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.
Circuit/System Verification
- Verify all available keyless entry transmitters are correct for the vehicle. This can be accomplished by comparing the part number that is laser etched on the transmitter to the part number listed in the parts catalog.NOTE:
On some model year vehicles two learned keys are required to add additional keys. If only one learned key is used, this DTC will set. If only one learned key is available then Replacing Keys must be performed.
- If a transmitter is not correct
Replace the transmitter
- Go to next step: If all transmitters are correct
- If a transmitter is not correct

- Perform the Transmitter Programming procedure. Refer to Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter Learn (with BTM) .
- Verify the K9 Body Control Module learns the vehicle key and exits learn mode. The scan tool Master Keys Learned parameter should increment to 1.
- If the K9 Body Control Module does not exit learn mode after the programming attempt
Replace the K9 Body Control Module
- Go to next step: If the K9 Body Control Module exits learn mode after the programming attempt
