Lost your key fob or need to program a new remote for your 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix? Programming your key fob at home is easier than you might think, and this guide will walk you through each step. Before you begin, ensure you have all the key fobs you intend to use with your vehicle, as programming a new fob will erase previously programmed remotes. Let’s get started and get you back in control of your Pontiac Grand Prix keyless entry.
Programming Steps for Your 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix Key Fob
Follow these instructions carefully to program your 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix key fob:
- Begin by removing the ignition key from your Pontiac Grand Prix.
- Make sure all doors of your vehicle are completely closed.
- Locate and remove the “MALL PGM” fuse from your Pontiac Grand Prix’s fuse panel. Refer to the fuse panel diagram, usually found on the panel cover or in your owner’s manual, to pinpoint the correct fuse.
- Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the “ACC” (Accessory) position.
- Cycle the ignition key from “OFF” to “ACC” and back to “OFF” again to “ACC” within a very short timeframe (less than 1 second).
- Open and then close any door on your Pontiac Grand Prix. Upon successfully entering programming mode, you will hear an audible chime.
- Now, take the first key fob you wish to program. Simultaneously press and hold down both the “LOCK” and “UNLOCK” buttons on the remote for approximately 14 seconds. It’s important to continue holding both buttons for the full duration. You might hear a chime around 7 seconds, indicating synchronization, but continue holding until you hear a second chime at approximately 14 seconds to confirm successful programming.
- If you have additional key fobs to program, including any existing remotes you want to continue using, repeat step 7 immediately for each of them.
- Once you have programmed all desired key fobs, remove the key from the ignition of your Pontiac Grand Prix.
- Finally, return to the fuse panel and reinstall the “MALL PGM” fuse. Test each of your programmed remotes to ensure they are working correctly with your 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix.
