Is your 2010 GMC Yukon key fob not working, or did you get a replacement and need to program it? Don’t worry, programming your key fob for a 2010 GMC Yukon is a straightforward process you can do yourself. This guide provides simple, step-by-step instructions for programming your 2010 GMC Yukon key fob, whether your vehicle is equipped with a driver information center or not.
Procedure 1: For 2010 GMC Yukon Models With Driver Information Center
If your 2010 GMC Yukon has a driver information center, you can easily program your key fob using the following procedure. Vehicles with this feature will have buttons on the steering wheel, including one with an “i” symbol.
- Ignition On: Insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the “on” position. Do not start the engine.
- Access Relearn Remote Key: Press the “Information” button on your steering wheel repeatedly until you see “Relearn Remote Key” displayed on the driver information screen.
- Initiate Learning Mode: Press and hold the “set/reset” button (often marked with a checkmark symbol) until “Remote Key Learning Active” appears on the display. The vehicle is now in key fob programming mode.
- Program Key Fob: Immediately press and hold both the “Lock” and “Unlock” buttons on the key fob you wish to program. Continue holding until the vehicle chimes twice. This chime indicates successful programming of that key fob.
- Program Additional Remotes (If Needed): If you have additional key fobs (new or existing) to program, repeat step 4 for each one. It’s crucial to program all remotes you intend to use at this time, as programming a new remote may erase previously programmed ones if not done in the same session.
- Exit Programming Mode: Turn the ignition key to the “off” position. This will exit the key fob programming mode. Test all programmed key fobs to ensure they are working correctly with your 2010 GMC Yukon.
Procedure 2: For 2010 GMC Yukon Models Without Driver Information Center
For 2010 GMC Yukon models that are not equipped with a driver information center, use this procedure to program your key fob.
- Ignition On: Insert the ignition key and turn it to the “on” position, without starting the engine.
- Access Relearn Remote Key: Press and release the trip odometer reset button (located near the instrument cluster) repeatedly until “Relearn Remote Key” is displayed in the instrument panel.
- Initiate Learning Mode: Press and hold the trip odometer reset button until “Remote Key Learning Active” is displayed. The vehicle is now ready to learn the key fob signal.
- Program Key Fob: Press and hold the “Lock” and “Unlock” buttons simultaneously on the key fob you are programming. Hold the buttons until the vehicle emits two chimes, signaling successful programming.
- Program Additional Remotes (If Needed): If you have more key fobs to program, repeat step 4 for each additional remote, including any previously working remotes. All remotes must be programmed in this session to ensure they all function.
- Exit Programming Mode: Turn the ignition key to the “off” position to exit the programming mode. Test all programmed key fobs to confirm they are now operating your 2010 GMC Yukon’s remote functions.
Important Note: If you encounter any issues or find that some of your key fobs are no longer working after programming, remember step 5. It is essential to program all of your key fobs during a single programming session to ensure each one is recognized by your 2010 GMC Yukon.
By following these procedures, you should be able to program your 2010 GMC Yukon key fob quickly and easily, regaining full remote access to your vehicle.
