- A video tutorial on how to program a smart key remote fob to a 2015 - 2020 Chevrolet Suburban.
If you already have at least two working remote key fobs for your GMC Yukon there is a shorter programming procedure than the one shown in the video that you can use. You can find those programming instructions here www.programyourremote.com/cla...
*This will only apply to Chevy Suburban's that have a push button start ignition.
1. Using the driver's door, turn the key counterclockwise to the unlock position five times within 10 seconds.The Driver Information Center(DIC) displays REMOTE LEARN PENDING, PLEASE WAIT.
2. Wait for 10 minutes until the DIC displays PRESS ENGINE START BUTTON TO LEARN, then press the ENGINE START/STOP button. (You may have to open and close drivers door to see the DIC display). The DIC display will again show REMOTE LEARN PENDING, PLEASE WAIT.
3. Repeat Step 2 two additional times. After the third time all previously known transmitters will no longer work with the vehicle. The DIC displays PRESS ENGINE START BUTTON TO LEARN, then press the ENGINE START/STOP button. (You may have to open and close drivers door to see the DIC display). Remaining remote key fobs can be relearned during the next steps. The DIC display should now show READY FOR REMOTE # 1.
4. Place the new smart key fob in the transmitter pocket in the Chevy Suburban center console .
5. Press the ENGINE START/STOP button. When the transmitter is learned, the DIC display will show that it is ready to program the next remote key fob.
6. Remove the smart key remote fob from the Suburban's transmitter pocket and press unlock or lock on the transmitter.
To program additional smart key remote fobs, repeat Steps 4-6. When all additional transmitters are programmed, press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for approximately 12 seconds to exit programming mode.
This how-to video tutorial will show you how to program a smart key remote fob to following Chevrolet Suburban models:
2017 Chevy Chevrolet Suburban (LS, LT and LTZ)
2018 Chevy Chevrolet Suburban (LS, LT and LTZ)
2019 Chevy Chevrolet Suburban (LS, LT and LTZ)
2020 Chevy Chevrolet Suburban (LS, LT and LTZ)

We lost one of the two key remotes (fobs) for our 2018 Tahoe and the Chevy dealership wanted around $450 to replace and reprogram and also stated, non-OEM remotes would not work. Went ahead and purchased a non-OEM remote and was afraid it would not work however, it did work. This video was well presented with perfect step-by-step instructions. Very grateful to PYR Automotive!
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much! Perfect instructions. I was anxious when he mentioned "at this point any remotes that have been programmed into the vehicle have been erased" because what if nothing worked? But never fear, just follow step by step and you will have excellent results!
You're welcome! Glad it helped

Thank you very much, great video, helped me a lot.
You're welcome!
It worked! Thank you!
You’re Welcome!
Accurate instructions. thank you. How do you deprogram (or reset an existing fob for another SUV) to be reprogrammed to you current vehicle.
This procedure erases all previous fobs and any that you still want to work for the vehicle will need to be re-programmed during the procedure. These fobs lock to a vehicle once programmed and need to be unlocked by someone with the correct equipment before they can be programmed again to a different vehicle.
@@PYR-Auto Ypu make it so easy to understand..Thank you...Would you happen to know what equipment is used to reprogram the fob?
Awesome ! Thank you !
You're welcome!
Great video thanks
You're Welcome!
Tank you for video
You're Welcome!
Thanks, looks simple enough haven't tried it yet so I'll report back !!
How did it go?
Thank you
You're Welcome!
Thanks bro
You're Welcome!
Hi great video , thank you . Question I had to change the vehicle battery on my 2017 suburban. Didn’t have back up power and now my remotes only lock and unlock . Will this work to re program so they will start the truck ? Thank you very much!
You can try but changing the vehicle battery does not normally effect the remotes - so you may have other issues.
Thanks so much! We were stranded at a restaurant.
You're Welcome!
Will this work for 2011 Buick lacwith push bottom
Or do you have a video showing the location of the place to put the remote during the "programing' phase? My Traverse does not have the pocket in the center console as shown in this Tahoe video.
On the traverse you need to remove the liner in the bottom of the center console. It doesn't show the programming but you can see the Traverse transmitter pocket in this video czcams.com/video/ox1G5E-qPTI/video.html
It did not work for us and we have tried it 2 times. One works fine and the other will lock and unlock doors but not start the SUV. Any ideas?
Thanks, plan on getting a new one. Which key fob do you recommend me buying? Please link it. Thanks in advance
check out bit.ly/CarAndTruckRemotes.
After my first 10 mins my car still just saying remote learning pending it never changes to remote engine start press button to learn.
