STANDARD PROCEDURE - RKE TRANSMITTER PROGRAMING
New Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters can be programed using the DRB IIIt scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual. The DRB IIIt scan tool can provide confirmation that the PCI data bus is functional, and that all of the electronic modules are sending and receiving the proper messages on the PCI data bus.
The following procedure can be used as long as one programmed transmitter is available:
NOTE: When entering program mode using that programmed fob, ALL currently programmed fobs will be erased and they will have to be reprogrammed for the vehicle. If program mode is entered and no action is performed, the previously programmed fobs will continue to function.
(1) Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
(2) Fasten the seat belt (this will cancel the seat belt chime). Turn the ignition to the ON position.
(3) Press and hold the UNLOCK button on a programmed transmitter for 4 seconds. Within 6 seconds with the UNLOCK button still depressed, press the PANIC button. When a single chime is heard, release both buttons.The chime indicates the system is in program mode.
(4) Press and release both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously on a fob to be programmed. A single chime will be heard, this indicates the fob has been recognized.
(5) Within 4 seconds of hearing the chime, press and release the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the fob being programmed A single chime will be heard, this indicates the fob has been programmed.
(6) Repeat steps 4 and 5 for up to a total of 4 fobs.
(7) Turn the ignition OFF.
(8) Cycle the ignition or wait 60 seconds.
The vehicle will remain in program mode for up to 60 seconds from when the original chime (step 3) was heard. After 60 seconds, all programmed transmitters will function normally.
