The remote keyless entry system allows for the use of as many as five transmitters for each vehicle. Replacement remote keyless entry system transmitters must be first programmed to the specific vehicle using the scan tool.
This process is completed using serial data communications between the scan tool and the remote keyless entry control unit and is the only method available for programming transmitters.
Important: All transmitters that are to be recognized by the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) must be programmed in a single programming sequence. If the system is placed in program mode it will erase all previously programmed transmitters upon the receipt of the programming signal from the first transmitter. Up to five transmitters can be programmed. Do not operate or program the transmitters in the vicinity of other vehicles that are in the keyless entry program mode. This prevents the programming of the transmitters to the incorrect vehicle.
Important: Make sure that the doors and trunk/rear hatch are closed before beginning the programming procedure.
Important: A slight delay may occur and PLEASE WAIT may be displayed before the next screen appears.
Important: Ensure that transmitters from other vehicles in the immediate area are not activated during this procedure.
Important: A maximum of 4 transmitters may be programmed to a vehicle.
The remote control door lock receiver leaves the programming mode automatically and switches to the normal operating mode when either of the following conditions occur:
• | The scan tool is disconnected from the DLC. |
• | Five passwords are recorded in the remote control door lock receiver. |

Up to five transmitters can be programmed. Do not operate or program the transmitters in the vicinity of other vehicles that are in the keyless entry program mode. This prevents the programming of the transmitters to the incorrect vehicle.
Important: Turn the ignition to ON before installing in the scan tool. Failure to connect in this procedure may cause communication errors and the programming procedure will not complete. Any keys that are not programmed at this time will no longer function.
