Losing or damaging your key fob can be a real hassle, but needing to reprogram a new or existing key fob for your 2007 GMC Yukon doesn’t have to be. As a seasoned auto repair expert at keyfobprog.com, I’m here to guide you through the process with these straightforward, DIY programming instructions. Forget expensive dealership visits; with these methods, you can get your 2007 Yukon key fob programmed quickly and efficiently right at home.
This guide provides two procedures, ensuring compatibility whether your Yukon is equipped with a driver information center (DIC) or not. Let’s get started and regain the convenience of your keyless entry system!
Procedure #1: For 2007 Yukon Models With Driver Information Center (DIC)
Is your 2007 Yukon equipped with a driver information center? You can easily identify this by checking your steering wheel for buttons, specifically one with an “i” symbol. If you see this button, follow these steps to program your key fob:
-
Ignition Activation: Insert your key into the ignition. Turn the key to the “ON” position. It’s crucial not to start the engine at this stage. Just turn the key enough to power the vehicle’s electronics.
-
Access Relearn Remote Key Menu: Locate the “Information” button on your steering wheel (the button with the “i”). Press this button repeatedly until the Driver Information Center display shows the message “Relearn Remote Key.”
-
Initiate Learning Mode: Once “Relearn Remote Key” is displayed, press and release the “set/reset” button. This button usually has a checkmark symbol. Pressing it will confirm your selection and change the display to “Remote Key Learning Active.” Your Yukon is now in programming mode, ready to learn your key fob signal.
-
Program Key Fob: Take the key fob you wish to program. Simultaneously press and hold both the “Lock” and “Unlock” buttons on the fob. Keep them pressed until the vehicle emits two audible chimes. These chimes are your confirmation that the key fob has been successfully programmed.
-
Program Additional Remotes (If Necessary): If you have additional key fobs (new or existing) that you want to work with your 2007 Yukon, repeat step 4 immediately for each fob. It’s important to program all desired remotes in this step, as the system will only remember the remotes programmed during this session.
-
Exit Programming Mode: To finalize the programming, turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position. This action will automatically exit the key fob programming mode. Test all programmed key fobs to ensure they are working correctly with your 2007 Yukon.
Procedure #2: For 2007 Yukon Models Without Driver Information Center (DIC)
If your 2007 Yukon does not have the driver information center buttons on the steering wheel, don’t worry. You can still program your key fob using a slightly different procedure that utilizes the trip odometer reset button. Here’s how:
-
Ignition Activation: Just like in Procedure #1, insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the “ON” position. Do not start the car.
-
Access Relearn Remote Key Menu: Locate the trip odometer reset button, usually found on the instrument panel cluster. Press and release this button repeatedly until the Driver Information Center (on the odometer display) shows “Relearn Remote Key.”
-
Initiate Learning Mode: Once “Relearn Remote Key” is displayed, press and hold the trip odometer reset button until the display changes to “Remote Key Learning Active.” Keep holding the button until you see this message. The vehicle is now ready to learn the key fob signal.
-
Program Key Fob: Take the key fob to be programmed. Press and hold both the “Lock” and “Unlock” buttons simultaneously until the vehicle chimes twice. These chimes confirm successful programming of the key fob.
-
Program Additional Remotes (If Necessary): If you have more key fobs to program, immediately repeat step 4 for each additional remote. Remember to program all desired remotes in one session.
-
Exit Programming Mode: Turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position to exit the programming mode. Test all programmed remotes to ensure they properly operate your 2007 Yukon’s remote functions.
Important Note: If you find that some of your previously working remotes have stopped functioning after programming a new one, it’s essential to understand that you must program ALL remotes you intend to use during step 4 of either procedure. The system resets the memory during programming, so only the remotes programmed in the current session will be recognized.
Having trouble with the programming process? Or perhaps you’d prefer a professional to handle your 2007 Yukon Key Fob Programming? You can easily search for a qualified key fob installer in your local area using online directories. This can be a convenient option to ensure seamless programming and operation of your key fobs.
