Lost or need to replace your 2008 Pontiac G6 Gt Key Fob? Facing a hefty locksmith bill can be frustrating. Fortunately, programming a new key fob for your 2008 Pontiac G6 GT can be done at home with a simple procedure, potentially saving you significant money. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to program your key fob yourself.
Programming Your 2008 Pontiac G6 GT Key Fob – Step-by-Step
Before you begin, ensure you have all the key fobs you intend to use with your vehicle, as the programming process will erase all previously programmed fobs. You will need to reprogram all of them, both old and new, during this procedure.
Here’s how to program your 2008 Pontiac G6 GT key fob:
- Get into your Pontiac G6 GT and sit in the driver’s seat. Some users find it easier to perform these steps from the front passenger seat.
- Remove the ignition key from the ignition lock cylinder if it is inserted.
- Close all doors of your 2008 Pontiac G6 GT.
- Locate the fuse panel and remove the MALL PGM fuse. Refer to your vehicle’s owner manual for the exact location of the fuse panel and the MALL PGM fuse.
- Turn the ignition lock cylinder to the ACC (Accessory) position.
- Turn the ignition lock cylinder OFF, and then back to the ACC position again within one second. This needs to be a quick OFF-ACC sequence.
- Open and then close any vehicle door. Upon completing this step, you should hear a chime. This chime indicates that the remote control door lock receiver has entered the programming/diagnostic mode. If you do not hear a chime, restart the procedure from step 1.
- Press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the key fob simultaneously for approximately 14 seconds. After about 7 seconds you might hear a chime confirming synchronization, continue holding until you hear a second chime at approximately 14 seconds confirming successful programming.
- Repeat step 8 for each additional key fob you need to program. Ensure you program all fobs at this time.
- Remove the ignition key from the ignition lock cylinder.
- Reinstall the MALL PGM fuse back into its original location in the fuse panel.
- Test all programmed key fobs to ensure they are working correctly with your 2008 Pontiac G6 GT’s keyless entry system.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully program your 2008 Pontiac G6 GT key fob without the need for special tools or a locksmith. This DIY approach can save you both time and money, getting you back on the road quickly with a functioning key fob.
