TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING
NOTE: Transmitter programming should be performed only after
verifying that door lock operates normally using key.
NOTE: Ensure ignition is off when connecting or disconnecting scan
tool.
Using Scan Tool (Montero & 3000GT)
1) Connect scan tool to DLC. Close all doors. Turn ignition
switch to ACC position, then to OFF position. Press desired
transmitter switches (secret code), then press twice within 10 seconds\
to register code.
2) Lock and unlock door once. If there are 2 transmitters,
program the first, then the second transmitter using the same
procedure within one minute. After completing the second programming,
lock and unlock door once.
3) Programming mode is finalized when programming of second
transmitter secret code is complete, one minute after setting secret
code, when scan tool is disconnected, when ignition is turned on or
when any door is opened.
Without Scan Tool (Montero)
1) Move code registration switch on RKE control unit to SET I
position. Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on transmitter. Move code
registration switch on control unit to FIX position.
2) Confirm that keyless entry system operates normally. If
system does not operate normally, repeat step 1). If 2 transmitters
are used, register code on SET II position on RKE control unit and set
in same manner as the first transmitter.
TROUBLE SHOOTING

INTRODUCTION TO MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM (MAP)
OVERVIEW OF MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM
The Motorist Assurance Program is the consumer outreach
effort of the Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association, Inc.
(AMRA). Participation in the Motorist Assurance Program is drawn from
retailers, suppliers, independent repair facilities, vehicle
manufacturers and industry associations.
Our organization's mission is to strengthen the relationship
between the consumer and the auto repair industry. We produce
materials that give motorists the information and encouragement to
take greater responsibility for their vehicles-through proper,
manufacturer-recommended, maintenance. We encourage participating
service and repair shops (including franchisees and dealers) to adopt
(1) a Pledge of Assurance to their Customers and (2) the Motorist
Assurance Program Standards of Service. All participating service
providers have agreed to subscribe to this Pledge and to adhere to the
promulgated Standards of Service demonstrating to their customers that
they are serious about customer satisfaction.
These Standards of Service require that an inspection of the
vehicle's (problem) system be made and the results communicated to the\
customer according to industry standards. Given that the industry did
not have such standards, the Motorist Assurance Program successfully
promulgated industry inspection communication standards in 1994-95 for
the following systems: Exhaust, Brakes, ABS, Steering and Suspension,
Engine Maintenance and Performance, HVAC, and Electrical Systems.
Further, revisions to all of these inspection were recently published.
Further, revisions to all of these inspection communication standards
are continually republished. In addition to these, standards for Drive
Train and Transmissions have recently been promulgated. Participating
shops utilize these Uniform Inspection & Communication Standards as
part of the inspection process and for communicating their findings to
their customers.
The Motorist Assurance Program continues to work
cooperatively and proactively with government agencies and consumer
groups toward solutions that both benefit the customer and are
mutually acceptable to both regulators and industry. We maintain the
belief that industry must retain control over how we conduct our
business, and we must be viewed as part of the solution and not part
of the problem. Meetings with state and other government officials
(and their representatives), concerned with auto repair and/or
consumer protection, are conducted. Feedback from these sessions is
brought back to the association, and the program adjusted as needed.
To assure auto repair customers recourse if they were not
satisfied with a repair transaction, the Motorist Assurance Program
offers mediation and arbitration through MAP/BBB-CARE and other non-
profit organizations. MAP conducted pilot programs in twelve states
before announcing the program nationally in October, 1998. During the
pilots, participating repair shops demonstrated their adherence to the
Pledge and Standards and agreed to follow the UICS in communicating
the results of their inspection to their customers. To put some
"teeth" in the program, an accreditation requirement for shops was
initiated. The requirements are stringent, and a self-policing method

vent may force fluid past the seal.
