The entire procedure for re-programming and Re Syncing the FOBs is in the OWNERS MANUAL. The CORVETTE CENTER has the PDF version on line for free for each year!

KEY FOBS
SYNCHRONIZATION AND PROGRAMMING


TRANSMITTER SYNCHRONIZATION


Resynchronization may be necessary due to the security method used by the remote keyless entry system..

The transmitter does not send the same signal twice to the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR)

The RCDLR will not respond to a signal that has been sent previously.

This prevents anyone from recording and playing back the signal from the transmitter.

Resynchronization may be necessary under the following conditions:
 The battery in the transmitter is very weak.
 The battery in the transmitter was replaced.
 The battery in the vehicle has been in a low or no charge condition for an extended period of time.

In order to resynchronize the transmitter with the RCDLR, perform the following steps:
 Stand within 1.5 meters (5 ft) from the vehicle.
 Simultaneously press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter for 7 seconds. (The horn should chirp in order to confirm synchronization)

TRANSMITTER REPROGRAMMING

If the transmitter and/or receiver are replaced, perform the following programming procedure:
 Turn the ignition to ON.
 Turn the radio to OFF.
 Press the RESET button on the driver information center (DIC) in order to clear any IPC warning messages.
 Press and release the OPTIONS button on the DIC to scroll through the display options until the IPC display is blank.
 Press and hold the RESET button for 3 seconds.
 Press the OPTIONS button until FOB TRAINING message is displayed.

Important: If the FOB TRAINING message cannot be displayed, check if the BCM is configured with the correct RPO codes.

 Press the RESET button in order to begin the programming sequence. The message HOLD LK + UNLK 1ST FOB will be displayed.
 Simultaneously press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the first transmitter for 15 seconds. The IPC will indicate when that transmitter is programmed and when to proceed to the next. Repeat this procedure for each additional transmitter or press the OPTIONS button to exit.
 Up to three transmitters may be programmed.

Note: The receiver will cancel the programming sequence if either three transmitters have been programmed or no transmitters have been programmed for 2 minutes.
