Is your 2002 Chevy Silverado key fob not working? Or perhaps you’ve acquired a new key fob and need to get it programmed to your vehicle? Don’t worry, programming your key fob for a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado is a straightforward process you can accomplish right at home, without needing a trip to the dealership. This guide will walk you through each step to get your key fob working seamlessly with your Silverado’s remote entry system.
Here’s how to program your 2002 Chevy Silverado key fob:
-
Ensure all doors of your Chevy Silverado are completely closed. This is crucial for the programming sequence to initiate correctly.
-
Insert your key into the ignition cylinder. Be ready to follow the next steps in quick succession.
-
Press and hold down the power UNLOCK button located on the driver’s side door panel. Keep holding this button down until step 9 instructs you to release it.
-
Now, you will need to perform steps 5 through 8 in a rapid manner. This timing is important for the programming to be successful.
-
Turn the ignition key to the ON position. This is the position just before you would start the engine, where the dashboard lights illuminate.
-
Turn the ignition key back to the OFF position.
-
Again, turn the ignition key to the ON position.
-
Turn the ignition key back to the OFF position one last time.
-
Release the power unlock button on the door panel. Upon releasing the button, you should hear the vehicle automatically cycle the door locks, locking and then unlocking. This indicates that the system has entered programming mode.
-
Immediately take the key fob transmitter you wish to program. Press and hold down both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously on the key fob. Continue holding both buttons until you hear the door locks cycle again (lock and unlock). This step may take up to 30 seconds, so be patient and keep holding the buttons.
-
If you have additional key fobs to program, repeat step 10 immediately for each additional transmitter, including any previously working key fobs. It’s important to program all fobs you intend to use in one programming session.
-
To exit the key fob programming mode, simply turn the ignition switch to the ON position once more.
By following these steps, you should have successfully programmed your 2002 Chevy Silverado key fob. Test all the buttons on your fob to ensure they are working correctly with your vehicle’s locking and unlocking system. If you encounter any issues, double-check each step and ensure the timing was followed accurately. For replacement key fobs and further assistance, visit KeylessEntryRemoteFob.com.
