Mitsubishi keyless remote programming instructions:

Programming:

(Note: Entering new remote transmitter codes will erase all old codes.
All
remote transmitters must be programmed together.)

-Ensure ignition switched OFF.

-Access data link connector (DLC) located behind fascia.

-Jump DLC terminal 1 and ground.
(Note: Terminal 1 may also be grounded using diagnostic equipment connected to the DLC.)

-Within 10 seconds: Press hazard switch six times.

-Doors should lock and unlock to confirm registration mode.

-Press and release remote transmitter LOCK button.

-Within 10 seconds: Press remote transmitter LOCK button twice.

-Doors should lock and unlock to confirm registration.

-If registering additional remote transmitters, within 1 minute: Repeat button procedure for each remote transmitter.

-Doors should lock and unlock to confirm registration.

Note: To exit programming mode: Remove key from ignition or remove jump lead.

Note: A maximum of 4 remote transmitters can be programmed.

This is for the 2002 Mitsubishi Galant ES. I am not sure about other models this will work with. Possibly the 2001 Galant?
Other Keyless programming instructions I have are for the 3000gt. So PM me if you need those.

Not all cars use the same remotes. Some even look identical, The difference is the manufacturer of the remote was different on different models during different years. Some are Denso and some are omron. This programming sequence will work on any 99-03 Galant or 00-05 Eclipse.

Hi;

I just did the programing on my 2003 Galant and your instructions worked except the part (ensure ignition switch is off), my ignition switch had to be "on". I programmed 2 remotes and they both work great. Thanks for the instructions.

hi i was wongering if you ever find out what "-Jump DLC terminal 1 and ground.
(Note: Terminal 1 may also be grounded using diagnostic equipment connected to the DLC.)" meant? if so can you please let me know and how to do it. Thanks

Ground is on pin 4 so you can connect pin 1 and 4 or somewhere on chassis

If you want to reprogram a remote key for a mitsubishi magna or verada you can follow the instructions here.

Same for me. Make sure ignition is "ON".
Worked like a charm. :banana:
I wasted 15 minutes trying to make it work with ignition off.
Thanks for your posting.

By the way everyone. A paper clip will work for connecting pins 1 and 4.

Peace!

Hello,

I have a few questions about these instructions and the remote in general.

First, I just replaced my battery in my remote for the first time and now the remote doesn't work at all.
A few caveats: I left the battery out of the remote for a couple of hours before putting in the new one (in case that makes a difference between a momentary memory of the programming)
Also, I left the remote in pieces for the same amount of time. I didn't think about an issue of frying the circuit board, in case that is what happened.

So, my question is, based on the above information, is it possible that the remote doesn't work simply because it needs to be reprogrammed?

Also, on the instructions themselves - I don't totally understand some of the steps. First, where is the DLC terminal? Second, how do I ground/jump from each terminal?
Also, the "hazard switch", is that on the DLC? or does that mean the panic button on the remote. In which case, mine doesn't have a panic button, it goes into panic mode if I press lock after it is already locked.

Thanks for the help! I sure hope I didn't fry this remote!

Yeah, your remote needs to be reprogrammed. No, your circuit board should not be fried unless you did something very strange.

The DLC is the port under your dash to the right of your right leg... it's black in color. There are 16 contacts as in the diagram posted previously. I have redrawn it for clarity.

Short Side

To jump Pin 1 to ground, unbend a paperclip to insert into contact #4 and connect the other end into contact #1.

The "hazard switch" is the button between the two center air vents above the radio. It controls your hazard lights. Press this 6 times within 10 seconds of jumping pin 1 and 4. This has nothing to do with a panic button. Doors will lock and unlock as a sign that the car is waiting for a signal from your remote.

Hope this helps.

OK, so I also have a 2003 Galant. Success!

In case you can't find the DLC, it's right above the gas pedal, on the underside of the dash.

It looks like this.

Misc notes as I followed Hansel's procedure:

I also found that (for my car atleast) key had to be on the ON position.

I pressed the hazard button 6 times, which is equiv to turning it on and off 3 times.

It has to be done in rapid succession...>10 seconds. Also, on the first try I realized I had my paperclip in the wrong slots of the DLC, so use the diagram and help above in determining positions 1 and 4. My DLC was upside from these diagrams, so actually the bottom right position was 1.

Also, I replaced the battery before trying to activate the clicker...If you can't get anything to work, replace the battery on the clicker.

Hope this helps! I am so happy to be $50 richer and have a working clicker! Thanks everyone!!
