Transmitter Synchronization

Resynchronization may be necessary due to security methods used by Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system. Transmitters do not send the same signal twice. Receiver will not respond to a signal it has been sent previously, preventing recording and playback of transmitter signal. Resynchronization will be necessary if:

To resynchronize transmitter to receiver, stand within 5 feet of vehicle, depress and hold TRUNK button and, within one second, depress and hold LOCK button. Continue to hold LOCK and TRUNK buttons on transmitter for 7 seconds, then release. Transmitter should now function properly.
