Transmitter Programming
The Remote Keyless Entry transmitters can be programmed with the use of the DRB III(R) scan tool or by the customer.
DRB III(R) Programming
When using the DRB III(R) scan tool, select:
1. "Theft Alarm"
2. "VTSS"
3. "Miscellaneous"
and then the desired function.
Customer Programming
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(R) scan tool must be used to program the new transmitters.

1. With the ignition switch in RUN position, press and hold the transmitter Unlock button for a minimum of 4 seconds to a maximum of 10 seconds.
2. Within the 4-10 second range, depress the transmitter Lock button. A chime will be heard to indicate successful toggle, at which time the buttons may be released.
3. Turn the ignition switch off to exist transmitter programming mode.
