Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter Programming

NOTE: The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter of the Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) is programmed automatically during the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) programming. For information on programming the IKT keys, refer to the appropriate key programming procedure in Section 419-01B . This procedure is only for programming conventional keyfobs to IKT -equipped vehicles.

NOTE: All RKE transmitters must be programmed at the same time.

NOTE: Do not apply the brake pedal during this sequencing. Doing so ends the sequence and the transmitters are not programmed.

1. Electronically unlock the door locks using the door lock control switch.

2. Cycle the ignition switch from OFF to RUN 8 times in rapid succession (within 10 seconds), with the eighth turn ending in RUN. If the module successfully enters program mode, it locks and then unlocks all the doors.

3. NOTE: If no action is taken within 20 seconds after a transmitter has been programmed, the programming sequence ends (the doors lock and unlock to confirm that programming is complete).

   Within 20 seconds, press any button on the RKE transmitter to be programmed. The doors lock and then unlock to confirm that each RKE transmitter is programmed. Repeat this step for each RKE transmitter.

4. Exiting the programming mode is accomplished if:
   • the key transitions to OFF.
   • twenty seconds have passed since entering programming mode or since the last RKE transmitter was programmed.
   • the maximum number (4) of RKE transmitters have been programmed.

5. Check the operation of the transmitter. If the door locks do not respond for the programmed RKE transmitter(s), wait several seconds and press the button again. If the door locks still fail to respond, refer to the Symptom Chart in Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems . (Make sure that no more than the maximum number of RKE transmitters are attempted to be programmed.)
