Lost your 2009 Mazda 5 Key Fob or need to program a new one? Don’t worry, you can easily program a new key fob for your 2009 Mazda 5 right at home without a trip to the dealership. This guide provides simple, step-by-step instructions to get your keyless entry working again in minutes.
Step-by-Step Programming Guide for Your 2009 Mazda 5 Key Fob
Before you begin, ensure you have a compatible key fob for your 2009 Mazda 5. The correct part number for a replacement fob is KPU41788. This programming method is for standard keyless entry systems and may not work for smart keys, which typically require dealership programming.
Here’s how to program your 2009 Mazda 5 key fob:
-
Get Inside and Prepare: Close all doors on your Mazda 5, including the trunk or liftgate. Get into the driver’s seat and make sure the driver’s side door is open. This is crucial for initiating the programming sequence.
-
Ignition Cycling: Insert your key into the ignition. Turn the ignition from the “ON” position to the “OFF” position three times in quick succession. “ON” is when your dashboard lights up, and “OFF” is when the engine is off, but don’t start the car. This rapid cycling is the first step to entering programming mode.
-
Door Cycling: Next, you need to open and close the driver’s side door three times. Make sure you fully open and close the door each time. This door cycling action, combined with the ignition steps, signals to your Mazda 5 that you want to program a new key fob.
-
Confirmation of Programming Mode: If you’ve successfully completed steps 1-3, your Mazda 5 will confirm entry into programming mode by automatically cycling the door locks. You should hear the locks engage and disengage briefly. This lock cycling is your signal to proceed with programming your key fob.
-
Programming the First Key Fob: Take your first key fob remote that you want to program. Press the “LOCK” button on the fob twice. After pressing the “LOCK” button twice, the door locks on your Mazda 5 will cycle again to confirm that the key fob has been successfully programmed.
-
Programming Additional Key Fobs (Optional):
- For one key fob total: If you are only programming one key fob, after step 5, immediately press the “LOCK” button twice, two more times. The locks will cycle after each double press, confirming programming.
- For two key fobs total: If you have a second key fob to program, after completing step 5 with the first fob, immediately take your second key fob and press the “LOCK” button twice on it, two times. The locks will cycle after each double press, confirming programming of the second fob.
- For three key fobs total: If you have a third key fob, after programming the first two, take the third fob and press the “LOCK” button twice. The locks will cycle to confirm.
-
Programming Completion: After you have programmed all your key fobs (up to three), the programming process is complete. You can now test your newly programmed key fob to ensure it is working correctly by pressing the lock and unlock buttons.
These instructions should allow you to easily program your 2009 Mazda 5 key fob. By following these steps carefully, you can save time and money by avoiding a trip to the dealership for key fob programming. Enjoy the convenience of keyless entry once again!
