Remote Transmitter Programming

NOTE: All keyless entry remote transmitters are programmable and must be set at the same time.
  1. Make sure that the anti-theft system is not armed or triggered.
  2. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN 8 times within 10 seconds, ending in RUN. When in program mode the locks will lock and then unlock all doors.
  3. Press any button on a keyless entry remote transmitter, and the doors will lock and then unlock all doors to confirm that the keyless entry remote transmitter is programed. All keyless entry remote transmitters must be programmed.
  4. If the door locks do not respond for any keyless entry remote transmitter, wait several seconds and press the button again. If the door locks still fail to respond, refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING .
  5. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, or wait up to 20 seconds after Step 2, to exit the program mode. If a keyless entry remote transmitter has been programed the doors will lock and unlock one last time to confirm.
