Key Fob programming instructions
Key less Remote programing

Not sure how you are doing your programming, so follow these.


IMPORTANT: Before entering programming mode, have in possession all of the remotes you
will be useing on the vehicle. Once you program the remote. all previous remotes that were
programmed will be erased from memory. The other remotes will not be functional until you
program the them again.

1. Remove the key from the ignition.

2. Close all doors.

3. Remove the "MALL PGM" fuse from the fuse panel. Use the legend on the fuse panel or
owner's manual to properly locate the "MALL PGM" fuse. (passenger side, accessed through the glove compartment)

4. Insert the key into the ignition, and turn to the ACC position. (back)

5. Turn the key to OFF and then back to ACC within 1 second.

6. Open and close any vehicle door. A chime will be heard when the system enters into
programming mode.

7. Press and hold the remote LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously for 14 seconds.
IMPORTANT: After 7 seconds, a chime may be heard confirming successful
synchronization. It is necessary to wait approximately 14 seconds for a second chime
that will confirm successful programming.

8. Repeat step 7 now for each additional remotes to be programmed including any existing
remotes.

9. Remove key from ignition.

10. Install the "MALL PGM" fuse back into the fuse panel and test remote(s).

If that doesn't work, I would check the Mall PGM fuse. If that doesn't do it you might have a problem with the transmitter or the receiver unit.

Good luck!!

((((((WARNING))))))) BS STEALERSHIP ALERT!!!

Imagine that, a deal told you that "sometimes" the need to do it with a scan tool. This is incorrect.

I no longer think that this is not a programming issue, of course I'm trusting that you did the programming right. However, let me get back to you, there might be other programming that might need to be done. Ill let you know in the next day or so.

Oh yeah, don't take it to a dealer!

97-03 gp's dont require the dealership tech 2 scanner for programming. sounds like your fob is broken

Ok, I must be blind, but I can't find a way to thank Blown97, so I'm gonna just say it. I came across this thread after I got my remotes for my 01 GTP, and the info above was a huge help. So, thanks!
