Before you begin, gather all the key fobs you intend to program. This programming procedure will erase all previously programmed remotes, so you must program both your existing and any new remotes you want to use with your 2000 Buick Century during this session.
-
Prepare Your Vehicle: Ensure all doors of your 2000 Buick Century are fully closed. This is crucial for the programming sequence to initiate correctly.
-
Ignition Cycling: Insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the “ON” position (do not start the engine). Immediately turn the key back to the “OFF” position and remove the key from the ignition.
-
Initiate Programming Mode: Press and HOLD the “UNLOCK” button located on the driver’s side door panel. Do not release the unlock button throughout the next steps.
-
Key Insertion Sequence: While holding the “UNLOCK” button, perform the following key insertion sequence:
- Insert the key into the ignition and remove it.
- Insert the key into the ignition and remove it again.
- Insert the key into the ignition and leave it in the ignition cylinder (do not turn the key to any position).
-
Programming Confirmation: Release the “UNLOCK” button on the door. You should hear three chimes. These chimes indicate that your 2000 Buick Century has successfully entered the key fob programming mode.
-
Program Key Fobs: Take your first key fob remote. Press and hold both the “LOCK” and “UNLOCK” buttons simultaneously on the remote. After a few seconds, the vehicle should chime twice. These two chimes confirm that the key fob you just programmed has been successfully paired with your 2000 Buick Century. Repeat this step for any additional key fobs you wish to program.
