Transmitter Programming Tech 2

Important: All transmitters which 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 5 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.

1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Install the scan tool.
3. Select PROGRAMMING KEY FOBS from the BODY menu.
4. Follow the scan tool instruction with each key until all keys are programmed.
5. Turn the ignition to the LOCK position, disconnect the Tech 2 and test all the keys.
6. If any key does not function, refer to Keyless Entry Does Not Program .

For immobilizer programming, refer to Programming Additional Keys .

Transmitter Programming Theft

The remote keyless entry system allows for the use of as many as 5 transmitters for each vehicle. Replacement remote keyless entry system transmitters must first be programmed to specific vehicle using the scan tool.

The process is completed using serial data communication between the scan tool and the remote keyless entry control unit and is the only method available for programming transmitters.

Important: All transmitters for a specific vehicle must be programmed at the same time.

Important: Once the programming function of the remote keyless entry system is activated, any transmitter (existing or new) that is not programmed (or reprogrammed) during the programming procedure will no longer operate the remote keyless entry system of that vehicle.

Important: Ensure that the doors, hood and trunk/rear hatch are closed prior to starting the programming procedure.

1. Connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).
2. Turn the scan tool ON by pressing the POWER Button, then wait for the MAIN MENU screen to be displayed.
3. From the MAIN MENU screen, select Diagnostics by pressing #1 on the key pad.
4. From the MODEL YEAR screen, select the appropriate model year of the specific vehicle by either scrolling down to the year and pressing ENTER, or by pressing the respective item number on the key pad.
5. From the VEHICLE TYPE screen, select the specific vehicle model by either scrolling down to the model name and pressing ENTER, or by pressing the respective item number on the key pad.
6. From the SYSTEM SELECTION MENU screen, select Body by pressing #2 on the key pad.
7. From the BODY SELECTION MENU screen, select Coding by pressing #2 on the key pad.
8. From the CODY SELECTION MENU screen, select Coding by pressing #1 on the key pad.
9. From the SECRET NUMBER OF CODINGS screen, enter 4 zero's (0-0-0-0) in the 4 boxes labeled 1-2-3-4-.
10. From the CODING SYSTEM SELECT screen, select Keyless Entry by pressing #2 on the key pad.

Important: A slight delay may occur and PLEASE WAIT may be displayed before the next screen appears.

11. From the KEYLESS ENTRY CODING SYSTEM screen, select Coding Transmitter by pressing #1 on the key pad.
12. When directed by the scan tool, press any button on the first transmitter to be programmed.

Important: Ensure that transmitters from other vehicles in the immediate area are not activated during this procedure.

13. Continue programming transmitters when directed by the scan tool until all transmitters may be programmed to a vehicle.

Important: A maximum of 5 transmitters may be programmed to a vehicle.

14. Once all transmitters have been programmed, press the ESC button on the key pad. The display will confirm the number of transmitters programmed. If the number displayed does not match the number of transmitter programmed, repeat the procedure.
15. Turn the scan tool OFF by pressing the POWER button, then disconnect if from the data link connector (DLC).
16. Wait approximately 10 seconds, then test the operation of each programmed transmitter to ensure it operates properly.

The control module/receiver leaves the programming mode automatically and switches to the normal operating mode when either of the following conditions occurs:
