Adding Transmitters (Without SPS)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  • Verify all mechanical keys operate correctly before beginning any programming procedures.
  • To initiate, this procedure requires that 1 learned transmitter be available.
  • A total of eight transmitters can be learned to a single vehicle.
  • This procedure adds transmitters only. The procedure does not erase previously learned transmitters.
  1. Place the recognized transmitter(s) in the vehicle cupholder.
  2. Insert the mechanical key of the new transmitter into the key lock cylinder located on the outside of the driver door and turn the key to the unlock position five times within ten seconds. The driver information center will display Ready For Remote #2, 3, 4, etc.
  3. Place the new transmitter into the transmitter pocket.
    NOTE: The transmitter pocket is located inside the center console storage area, near the front of the storage compartment. If a large keyring prevents the transmitter from being placed fully into the pocket, remove the keyring and place the transmitter in the pocket. Failure to lay the transmitter fully into the pocket may result in an inability to program.
  4. Press and release the ignition mode switch. When the transmitter is learned, the driver information center will indicate that it is ready to program the next transmitter.
  5. Remove the transmitter from the transmitter pocket and press the transmitter unlock button. To program additional transmitters, repeat Steps 3 through 5.
  6. When all additional transmitters are programmed, press and hold the ignition mode switch for 15 seconds to exit programming mode.
  7. Verify each transmitter and key is operating properly. Operate each of the keyless entry functions using the buttons on the transmitter. On vehicles with a keyed ignition switch, verify the mechanical key by starting the vehicle using the ignition switch. When verifying operation, make sure that no other transmitters are near the vehicle.
