Introduction
This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on how to program a remote key for a Mitsubishi Lancer from the years 2002 to 2006 using the KEYDIY tool. Programming your remote can enhance the convenience and security of your vehicle, allowing you to easily lock and unlock your doors.
Step 1: Gather Necessary Materials
Before you begin programming the remote, ensure you have the following items ready:
- KEYDIY remote key
- Your Mitsubishi Lancer (2002-2006)
- A working ignition key for the vehicle
- A flat, clean surface to work on
Step 2: Enter Programming Mode
To program the remote, you need to enter the vehicle's programming mode. Follow these steps:
- Sit inside the vehicle and close all doors.
- Insert the working ignition key into the ignition switch.
- Turn the key to the "ON" position (do not start the engine) and back to "OFF" five times in quick succession.
- On the fifth turn, leave the key in the "ON" position. You should see the doors lock and unlock, indicating that the vehicle is in programming mode.
Step 3: Program the Remote
Now that you are in programming mode, you can program the new remote:
- Within 30 seconds of entering programming mode, press and hold the "LOCK" button on the KEYDIY remote for about 10 seconds.
- Release the "LOCK" button, then press it again briefly.
- The doors should lock and unlock again, confirming that the remote has been successfully programmed.
Step 4: Exit Programming Mode
After programming the remote, you need to exit programming mode:
- Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position.
- Remove the key from the ignition.
- Test the remote by pressing the "LOCK" and "UNLOCK" buttons to ensure it works properly.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- Ensure that the working key you are using is functional; a faulty key may prevent programming.
- Perform the steps quickly; you have a limited time frame to program the remote once in programming mode.
- If the remote does not program successfully, repeat the steps from entering programming mode.
Conclusion
Programming your Mitsubishi Lancer remote using KEYDIY is a straightforward process if you follow these steps carefully. Make sure to gather all necessary tools beforehand and adhere to the timing for each action. If you encounter any issues, consider consulting a professional locksmith or automotive technician for assistance.
