Key Fob Troubleshooting

I think my key fob died, what do I do?

If you think your key fob has died, don’t worry, this is a common problem that can be easily fixed. Like all other battery-operated electronics, it will eventually need new juice. There are a few simple steps you can follow to solve this problem:

1. The first thing you should is replace the battery within the fob. You can check what kind of battery you will need by referencing the owner’s manual as they vary based on make and model.
2. If replacing the battery does not fix it, your Chevrolet’s key fob may need reprogrammed. This is a little more complicated of a step and you may want to consider scheduling an appointment at a certified service center or dealership, like Joe Holland Chevrolet, to get your vehicle’s computer system reset.
3. If that also does not work, you may need to purchase a replacement. Make an appointment with your local dealership to purchase a new key fob and have it programmed to work with your vehicle.

If you feel unsure during any of these steps, it is a good idea to take your vehicle to a professional service center for assistance. That way you know your Chevrolet is being taken care of properly.
