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 Transmitter Programming
The keyless entry system is equipped with a special code learning feature that allows you to program new transmitter codes into the system or to delete old ones. Up to 4 transmitters can be programmed. It is recommended that a dealer program transmitters. The system can learn up to 4 unique transmitter codes. The 4 transmitter codes may be the same or different.
To enter the programming mode:
- Disarm the security system (if equipped). Open driver's door. Sit on the driver's seat.
- Close driver's door and all other doors, rear gate and trunk lid.
- Place the ignition key into ignition switch and cycle the switch from LOCK to ON 10 times within 15 seconds. Be sure to stop at the LOCK position. See Fig 1
.NOTE: The horn will chirp once to indicate that the system has entered the programming mode. Do not start the engine at this time.
