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.
Transmitter Programming (with RPO Y41 - North America and Asia): Notes
There are 3 methods for programming keyless entry transmitters. Up to 4 transmitters may be programmed to the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR). Each programmed transmitter is given a position of #1-#4 in the RCDLR memory.
A "known" transmitter is one that has already been programmed to the vehicle. It is very important that the transmitter which is to be programmed is NOT placed into the console transmitter pocket until the DIC correctly displays the transmitter number that you wish to program to.
