Program A Door Lock Button System


Door lock button systems are common features of most modern vehicles.  It allows the owner to lock or unlock the vehicle with just the click of a button. The functions of a door lock button system are controlled by the Body Control Module (BCM) and the Central Timer Module (CTM). These modules are progammable. Here are two ways by which the door lock button system can be programmed by the owner.

First Method of Programming:

  1. Press the [LOCK] button five times at two-second intervals to synchronize the transmitter.
  2. Then, turn the ignition switch to run position. (Allow ignition chimes to stop).

  4. Within the specified four to ten seconds, continue pressing the [UNLOCK] button and press the [PANIC] button for 1 second and release both buttons. You release either button first. Entering the transmitter-programming mode will be indicated by a chime. Allow 3 seconds for chime to ound.
  5. In the next step, press [LOCK] and [UNLOCK] buttons simultaneously for one second and release. A short chime will sound for AN/DN.
  6. Finally, press and release any button on the same transmitter and a chime will sound after successfully programming the transmitter.
