Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter Programming: Programming

NOTE: All RKE  transmitters must be programmed at the same time. Entering the programming mode erases all previously programmed RKE  transmitters (Integrated Keyhead Transmitters (IKTs) and key fobs). The PATS  portion of the programmed Integrated Keyhead Transmitters (IKTs) is unaffected.
  1. WARNING: Before beginning any service procedure, refer to SAFETY WARNINGS . Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

    Refer to: HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS .

  2. Use the door lock control switch to unlock the doors.
  3. Cycle the ignition from OFF to RUN to OFF 4 times (2013 model year and older) or 8 times (2014 model year and newer) in rapid succession (within 10 seconds), with the last turn ending in OFF. If the module successfully enters program mode, a chime sounds.
  4. NOTE: Programming mode ends when:
    • the ignition transitions ON.
    • 20 seconds elapse since entering programming mode or since the last RKE  transmitter was programmed (a chime sounds to confirm that programming is complete).

      Within 20 seconds, press and hold any button on the RKE  transmitter to be programmed until a chime sounds to confirm the RKE  transmitter is programmed. Repeat this step for each RKE  transmitter.

  5. Check the operation of the RKE  transmitters. If the door locks do not respond for the programmed RKE  transmitter (s), wait several seconds and press the button again. If the door locks still fail to respond, diagnose the RKE  transmitter(s).
