im not sure there is an easy way to do it yourself. You might need to have a program tool. I just had to order a new keyless entry for my Yukon. I gotta bring it to the dealer when it comes in so they can program it.

Here's instructions
1996-1997 Keyless Entry Programming
Programming procedure:
Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Remove RADIO fuse 17 from fuse block. Cycle ignition switch from OFF to RUN three times within five seconds until the door locks and the hatch release cycle, indicating the Body Control Module is in the Programming Mode. Press and hold BOTH LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on remote control door lock transmitter for 16 seconds. Door locks will cycle once, confirming the transmitter code is programmed. The door locks must cycle completely to unlock before proceeding. Any transmitter code that was previously programmed has been erased. Body Control Module is now programmed to remote control door lock transmitter. When programming the Body Control Module to match remote control door lock transmitters, the first transmitter code matched will be stored in memory unless a second remote control door lock transmitter is matched at the same time. If programming the Body Control Module to match a second transmitter, repeat step 4. This must be done before the RADIO fuse 17 is reinstalled. Ignition switch to OFF. Reinstall RADIO fuse 17 to fuse block.

Here is where I get that info http://shbox.com/1/4th_gen_tech1.html but it doesn't cover 98+ but I do know that some years require the use of a tool to program it. If you want to see programing for GM vehicles after 97 though , check out the grand am forum. Flatrater put up a few sticky info posts about doing those vehicles. Good luck
