How to Program a 2004 Mazda MPV Ignition Chip Key Transponder
Step by Step How to Programming Instructions:
If your Encore doesn’t have the Smart Key System, you will need to contact a locksmith to program your ignition key. If your Encore has the Smart Key System, follow the instructions below.
Programming with two programmed remotes:
A new remote can be programmed to the vehicle when there are two programmed remotes already. To program, the vehicle must be off and all remotes, both currently programmed and new, must be with you.
1. Place the two programmed remotes in the center console front cup holder.
2. Insert the vehicle key of the new remote into the key lock cylinder on the outside of the driver door and turn the key to the unlock position five times within 10 seconds. The Driver Information Center (DIC) displays “READY FOR REMOTE #2, 3, 4, or 5.”
3. Remove the two programmed remotes from the center console front cup holder.
4. Place the new transmitter in the front cup holder.
5. Press ENGINE START/STOP. When the remote is learned, the DIC will show that it is ready to program the next remote.
6. Remove the transmitter from the transmitter pocket and press unlock. To program additional transmitters, repeat Steps 4–6. When all additional remotes are programmed, press and hold ENGINE START/STOP for 10 seconds to exit programming mode.
Programming without two programmed remotes:
If two currently programmed remotes are not available, follow this procedure to program up to eight remotes. This feature is not available in Canada. This procedure will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. The vehicle must be off and all remotes to be programmed must be with you.
1. Insert the vehicle key of the remote into the key lock cylinder on the outside of the driver door and turn the key to the unlock position five times within 10 seconds. The Driver Information Center (DIC) displays “REMOTE LEARN PENDING, PLEASE WAIT.”
2. Wait for 10 minutes until the DIC displays “PRESS ENGINE START BUTTON TO LEARN” and then press ENGINE START/STOP. The DIC will again show “REMOTE LEARN PENDING, PLEASE WAIT.”
3. Repeat Step 2 two additional times. After the third time, all previously known remotes will no longer work with the vehicle. Remaining remotes can be relearned during the next steps. The DIC display should now show “READY FOR REMOTE #1.”
4. Place the new remote in the front cup holder.
5. Press ENGINE START/STOP. When the remote is learned, the DIC will show that it is ready to program the next remote.
6. Remove the remote from the cup holder and press unlock. To program additional remotes, repeat Steps 4–6. When all additional remotes are programmed, press and hold ENGINE START/STOP for 10 seconds to exit programming mode.
