Keyless Entry Transmitter: Service and Repair
Without Valet Switch
KEYLESS TRANSMITTER REPROGRAMMING
Note: The Security System RF handset transmitters can be programmed manually in case a Portable Diagnostic Unit (PDU) is not immediately
available.
Procedure
Note: This procedure will de-program all previously programmed transmitters. All transmitters must be programmed at the same time. Make sure you
have all transmitters that the customer will be using before beginning.
1. Turn ignition ON.
2. Ground yellow/white wire from alarm ECU. This wire was previously used for the valet switch, which was discontinued. If the connector cannot
be found under the center console glove compartment then you will need to do this at the ECU in the trunk (right rear).
3. Turn Ignition OFF.
4. Remove ground from yellow/white wire.
5. Quickly ground yellow/white wire an additional 5 times.
Alarm will enter programming mode. This will be confirmed by "beeps" from the alarm and flashing exterior lights.
Program each transmitter (up to 5) by pressing the lock or unlock button on the each transmitter once. The alarm will "honk" when you press the
transmitter button.
The alarm must honk 5 times to complete the programming. Therefore, if you are only programming one transmitter you should operate the
transmitter 5 times. If you are programming two transmitters you will operate one transmitter twice, and three times on the other. For five
transmitters you will operate each transmitter once.
