Keyless Entry Transmitter: Service and Repair
Keyless Entry Transmitter Programming (with RPO Y41 - North America and Asia)
Transmitter Programming (with RPO Y41 - North America and Asia)
Important: Do not operate or program the transmitters in the vicinity of other vehicles that are in the keyless entry program mode. This will
prevent the programming of the transmitters to the incorrect vehicle.
There are 3 methods for programming keyless entry transmitters. Up to 4 transmitters may be programmed to the remote control door lock receiver
(RCDLR). Each programmed transmitter is given a position of #1-#4 in the RCDLR memory.
A "known" transmitter is one that has already been programmed to the vehicle. It is very important that the transmitter which is to be programmed is
NOT placed into the console transmitter pocket until the DIC correctly displays the transmitter number that you wish to program to.
Method 1 - Adding, Replacing, or Invalidating transmitters (Known transmitter Available)
This procedure will add or replace transmitters. This procedure requires that you have a known good transmitter available, a replacement transmitter, and
a scan tool.
Method 1 is also used for the initial programming of transmitters to a new replacement RCDLR. In this instance, the new RCDLR comes ready to learn
the first transmitters introduced. Perform the learn procedure as outlined, with the exception that the new RCDLR does not require a known good
transmitter be placed within the interior of the vehicle.
Important: This procedure is not available when the maximum number of transmitters (4) have been programmed. If 4 transmitters are
programmed to this RCDLR and this method is attempted, the driver information center (DIC) will display MAXIMUM # ELECTRONIC
KEYS LEARNED and the programming procedure will exit. Method 2 or 3 must be used in this instance.
1. The vehicle must be OFF.
2. Place a known transmitter and any new transmitter(s) to be programmed in the cupholder inside the vehicle. DO NOT PLACE ANY
TRANSMITTERS IN THE CONSOLE POCKET AT THIS TIME.
3. Use scan tool to access the following:
*
Vehicle Control Systems
*
Computer/Integrating Systems
*
Module Setup
*
Remote Control Door Lock Receiver
*
Program Key Fobs
4. Select the transmitter position you wish to program:
Important: Selecting Invalidate All transmitters will erase any known transmitters and will cause the DIC to prompt READY FOR
transmitter 1, requiring all transmitters to be relearned to the vehicle.

5. After making the selection, a beep should be heard. If a beep is not heard or the DIC displays ELECTRONIC KEY NOT DETECTED, a valid
transmitter was not found. Ensure that a valid transmitter has been placed in the cupholder and repeat step 4.
6. The scan tool will be displaying the current transmitter programming status. Press the PROGRAM soft key on the scan tool to continue with
programming. The DIC should respond by displaying: READY TO LEARN ELECTRONIC KEY #X (X = 1, 2, 3 or 4, depending on the selected
position).
7. With the DIC displaying the correct transmitter position that is to be programmed, place the new/replacement transmitter in the console pocket
with the buttons facing forward.
8. A beep will occur once the transmitter has been learned.
9. Depending on the option chosen above, the DIC may display a prompt asking that another transmitter be programmed. If programming additional
transmitters, repeat steps 6 and 7, or press the EXIT soft key on the scan tool.
Important: Newly programmed transmitters will not function until program mode has been exited (DIC is blank). This must be done
prior to pressing the UNLOCK button in the next step.
10. Press the UNLOCK button on each transmitter that was programmed to finalize the programming and confirm system operation.
