Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Synchronization

Resynchronization may be necessary due to security methods used by the remote keyless entry system. RKE transmitters do not send the same signal twice to Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR). RCDLR will not respond to a signal that has been sent previously. This prevents anyone from recording and playing back signal from RKE transmitter. Resynchronization may be necessary under the following conditions:

• Battery in RKE transmitter is very weak.
• Battery in RKE transmitter was replaced.
• Battery in vehicle has been in a low or no charge condition for an extended period of time.

To resynchronize RKE transmitter(s) with RCDLR, stand within 5 feet (1.5 m) from vehicle. Simultaneously press and hold LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on RKE transmitter for 7 seconds. On vehicles equipped with Content Theft Deterrent (CTD), horn should chirp confirming synchronization.