I’ve even tried going 11-12 mins same thing
I did all the steps but a soon as I remove the controls from inside the truck and I close the door the controls stop working
Great Video! any clue why my remote car starter only works when i am extremely close to the vehicle? it will not work if i am more than 15' away. any inside is appreciated
Not sure - have you tried replacing the battery in the key fob
I'm hoping you can help. I follow this procedure and it works...for a little bit. The programming will take and the fobs will function but after 30 minutes they won't. The vehicle can be started via the console and operate fine. After shutting the vehicle off the fobs work again for 30 minutes and then nothing. What could be going on here?
not sure - the vehicle and or/fob should not function that way. You may need to have a professional take a look at it.
I tried this a couple times for my 2018 Suburban Premier while keeping the original "Driver 1" remote (which works but is physically damaged) on my person. I left the "Driver 2" remote and brand new 3rd remote (which is meant to replace the damaged "Driver 1" remote) outside and away from the vehicle. The tech at the Chevrolet dealership where I bought the new (way overpriced) remote to replace the "Driver 1" remote programmed the new remote as "Driver 3." I learned this the day after the new remote was programmed.
So I actually have 3 remotes that work, but I want the current "Driver 3" remote to be the "Driver 1" remote and vice versa. Should this procedure enable me to reprogram the remotes and have them labeled/synchronized as intended (new remote to be Driver 1, original Driver 2 remote to stay Driver 2, Current damaged Driver 1 remote to be Driver 3)?
Lastly, any suggestions on how to turn off the passive security/panic alarm system? It keeps interrupting the process (I think), and forcing me to press the unlock button on the remote I have on me because when I open the vehicle to press the "Engine Start/Stop" button and reset the timer the alarm activates (horn blasting and lights flashing).
I hope I wasn't confusing with my scenario and questions. Sorry so lengthy. Any insightful feedback will be appreciated. Thanks.
My
Start with all the working fobs far enough away from the vehicle so they cannot be read, then go though the procedure. After entering programing mode, It should start at Driver 1. All 3 remotes will need to be reprogrammed and the order in which you program then in will determine the Driver number. The only suggestion I can make on the security system is to make sure you press unlock on one of the working remotes before begging the procedure.
Be sure to use the working remote to unlock the vehicle before turning the physical key counterclockwise 5 times. Also, once I opened the vehicle door, I kept it open for the entire reprogramming process
I did everything step by step. Now my 2017 Suburban says theft deterrent system. The original key fob does not work properly now. When I try to start the truck it’s like it doesn’t recognize the key fob. I have to hold start button, open and close my door hold start button again then it will start. Any suggestions on how to reset the theft deterrent? Why does it keep telling me to insert second key?
It sounds like maybe you didn’t reprogram the original remote during the procedure to get to the 2 remotes total, as described in beginning of the video. When it says ready for remote 2 place your original remote in the transmitter pocket and press the stop/start butto
Will this work for a 2018 Chevy Traverse? (I already have one working key fob but my other key fob quit working after changing the battery).
Yes!
What do you do if you have only 1 remote? That is all I was given at the dealership. It only works the panic and unlock, not the remote start, lock or rear hatch. 2017 Suburban TIA
You will need to buy an additional remote in order to use the programming procedure shown in the video
what if you have a 2017 suburban but it doesnt have the start/stop button but a regular ignition. same fob but key ignition?
There is no manual way to program the fobs for a regular ignition. You can program the ignition keys though - you can find those instructions here www.ProgramAutoKeys.com/classified/2017-chevrolet-suburban-ignition-transponder-chip-key-programming-instructions-listing-9425.aspx#.YUtF9y2caw4
@pyr automotive do you recommend a key fob to buy off the internet. Dealerships are trying to charge me and insane price
You can buy them off the internet but I would recommend buying an OEM key. Also, if you get a used key make sure the listing specifically says the key is unlocked or programmable. These fobs lock to a vehicle once programmed and need to be unlocked by someone with the correct equipment before they can be used again.
I have a question, I had some work done on my suburban and now my fobs don’t work as well as they used to or from as far away. One was an original and one is bran new. Do you have any idea why?
What were they working on? If it happened to multiple fobs at the same time it could be an issue with the antenna for the keyless entry system in the vehicle
My car just times out an the screen goes black after like 1-2mins after the 1st step
Just tried adding remotes 1st one went fine went to add the second one and everything went blank, let sit for a couple of minutes and opened the door and send to program remote 2 put remote 2 in slot and everything shut off again any suggestions
Did you try putting remote 2 in the slot and just continuing with the procedure? Sometimes those messages only stay on the dash for a few seconds
My 2018 Suburban will not even recognize the first step after turning key 5 times. It was originally sold in Canada. Could this be the reason? If so, what can I do to get a 2nd fob programmed?
