<h1>Smart Key Remote Programming Instructions – 2023 Ram ProMaster</h1> <p><font size="3"><b>Important Notice:</b> The 2023 Ram ProMaster does not support onboard programming for its smart key fobs. Programming must be performed by a qualified automotive technician using specialized diagnostic equipment that connects to the vehicle’s internal control modules.</font></p> <p><font size="3"><b>Step-by-Step Programming Instructions</b> </font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Step 1: Contact a Certified Automotive Technician Find a technician or service provider trained in electronic key programming. Ensure they have manufacturer-grade diagnostic tools compatible with Ram commercial vehicles. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 2: Gather All Smart Key Fobs Bring every remote you intend to use. The vehicle’s system may clear all previous keys during programming, so any fob not present may become inactive and will need to be reprogrammed. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 3: Check Vehicle Drivability If the ProMaster is operational, consider driving it to the technician’s location. This can help reduce the overall service cost compared to mobile programming. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 4: Prepare Proof of Vehicle Ownership Have your vehicle’s registration or title and a valid photo ID ready. These may be required to verify ownership and authorize key fob programming, especially if no working remotes are available. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 5: Technician Connects Diagnostic Equipment The technician will plug a diagnostic scan tool into the vehicle’s OBD-II port. This interface allows secure communication with the vehicle’s body control and immobilizer systems. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 6: Enter Key Programming Mode Using the diagnostic tool, the technician will initiate the programming process. This step may clear previously stored remotes and prepare the system to accept new ones. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 7: Program Each Smart Key Individually Each fob is registered one at a time. The technician will verify functionality by testing door lock/unlock, push-button ignition (if applicable), and proximity entry features. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 8: Complete the Programming Session Once all remotes are successfully programmed, the technician will save the settings, exit programming mode, and disconnect the equipment. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 9: Test All Key Fobs Confirm that each remote functions correctly—check locking, unlocking, engine start (if supported), and any additional smart key features. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 10: Keep a Backup Fob Safely Stored Store an extra programmed fob in a secure place in case of future loss or failure of the primary remote.</font></li> </ul>
