Help! PKE receiver reset...need to program a new transmitter

[Darrell]

i have gone through the original transmitter and 2 additional one on my 1993 coupe. the first one lasted 15 years and finally broke, since that i have gone through a couple more and was able add them to the programming
now i am at a brick wall and can't seem to program transmitter #4
i have the shop manual and does not seem to offer any help
does anyone know how to rest the PKE receiver so it can be programed with the new transmitter?
here is what i have done
press trip/odo twice
press and hold fuel info until pke lights up
turn key to off...also to lock
at this point the pke light should light and blink
it does not

From the owners manual:

Programming Transmitter

The Passive Keyless Entry system
allows up to thee transmitters to be
matched to your Corvette. Each
transmitter has its own code. To
operate with our particular vehicle, the
code needs to be programmed into the
system.

To Engage the Programming Mode:

1. Move all transmitters out of range.
2. Turn the ignition key on.
3. Push the TRIP ODO button on the
Driver Information Center twice.
4. Within five seconds, press and hold
the FUEL INFO button on the
Driver Information Center until the
PASSIVE KEYLESS ENTRY light
comes on and stays on.
5. Turn the ignition key to the Off
position, but leave the key in the
ignition.

The PASSIVE KEYLESS ENTRY
light should flash once per second
signaling that the system is ready to
program the first transmitter. The
number of times the light flashes
corresponds to the number of the
transmitter you're programming (once
per second for the first transmitter,
twice per second for the second
transmitter, and three times per second
for the third transmitter).

Programming a Transmitter:

1. Bring a transmitter into range.
2. The PASSIVE KEYLESS ENTRY
light will come on and stay on,
signaling that the code has been
stored.
3. Move the transmitter out of range.
The system light will flash again and
the system is ready for the next
transmitter.
4. You can turn off the programming
mode by removing the key from the
ignition or by turning the ignition on.
Turning off the programming mode
before you program the transmitters
will not cancel any transmitter codes
already programmed into the system.
Bringing more than one transmitter
into range at a time will make it
difficult for the system to search for
individual codes.

The programming mode will shut off
after two minutes if:
-you have not programed any
transmitters
-you have taken the key out of the
ignition
-after three transmitters have been programmed.

If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a
replacement can be purchased through
your dealer.

If fewer than three transmitters are
programmed, only those transmitters
will work with your vehicle.
When the first transmitter is
programmed, all previous transmitter
codes will be erased.
So when programming a new transmitter,
all other transmitters must be
reprogrammed.

Hope this helps!

need to remove the stored codes in the PKE receiver

thanks for the reply...my problem is that there are 3 codes stored into the PKE receiver and it no long will enter program mode to accept a new transmitter
it seems there must be a way to clear the stored codes in the system
1st transmitter is broken
2nd transmitter is broken
3rd transmiutter is broken
just bought 4th replacement transmitter and need to get the 1st three codes (or at least one of them) removed from memory
i do have the shop manual and have read it over and over but cannot find what i am looking for

thanks for your time answering my post

I spent some time reading over the PKE section in my MY1996 Factory Service Manual.

What appears to me is GM did not leave a solution for more than three (3) transmitters to be programmed for any one PKE module.

I am going to post this question in another forum.

Hopefully, I will obtain an answer.

If you can't get into the reprogramming mode...then the problem, I think, would be with the PKE module.

If you could re-program a fob then it shud delete the the other transmitters?????

Are you following the procedure EXACTLY as LT4man posted?

At what point is it hanging up?

First confirmation appears to be here???

4. Within five seconds, press and hold
the FUEL INFO button on the
Driver Information Center until the
PASSIVE KEYLESS ENTRY light
comes on and stays on.

PKE reset

i have followed the procedures to the letter
the problem lies in the step where i turn the key to the off position and the light is supposed to come on and blink
it does not come on or blink so it does not enter program mode
since there is some conflicting information from the instructions on that came with the transmitter and what the manual states
i have also tried the procedure by turning the key to the lock position
neither way makes the light come on and blink

Have you tried the diagnostic mode for the PKE? If not....

For those with a 16 pin DLC the pins to ground are 8 to 5.










"DIAGNOSIS
The PKE system will flash a specified diagnostic trouble code (dtc), based up on the testing of certain fucntion parts of the system when the diagnostics enable input is activated. the diagnostic mode will be accessed when the following conditions are met.
- Key is in the ignition
- Ignition is "OFF"
- the diagnostic link connector (DLC) terminal "H" has been grounded.


The diagnositc mode will be exited whenever the grounding of the diagnositc enable input is removed. the receiver will return to transmitter in range/key-in ignition mode after exiting. The "Passive Keyless Entry" lamp shall flash DTCs indictating proper operation or faults of specific parts of the system."


"DAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)The "Passive Keyless Entry" lamp in the Driver Information Center (DIC) shall flash information codes shown below, which represent the corresponding system condition.


Diagnostic Condition - DTC
Receiver memory bad - 12
Transmitter not in range - 13
Non-Valid transmitter received - 14
Valid Transmitter received - 15
Passenger Door Button Depressed - 16
Hatch Button Depressed - 17


DTCs 12. 13, and 14 display the current state of the system. DTCs 15, 16, and 17 are actually functional codes which require the transmitter to be in range as confirmation that the receiver has functioned correctly."
================
just get the DTC and i'll tell you what the chart says the problem may be for that DTC. The chart is too lengthy to type out the remaining procedure for each DTC.
