How to Program a Chevrolet Tahoe Key Fob (GMT900) GM Truck
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
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.

Fob won't open the tail gate itself? Does the power lift gate work using the button in the truck or on the handle? If so it might be the fob itself. If not, it could be the lift gate motor.
I bought a 2007 tahoe lt. Do you think this one has remote start and to open the gate? It came with a remote that has all but idk if is the original

I'd imagine it has remote start with the LT. The power liftgate you can tell if you have the buttons on the interior. Mine, with the sunroof, are above the mirror near the sunroof controls.

Go get a cheap OBD2 scanner and look up the codes on google. Or go to an auto parts store, most will do a free scan for you. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007JSGR9Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I must have other issues. I have done this several times in a week. My d9r locks lock or unlocked randomly. This is a used 09 avalanche. Also I got the beep several times putting my truck in reverse. Sometimes it locks after I walk off. It's random.blikevit has a mind of its own. Back doors don't unlock when they're supposed to most of the time. Do I need a new fob or battery?

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.
Hey i reprogrammed the fob and its going thru the system and locking and unlocking but not phisically locking any ideas ???
@WildMountainGarage
2 жыл бұрын
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.
You can buy just the case, without the internal electronics, if your case is damage. Great video.

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.
The relearn option is available for 2011 and under.

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.

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!

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!

I programmed two more of mine over a year ago and it works fine, then put it away, today I tried them, none of them work? I dropped the original one and lost the battery, so I took the battery off the one I programmed a year ago to my old remote just to lock my vehicle. So why did the memory program one forget its memory?

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.

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!

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.

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.
