1999 Jeep Cherokee 2WD L4-2.5L VIN PSECTION RKE Programming
Programming a transmitter can be accomplished using either the DRB III or the MDS machine. Using the DRB III select Theft Alarm (even though Vehicle Theft Security System is not available for this vehicle) then Miscellaneous then Programming RKE. Select a position 1 - 4. The locks will cycle to verify you are in programming mode. Press the unlock button on the transmitter. The locks will cycle again to verify programming has taken place. When you program to a position, that code will overwrite the code that was in that position and because you have no way of knowing if a valid code was there or not, it is recommended that whenever it is necessary to program a transmitter, all transmitters that are to be used with that vehicle should be programmed at that time. The 1999 XJ will have 2 RKE transmitters.
