Keyless Entry: Service and Repair

To program (or reprogram) 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 momentarily short the two terminals of the program connector (C2), 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. 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 C2.
6. Verify that the transmitters have been successfully programmed by pressing the LOCK or UNLOCK button on each transmitter, and observing that the system responds by locking and/or unlocking the doors.
