Remote Keyless Entry System: Programming: Transmitter

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 battery is fully charged and anti-theft system is not armed or triggered (if equipped). Turn ignition switch off and on 8 times within 10 seconds, ending in ON position, or turn ignition switch from off to start 4 times within 10 seconds, ending in ON position. If programming mode is successfully entered, the RAP module will lock and unlock all doors (Mexico built vehicles anti-theft systems will chirp horn).
  2. Press any button on transmitter. Door locks will lock and unlock to acknowledge successful programming (Mexico built vehicles anti-theft systems will chirp horn). Repeat this step to program additional transmitters. When finished programming all transmitters, turn ignition off.
