Lost your key fob or need to program a new one for your 2010 Buick Enclave? Don’t worry, programming your key fob can often be done right at home, saving you a trip to the dealership. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for programming your 2010 Buick Enclave key fob, whether your vehicle is equipped with a Driver Information Center (DIC) or not.
Procedure #1: For Vehicles With a Driver Information Center (DIC)
If your 2010 Buick Enclave has a Driver Information Center, indicated by buttons with an “i” symbol on your steering wheel, follow these steps to program your key fob:
-
Ignition On: Insert your key into the ignition. Turn the key to the “on” position. This means turning the key forward enough to power the car’s electronics, but do not start the engine.
-
Access Relearn Remote Key Menu: Use the “Information” button on your steering wheel. Press this button repeatedly until you see “Relearn Remote Key” displayed on the DIC screen.
-
Initiate Learning Mode: Once “Relearn Remote Key” is displayed, press the “set/reset” button. This button usually has a checkmark symbol. Press it until the DIC screen shows “Remote key learning Active.” The vehicle is now in programming mode and ready to learn the new key fob.
-
Program the Key Fob: Take the key fob you wish to program. Press and hold both the “Lock” and “Unlock” buttons simultaneously. Continue holding them until the vehicle’s chime sounds twice. This chime confirms that the key fob has been successfully programmed. If you have additional key fobs to program, repeat this step now for each one.
-
Exit Programming Mode: Turn the ignition key to the “off” position. This will exit the key fob programming mode. Test each programmed key fob to ensure it correctly locks and unlocks your doors and starts your vehicle.
Procedure #2: For Vehicles Without a Driver Information Center
If your 2010 Buick Enclave does not have the Driver Information Center buttons on the steering wheel, you will use the trip odometer reset button to enter programming mode. Here’s how:
-
Ignition On (No Start): Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the “On” position, just as in Procedure #1. Do not start the engine.
-
Access Relearn Remote Key via Odometer Reset: Locate the trip odometer reset button, usually found on the instrument panel near the speedometer. Press and release this button repeatedly until the display shows “Relearn Remote Key.”
-
Activate Learning Mode: Press and hold the trip odometer reset button. Keep holding it down until the display changes to “Remote Key Learning Active.” The vehicle is now ready to learn your key fob signal.
-
Program Key Fob(s): Take the key fob you are programming. Press and hold the “Lock” and “Unlock” buttons at the same time. Hold them until you hear the vehicle chime twice. This indicates successful programming of that key fob. Repeat this step for any additional key fobs you need to program.
-
Finish Programming: Turn the ignition key to the “off” position to exit the programming sequence. Test all programmed key fobs to verify they are working correctly with your 2010 Buick Enclave.
