Unable To Program Remote Transmitter

  1. Ensure shorting pin is removed from program connector. Try another remote transmitter. If no other remote transmitter is available, go to next step. If other remote transmitter operates, replace original remote transmitter, then retest system. If other remote transmitter does not operate, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition off. Disconnect door lock control module connectors C335 and C336. Measure resistance between ground and door lock control module connector C335 terminal No. 10. See Figure . If resistance is greater than 10 k/ohms, go to next step. If resistance is less than 10 k/ohms, repair short to ground in White/Yellow wire, then retest system.
  3. Measure voltage between ground and door lock control module connector C335 terminal No. 10. If voltage is not present, go to next step. If voltage is present, repair short to voltage in White/Yellow wire, then retest system.
  4. Reconnect all door lock control module connectors. Measure voltage by backprobing door lock control module connector C335 terminal No. 10 and ground. If voltage is between 5-9 volts, go to next step. If voltage is less than 5 volts, or more than 9 volts, replace door lock control module, then retest system.
  5. Measure voltage between ground and program connector White/Yellow wire terminal. If voltage is between 5-9 volts, go to next step. If voltage is less than 5 volts, or more than 9 volts, repair open in White/Yellow wire, then retest system.
  6. Measure resistance between ground and program connector Black wire terminal. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open in Black wire, then retest system.
  7. Turn ignition on. Insert shorting pin into program connector. If all doors lock and unlock, go to next step. If all doors do not lock and unlock, return to step 2).
  8. Press any button on remote transmitter (may have to press button more than once). Repeat sequence for additional remote transmitter(s). If all doors lock and unlock using any remote transmitter, go to next step. If all doors do not lock and unlock using any remote transmitter, replace remote transmitter batteries. If remote transmitter still does not operate, replace door lock control module, then retest system.
  9. Turn ignition off. Remove shorting pin from program connector. If all doors lock and unlock, go to DOOR LOCKS DO NOT OPERATE USING REMOTE TRANSMITTER  test. If all doors do not lock and unlock, replace door lock control module, then retest system.
