95 trooper- keyless remote programming HELP!

[devil34]

Hi all,

I'm trying to program the keyless remotes on my friends 1995 trooper, I found the security box under the dash and have accessed it through the obd cutout, have found a yellow button in the hole on the center of the box, I have not seen any other buttons on the sides of the box. When I press this button with a pen and turn the ignition on, the dash lights flash and the horn beeps, but when I press a button on the remote, it does not accept the remote, I have tried both remotes. does anyone have the correct instructions to program the remotes or does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I have not found instructions for pre 98 troopers, so I'm doing this from memory as I had a older Trooper a while back with the same system. The remotes have new batteries by the way and were tested on a kent-moore keyless entry tester to verify that they work.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Joe

Programming the Transmitter

NOTE
The system uses a stacking-type memory that accepts up to four transmitters. If you program a fifth transmitter, the memory for the first transmitter is cleared, and it will no longer work.

To clear a lost or stolen transmitter from the system's memory, program a transmitter four times. This will remove the missing transmitter from memory, since only four transmitter codes can be accepted.

Another way to clear a lost or stolen transmitter is to erase all transmitter codes and then reprogram them. Refer to the security system owner's manual.

1. Remove the driver's side lower dashboard panel.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

1. Press and hold the green programming button on the side of the control unit with a pen or pencil until the exterior lights come on. The lights will come on for five seconds. (Steps 3 and 4 must be done within 5 seconds of each other.)
2. Press and release the top button on the transmitter.
3. Check that the LED goes out, the siren chirps once, and the front marker lights flash to confirm that the transmitter's code was accepted by the control unit.
4. If you have other transmitters to program, repeat step 3 for each one.

Hi again
I just got around to try to program the remotes and I'm stuck!

The remotes are square and have 3 buttons; lock,unlock and panic. The control unit does not have a green button on the side, only a yellow button in the center and is marked "Isuzu Security System".
When I press the yellow button with a pen with the ignition on, the horn beeps 3 times and the lights flash, but nothing happens whe n I press the buttons on the remote.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Joe

I checked from 95 through 97, and the manual shows only the two button key fob, and the same info previously posted for operation. I don't know what type of system they may have had as an alternative. this is the info for a Rodeo of the same year, but it has four buttons, but you may be able to try it as an alternative:

Programming the Transmitter

1. Locate the security system control unit mounted under the driver's seat.
2. Rub your finger over the label on the top of the control unit until you find the depression. Once you find it, push your finger through the label to expose the hole underneath. Inside the hole is a square, yellow button; this is the programming button.
3. Turn the ignition switch on, then turn it off.
4. Press and hold the programming button. Check that the security siren emits four separate chirps followed by a five-chirp burst to confirm that you're in the programming mode. The siren then emits prompting chirps at three-second intervals.
5. Release the programming button.
6. After a prompting chirp, press the "LOCK" button on the transmitter. Check that the siren emits a confirmation chirp to let you know that the transmitter's code was accepted by the control unit. If you wait more than 30 seconds after the prompting chirp before programming a transmitter or between programming transmitters, the siren emits three chirps, and the system exits the programming mode.
7. To program additional transmitters, wait for another prompting chirp, then press the "LOCK" button. (You can program up to four transmitters per vehicle.)
8. To exit the programming mode, turn the ignition switch on, then turn it off.
9. Push all the function buttons on each transmitter to make sure they work correctly.

Batteries for the Transmitter

The battery number is 23-144 (Radio Shack), A-23 (Eveready), or MS-21/MN-21 (Duracell). Each transmitter uses one battery.

Hi again,
Thanks, that looks more like the control module than the first one and it in the same spot as the trooper, not under the seat as in the rodeo. The remotes look the same except the trooper ones have only 3 buttons. I'll try it and let you know.
Thanks again,
Joe

Hi,
It worked!!

Strange though, I did not know that the security moduile from a rodeo fits/works in a trooper.

Thanks again,
Joe

Wow, that is great that you were able to figure out how to reprogram the module! It is so nice to hear that once in a while the information here helps to get things done.
I guess the engineers don't split hairs too closesly when crossing model lines!

Hi,
Yea, I thought it was strange, I looked at the module under the seat from a 1996 rodeo that a freind has and the harness seems to be the same, so I'm assuming that you can interchange them, that's good as it's easier to find one in a salvage yard than a trooper if it goes bad, you just have to use the rodeo remotes. I don't know if it holds true for the 98 and up as they changed a few things and there is no button to program the remotes.
