  • An easy to follow video on how to program a remote key fob for a 1996 - 1998 GMC Sierra.
    More free keyless entry programming instructions available at www.ProgramYour...
    1. Locate Data Link Port. It is located under dash on drivers side. Be sure you know which pins are 8 and 4.
    2. Make sure there are metal contact pins in terminals 8 and 4. Connect 8 to 4 with a suitable jumper wire ( leave the jumper wire connected throughout the programming procedure). Make sure you know which terminals are 8 and 4. The vehicle will respond by locking and unlocking the doors to signify entering of programming mode.
    3. Press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons together on the first remote to be programmed and after about 15 seconds, the vehicle will respond by locking and unlocking the doors. Release buttons on remote.
    4. Within one minute, repeat step 3 on the remaining remotes to be programmed.
    5. Remove jumper wire applied to OBDII port.

      Later on I acquired a 3rd fob for the '96 GMC Sierra k1500.
      Successfully syncd but one of other previous two would not resync.
      Does the PCM only allow 2 fobs to be sync'd at a time ?

I tried programming the new key fobs by using "push the unlock button, then turn the ignition on and off two times" method. My truck wouldn't go into program mode. Will the paper clip method work for my truck?

      Probably not - the truck needs to have the factory remote option installed. If your vehicle does NOT have the option installed then it will be missing one or both of the # 4 and 8 pins inside the connector that is shown in the video.

    • @PYR-Auto
      @PYR-Auto  4 года назад +1

      There is a 30 minute procedure to re-set the passlock (anti-theft system) that I will past below. However please keep in mind, typically the vehicle will not start if the factory anti-theft system is triggered, rather than an alarm and lights going off occasionally, as the anti-theft system is not an alarm, so I think you may have other issues.
      Insert the key in the ignition, turn the key to run position ( do not start ) and leave it in that position for 10 minutes. Cycle the key to LOCK position, count to 10, then turn the key back to run position and leave on for 10 more minutes. After the 10 minutes is up, repeat the procedure (1) more time and the security system will relearn the PASS code.

      If the vehicle does not respond when the paper clip is inserted into the correct slots, then there is a good chance your vehicle may not have the factory remote option installed. If you look in your glove box, you will see the parts identification sticker with a list of codes on it. the code for factory remotes is AUO. If you do not see that code than your vehicle is not equipped.

      If the locks are cycling but the remote is not responding then there may be an issue with remote you are using

      I have same issue and have tried multiple remotes. Is it due to having aftermarket stereo?