Unfortunately there is no manual way to program fobs for a Canadian vehicle if you only have one working - You will need a automotive locksmith or dealership
I don’t know what kind of Suburban your programming but I have a 2019 Suburban I bought new and mine has a key that starts the Suburban not a push button
Do u have to program 2 remotes minimum. Only have one and it keeps asking me for remote number 2
Yes - a minimum of two must be programmed for the 2017 - 2020 Suburban
It worked great on my 2019 Malibu Lt, but I'm getting 2nd remote message and my service theft detterrent light stays on.
A 2019 Malibu requires that two keys be programmed (including any existing remotes) - you will need to program a 2nd remote to clear that message
At what point do you take the key out of the door?
Anytime after turning the key 5 times - it doesn't make a difference
Will this work on a 2015 suburban ltz
Yes
My 2019 Suburban does not have a stop start button! Can I still program new remotes?
No
My 2018 does not have a push button start. Do you have any suggestions? They want $100 each to do these, so I'm trying to save money. Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately there is no way to program fobs for the non push button start vehicles. You can program the ignition keys yourself though - you can find those instructions here www.ProgramAutoKeys.com
My door handle does not have the manual key entry port. Any way to start this process without it?
No
Fob wont do the unlock or lock, it showed the Theft attempted on the screen. I followed the instructions with no luck, doesn't unlock or lock doors, truck wont start unless I place it in the transmitter pocket. 2019 chevy silverado RST. Will undoing the battery cable help me?
Did you program two fobs total as is explained at the beginning of the video?
I never received the Remote Engine start message, the second message. I tried to start the process over and now am not receiving the first message after turning the key five times, plus the car won’t start with my original key? Any advice?
Try holding down the stop/star button for 12 seconds to exit programming mode, then go through the procedure again. Some vehicles only show the messages for a few seconds or sometimes not at all so I would recommend going off the time rather then the messages
If you mess up on any of this process, how do you start over?
holding down the stop/start button for 12 seconds should allow you to exit programming mode
My Suburban does not have Start/Stop button, can I use key ignition turn to do same?
Unfortunately there is no manual programming procedure for the non push button start vehicles fobs
Thank you for let me know.
I have a Chevy suburban 2017 with no start button. How should I connect it? Thanks
unfortunately there is no manual way to program the fob on the non-push button start vehicles, you will need a locksmith or automotive locksmith. You can program the ignition key in many cases yourself though - you can find those instructions here www.programautokeys.com/classified/2017-chevrolet-suburban-ignition-transponder-chip-key-programming-instructions-listing-9425.aspx#.Y9hTXS-B2w4
What if the current working key fob doesn't have an emergency key? We just have a regular car key and a key fob with no emergency key. Turning the regular key 5x didn't give a message on the screen.
No - unfortunately there is no manual way to program the fobs for the non push-button start vehicles. You will need an automotive locksmith or dealership
My suburban is a 2017 and doesn’t have a start / stop button, just a smart key. I have one remote and it quit working so I’m trying to program a new Chevy remote. I tried turning the key to the left 5 times, but it didn’t do anything…
This procedure only works on push button start vehicles. There is no manual way to program fobs for the non push button start vehicles - you will need an automotive locksmith or dealership
I get to the part where it says remote learn pending and when I come back after 10 minutes the dash is off. When I close and open the door to make the screen come up it just shows the running engine hours and idle
I'm having the same issue we're you able to figure it out ?
Where should I buy the new key?
I would recommend bit.ly/CarAndTruckRemotes
What is the frequency of the remote?
They can come in 434 MHz or 315 MHz - depending on your exact vehicle
Will this procedure work for a Traverse?
Yes
Where should I purchase new remotes?
check out bit.ly/CarAndTruckRemotes.
I also lost both remotes and I only have 1 key
The key I got with my car does not fit in the key hole. Do I need to see a locksmith?
yes - it sounds like you may need the key cut
What if I didn’t have press key I started with regular key
Unfortunately there is no manual procedure to program the fob for a non push button start ignition. However you can program the ignition key - you can find those instructions here www.programautokeys.com/classified/suburban-browse-757.aspx
What if I lost both keys and fobs?
Then you will need to have the emergency key on at least one of the new fobs but an automotive locksmith or dealership
I’m having problems. I’m not seeing anything in the dash.
some vehicles only show the message for a few seconds right when the door is opened. You might want to try going off the time rather than the dash.
My 2019 Chevrolet suburban doesn’t have a start stop button
Then unfortunately there is no manual way to program fobs.
