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.
Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter
All Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters (limit of 4) must be programmed at the same time. To program all RKE transmitters, cycle ignition switch from LOCK to ON position 8 times within 10 seconds, ending in ON position, or cycle ignition switch from LOCK to START position 4 times in 10 seconds, ending in ON position. If Remote Anti-Theft Personality (RAP) module successfully enters program mode, doors will lock and unlock. After doors lock and unlock, press any button on each RKE transmitter. With each button press on RKE transmitters, door locks will lock and unlock to confirm programming. Once all RKE transmitters have been programmed, turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Door locks will lock and unlock one last time to confirm completion of programming.
