Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter Programming

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter Programming

NOTE: A maximum of 4 Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters can be programmed to the vehicle. Programming must be done at the same time for all the RKE transmitters.

1. NOTE: Make sure the front doors are unlocked and closed, and the ignition is in the OFF position.

Turn the ignition switch from the OFF to the RUN position 4 times in rapid succession (within 6 seconds), with the fourth turn ending in OFF. If the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) successfully enters program mode, the Instrument Cluster (IC) sounds a chime.

2. NOTE: If no action is taken within 10 seconds after a transmitter has been programmed, the programming sequence ends.

Within 10 seconds, press any button on the RKE transmitter to be programmed. The IC chimes to confirm that each RKE transmitter is programmed. Repeat this step for each RKE transmitter.

3. NOTE: There are NO chimes or any other confirmation from the IC upon exiting programming mode.

Exiting the programming mode is accomplished if one of the following occurs:

- The ignition transitions to the RUN position.

- 10 seconds have passed since entering programming mode or since the last RKE transmitter was programmed.

- The maximum number (4) of RKE transmitters have been programmed.

4. Check the operation of the transmitter. If the door locks do not respond for the programmed RKE transmitter(s), wait several seconds and press the button again. If the door locks still fail to respond, refer to Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems Special Tool(s) Used With Diagnostics. (Make sure that no more than the maximum number of RKE transmitters are attempted to be programmed.)
