Each transmitter has a unique Vehicle Access Code (VAC) that changes every
5 seconds. If a transmitter or receiver is replaced, each transmitter must
be programmed to the vehicle's receiver. Entering a specific button sequence on
the DIC, up to 3 transmitters can be programmed into the receiver. After programming
the transmitters to the vehicle, the receiver will update this code every 5 seconds
in order to match the code programmed in the transmitter.
The transmitter may not communicate or become out of synchronization with the
receiver if any of the following situations occurs:
• | The transmitter battery is disconnected. |
• | The vehicle battery is disconnected. |
• | The transmitter and the vehicle are separated for 2 weeks or more. |
• | The receiver is disconnected. |
Perform the synchronizing procedure if the transmitter does not communicate
or becomes out of synchronization with the receiver. If the transmitter and/or
receiver are replaced, preform the following programming procedure:
Programming Transmitters
- Turn the ignition to ON.
- Turn the radio to OFF.
- Press the RESET button on the driver information center (DIC) in order
to clear any IPC warning messages.
- Press and release the OPTIONS button on the DIC to scroll through the
display options until the IPC display is blank.
- Press and hold the RESET button for 3 seconds.
- Press the OPTIONS button until FOB TRAINING message is displayed.
Important: If the FOB TRAINING message cannot be display,
check if the BCM is configured with the correct RPO codes.
- Press the RESET button in order to begin the programming sequence. The
message HOLD LK + UNLK 1ST FOB will be displayed.
- Simultaneously press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the first
transmitter for 15 seconds. The IPC will indicate when that transmitter
is programmed and when to proceed to the next. Repeat this procedure for each additional
transmitter or press the OPTIONS button to exit.
Programming Cancellation
The receiver will cancel the programming sequence if any of the following conditions
occur:
• | The program mode is exited through the DIC. |
• | The ignition is turned to OFF. |
• | The three transmitters have been programmed. |
• | The RFA system has been in the program mode for longer than 2 minutes
and no transmitters have been learned. |
If the program mode is cancelled with less than 3 codes stored, the receiver
will only accept the codes just stored. If the program mode is cancelled before
any code is stored, the codes still remain valid.
The receiver retains all current access codes in memory if either of the following
conditions occur:
• | A programming sequence is interrupted. |
• | The battery is disconnected. |
Synchronizing Transmitters
Preform the following procedure if a transmitter cannot communicate or becomes
out of synchronization with the receiver:
- Move a programmed transmitter within range.
- Press the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter simultaneously for
7 seconds.
- The horn will chirp once when the transmitter is synchronized. Repeat
this procedure for each additional transmitter if needed.
