RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) Transmitter

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter Programming

NOTE: A maximum of 8 Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters can be programmed to the vehicle. Programming must be done at the same time for all the RKE transmitters.

NOTE: This procedure is for programming the RKE transmitter portion of the Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT). The RKE transmitter for an Intelligent Access (IA) key is programmed automatically during key programming. Refer to the key programming procedures in Anti-Theft - Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment.

NOTE: There is an audible feedback chime heard indicating that the programming mode for the RKE transmitter portion of the Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) has been initiated. The chime is also heard for every key that is programmed and when programming of a RKE transmitter was successful. The chime is not heard if the vehicle has not been transitioned from transport to NORMAL mode.

1. Close all doors.

2. Buckle the front safety belts.

3. Use the door lock control switch to electronically unlock all door locks.

4. Turn the ignition from the OFF to RUN position 4 times in rapid succession (within 6 seconds), with the fourth turn ending in OFF.

5. NOTE: If no action is taken within 10 seconds after a transmitter has been programmed, the programming sequence ends.

Within 10 seconds, press any button on the RKE transmitter to be programmed. After the first RKE transmitter is programmed, press a button on each subsequent RKE transmitter to be programmed (each within 10 seconds of each other).

6. NOTE: If programming mode is exited and no key is learned, all keys (if one or two were programmed) are erased for RKE transmitter operation.

Exiting the programming mode is accomplished if one of the following occurs:

- The key transitions to the RUN position.

- 10 seconds have passed since entering programming mode or since the last RKE transmitter was programmed.

- The maximum number (8) of RKE transmitters have been programmed.

7. Check the operation of the transmitter. If the door locks do not respond for the programmed RKE transmitter(s), wait several seconds and press the button again. If the door locks still fail to respond, refer to Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems Doors, Hood and Trunk.
