Method 3 - Service Programming System transmitter Programming
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This procedure is a 10-minute relearn procedure using the Techline Terminal with SPS software. Once the 10-minute timer has expired, the transmitters can be programmed to particular positions or all known transmitters can be erased. A scan tool, Techline Terminal, and a replacement transmitter are required to perform this procedure.
- Ignition ON, connect a scan tool to the vehicle in the pass-thru arrangement.
- Insure that all power consuming devices are turned OFF on the vehicle.
- On the Techline Terminal, select Service Programming System and follow the Techline Terminal on-screen instructions, using the Legacy Pass-Thru method. Select "VTD Vehicle Theft Deterrent Learn" under Component Replacement. Ensure that "Prepare RCDLR for transmitter programming" is used.
- At this point the scan tool must remain connected for the duration of the 10 minute relearn procedure.
- When the 10 minute relearn procedure has completed, turn the vehicle OFF.
- With the scan tool still connected, access the following:
- Vehicle Control Systems
- Computer/Integrating Systems
- Module Setup
- Remote Control Door Lock Receiver
- Program Key Fobs
- Select the transmitter position you wish to program:
- Invalidate All transmitters
- Next Available Slot
- Program Key Fob 1
- Program Key Fob 2
- Program Key Fob 3
- Program Key Fob 4
IMPORTANT: Selecting Invalidate All transmitters will erase any known transmitters and will cause the DIC to prompt READY FOR transmitter 1, requiring all transmitters to be relearned to the vehicle. - After making the selection, a beep should be heard. If a beep is not heard or the DIC displays ELECTRONIC KEY NOT DETECTED, a valid transmitter was not found. Ensure that a valid transmitter has been placed in the cupholder and repeat step 4.
- The scan tool will be displaying the current transmitter programming status. Press the PROGRAM soft key on the scan tool to continue with programming. The DIC should respond by displaying: READY TO LEARN ELECTRONIC KEY #X (X = 1, 2, 3 or 4, depending on the selected position).
- With the DIC displaying the correct transmitter position that is to be programmed, place the new/replacement transmitter in the console pocket with the buttons facing forward.
- A beep will occur once the transmitter has been learned.
- Depending on the option chosen above, the DIC may display a prompt asking that another transmitter be programmed. If programming additional transmitters, repeat steps 9 and 10, or press the EXIT soft key on the scan tool.
- Press the UNLOCK button on each transmitter that was programmed to finalize the programming and confirm system operation.
IMPORTANT:
Newly programmed transmitters will not function until program mode has been exited (DIC is blank). This must be done prior to pressing the UNLOCK button in the next step.
