Lost your key fob or need to program a new one for your 2002 Buick Century? No need to rush to a dealership and spend a fortune. Programming your key fob for your 2002 Buick Century can be done right in your driveway with a few simple steps. This guide will walk you through the process, ensuring you can regain keyless entry and the convenience it offers in no time.
Before you begin the programming sequence for your 2002 Buick Century key fob, it’s crucial to gather all the remotes you intend to use with your vehicle. This is because the programming process will erase all previously stored codes. Any key fobs not programmed during this session will no longer work.
Step-by-Step Programming Instructions for Your 2002 Buick Century Key Fob
Follow these straightforward steps to program your 2002 Buick Century key fob:
- Ensure all vehicle doors are closed properly.
- Insert your key into the ignition. Turn the ignition to the ON position, which is as far as you can turn the key without starting the engine.
- Turn the ignition back to the OFF position and remove the key from the ignition.
- Press and hold the driver’s side door lock switch in the UNLOCK position. Maintain pressure on the switch throughout the next steps.
- Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder and then immediately remove it. Do not turn the key at any point during this step.
- Repeat step 5 two more times. Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder and remove it again, and then repeat one last time.
- Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder for the final time and leave it there. Do not turn the key.
- Release the door lock switch. At this point, your Buick Century should sound three beeps. These beeps indicate that the vehicle has successfully entered the key fob programming mode.
- Take your first key fob remote. Press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously. Keep holding them until the vehicle beeps twice. These two beeps confirm that the key fob transmitter has been successfully programmed. This may take around 15 seconds.
- If you have additional key fobs to program, repeat step 9 for each one. You can program up to a total of four key fobs, including any existing ones you want to continue using.
- Once you have programmed all desired key fobs, remove the ignition key from the ignition lock cylinder. This action will exit the programming mode.
Now you can test each of your programmed key fobs to ensure they are working correctly with your 2002 Buick Century’s remote keyless entry system. Enjoy the convenience of your programmed key fobs!
