Is there a different procedure for programming the door lock remote transmitter on the 2001 Montana's. I tried the othe printed procedures on this site and they don't seem to work. I have aquired a 3rd transmitter and would like to have it work on this vehicle.

First of all when you do your program attempt what is the final out come of it? Do any remotes work or none of them work? You need to follow the procedure word for word or it won't work.

Here is the procedure for your van.


1. Remove the ignition key from the ignition lock cylinder.

2. Remove the BCM PRGRM fuse from the fuse block.

3. Close all of the doors.

4. Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder.

5. Turn the ignition to ACC. The body control module (BCM) will perform the following in order to identify the type of BCM installed in the vehicle:
Flash the seat belt indicator 2, 3, or 4 times.
8. Chime 2, 3, or 4 times.

6. Turn the ignition to OFF, and then back to ACC within 1 second. The BCM may begin to chime and flash diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).

7. Open and then close any vehicle door. The BCM will chime in order to confirm that the programming mode has been entered.

8. Press and hold the transmitter LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously for approximately 14 seconds.

Important
After approximately 3-5 seconds the BCM will chime once to confirm that the programming has been completed for that transmitter.

9. Repeat the previous step in order to program each additional transmitter.

10. Remove the ignition key from the ignition lock cylinder.

11. Install the BCM PRGRM fuse into the fuse block.

12. Operate the functions of each transmitter in order to verify correct system operation.

Flatrater, The 2 original remote transmitters still work but the 3rd new transmitter does not work. It seems that I cannot get the chimes after the key turn from off to acc. I will try again today and hopefully get the third one working. Thanks
