Answers to all your keyless entry problems!!!!!

2003 MODELS
These vehicles have the programmable Keyless Controller Assembly. Use the applicable Service Man-ual
to diagnose the concern. For component parts refer to 2003 Model Parts Catalog.
NOTE: Replace only the individual components as necessary. DO NOT install a set.


2001 - 2002 MODELS
All 2001-2002 models with keyless entry systems have a factory installed non-programmable controller
assembly. This controller is identified by a white connector and only supports the
original two transmitters provided with the vehicle. When servicing any component of the system, or if
transmitters are misplaced, it requires the replacement of the controller assembly and its transmitters as
a set.

What can you tell me about the 2.0 j20A engine? Is it as good as I hear? Does zuki make tough engines?
Can you get TSB for these rigs? :smile:

What is the difference between FCC: M0ZD01TB and FCC: M0ZD02TB?

Is this the difference between 1st and 2nd generation remotes and which can be re-programmed?

nope they both look identical. Only way to tell is to look at the module under the dash and see if it says reprogrammable on it.

I bought a remote from ebay for the 98-00 Grand Vitara and I was trying to re program it , on one of the post I seen in here it said you had to hold the ., I guess it's the reset button on the module and it didn't do anything ( and it wasn't white or red either...it was blue, is this a different module?) Any help with this would be great...Thanks

I Have a 2002 suzuki Grand Vitara. The transmitter stop working, then I replaced the battery but I coudn´t program it.

Greetings! When I tried this procedure, the doors locked/unlocked immediately after step 6 before I could even get to the transmitter buttons in step 7. The fob didn't get programmed. I tried it several times with the same results. Any idea why it would do that?

Programming 1999 & 2000 Vitaras and GVs



On the drivers side remove the plastic panel below the steering column by removing 3 screws at the bottom of the panel, then pry gently at the top which is held by spring catches.

Working through the openings now uncovered locate the black plastic control module which is slightly larger than a deck of cards. On the side with the wiring connecters there is a rectangular slot. Inside the slot you will see a button next to the red LED on the circuit board. Note: there are 2 connecter sockets but only one is used.

Turn on the ignition switch for 3 to 5 seconds, then turn it off. Quickly push down on the button next to the LED, using an insulated screwdriver or a popsicle stick. The red LED on the module will start flashing indicating it is in the learn mode, push the lock button on each remote (one remote at a time), then the unlock, and last both (original equipment 2 button remote) or the panic on later replacement remotes. Let the module 'learn' mode time out (within 4-5 seconds) -- try your remote(s).

Hello, and thank you for your time in advance. So, I have a 2002 Grand Vitara and the keyless entry works sometimes and not others, mostly not working. I already located and swapped out both the fuse (pain in the ass!) and the battery for the Key Fob hoping it would be an easy fix. No such luck! Does this mean I basically need to replace the whole Keyless Controller Set as mentioned above?

Am I understanding that that's the next step if I really want this to work?


...or, do I need to get under that dash cover again and look at model numbers to make sure there's not a way to reprogram, or whatever? *ackk... I loathe car crap!*

Try to clean the circuit board inside the remote with an old tooth brush. Sometimes the contacts just get gunked up over time.

We do have replacement Vitara remotes if needed:
