NOTE (With keyless entry systeml:
. It the doors unlock or lock with the transmitter, but the LED on the transmitter does not come on, the LED is faulty;
replace the transmitter'
. when vou unlock the doors with the transmitter, the ceiling light (middle position) comes on for 30 seconds. (However,
if the audio unit is not installed, the light does not come on )
. lf any door is open, you cannot lock or unlockthe doors with the transmitter'
. The horn sounds only the first time you press a transmitter button. (Pressing repeatedly does not activate the horn
again.)
o lf vou unlocked the doors with the transmitter, but do not open any of the doors within 30 seconds, the doors relock
automatically.
. The doors do not lock or unlock with the transmitter if the ignition key is inserted in the ignition switch
. lf you press the PANIC button for more than two seconds, the horn sounds for about 30 seconds, and the transm'fer
LED comes on. (The panic mode will not be activated iJ the ignition key is in the ignition switch ) The panic mode is
cancelled by pressing any of the transmitter buttons'
o After replacing the transmitter battery, press the lock and unlock buttons five or six times to activate the transmitter'

Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contacl.
. lf the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system
. lf the terminals look OK, make rhe following input tests at the connector.
- lf anv test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck ihe system
- lf all the input tests prove OK, the control unit must be faulty; replace it

Transmitter Test
NOTE:
. lf the doors unlock or lock with the transmitter, but
the LED on the transmitter does not come on, the
LED is faulty; replace the transmitter.
. lf any door is open, you cannot lock or unlock the
door with the transmitter.
. lf you unlocked the doors with thetransmitter, but do
not open any of the doors within 30 seconds, the
doors relock automatically.
. The doors do not lock or unlock with the transmitter
if the ignition key is inserted in the ignition switch.
1. Using a keyless entry checker (07MAJ - SP003001:
. Place the transmitter on the keyless entry check-
er, and press the transmitter button.
- lf the indicator light does not come on, check
for:- a dead or low batterv- Faulty transmitter- lf the ray indicator light comes on, the trans-
mitter is OK.

Storing Transmitter Codes
. The codes of up to four transmitters can be stored in the control unit. {lf a {ifth code is stored, the code which was
stored tirst will be erased.)
. When the system enters the registration mode, all previously slored codes will be erased.
. The system leaves the registration mode and returns to the normal mode if you
- turn the valet swirch OFF, or
- turn the ignition switch OFF, or
- do not press the transmitter button for more than 10 seconds
Procedure:
NOTE: lt is important to maintain the time limits between steps

NOTE: lf the tuner is turned ON, it willgo off and come on again when the reg-
istration procedure is completed-

NOTE: lf you want to register the codesof more than one transmitter, repeat step4 within 10 seconds with the next trans'mitter.
NOTE: After storing its code, make sure
