I am posting this for general information on transmitter programming and synchronization. I just programmed my remotes for my 2003.
This information is for all 1997-2004 Corvette models.
Programming transmitters
Entering a specific button sequence on Driver Information Center (DIC) initiates Remote Function Actuation (RFA) programming. Pressing transmitter LOCK and UNLOCK button programs up to 3 transmitters. Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) indictes when programming sequence is complete. Remote control door lock receiver memory retains current access codes if a programming sequence is interruped or battery is disconnected. Perform the following steps:
1. Turn ignition switch to RUN postiion. Turn radio off. Press Driver Information Center (DIC) RESET button to clear any Insturment Panel Cluster (IPC) warning messages. Press OPTIONS button on DIC until IPC display is blank.
2. Press and hold RESET button for 3 seconds. Press OPTIONS button until FOB TRAINING message is displayed. Press RESET button only once to begin programming sequence.
3. DIC will display HOLD LK + UNLK 1ST FOB. Simultaneously press and hold LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on first transmitter for 12 seconds. IPC will indicate FOB LEARNED when transmitter is programmed and when to proceed. Repeat this step for each transmitter (up to 3 transmitters).
Program Cancellation
Remote control door lock receiver will cancel programming sequence if one of the following conditions occur:
- Program mode is excited through DIC
- Ignition is turned off
- Three transmitters have been programmed
- RFA system has been in program mode for more than 2 minutes and no transmittters have been programmed.
Synchronizing Tranmitters
Each transmitter has a unique code that changes every five seconds. After programming transmitter to vehicle, the remote control door lock receiver will update this code every five seconds to match code programmed in transmitter. Transmitter may not communicate or become out of synchronization if one of the following conditions occur:
- Transmitter battery is disconnected
- Vehicle battery is disconnected
- Transmitter and vehicle are separated for 5 weeks or more
- Receiver is disconnected
Move a programmed transmitter within range. Press transmitter LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously for 6 seconds. Vehicle horn will chirp once when transmitters are synchronized.
Hope this information may be helpful to someone with key FOB / transmitter problems.
