Default Camaro 1997 Remote Keyless Entry Verification

I follow my manual for changing mode,but nothing happen. I press and hold the LOCK standing outside the car. The car locks, and he parking lights flash + horn sound once. That's all. What do I miss? Seems like I doesn't come into programing mode.

INSTRUCTION IN MANUAL

Your vehicle comes with this feature set in Mode 5. This means that when you use the key chain transmitter to lockhnlock your vehicle, your parking lamps will flash briefly upon the first push on LOCK. Your horn will sound briefly, your parking lamps will flash briefly upon the second push on LOCK and your parking lamps will flash briefly upon any push on UNLOCK.

To change the factory setting, do the following: 1. Press the UNLOCK switch on the Remote Keyless Entry transmitter. 2. Count the number of chimes you hear. The number of chimes tells you which mode your vehicle is set for. 3. Press the UNLOCK switch on the Remote Keyless Entry transmitter until you hear the number of chimes that correspond to the mode selection you want.

Mode 1: All Off (The headlamps will not flash and the horn will not sound to provide you feedback that a lockhnlock command has been received by the Remote Keyless Entry transmitter). Mode 2: Horn and Lamps/Lamps (Your horn will sound briefly and your parlung lamps will flash when you press LOCK on the key chain transmitter. Only your parking lamps will flash when you press UNLOCK). Mode 3: Horn and Lamps (Your horn will sound briefly and your parking lamps will flash every time you push LOCK and UNLOCK). Mode 4: Lamps (Your parking lamps will flash every time you push LOCK and UNLOCK). Mode 5: Lamps/Horn and LampsLamps (Your lamps will flash upon the first push on LOCK, your lamps will flash and your horn will sound upon the second push on LOCK and your lamps will flash upon any push on UNLOCK).

Have you pulled the radio fuse that allows the system to go into program mode? I'll have to look to see if the service manual gives more information than the owners manual.

It sounds like the system is not in the programming mode. The owners manual on 2-19 describes how to do this. I have copied and pasted the process below.

To program features, your vehicle must be in the
programming mode. Follow these steps:
1. Put your key in the ignition.
2. Turn the ignition to the RUN position to disarm the
Vehicle and Content Theft-Deterrent / Alarm System.
3. Turn the ignition to theOFF position.
4. Remove the RADIO fuse. This fuse is in the main
fuse block, located on the left sideof your
instrument panel. When the main fuse block is open,
the RADIO fuse is located in thelower right hand
corner of the fuse panel. See “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers’’ in the Index.
5, Turn the ignition to the ACC position.
You should hear a chime to verify that the system is
in programming mode, If the chime sounds once,
you will be able to program Exit Lighting, Delayed
Illumination, Last Door Closed Locking and Lockout
Prevention only. If the chime sounds twice and your
vehicle is equipped with the Vehicle and Content
Theft-Deterrent System, you will also be able to set
Remote Keyless Entry Verification, Arming Method,
Arming Verification, Driver’s Door Delay and Shock
Sensor Enable.

Thank you for your answer! No I didn't. I thought it was only if I wanted to pair new keys, not for changing Keyless Entry Verification.
