Remote Transmitter

NOTE: When programing remote transmitters, all transmitters MUST BE programmed at the same time(maximum of 4 original and/or new transmitters). Failure to program all transmitters at the same time will render all other transmitters inoperative.
NOTE: Factory code is printed on owner's wallet card, located in glove compartment and on Generic Electronic Module (GEM).
  1. Insert a key in ignition switch and turn from LOCK to RUN position 8 times in rapid succession (within 10 seconds) ending in RUN position. Doors will lock/unlock to confirm that programming mode has been entered.
  2. Within 20 seconds, program a remote transmitter by pressing any button on a transmitter. Doors will lock/unlock to confirm that remote transmitter has been programmed. (If more than 20 seconds pass before pressing a remote transmitter button, programming mode will exit and procedure will have to be repeated).
  3. Repeat previous step to program additional remote transmitters. Doors will lock/unlock to confirm that each remote transmitter has been programmed.
  4. After remote transmitters have been programmed, turn ignition switch to LOCK position or wait 20 seconds. Again, doors will lock/unlock to confirm programming has been completed.
