Step-by-Step Programming Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to program your 2010 Acura TL key fob. Make sure all doors, the hood, and the trunk lid are closed throughout this process. It’s crucial to maintain the timing between each step, so be ready to act promptly.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (II).
  2. Within 1 to 4 seconds, press the lock or unlock button on your key fob. Aim the transmitter towards the keyless receiver unit, located behind the driver’s side dashboard.
  3. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
  4. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch back to the ON position (II).
  5. Within 1 to 4 seconds, press the lock or unlock button on your key fob again, aiming at the receiver unit.
  6. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
  7. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch to the ON position (II) once more.
  8. Within 1 to 4 seconds, press the lock or unlock button on your key fob, again pointing it at the receiver.
  9. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
  10. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch to the ON position (II) for the final time in this sequence.
  11. Within 1 to 4 seconds, press the lock or unlock button on your key fob, aiming at the keyless receiver.
  12. Listen for the sound of the door lock actuators. You should hear them within 1 to 4 seconds, indicating programming mode is active. Immediately push the lock or unlock button again to confirm, or the code will not be stored.
  13. Within 10 seconds, if you have additional key fobs to program (up to two more), aim each transmitter at the receiver and press the lock or unlock button. Listen for the door lock actuators to confirm each key fob is successfully programmed.
  14. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and remove the key from the ignition.

Important Note: Once you enter programming mode, you must press the remote button a second time as instructed in step 12. If you miss pressing the button or turn the ignition switch OFF prematurely, the programming sequence for all remotes will be cancelled, and you’ll need to start over.

By following these steps, you should be able to program your 2010 Acura TL key fob and regain control over your vehicle’s keyless entry system. If you encounter any issues, double-check each step and timing, or consider consulting your Acura owner’s manual or a professional locksmith.
