DESCRIPTION
WARNING: Vehicles are equipped with air bag supplemental restraint
system. Before attempting ANY repairs involving steering
column, instrument panel or related components, see
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS and DISABLING & ACTIVATING
AIR BAG SYSTEM in appropriate AIR BAG RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS article.
Remote keyless entry system is used to lock and unlock vehicle doors and liftgate window.
Transmitter sends coded signals to Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR), capable
of recognizing 4 transmitters. RCDLR, located in left side instrument panel sound insulator,
decodes signal from transmitter and issues signal to Body Control Module (BCM) through
serial data link, System also uses existing power door lock components. System has a remote
panic alarm on transmitter (imprinted with horn symbol),
OPERATION
When UNLOCK button is pressed on transmitter, signal is received by RCDLR which sends
signal to BCM. BCM processes signal and unlocks driver's door only and turns on interior
lights. When UNLOCK button is pressed a second time, within 5 seconds of first press,
remaining doors will unlock
To lock doors, press LOCK button to lock all doors and liftgate at once, When LOCK button
is pressed a second time, within 5 seconds of first press, horn will chirp. When REAR 2X
button is depressed twice within 5 seconds, liftgate window is unlatched and interior lights
turn on. Vehicles equipped with manual transmissions must have parking brake applied for
this feature to operate. Transmitter must be within 33 feet (10 m) to be received and decoded
by RCDLR
When transmitter panic alarm button (horn symbol) is depressed, horn will sound and
parking lights will flash for up to 30 seconds. This can be stopped by depressing transmitter
panic alarm button again, by waiting 30 seconds or by starting vehicle.
Keyless entry system also uses rolling code technology. Rolling code feature prevents
anyone from recording signal sent to RCDLR and then using signal to gain entry to vehicle.
Transmitter sends a different signal in a different order to RCDLR each time keyless entry
system is used. If a programmed transmitter sends a signal that RCDLR does not expect,
then transmitter is out of synchronization,

PROGRAMMING
TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING
NOTE: Transmitters from other model vehicles may appear to be similar
but are not interchangeable. Transmitters can be identified by
GMIUTA preceding part number.
Without Scan Tool
1, Ensure driver's door is closed. With ignition switch in OFF position, hold down power
unlock button on door panel. Turn ignition switch to ON position, then OFF. Turn
ignition switch to ON position, then OFF a second time. Release power unlock button
on door panel. RCDLR will respond by locking and then unlocking all doors and
unlatching rear window (utility vehicles only) to indicate programming mode.
2. Hold down LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on transmitter until RCDLR responds by
locking then unlocking all doors and unlatching rear window (utility vehicles only).
3. Repeat step 2 for each additional transmitter. Program all extra transmitters at this time.
When a new transmitter is programmed, old transmitters will be deactivated.
4. Turn ignition switch to ON position to exit programming mode.
TRANSMITTER RESYNCHRONIZATION
1. Resynchronization may be necessary due to security methods used by Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) system. Transmitters do not send same signal twice. RCDLR will not
respond to a signal it has been sent previously preventing recording and playback of
transmitter signal. Resynchronization will be necessary if any of the following occur:
« Transmitter battery is very weak.
« Transmitter battery is changed.
* Vehicle battery is very weak
« Vehicle battery has been low or not charged for an extended period of time.
2. To resynchronize transmitter to RCDLR, stand within 5 feet of vehicle and
simultaneously depress and hold LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on transmitter for 72001 Chevrolet S10 Pickup

Pickup
seconds. Door locks should cycle to confirm resynchronization.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Check TBC fuse (10-amp) and MIR/LKS fuse (3-amp) in under hood fuse block. Check
PWR LKS fuse (15-amp) in instrument panel fuse block. Verify proper operation of power
door locks and interior light systems. Ensure ground connections are clean and tight. Check
for proper installation of any aftermarket electronic equipment that may affect integrity of
other systems. Try a known good transmitter. If system operates, change batteries in first
transmitter and try again. If transmitter still does not operate, it is defective. Ensure
transmitter battery terminals are clean and make good contact with battery. Check for BCM
DTCs. See REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK under
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
