To delete old transmitter codes, program
four transmitter codes into the system. If
you have only one current transmitter,
program it four times. If you have two
current transmitters, program each one
twice. If you have three current transmitters, program two of them once and the
third one twice. This process will leave
only current transmitter codes in the
system’s memory.

NOTE
Make sure no one else is operating
their keyless entry system within range
of your vehicle when programming

operate their remote transmitter while
you are programming your transmitters, it is possible that their transmitter
code will be programmed into your
system, allowing them unauthorized
access to your vehicle.
