Connect scan tool and follow on-screen instructions. Select THEFT ALARM, MISCELLANEOUS, then PROGRAMMING RKE. Select a position between 1 and 4. Power locks will cycle to indicate programming mode has been entered. Press unlock button on transmitter. Power locks will cycle again to indicate programming of that transmitter has been completed. Transmitters will go out of synchronization when batteries are dead or replaced, or if any button is pressed more than 128 times with transmitter out of operating range.
