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.
Synchronizing Transmitters
Each transmitter has a unique code that changes every 5 seconds. After programming transmitter to vehicle, the remote control door lock receiver will update this code every 5 seconds to match code programmed in transmitter. Transmitter may not communicate or become out of synchronization if one of the following conditions occur:
- Transmitter battery is disconnected.
- Vehicle battery is disconnected for longer than 3 days.
- Transmitter is separated from vehicle for 2 weeks or more.
- Receiver is disconnected.
Move a programmed transmitter within range. Press transmitter LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously for 7 seconds. Vehicle horn will chirp once when transmitters are synchronized. If this procedure does not restore lost transmitter operation, go to PROGRAMMING TRANSMITTERS .
