Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Programming Transmitters
Entering a specific button sequence on Driver Information Center (DIC) initiates Remote Function Actuation (RFA) programming. Pressing transmitter LOCK and UNLOCK button programs up to 3 transmitters. Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) indicates when programming sequence is complete. Remote control door lock receiver memory retains current access codes if a programming sequence is interrupted or battery is disconnected. Perform the following steps:
- Turn ignition switch on. Press Driver Information Center (DIC) RESET button to clear any Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) warning messages. Press OPTIONS button on DIC until IPC display is blank.
- Press and hold RESET button for 2 seconds. Press OPTIONS button until FOB TRAINING message is displayed then press RESET button only once to begin programming sequence.
- DIC will display HOLD LK + UNLK 1ST FOB. Simultaneously press and hold LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on first transmitter for 15 seconds. IPC will indicate FOB LEARNED when transmitter is programmed and prompt for next transmitter. Repeat this step for each additional transmitter.
