Keyless Entry Transmitter: Testing and Inspection

The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter(s) can be programmed with the use of the DRB III scan tool, or by the customer.

Programming Transmitter With The DRB III Scan Tool
For procedures on programming the transmitter(s) with the DRB III scan tool, refer to the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures.

Programming By Customer
For a customer to be able to program RKE transmitters themselves, at least one RKE transmitter must be programmed already. This procedure is to add additional transmitters. If all transmitters are lost, the DRB III scan tool must be used to program the new transmitter(s).

Press the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously of a transmitter. Then release both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons, and press any button on the transmitter. The BCM will chime as each fob is learned.

To exit program mode, turn OFF ignition or wait 32 seconds. The BCM will chime again.
