Lost your key fob or need to program a new one for your 2004 GMC Yukon? Don’t worry, programming your key fob at home is a straightforward process that can save you time and money. This guide will walk you through the steps to program your 2004 Gmc Yukon Key Fob quickly and easily.
What You’ll Need
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
- Your 2004 GMC Yukon
- All the key fobs you wish to program (new and existing)
- Your ignition key
It’s important to have all remotes you want to use ready because this procedure will erase all previously programmed remotes. You must program all remotes in one session.
Programming Instructions for Your 2004 GMC Yukon Key Fob
Follow these step-by-step instructions to program your 2004 GMC Yukon key fob:
-
Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure all doors of your GMC Yukon are fully closed. Insert your ignition key into the ignition cylinder, but do not turn the key to start the engine.
-
Initiate Programming Mode: Press and HOLD the UNLOCK button located on the driver’s side door panel. Do not release the button yet.
-
Cycle Ignition: While holding the UNLOCK button, quickly turn the ignition key from the OFF position to the ON position and back to OFF twice in rapid succession. (ON is the position right before starting the engine).
-
Release Unlock Button: Release the UNLOCK button on the door. You should hear the door locks cycle (lock then unlock). This lock cycling indicates that your 2004 GMC Yukon has successfully entered key fob programming mode.
Troubleshooting: If the door locks cycle before you release the UNLOCK button, the programming mode has not been correctly entered. Return to step one and repeat the process carefully. If the locks continue to cycle prematurely, double-check that you are following each step precisely. If issues persist, there might be a problem with your vehicle’s keyless entry system.
-
Program First Key Fob: Immediately press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously on the first key fob you want to program. Continue holding both buttons until you hear the door locks cycle again. This might take longer when programming a new, unprogrammed remote (up to 5 minutes). A previously programmed remote will usually pair faster.
-
Program Additional Key Fobs (If Applicable): If you have more key fobs to program, repeat step 5 for each additional remote.
-
Exit Programming Mode: Turn the ignition key to the ON position once more. This action will exit the programming mode.
-
Test Your Key Fobs: Remove the key from the ignition and test all programmed key fobs to ensure they are working correctly by pressing the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons and verifying the vehicle responds.
