If you have a 2007-2014 GMT900 based truck you'll likely be able to skip the expensive OEM key and get a replacement key fob for less than $20 and program it for free. However, some vehicles from 2011 and up need the dealer tool to reprogram.
(Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Avalanche, Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Denali, GMC Yukon, GMC Sierra, Cadillac Escalade)
It's as easy as buying a replacement key fob or two, hopping in the truck and pressing a few buttons.

@WildMountainGarage 10 месяцев назад

The computer system was updated prior to 2013. You'll need a relearn tool. If you're doing a lot of work yourself (check engine lights, diagnostics, TPMS, etc.), I'd suggest getting something like an Autel Maxisys (affiliate link: amzn.to/3QyVMP3) or go to a locksmith. They can usually do it for around $100-150. Easier and usually cheaper than the dealer.

Hey I know this is old but what if the check button doesn’t register to the ecu that your pressing it?

@WildMountainGarage 2 года назад

Then I'd say try again? Push harder? Not sure I understand. This method adds keys in order. I don't think it'll erase any until it accepts your new inputs. If you have an autel tablet you should be able to view all the keys associated and add and remove with the touch screen software, but they're pricey (worth the investment if you work on your vehicles). A locksmith will probably help cheaper than a dealer if you can't use this method.

@WildMountainGarage 2 года назад

Do the door lock buttons physically lock? If not, If it's the same year and the fob was programmed correctly the door lock actuators can break. I've replaced most of mine around 160k. If not, then newer trucks (2011 and up i think) have a different computer and need a scan tool to reprogram fobs.

@WildMountainGarage 3 года назад

Oh man, yeah I've heard they've updated the computer system mid-generation. You need a scan tool with immobilizer functions to do so. I just bought an Autel MP-808TS and it does it. They have some cheaper (and some more expensive) options so you might consider finding another that has immobilizer functions. Otherwise a locksmith should do it for about $100 (which I had to do on my Silverado last year). Anything but going to the dealer. Sorry for the late reply, I hope you got it sorted!

@kildareescoto1203 2 года назад

I've got a 2014 suburban and that option is not on my car,any advice?😕

@WildMountainGarage 2 года назад

Yes, unfortunately for you, GM switched computer systems in 2012 or so. You'll need a scan tool to do it. A locksmith with the tool will charge around $120 in my experience and takes ten minutes. You can research autel maxisys scan tools if you plan to do this and other things and find it worth it. I bought a $900 one to do diag and keys and a lot more as I do stuff all the time. However, the locksmith might be your best bet depending on what the stealership charges. Hope that helps!

@WildMountainGarage 2 года назад

If the old fob opened the tailgate and the tailgate switch in the cab works as well as the actual tailgate switch I'd assume it's the wrong remote or something wrong with the remote. There isn't a procedure for individual functions only just syncing new remotes.

Did your previous fob have remote start? If not, then it won't work. If it did check your fuses or the remote start (if the previous remote start worked). Also try syncing again. There could be antitheft or a million other electrical reasons. It just worked for me on a stock 09 with remote start. Sorry I can't be of more help!

Interesting. Does your fob and dash look the same? I know there was a change at some point but I thought it was later than 2011. Try this post there are two types of.fobs apparently for 2011. chevroletforum.com/forum/tahoe-suburban-25/how-program-new-key-remote-fob-2011-suburban-47576/ I hope it doesn't force you. You might find a repair shop that's not a dealer that is more trustworthy or affordable that had a GM scan tool if that is required. There's almost always a way around going to a dealer.

@santiagodavila1426 3 года назад

So I did my remotes, they both work perfectly, but I tried the remote start, and the truck kinda wanted to start or it did but stayed ON for like 1sec. Then I tried again and the lights just flash

@WildMountainGarage 3 года назад

Sounds like an issue with something related to it remote starting. Perhaps something is preventing it. If my Silverado has a check engine light on it won't remote start or if you try to remote start more than twice it locks it out so you don't keep it remote started indefinitely. Hope you got it sorted.

@WildMountainGarage 4 года назад

Sorry for the delay, have been off comments. If your truck is not a 2011, it should be fine. You don't need the original fob as programming on these trucks is done with the system and it erases the old fobs when you add new ones. So if you have an old fob and want to add new ones alongside it, program the old fob first, then the new ones. If you buy a new fob and want to replace the old one (whether you have it or not), just do the program procedure with the fobs you want to use. I hope this helps.

@WildMountainGarage 5 лет назад

Does the new fob look the same as the old one on the outside? Did the old fob do all the doors? Does the driver door panel do the other doors? My three other door locks failed all about the same time. I did a video showing replacement of one, but they're all the same. You can get all new units or just replace the motor and gear. But perhaps yours is a simpler problem than failed locks. If fobs match make sure driver door harnesses are connected and other door panel harnesses as well. Maybe an interior fuse or underhood fuse? I'm not by the truck now to look but you might check those.
