TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING

NOTE: The remote keyless entry system is equipped with 2 transmitters, having 2 unique vehicle access codes programmed into the wireless door lock ECU.

MODES OF REGISTRATION (PROGRAMMING the Remote)

There are 4 registration modes:

  • Add Mode

    Adds a transmitter (remote) without erasing existing transmitter codes. Four transmitter codes can be registered at one time. If number of registered codes exceeds 4, previously registered codes are erased in order, starting with first registered code.
  • Rewrite Mode

    Erases all previousLy registered transmitter codes and reprogram new transmitters.
  • Confirmation Mode

    Informs user of number of existing transmitter codes already programmed in system.
  • Prohibition Mode

    Erases all existing registered transmitter codes and cancels wireless door lock operation. Use this function if transmitter is lost or stolen.

REGISTRATION OF RECOGNITION CODE

  1. To begin programming, remove key from ignition switch. Ensure driver's door is open and unlocked, and all other doors are closed. Insert key into ignition switch, and then remove it.
  2. Complete the following in 40 seconds or less: press door lock switch (the one that controls all the locks) to LOCK position, and then within one second, press door lock switch to UNLOCK position. Repeat procedure continuously until door locks have been locked and unlocked 5 times. Close, and then open driver's door.
  3. Complete the following in 40 seconds or less: repeat procedure in step 2), except for closing and opening driver's door.

    Insert key into ignition switch. To enter desired mode, turn ignition switch to ON position and back to LOCK position (one cycle), within one second, the specified number of times. See REGISTRATION MODE SELECTION table below. Remove key from ignition switch. Registration of confirmation code is complete after door locks cycle. Be sure to continue as below.

    REGISTRATION MODE SELECTION

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Mode - - - No. Of Ignition Switch Cycles
    Add = 1
    Rewrite = 2
    Confirmation = 3
    Prohibition = 5
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  4. If any mode, other than confirmation mode is selected, go to next step. If confirmation mode was selected, door locks will cycle 0-4 times depending on how many transmitter codes are stored in ECU. Example: two stored codes equals 2 door lock/unlock cycles.
  5. Complete the following in 40 seconds or less: if add mode, rewrite mode or prohibition mode is selected, to confirm proper initiation, door locks will automatically cycle one time for add mode (at the end of step 3), 2 times for rewritemode and 5 times for prohibition mode. Press transmitter LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously for at least 1.5 seconds, and then within 3 seconds, press any transmitter button for at least one second.
  6. If within 3 seconds, door locks cycle one time, new transmitter code has been successfully accepted. Go to next step. If door locks cycle 2 times, new transmitter code was not accepted. To program an additional transmitter or to make a second attempt, return to step 5) within 40 seconds.
  7. Registration of recognition codes is complete under any of the following conditions:
    * Forty seconds has elapsed since wireless door lock ECU has responded.
    * Driver's door is closed.
    * Key is inserted into ignition key cylinder.
    * Four recognition codes are registered at one time.
