The information below was kindly provided to me months ago when I had the same question. I have used this info twice now without fail. I used method #1 for my 2001 Tahoe LS.

Transmitter Programming
Important
All transmitters which are to be recognized by the remote control door
lock receiver (RCDLR) must be programmed in a single programming sequence.
If the system is placed in program mode it will erase all previously
programmed transmitters upon the receipt of the programming signal from
the first transmitter. Up to four transmitters can be programmed. Do not
operate or program the transmitters in the vicinity of other vehicles that
are in the keyless entry program mode. This prevents the programming of
the transmitters to the incorrect vehicle.
You may program up to 4 transmitters, using either of the two following
procedures:
Transmitter Programming Procedure (Method 1 - No Tools Required)
Close all the vehicle doors.
Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder.
Press and hold the door unlock switch.
While holding the door lock switch in the unlock position, cycle the
ignition ON, OFF, ON, OFF. Release the door unlock switch. The doors will
lock and unlock to confirm the program mode. Press and hold the LOCK
button and the UNLOCK button simultaneously on one transmitter. After a
delay of approximately 15 seconds, the doors will lock and unlock to
confirm the programming of that transmitter.
Repeat the previous step to program up to four transmitters. Turn the
ignition switch to the RUN position in order to exit the keyless entry
transmitter mode. Operate the transmitter functions in order to verify
correct system operation. Transmitter Programming Procedure
(Method 2 - Scan Tool Required)
Install a scan tool.
Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
Use the scan tool in order to access the Body Control Module (BCM) Special
Function: Program Key Fobs menu.
Follow the directions on the scan tool in order to program the transmitters.
Operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system operation.
