Vehicle Access Code Programming

There are 4 modes of vehicle access code programming:

  1. To begin reprogramming, ensure key is not inserted in ignition switch. Ensure driver's door is open and unlocked, and all other doors are closed. Insert key in ignition switch, then remove it.
  2. Press door lock switch to LOCK, then within one second, press door lock switch to UNLOCK position. Repeat procedure continuously until door locks have been locked and unlocked 5 times. Close and open driver's door. This procedure must be carried out within 40 seconds.
  3. Repeat procedure in step  2 except for closing and opening driver's door. Insert key in ignition switch. To enter desired mode, turn ignition switch to ON position and back to LOCK (one cycle), within one second, the specified number of times. See MODE SELECTION  table. Remove key from ignition switch.
    MODE SELECTION

    Mode No. Of Ignition Switch Cycles
    Add Mode 1
    Rewrite Mode 2
    Confirmation Mode 3
    Erase Mode 5
  4. If any mode other than confirmation mode is selected, go to next step. If confirmation mode was selected, door locks will cycle to lock position 0-4 times depending on how many transmitter codes are stored in ECU (example: 2 stored codes = 2 door lock cycles). Registration of confirmation code completed. This procedure must be carried out within 20 seconds.
  5. If add mode, rewrite mode or erase mode is selected, to confirm proper initiation, door locks will automatically cycle one time for add mode, 2 times for rewrite mode and 5 times for erase mode. Press new transmitter button for at least one second. Again press any new transmitter button for at least one second. This procedure must be carried out within 20 seconds.
  6. Door locks should cycle once to confirm transmitter signal was received by ECU. This procedure must be carried out within 3 seconds.
  7. If door locks cycle once, new transmitter code has been successfully accepted. If door locks cycle 2 times, new transmitter code was not successfully accepted. To program another transmitter or make a second attempt at programming in a transmitter code, repeat steps  5 through  7 .
