PKE Programming

Important
^ Always make sure the radio is turned "OFF" while programming the PKE system to assure proper results.

Up to three different PKE transmitters can be programmed to each vehicle. Each transmitter has its own unique Vehicle Access Code (VAC). The user must initiate the program mode, then program one to three transmitters. If the programming sequence is canceled before any transmitter is programmed, the previously stored codes will remain in memory.

If the battery is disconnected, the PKE receiver Will still remember all vehicle access codes currently programmed to that vehicle.

Programming is initiated by entering a specified button sequence on the Driver Information Center (DIC). The DIC interfaces with the CCM. Refer to the illustration for the program mode initiation procedure.

PROGRAMMING STATUS

While the system is waiting for a transmitter to program, the PKE telltale lamp will flash the number of the transmitter to be programmed (flash once for the first transmitter, twice for the second, and so on). When a transmitter is programmed and the code stored, the lamp will be illuminated continuously as long as that transmitter remains within reception range. When a transmitter which has already been programmed is brought back into range, the lamp will remain flashing until a new transmitter is brought into range.

Once the programming of all three codes has been completed, and the third transmitter is outside reception range, the lamp will not be illuminated again.

PROGRAMMING CANCELLATION

The programming mode will be canceled if any of the following conditions are met:

^ The key is removed from the ignition.
^ Ignition is turned "ON."
^ The PKE system has been in program mode for longer than 2 minutes.

If the program mode is canceled with less than three codes stored, the receiver shall only accept the codes just stored. If the program mode is canceled before any code is stored, the previously stored codes shall remain valid.
