Keyless Entry Transmitter: Adjustments
PROGRAMMING REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER(S)

PROGRAMMING BY CUSTOMER
For a customer to be able to program RKE transmitters themselves, at least one RKE transmitter must be programmed already. This procedure is to add additional transmitters. If all transmitters are lost, the DRB III scan tool must be used to program the new transmitter(s).
Transmitter programming by the customer is done by continually pressing the unlock button, on a programmed fob, for a minimum of 4 seconds to a maximum of 10 seconds with the ignition switch ON. Within the 4-10 second range, the panic button is depressed. Both buttons are then released.
The BCM will chime. Them press any button on each fob to be programmed. The BCM will chime as each fob is learned. To exit program mode, turn off ignition or wait 32 seconds. The BCM will chime again.
