Programming Your 2002 Chevy Silverado Key Fob: A Simple Guide
Follow these steps carefully to program your 2002 Chevy Silverado key fob. Ensure you have your key and the new key fob ready before you begin.

-
Insert your ignition key into the ignition cylinder of your Silverado.
-
Press and HOLD the power UNLOCK button located on the driver’s side door panel. Keep holding this button down throughout the next several steps until step 9 instructs you to release it.
-
Perform the following steps in rapid succession: These steps need to be done quickly to enter programming mode.
-
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. This is the position right before you would start the engine. The dashboard lights should illuminate.

Turn the ignition switch back to the OFF position.
-
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position again.
-
Turn the ignition switch back to the OFF position one more time.
-
Release the power UNLOCK button on the driver’s door panel. Upon releasing the button, you should hear the vehicle doors automatically lock and then unlock. This confirms that you have successfully entered the key fob programming mode.
-
Immediately press and HOLD both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the new key fob transmitter simultaneously. Continue holding both buttons until you hear the door locks cycle again (lock and unlock). This step may take up to 30 seconds, so be patient and keep holding the buttons.

If you have additional key fobs (including any existing fobs you want to continue using), repeat step 10 NOW for each additional transmitter. Make sure to program all key fobs you intend to use during this programming session.
