Keyless Entry: Service and Repair

The electronic door lock control processors erase all previous transmitters from memory when the transmitters are programmed or re-programmed.

NOTE: The remote entry module can store up to four transmitters in memory.

When troubleshooting the electronic door lock control system, it is essential that the customer leave at least one transmitter with the vehicle.

If the customer has purchased additional transmitters or lost a transmitter, or if the transmitter must be re-programmed into the processor, all the customer's transmitters must be available for reprogramming at the same time.

To program (or re-program) transmitter(s) into the electronic door lock control, perform the following steps:

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON or ON/ACC position and short the two terminals of the program connector (J2), a two-pin connector located below the driver's side of the instrument panel at the base of the steering column. All doors should lock and then unlock.
2. Press any button on each transmitter, (one at a time). All doors should lock and then unlock. If the door locks do not respond, press the button again (up to three times maximum with the same transmitter). If the door locks still fail to respond, go to PINPOINT TEST D.
3. Repeat Step 2 to program additional transmitters into the control module (up to four transmitters maximum).
4. Turn ignition switch off. All doors should lock and then unlock.
5. Make sure the short has been removed from the program connector J2.
