Remote Transmitter

NOTE: For additional information on remote transmitter programming and trouble shooting, see REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE TIPS bulletin (Ford Bulletin No. 97-24-13) in TSB.

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.

To program (or re-program) transmitter(s) into the remote/keyless entry module, perform the following steps:

Verify battery is fully charged and anti-theft system is not armed or triggered (if equipped). Turn ignition switch from OFF to RUN positions or from OFF to ACC positions 8 times within 10 seconds, ending in RUN or ACC position. All doors should lock then unlock to confirm that program mode has been entered.
Press any button on transmitter. All doors will lock and unlock to verify remote transmitter has been programmed. Repeat this step to program additional transmitters. When finished programming all transmitters, turn ignition off. All doors should lock then unlock to confirm completion of programming. Check operation.

NOTE: If system will not program, perform TEST D: LOCKS INOPERATIVE FROM REMOTE TRANSMITTER under DIAGNOSTIC TESTING.
