Transmitter Programming

NOTE: A maximum of 4 transmitters can be programmed for each Remote Anti-Theft Personality (RAP) module. Programming must be done at the same time for all transmitters.
  1. Verify that vehicle battery is fully charged and anti-theft system is not armed or triggered. Turn ignition switch off and on 5 times within 10 seconds, ending in ON position. If programming mode is successfully entered, the RAP module will lock and unlock all doors.
  2. Press any button on transmitter. Door locks will lock and unlock to acknowledge successful programming. Repeat this step to program additional transmitters. When finished programming all transmitters, turn ignition off.
