Programming Guide for 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Keyless Entry Remote Fob (Smart Key)
Important Notice: The 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross does not support onboard programming for smart key remote fobs. Programming requires specialized equipment and must be done by a qualified professional.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Step 1: Locate a Professional Service Provider To begin the programming process, find a qualified service provider or technician with experience in smart key systems. Ensure they are equipped with the necessary tools and diagnostic equipment for programming the smart key for your vehicle model.
- Step 2: Prepare for Service Make sure you have all the necessary items for the programming session. This typically includes any existing remote fobs you wish to have programmed and proof of ownership for the vehicle (such as your vehicle registration or title).
- Step 3: Schedule an Appointment Contact the service provider to confirm their availability for the smart key programming service. Discuss the estimated costs, expected time for the procedure, and any requirements for your vehicle during the service.
- Step 4: Vehicle Assessment Upon arrival, the technician will assess your vehicle to ensure it is compatible with the programming procedure. The technician will also check that your vehicle's electrical system is functioning correctly, ensuring that the process runs smoothly.
- Step 5: Connect Diagnostic Equipment The technician will connect specialized diagnostic tools to your vehicle’s onboard computer system. This equipment is essential for accessing and modifying the vehicle’s keyless entry system and for programming the new smart key remote fob.
- Step 6: Program the Smart Key Remote Fob Once the equipment is connected, the technician will proceed with programming the new smart key remote fob to the vehicle's system. This involves syncing the fob’s unique code with your vehicle's immobilizer and keyless entry systems, allowing the fob to interact properly with the vehicle.
- Step 7: Test the Smart Key Functionality After programming, the technician will test the newly programmed key to ensure it operates all relevant functions of the vehicle, such as locking and unlocking the doors, starting the engine, and activating other smart key features.
- Step 8: Verify Existing Key Functionality If you have other existing remote fobs, the technician will also verify that those still work correctly after the programming procedure. They will ensure that all previously programmed keys are functioning as expected.
- Step 9: Final Check and Confirmation Once the technician confirms that all keys are working and functioning correctly, they will provide you with any relevant documentation, such as proof that the programming was completed successfully.
- Step 10: Complete the Service and Payment After confirming the functionality of the keys, complete the payment for the service. Ensure that you receive a receipt or any necessary documentation for future reference regarding the work performed.
