GPRACER Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 1999 Oldsmobile Alero Transmitter Programming A remote door lock receiver may have up to 4 different transmitters programmed. You may program a transmitter to more than 1 vehicle providing the remote keyless entry systems are similar. When reprogramming 1 transmitter, reprogram any and all other transmitters (maximum of 4 total per receiver) at the same time in order for the other transmitters to work. Important Leave a window down in the vehicle while reprogramming the remote control door lock receiver system. This procedure will avoid an unintentional lock out if the reprogramming is not performed properly. Turn off the ignition. Utilize a Tech 2 to program the remote door lock receiver. Enter diagnostics (F0). Enter body (F1); select the year (X) and body style (N). Select "Remote Function Actuation" (F3). Select "Special Functions" (F2). Select "Program Transmitters" (F0). Select the number of transmitters to program (1-4) Follow the on-screen instructions; press continue, wait for the locks to cycle, hold the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously for 15-30 seconds, the locks will cycle again. Exit the vehicle. Attempt to lock/unlock the doors to verify the programming. Perform the following steps if the above procedure does not program the transmitter. Reconnect the Tech 2. Enter service programming (F1). Press the "REQUEST INFO" key. Select "Reprogram Existing Module" Exit the vehicle and remove the Tech 2. Follow the existing procedure to reflash the body control module. © Copyright General Motors Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Not something you can do without a scan tool, the dealer should be able to do this fairly cheaply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted January 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 Thanks again for the info. I thought I could program it for my friend cause the dealer wants like $50 to do it. SO guess that's his only option. Oh well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Botan Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 Is it a new remote, or an existing one? If it is an existing one that just does not work, it says that if you stand next to the car and hold both the lock, and unlock buttons for a few seconds, it will resynchronize the remote with the controller. This will only work though if it is an original remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AM6_Cutlass Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 Wow, that's cool four remotes can now be programmed to one car, but it sucks it is no longer a simple do it at home process. I don't think I would have bought a second remote for my car if it would have taken $50 to get it programmed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
