be programmed to the RKE module, including any transmitters which were previously programmed to the RKE module (with a maximum of four possible). After each transmitter is successfully programmed, a chime will be heard to verify that successful programming of the transmitter has occurred.
  6. After thirty seconds, or upon the ignition switch being turned OFF, a chime will indicate that the RKE module has exited the programming mode.
