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.
Transmitter PROGRAMING
Each transmitter has a recognition code. Recognition codes must be registered to a vehicle receiver module. Only 4 transmitter recognition codes can be registered to a vehicle receiver module. When 4 transmitters are currently programmed, other transmitters may still be added by erasing previously registered transmitter codes. Registered transmitter codes are erased in the order in which they were programmed, starting with the first (oldest) known registered code.
Four different programming modes are available when programming transmitter recognition codes. Programming modes allow for a transmitter to be added, erasing and rewriting all transmitter recognition codes, confirming the number of transmitter codes currently registered or to prohibit remote transmitter operation and disable wireless door lock control system. Prior to programming any transmitters, review all programming modes available:
- Add Mode
Allows new transmitters to be added to a vehicle, and retains previously registered transmitters. Use this mode when adding an additional transmitter to a vehicle (not to exceed 4 transmitters). - Rewrite Mode
Erases all previously registered transmitter codes and allows only new recognition codes to be programmed for all transmitters. - Confirmation Mode
Confirmation mode is used to determine and confirm the number of registered transmitter codes currently programmed. - Prohibition Mode
Prohibition mode erases all previously registered transmitter codes and cancels wireless door lock control receiver function.
