Transmitter Programming
NOTE:
The transmitter programing procedure should be performed when any of the following conditions exist. The RKE programming connector (BLK/WHT wire) is grounded (CKT 1455), the RCDLR is replaced, a keyless remote transmitter is replaced, or a second (up to a total of 4) keyless remote transmitter is added.
NOTE:
If the vehicle has more than one keyless entry transmitter, ensure that all of the keyless entry transmitters are programmed during the same programming sequence. Any keyless entry transmitters that are not programmed will not work correctly.
Complete the following steps if RKE transmitter does not operate, or if standing closer to vehicle is required to operate transmitter:
- Determine if battery requires replacement.
- Determine if distance is too far from vehicle. Stand closer during rainy or snowy weather.
- Determine if other vehicles or objects are blocking signal. Take a few steps to left or right.
- Open the rear compartment lid. Pull aside the right side compartment trim in order to gain access. See REAR COMPARTMENT RIGHT SIDE TRIM under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Use a jumper wire with alligator clips in order to ground the RKE programming connector. See Fig 1 .The door locks will lock and unlock. This action indicates that the RCDLR has entered the keyless entry transmitter programming mode.
- While the programming connector is still grounded, program each of the keyless entry transmitters, one at a time. Press and hold the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously on the first keyless entry transmitter. Hold the buttons for 10 seconds. The door locks will lock and unlock. This action indicates that the keyless entry transmitter has been programmed.
- Repeat step 2 for the remaining keyless entry transmitters. You may program as many as 4 keyless entry transmitters.
- Remove the jumper wire from the RKE programming connector terminal. Verify that the keyless entry transmitters operate correctly. Install the right side rear compartment trim. See REAR COMPARTMENT RIGHT SIDE TRIM under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Close the rear compartment lid.
