Hi, My 1998 Isuzu Rodeo's remote key lock system
Sent to Car Experts February 03 05:07 PM

Hi,
My 1998 Isuzu Rodeo's remote key lock system stopped working. I checked the batteries in both remotes and they are fine. I noticed the problem when the distance between the remote and car got closer and closer until it no longer worked. I get no response when unlocking or locking the car with the remotes. Is this something I can fix or is it a dealer job? Thanks, jayman

Optional Information:
1998 Isuzu Rodeo 3.2L V6

Already Tried:

Give this a try......

1.Get in car and make sure all doors are unlocked.
2. Open driver's door and leave open.
3. Put key in ignition.
4. Turn key to 'on position' (dash lights on, but do not start) and
back to
'off position' 3 times in 5 seconds or less. (you must turn the key
very
fast)
5. Close and open driver's door 2 times in 5 seconds or less.
6. Turn key to 'on position' and back to 'off position' 5 times in 5 seconds or less. (turn key very fast)
7. Close and open driver's door, the doors should lock and unlock twice.

When this occurs, push the lock or unlock button on the remote, doors should lock and unlock.

Push the lock or unlock button a second time and doors should lock and unlock again.



The above procedure erases all previous codes and adds the new code as,
#1. If you are adding a second remote, you should follow the same sequence with the exception of step 6; instead of turning the key to the 'on position'and back to the 'off position' 5 times in 5 seconds or less, do it 3 times
in 5 seconds or less and then continue to step 7.

***Remember to turn the key to the on and off position very fast.

And then there is this.....Call dealer for specific info on this Tecnical service bulletin.
