Lost your key fob or need to program a new one for your 2007 GMC Yukon Denali? Don’t worry, programming your key fob is a straightforward process you can complete at home without any special tools. This guide provides easy-to-follow instructions for programming your 2007 Yukon Denali Key Fob, ensuring you regain keyless entry and remote start functionality quickly.
There are two methods to program your 2007 Yukon Denali key fob, depending on whether your vehicle is equipped with Driver Information Center (DIC) buttons. Follow the instructions below that correspond to your vehicle’s features.
Method 1: For 2007 Yukon Denali Models With Driver Information Center Buttons
This procedure applies to 2007 Yukon Denali vehicles that have buttons on the steering wheel to navigate the Driver Information Center.
-
Ignition On: Insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the “ON” position. This is the position right before you would start the engine. Ensure you can access the Driver Information Center display on your dashboard.
-
Access Relearn Remote Key Menu: Press the “vehicle information” button (or buttons, depending on your specific Yukon Denali trim) repeatedly until you see “PRESS TO RELEARN REMOTE KEY” displayed in the Driver Information Center.
-
Initiate Learning Mode: Press the “set/reset” button (often a checkmark or similar symbol) until the Driver Information Center displays “REMOTE KEY LEARNING ACTIVE”. Your vehicle is now in programming mode and ready to learn the new key fob.
-
Program the First Key Fob: Take your first key fob remote. Simultaneously press and hold both the “lock” and “unlock” buttons. Continue holding them for approximately 15 seconds. After about 15 seconds, you should hear a chime sound. This chime indicates that the first key fob has been successfully programmed.
-
Program Additional Key Fobs (Optional): If you have additional 2007 Yukon Denali key fobs to program, repeat step 4 immediately. You can program up to a maximum of eight key fobs for your vehicle using this procedure.
-
Exit Programming Mode: Turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position and remove the key from the ignition.
-
Test Your Key Fobs: Thoroughly test all programmed key fobs to ensure they are working correctly. Check the lock, unlock, remote start (if applicable), and panic buttons to confirm proper functionality.
Method 2: For 2007 Yukon Denali Models Without Driver Information Center Buttons
If your 2007 Yukon Denali does not have Driver Information Center buttons on the steering wheel, use this method to program your key fob.
-
Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure your Yukon Denali is in “Park” (P) and the ignition key is in the “ON” position (as far as you can turn it without starting the engine).
-
Access Relearn Remote Key via Odometer Stem: Locate the trip odometer reset stem on your instrument panel. Press and release this stem repeatedly until “RELEARN REMOTE KEY” is displayed on the instrument cluster.
-
Enter Learning Mode: Press and hold the trip odometer reset stem for approximately three seconds. After holding for three seconds, the message “REMOTE KEY LEARNING ACTIVE” will appear, indicating the vehicle is ready to program a key fob.
-
Program the First Key Fob: Take your first keyless remote. Press and hold both the “lock” and “unlock” buttons simultaneously for about 15 seconds. A chime will sound after approximately 15 seconds, confirming that the key fob has been programmed.
-
Program Additional Key Fobs (Optional): If you have more 2007 Yukon Denali key fobs to program, repeat step 4 right away. You can program up to eight remotes in total.
-
Exit Programming Mode and Test: Turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position and remove the key. Test all programmed key fobs to verify they are working as expected, including all buttons like lock, unlock, and any other functions your key fob may have.
By following these step-by-step instructions, you can easily program your 2007 Yukon Denali key fob and regain the convenience of keyless entry and remote functions. If you encounter any difficulties, double-check each step and ensure you are following the correct procedure for your specific Yukon Denali model.
