Programming key fob
1. Ensure the alarm system is not armed.
2. (1996 ~ 1998 GEN II) Ground pin C13 loose green wire taped to harness of EEM connector, which is under dash mounted on the left side of trans tunnel, directly above accelerator. Easy access if you remove knee bolster and rubber bungee cord that holds EEM to tunnel.
2A. (1999 ~ 2000) As #2, but instead of C13 you're grounding Terminal 1 of the DLC. (since I have a 1996 GTS, I have no clue what a DLC is) DLC is the Data Link Connector, i.e. the under dash OBD2 connector which is above your left knee
2B. (ALL GEN I) Ground green "Program" Wire located next to SAM and RKE modules. Is a green wire with a bullet connector on end. Is located under driver's side instrument panel.
Hint, Make sure you're connecting to a solid body ground by testing it with an ohm meter.
3. Turn ignition to run position while green wire is still grounded!
4. EEM acknowledges entry into programming mode by flashing the dash LED. If it doesn't flash, you either:
- Have the wrong wire
- Aren't solidly grounded
- You came off ground after the ignition switch was placed in the run position. Start over.
5. (All GEN II) Press BOTH buttons on the transmitter simultaneously and continuously for 10 seconds. You will hear a triple horn chirp when FOB is accepted by the EEM.
5B. (All GEN I) Press and release the arm or disarm button on either FOB, then same for the next.
Hint: Make sure your transmitter is working, i.e fresh CR2032 battery $1.19 @ Zbattery.com and good clean battery contacts. Many times your problem is an electrically weak connection within the FOB itself.
6. You MUST program all FOBS during the same programming process. You can program up to 4 on a GEN II and I think only 2 on a GEN I.
That's it. Turn the ignition off and remove green wire from ground, then test the arm and disarm functions.
According to my 2000 manual, "Ground C13 of EEM J3 connector (6inch green pigtail wire located at EEM)"
You have 60 sec between FOBs or you have to start over (out of synch).
You can push either button for 10 seconds during the programming.
Causes for going out of synch: Pushing a fob button while disconnecting battery or power to EEM, Pressing both buttons for 5 sec while out of range or when power has been disconnected from EEM., pressing fob button >255 times when out of range or when power disconnected, taking a fob apart (and putting it back together) and pushing the button >10 times when power disconnected.
alarm worky now, thanks everyone...appeared as if I needed to to reset it about 3 times??????????????????????????? I unplug the fuse, put it back, reset it a few times, replaced battery in remote, etc. Finally did the trick.
