Programming Your 2002 Chevy Suburban Key Fob – Step-by-Step Instructions
Before you begin, ensure you have all the key fobs you intend to use with your 2002 Suburban, as this process will erase all previously programmed remotes. You will need to program all existing and new remotes during this session.
Here’s how to program your 2002 Suburban key fob:
-
Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure all doors of your 2002 Chevrolet Suburban are fully closed. Insert your key into the ignition, but do not turn the ignition on yet.
-
Engage the Unlock Button: Locate the UNLOCK button on the driver’s side door. Press and hold the UNLOCK button down. Do not release it until instructed in step 4.
-
Ignition Cycling: While holding the UNLOCK button, quickly turn the ignition key from the OFF position to the ON position and back to OFF twice in rapid succession. The “ON” position is just before you would start the engine.
-
Release Unlock Button and Wait for Lock Cycle: Release the UNLOCK button. You should hear the door locks cycle (lock then unlock). This lock cycling indicates that your 2002 Suburban has successfully entered programming mode.
Note: If the door locks cycle before you release the unlock button, the programming mode has not been correctly initiated. Restart from step one and ensure you follow each step precisely. If the locks continue to cycle prematurely, double-check that you are performing the procedure correctly or there may be an issue with your vehicle’s keyless entry system.
-
Program the First Key Fob: On the first key fob you wish to program, press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously. Continue holding both buttons until the vehicle responds again by cycling the door locks. This may take up to 5 minutes for a new, unprogrammed remote. Remotes previously paired with the vehicle will typically program more quickly.
-
Program Additional Key Fobs (If Applicable): If you have additional or existing key fobs to program, repeat step 5 immediately for each remote.
-
Exit Programming Mode: Turn the ignition key to the ON position. This action will exit the key fob programming mode.
-
Test Key Fobs: Programming is now complete. Test all programmed key fobs to ensure they are working correctly with your 2002 Chevrolet Suburban.
