Step-by-Step 2006 Trailblazer Key Fob Programming Instructions
Before you begin, ensure you have all your key fobs that you wish to program, as you will need to program all of them in one session. Here’s how to program your 2006 Chevy Trailblazer key fob:
-
Close all doors of your Chevrolet Trailblazer to ensure proper programming.
-
Insert the ignition key into the ignition cylinder of your Trailblazer.
-
Press and HOLD the power UNLOCK button located on the driver’s side door panel. Do not release the button until instructed in step 9.
-
Perform the following steps in quick succession. Timing is important for the system to enter programming mode.
-
Turn the ignition key to the ON position. This is the position right before you would start the engine.
-
Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
-
Turn the ignition key back to the ON position.
-
Turn the ignition key again to the OFF position.
-
Release the power UNLOCK button on the driver’s door panel. Listen carefully for the vehicle to respond by automatically cycling the door locks, locking and then unlocking. This indicates that your 2006 Trailblazer has successfully entered programming mode. If the locks do not cycle, remove the key, open the driver’s door, and repeat from step 1.
-
Immediately press and HOLD both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously on the first key fob you are programming. Continue holding both buttons until you hear the door locks cycle again. This may take up to 30 seconds.
-
Repeat step 10 for every additional key fob, including any existing remotes you want to continue using. You must program all key fobs you intend to use during this single programming session.
-
Turn the ignition key to the ON position one last time to exit the key fob programming mode.
-
Test each programmed key fob to ensure they are working correctly by pressing the lock and unlock buttons to verify the doors respond.
