⚙️ How to Correctly Program the Remote on Alex ESD:

Step-by-step:

  1. Ignition Key OFF
    (System must not be active — key off.)
  2. Locate the ESD Electronic Control Box
    (It’s the black box with jumper pins labeled J1 and J2.)
  3. Remove the programming jumper from its normal storage location.
  4. Insert the jumper into J1 (Door Handle Programming Mode).
  5. Hold the sliding door handle in the open position for ~3 seconds.
    • You should see LED 1 flash once to confirm.
  6. Remove the jumper after LED flashes.
    • Important: Remove it within 15 seconds to avoid timeout.
  7. Now reinsert the jumper to its “OPEN/FULL” storage socket (typically near the side of the control box).

🚪 Door Handle Test:

  • Pull inside or outside handle gently — door should now command open/close.
  • (If it still doesn’t, microswitch wiring or adjustment might need to be checked.)

📋 Common Mistakes That Cause Programming to Fail:

MistakeWhat Happens
Not holding door handle long enough during J1No LED confirmation, programming doesn’t lock
