Remote Control Door Lock Receiver Programming and Setup without RPO Y41

Important: 

   • When replacing the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR), the tire pressure monitoring (TPM) information can be learned to the new RCDLR in one of two ways. These two methods are reflected in the selections below. Only choose one of the methods; it is not required to do both methods when replacing the RCDLR.
   • If you choose to perform the Copy and Paste TPM Information procedure, Step 1 must be performed BEFORE removing the old RCDLR. This procedure requires that specific TPM information be extracted from the old RCDLR prior to its removal.

Remote Control Door Lock Receiver Replacement - Copy and Paste TPM Information

This procedure will learn the TPM information to the new RCDLR using the Copy and Paste function on the scan tool. This procedure will extract the TPM Tire Type information as well as the sensor data from the existing RCDLR prior to its replacement and store this information in the scan tool. After RCDLR replacement and SPS programming, the tire type and sensor data stored in the scan tool is written to the new RCDLR, negating the need to perform the tire type setup and sensor learn procedure.

This procedure should be considered as the first programming choice when replacing an RCDLR. The Copy and Paste procedure eliminates the possibility of incorrectly inputting the tire type or learning stray TPM sensors.

    Important: This step must be performed prior to the removal or replacement of the old RCDLR.

  1. Using a scan tool, navigate to the Copy and Paste TPM Information procedure and copy the existing TPM information from the RCDLR using the outline below. Follow the on-screen instructions after selecting Step 1:
  2. • Vehicle Control Systems
    • Module Setup
    • Remote Control Door Lock Receiver
    • Copy and Paste TPM Information
    • Step 1
  3. At this point, install the new RCDLR.
  4. Program the RCDLR. Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) .
  5. Using a scan tool, navigate to the Copy and Paste TPM Information procedure to paste the stored TPM information using the outline below. Follow the on-screen instructions after selecting Step 2:
  6. • Vehicle Control Systems

    • Copy and Paste TPM Information
    • Step 2
  7. Program the keyless entry transmitters - Refer to Transmitter Programming .

Remote Control Door Lock Receiver Replacement - TPM Sensor Learn

This procedure will learn TPM information to the new RCDLR by manually inputting the tire type using the scan tool and performing the TPM sensor learn. This procedure should be performed if the above Copy and Paste procedure can not be completed. An example of this would be an RCDLR that is unable to communicate with the scan tool and is required to be replaced.
