Transmitter Programming

NOTE: Before entering the programming mode, verify possession of all the transmitters you will be using on the vehicle. Once you program the transmitter, the memory erases. The other transmitters will not be functional until you program the transmitters again. You may program up to 4 transmitters.

Perform the following procedure when adding new transmitters or replacing failed transmitters.

  1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  2. Connect fused jumper wire between DLC terminals 8 (BLK/WHT) and 4 (BLK). See Fig 1 .
