Method 1 - Adding, Replacing, or Invalidating Transmitters (Known Transmitter Available)
This procedure will add or replace transmitters. This procedure requires that you have two known transmitters available, a replacement transmitter, and a scan tool.
Method 1 is also used for the initial programming of transmitters to a new replacement RCDLR. In this instance, the new RCDLR comes ready to learn the first transmitters introduced. Perform the learn procedure as outlined, with the exception that the new RCDLR does not require a known transmitter be placed within the interior of the vehicle.
This procedure is not available when the maximum number of transmitters (4) have been programmed. If 4 transmitters are programmed to this RCDLR and this method is attempted, the driver information center (DIC) will display MAXIMUM # ELECTRONIC KEYS LEARNED and the programming procedure will exit. Method 2 must be used in this instance.
- The vehicle must be OFF.
- Place two known transmitters and any new transmitter(s) to be programmed in the cupholder inside the vehicle. DO NOT PLACE ANY TRANSMITTERS IN THE CONSOLE POCKET AT THIS TIME.
- Use scan tool to access the following:
- Vehicle Control Systems
- Computer/Integrating Systems
- Module Setup
- Remote Control Door Lock Receiver
- Program Key Fobs
- Select the transmitter position you wish to program:
- Invalidate All transmitters
- Next Available Slot
- Program Key Fob 1
- Program Key Fob 2
- Program Key Fob 3
- Program Key Fob 4
NOTE:Selecting Invalidate All transmitters will erase any known transmitters and will cause the DIC to prompt READY FOR transmitter 1, requiring all transmitters to be relearned to the vehicle.
- After making the selection, a beep should be heard. If a beep is not heard or the DIC displays ELECTRONIC KEY NOT DETECTED, a valid transmitter was not found. Ensure that a valid transmitter has been placed in the cupholder and repeat step 4.
- The scan tool will be displaying the current transmitter programming status. Press the PROGRAM soft key on the scan tool to continue with programming. The DIC should respond by displaying: READY TO LEARN ELECTRONIC KEY #X (X = 1, 2, 3 or 4, depending on the selected position).
- With the DIC displaying the correct transmitter position that is to be programmed, place the new/replacement transmitter in the console pocket with the buttons facing forward and keychain provision facing up.
- A beep will occur once the transmitter has been learned.
- Depending on the option chosen above, the DIC may display a prompt asking that another transmitter be programmed. If programming additional transmitters, repeat steps 6 and 7, or press the EXIT soft key on the scan tool.
- Press and hold the transmitter trunk release or liftgate release button for one second on each transmitter that was programmed to finalize the programming and confirm system operation. Multiple button presses may be required before the trunk or liftgate responds.
Newly programmed transmitters will not function until program mode has been exited (DIC is blank). This must be done prior to pressing the trunk release button in the next step.
