I bought a fob from a CF member(havent received yet), but I was wondering how you would program the new remote? Is it possible without the tech 2 machine??

 

Check your Owner's Manual - it's all there under "Fob Training".

 

You can match them yourself. From the 2000 Owner's Manual:

Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring any
remaining transmitters with you when you go to your
dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only three transmitters
matched to it.
To match transmitters to your vehicle:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON.
2. Clear any warning messages on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) by pressing the
RESET button.
3. Press the OPTIONS button on the DIC several times
until the blank page is displayed, then press and hold
the RESET button for two seconds.
4. When the message FOB TRAINING is displayed,
push the RESET button once. The message
HOLD LK + UNLK 1ST FOB in the DIC
will be displayed.
5. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on
the transmitter simultaneously for 15 seconds.
6. When a transmitter is learned (matched), the DIC
will display FOB LEARNED and then prompt you
to learn the next transmitter.
7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 for each additional transmitter.
8. Remove the key from the ignition.
The programming mode will shut off if:
_ You don’t program any transmitters for two minutes.
_ You take the key out of the ignition.
_ You have programmed three transmitters.

Resynchronizing Your Transmitter
Your RKE system uses a continually changing code
for increased security. Normally, the receiver in your
vehicle will keep track of this changing code.
If your vehicle does not respond to your transmitter,
do the following to determine what’s wrong:
1. Get closer to the vehicle and try pressing a button
again. Your battery may be low. (If so, see “Battery
Replacement” in the Index.)
2. While standing close to your vehicle, press the
LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on your transmitter at
the same time and hold for seven seconds. This will
attempt to resynchronize the security code in your
RKE transmitter.
3. When resynchronization is achieved, the horn
will chirp.
Loss of synchronization will occur after transmitter
battery replacement or disconnection of the vehicle’s
battery, fore more than three days.
If attempts to resynchronize your transmitter to the
vehicle are not successful, you may need to match the
transmitter to the vehicle. See “Matching Transmitter(s)
to Your Vehicle” in the Index.


Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about 18 months.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won’t
work at the normal range in any location. If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it’s probably time to change the battery.

glad i came across that, just went outside on my 2002, followed the instructions and added a new fob in less then a minute

thanks!

 

All right. Just saved a trip to dealer.

Yup,,, It's all in the manual if you have one,, It's quite simple thing to do just have to follow every step ,,

 

And if it goes to the fob training and does nothing when press lock and unlock.... ANy ideas??

 

Ttt

 

 

I hope you guys realize you are the greatest.

 

15 seconds and it does not recognize the fob, then you have a bad one... are your tire pressure sensors working?

 

I've programmed mine many times using the directions in the manual. If that doesn't work and your batteries are good, maybe the fobs aren't.

 

When doing the above training/programming be sure the FOB is for the correct car. The FOBs for 97-00 are not the same as the ones for 01-04. If you need new FOB's there is a guy on ebay that sells 2 for $27.00 I got them and they work great.

 

Thank you 2KFRC5 I just replaced my battery and my FOB wasn't working right, I thought I needed a new FOB

 

 

I am having the same problem with a 2001. Does anyone know how to get past "FOB Training" on the display??

 

Can you please give us the link or the seller mail..

Thanks
