Programming Keyless entry

[please_pimp_my_rde]

My dad got a 04 1500 last year, and it came with only one remote, and its the #2 remote. Well he said that he needed another, so I went on ebay, and ordered 2 new remotes, but I have no clue on how to program it. Anyone know how, or is this a job that the "stealership" can only do?

All transmitters which are to be recognized by the PDM must be programmed in a single programming sequence. When using this program method, all previously programmed transmitters will be erased upon the receipt of the programming signal from the first transmitter.

The order in which the transmitters are programmed will determine its numbering position within the PDM memory. The first transmitter programmed will be transmitter #1, and the second transmitter programmed will be transmitter #2. The number stamped on the transmitter case is for reference only: #2 can be programmed as #1, or vice versa. Additional unnumbered transmitters are also available.


1. Close all the vehicle doors.
2. Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder.
3. Press and hold the door unlock switch.
4. While holding the door lock switch in the unlock position, cycle the ignition ON, OFF, ON, OFF.
5. Release the door unlock switch. The doors will lock and unlock to confirm the program mode.
6. 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.
7. Repeat the previous step to program up to four transmitters.
8. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position in order to exit the keyless entry transmitter programming mode.
9. Operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system operation.

I tried this procedure on my 2000 suburban everything went well right up to the point of using the remote afterward. It didn't work. Any suggestions?

The above procedure is for the "base system" remote, which is FCC: KOBUT1BT and part # 15732803.





Some Suburban models have the DELUXE system installed which uses FCC: ABO1502T / Part # 16245100-29, which uses these instructions below:



1) At the data link connector. Use fused jumper wire between pin 4 (black wire) and pin 8 (black/white wire) Doors should lock, then unlock

2) Press and hold LOCK and UNLOCK on the transmitter until door locks cycle (about 10 seconds)

3) Repeat step 2 for additional remotes

4) Remove jumper, and test remotes.
