Is your 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe key fob not working? Don’t worry, programming a new or replacement key fob for your vehicle can often be done easily at home. This guide provides simple, step-by-step instructions to program your 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe key fob yourself.
Step-by-Step Programming Instructions
Follow these steps carefully to program your 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe key fob:
-
Locate the Alarm Control Module: First, you’ll need to access the alarm system control module. This is typically located under the steering column. Remove the plate covering this area to access the module. On the module, find the memory switch and turn it to the “Off” position. The control module is often a black box situated behind and below the fuse box, near the hood release lever. It’s important to note that while some models might have remote start features as shown in the image below, your 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe security system control module will be clearly marked “security system”.
-
Prepare the Vehicle: Insert your key into the ignition of your 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe and turn it to the “On” position. Make sure you do not start the engine, just turn the key to the position right before starting.
-
Set the Memory Switch: Wait for approximately 5 seconds after turning the ignition to the “On” position. Then, locate the memory switch on the alarm control module again and switch it to the “Set” position. Note: Some 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe models may not require the key to be in the ignition before you set the memory switch. If this method doesn’t work initially, try setting the memory switch to “Set” without the key in the ignition.
-
Program Key Fobs: Take your 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe key fob that you wish to program. Press the “lock” button on the key fob. If you have additional key fobs you want to program at the same time, press the “lock” button on each of them as well.
-
Finalize Programming: Return to the alarm control module and switch the memory switch back to the “Off” position. Turn the ignition off and remove the key from your 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe.
-
Test and Reassemble: Reinstall the plate that covers the alarm system control under the steering column. Now, test all programmed key fobs to ensure they are working correctly with your 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe.
