NOTE:
Every new non-coded remote control key MUST BE coded for the central locking control module. A maximum of 4 remote control keys may be coded. Ignition must be turned off between each coding procedure.
- Using a different key, turn ignition on. Using scan tool, check display group 007 to see how many keys have been programmed. See FUNCTION MODE 08: READING MEASURED VALUE BLOCKΒ
under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM for displaying value block information. Field 3 of display group 007 (1100 = 2 remote transmitters) shows how many keys are programed and in which positions. See Fig 1
. In this figure, a key has been programmed in position 1 and 2. The number one indicates a key has been programmed in that position, and the number zero indicates an open position for programming a new key.NOTE: New keys MUST be programmed in an open position, or key previously programmed in that position will no longer operate central locking system.
- Lock vehicle from outside driver's door using key to be programmed. Within 5 seconds, press OPEN on remote control key 3 times, or until open memory location is reached. Each time a button is pressed, emergency flashers will light, and memory location for programming will advance. Wait 5 seconds.
- Press OPEN again. Vehicle will unlock. Turn ignition off and remove ignition key. Check remote control key operation. Check display group 007 again. If a total of 3 keys are programmed, 1110 is displayed.
