1999 Jeep Cherokee 2WD L4-2.5L VIN PSECTION Remote Keyless Entry Programming
The optional Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system for this vehicle has a customer programmable horn chirp feature. The horn chirp is requested by the RKE receiver through a hard-wired circuit to the horn relay, whenever a valid Lock message is received from a programmed RKE radio transmitter.
The purpose of the horn chirp is to provide the vehicle operator with an audible verification that the Lock request has been received by the RKE receiver. However, for any number of reasons, some customers may prefer that this feature be disabled. This RKE system allows them that option.
To program the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) receiver so that the horn chirp feature is disabled, proceed as follows:
1. while within the reception range of the RKE receiver, press and hold the Lock button of a programmed RKE transmitter depressed for five to ten seconds.
2. while holding the RKE transmitter Lock button depressed, press and release the RKE transmitter Unlock button.
3. The RKE horn chirp feature is now disabled.
Repeating the preceding steps will again enable the RKE horn chirp feature.
