Is your 2006 Gmc Envoy Key Fob not working? Perhaps you’ve purchased a new remote and need to get it programmed. Luckily, programming a key fob for your 2006 GMC Envoy is a straightforward process you can often do yourself at home. This guide from the experts at keyfobprog.com will walk you through each step to get your key fob working again in no time.
Before you begin, it’s important to understand a couple of things. This programming procedure will erase all previously programmed remotes. Therefore, you’ll need to program all the remotes you plan to use with your Envoy at the same time, both new and existing ones. Make sure you have all your remotes ready before starting.
Here’s how to program your 2006 GMC Envoy key fob:
Step 1: Vehicle Preparation
Begin by ensuring all doors of your 2006 GMC Envoy are fully closed. Insert your key into the ignition, but do not turn it on yet.
Step 2: Initiate Programming Mode
This step requires a specific sequence using the driver’s side door UNLOCK button and the ignition key:
- Press and HOLD the UNLOCK button located on the driver’s side door panel. Keep holding it throughout the next steps until instructed to release.
- While holding the UNLOCK button, quickly turn the ignition key from the OFF position to the ON position and back to OFF twice. “ON” is the position right before starting the engine; “OFF” is where you can remove the key. Do this quickly, turning it ON, OFF, ON, OFF.
- RELEASE the UNLOCK button.
If you’ve successfully entered programming mode, the door locks will cycle from lock to unlock automatically. This indicates that your 2006 GMC Envoy is now ready to learn the new key fob programming.
Step 3: Program Your Remotes
Now it’s time to program each of your 2006 GMC Envoy key fobs:
- On the first key fob you want to program, press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously.
- Continue holding both buttons until the vehicle responds by cycling the door locks again. This might take up to 5 minutes if you are programming a brand-new, unprogrammed remote. Remotes that have been previously paired may program more quickly.
- Repeat step 1 and 2 for each additional key fob you need to program, including any existing remotes you want to continue using.
Step 4: Exit Programming Mode and Test
To finalize the programming and exit programming mode:
- Turn the ignition key to the ON position. This will automatically exit the programming mode.
- Remove the key from the ignition.
- Test all of your programmed key fobs to ensure they are working correctly by pressing the lock and unlock buttons and verifying the vehicle responds.
Troubleshooting
- Locks Cycle Before Releasing Unlock Button: If the door locks cycle before you release the UNLOCK button in Step 4 of “Initiate Programming Mode,” the programming has not worked, and your vehicle is not in programming mode. You will need to repeat the procedure from Step 1.
- Locks Continue to Cycle Prematurely: If the locks continue to cycle before you release the unlock button even after repeating the steps, double-check that you are following the procedure exactly. If the problem persists, there may be an issue with your vehicle’s keyless entry system, and professional diagnosis might be needed.
