Models Built Prior To 9/97

To program (or re-program) transmitter(s) into the remote/keyless entry module, perform the following steps:

  1. Ensure anti-theft system is not armed or triggered. Turn ignition switch from OFF to RUN positions or from OFF to ACC positions 5 times within 10 seconds, ending in RUN or ACC position. All doors should lock then unlock to confirm that program mode has been entered.
  2. Press any button on transmitter. All doors will lock and unlock to verify remote transmitter has been programmed. Repeat this step to program additional transmitters. When finished programming all transmitters, turn ignition off. All doors should lock then unlock to confirm completion of programming. Check operation.

NOTE: If doors do not respond, press button again (3 times maximum) with same transmitter. If doors still won't lock, go to PRELIMINARY PROCEDURE  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
NOTE: The remote/keyless entry module erases all previous transmitters from memory when the transmitters are programmed or re-programmed. The remote/keyless entry module can store up to four transmitters in memory.
