Step-by-Step Programming Guide
Here is the process to program your 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 key fob:
-
Ensure all doors of your Chevy Silverado are completely closed. This is crucial for the programming sequence to initiate correctly.
-
Insert the ignition key into the ignition cylinder of your Silverado.
-
Press and HOLD the power UNLOCK button located on the driver’s side door panel. Maintain pressure on this button throughout the initial steps until step 9 instructs you to release it.
-
The next steps (5 through 8) need to be performed in quick succession. Be prepared to execute them swiftly.
-
Turn the ignition key to the ON position. This is the position just before you would crank the engine to start.
-
Turn the ignition key back to the OFF position.
-
Again, turn the ignition key to the ON position.
-
Turn the ignition key back to the OFF position one last time.
-
Release the power UNLOCK button on the driver’s door panel. Upon releasing the button, you should hear the vehicle automatically cycle the door locks, locking and then unlocking. This confirms that the system has entered programming mode.
-
Immediately press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously on the key fob transmitter that you are programming. 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 ones) that you want to program, repeat step 10 immediately for each additional transmitter. It’s important to program all remotes you intend to use in this session.
-
To finalize the programming and exit the transmitter programming mode, turn the ignition switch to the ON position one last time.
Congratulations! You have now successfully programmed your 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 key fob. Test the key fob to ensure the lock and unlock buttons are functioning correctly with your vehicle. If you encounter any issues, double-check each step to ensure it was performed accurately.
