Note: The remote entry receiver module erases all previous transmitters from memory when the transmitters are programmed or reprogrammed. The remote entry receiver module can store up to four transmitters in memory.
To program (or reprogram) transmitter(s) into the remote entry receiver module, perform the following steps:
1. Turn key to the ON or ON/ACC position and momentarily short the two terminals of the program connector (C4) (a two-pin connector taped to the wire assembly connected to the remote entry receiver module, approximately 6 inches from the remote entry receiver module). All doors should lock then unlock. Remove shorting pin.
2. Press any button on transmitter. All doors should lock then unlock to verify that the transmitter has been programmed. If door locks do not respond, press button again (up to three times maximum with the same transmitter).
3. Repeat Step 2 to program additional transmitters into the remote entry receiver module (up to four transmitters maximum).
4. Key off. All doors should lock then unlock.
5. Check operation.
