Transmitter Programming

Each receiver can be programmed with the security codes of up to four unique transmitters. The receiver must have at least one transmitter trained and stored into the non-volatile memory for the system to operate remotely. Initially, two transmitters and one receiver will be shipped as a "pre-programmed" set.

In the event that a transmitter is lost, the security codes of previously programmed transmitters need to be deleted, and the new transmitter codes need to be programmed into the receiver memory. The glove box must be removed for access to the Keyless Entry Module. This process will require the use of a "Program" switch which is located on the Keyless Entry above the connector.

The following procedure can be used to erase the receivers program memory 2nd to train new unique transmitter codes into the receiver:



Vehicle Ignition must be in the "RUN" position.
Momentarily depress the "Program" switch on the receiver. The receiver shall then acknowledge successful erasure by locking then unlocking the vehicle doors. The operator shall have 10 seconds to program the first transmitter.
Operate any button on the first transmitter to program and store the security code for transmitter # 1. The receiver shall then acknowledge successful programming by locking then unlocking the vehicle doors.
The operator shall have 10 seconds to program the next transmitter by repeating step 3 for transmitter # 2.
After two transmitters have been trained, programming of the Keyless Entry System is complete. Wait 10 seconds after the second transmitter has been programmed and turn the Ignition Switch "OFF" to test the remote lock operation of the transmitters as a final check programming has been successful. Important:
Train only one vehicle Keyless Entry System at a time. If multiple vehicles are being programmed in close proximity simultaneously, it is possible that the same transmitter could be trained to more than one receiver.

Suggested Repair

Remove the glove box to access the Keyless Entry Module and its Program switch above the connector. With the ignition in RUN, briefly press Program; the doors lock then unlock to confirm memory erase. Within 10 seconds, press any button on the first transmitter, then repeat within 10 seconds for a second transmitter. After the second acknowledgment, wait 10 seconds, turn the ignition off, and test both remotes. Program only one vehicle at a time so a transmitter is not learned by another nearby receiver.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1995 Pontiac Transport asked where the remote door lock transmitter is and how to program it. The expert explained that the Keyless Entry Module is behind the glove box and gave the erase-and-train procedure: ignition in RUN, press the Program switch, then operate each transmitter within 10 seconds, with door lock/unlock confirming each step. Up to four transmitters can be stored, and only one vehicle should be programmed at a time.
