Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter Programming

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter Programming

General Procedure

NOTE: The RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) transmitter of the IA (Intelligent Access) key or IKT (Integrated Keyhead Transmitter) is programmed automatically during the PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) programming. For information on programming the IA (Intelligent Access) keys, REFER to Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment or REFER to Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys. For information on programing the IKT (Integrated Keyhead Transmitter) keys, REFER to Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment or REFER to Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys. This procedure is only for programming conventional keyfobs to IKT (Integrated Keyhead Transmitter)-equipped vehicles.

NOTE: ONLY non- IKT (Integrated Keyhead Transmitter) transmitters can be added using this process.

NOTE: All RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) transmitters must be programmed at the same time.

NOTE: Do not apply the brake pedal during this sequencing, as doing so ends the sequence and the transmitters will not be programmed.

1. Electronically unlock the door locks using the door lock control switch.

2. Cycle the ignition switch from the OFF to the RUN position 8 times in rapid succession (within 10 seconds), with the eighth turn ending in RUN. If the module successfully enters program mode, it locks and then unlocks all the doors.

3. NOTE: If no action is taken within 20 seconds after a transmitter has been programmed, the programming sequence ends (the doors lock and unlock to confirm that programming is complete).
Within 20 seconds, press any button on the RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) transmitter to be programmed. The doors lock and then unlock to confirm that each RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) transmitter is programmed. Repeat this step for each RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) transmitter.

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

1. The key transitions to the OFF position.

2. Twenty seconds have passed since entering programming mode or since the last RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) transmitter was programmed.

3. The maximum number (4) of RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) transmitters have been programmed.

5. Check the operation of the transmitter. If the door locks do not respond for the programmed RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) transmitter(s), wait several seconds and press the button again. If the door locks still fail to respond, REFER to Diagnostic Routine I: The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter Is Inoperative Diagnostic Routine I (Make sure that no more than the maximum number of RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) transmitters are attempted to be programmed.)
