i have a 2000 model, is there a way to reprogram the key less entry remote, i have replaced the batteries but still gettin no responce. any help would be thankful thank you....

 

Section 2 of your Owner's manual.

Page 2-14 in the 1999 manual

Resynchronizing Your Transmitter

Your RFA system uses a continually changing code for
increased security. Normally, the receiver in your
vehicle will keep track of this changing code. If your
vehicle does not respond to your transmitter, do the
following to determine what’s wrong:
1. Get closer to the vehicle and try pressing a button
again. Your battery may be low (If so, see “Battery
Replacement” in the Index).
2. While standing close to your vehicle, press the
LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on your transmitter at
the same time and hold for seven seconds. This will
attempt to resynchronize the security code in your
RFA key fob transmitter.
3. When resynchronization is achieved, the horn
will chirp.
Loss of synchronization will occur after transmitter
battery replacement or disconnection of the
vehicle’s battery.
If attempts to resynchronize your transmitter to the
vehicle are not successful, you may need to match the
transmitter to the vehicle. See “Matching Transmitter(s)
to Your Vehicle” in the Index.

Good luck.

 

thanks very much jay its back working again.. didnt have my manual, youve been very helpful....

 

Ihave followed the steps and it is not working? I am using the key fobs that came with the car. Maybe I need new batteries in the fobs.

 

Try this:
Turn ignition to ON.
Turn radio off
Press RESET button to clear any IPC warning messages
Press and release the OPTIONS button until FOB TRAINING message is displayed.
Press and hold RESET button in order to begin programming sequence. The message HOLD LK + UNLK 1ST FOB will be displayed.
Simultaneously press and hold the Lock and Unlock buttons on the first transmitter for 15 seconds. The IPC will indicate when the transmitter is programmed. When you are finished, press the OPTIONS button to exit. Hope that woks for ya!

 

I tried this with no response from either of the two fobs. I even walked to the back of the care. I have never had a problem like this as they reprogrammed w/no problem in the past. Maybe i accidently tripped a security code or something.. Thanks.

 

I don't know then....maybe try new batteries?

 

I am having the same issue with my FOB's. I have purchased a new FOB with no luck either. Any suggestions on why the remotes will not reprogram or lose programming shortly after reprogramming?

Kevin

 

It was the batteries. I went to CVS pharmacy and purchsed two batteries for 1.79 each and they worked fine. No problems.

Well Gents I have tried the above mentioned sequence on my 2000 but I guess I need clearer instructions.....1st.... FOB not sure what that stands for secondly... I have tried 2 different batteries in the remote and same thing...I get the horn churp...things work fine and then 10 minutes later ....NOTHIN.....the steps listed above I tried but I am still unclear.....spell it our for a corvette greenhorn. I appreciate ANY assistance....

 

Fob is what you call your "remote". It is not an acronym, it is a name ... it is a key fob ....something attached to your key ... origin is a watch fob ... a strap or chain attached to a pocket watch.

If you are certain that the batteries are fresh, and you go through the retraining procedure and the horn beeps showing the car recognized the fob .... and then 10 minutes later the fob isn't working ??? You need a new fob or fobs.

The car "learns" the fobs at two different levels .... one is a "serial number" so that only your fob (or fobs ... you can have up to 3) should work with your Corvette. If I try to use my fob to unlock your Corvette your car won't recognize my fob because every fob transmits a unique serial number as part of the LOCK/UNLOCK commands. When you use the DIC procedure the car is being "taught" what are the (up to) 3 valid serial numbers it should accept from the fob(s). This is the procedure saloonwarrior lists above.

The second thing is that whenever you approach the car and issue an UNLOCK command ... the car sends a NEW "password" to be used for the next UNLOCK sequence. The fob has to "remember" this password and use it for the next UNLOCK. This is done so that someone cannot sit in a parking lot and "listen" to your fob's serial number when you LOCK and leave the car. If they picked up your serial number using a radio reciever/transmitter, they can't turn around and issue an UNLOCK with the serial number because the car expects the password along with the serial number and UNLOCK command. The car will only unlock for a valid serial number and password combination. The "simple" reprogramming (stand by car and hold LOCK and UNLOCK until horn beeps - takes about 10 seconds) gets the car to send a new "password" to the fob.

If you have performed both programming steps (first the DIC programming, then the "simple" programming) and your fob is not working after a few minutes, it either needs a new battery or you need a new fob. Your local dealer should have a fob test tool that can confirm whether or not the fob is transmitting correctly (tool J43241)

BlackZ06.....thats what I love about this site .....you don't know me from a hill of beans and yet you are willing to take time and spell it out for me. For that, I am truly grateful. Thank you and I will roll up to the dealership....need an extra key anyway!

 

Whatever is going on with the Fobs, it appears that after 8-10 years, sometimes less, they start failing. Replacing the batteries doesn't always fix the problems. The only remedy is replacing them with new ones. Both of mine failed within 3 months of each other and new batteries didn't do it. I've contacted Chevrolet, but they won't tell me who the manufacturer is. I do know they are assembled somewhere in Mexico, but the internals of the Fob show nothing as to whom built them.

 

Very interesting, that's exactly what happened to me last year and I have a 2000. One was getting flaky, getting worse and worse, and the other one wouldn't work at all anymore. Replacing the battering which had always worked in the past, didn't work this time. I thought for sure it had to be something on the car's end because both transmitters couldn't suddenly go bad at the same time and they were both working not long before, and like I said changing the batteries didn't help.

Took it in and they said the FOB needed to be reprogrammed. That's what they did and it's been fine since then (about a year or so). Only had one FOB done because I was skeptical that that was going to fix the problem, and because it was so expensive. If it happens again I'll replace the FOB (probably for a small fortune).

 

I would sure like to know how they re-programmed the fob itself if you can share with us? I'm already aware of the holding two buttons down and that doesn't do it.

 

guess ill try this stuff i havent used my fob in 2 years

 

I just had the same thing happen to my second/backup fob today. Went to use it just to make sure it was ok, and it wasn't. Replaced the battery and tried the 7 sec/horn beep method that has always worked in the past, but got nothing. Went through the resynch/fob training procedure through the DIC, but still nothing.

Guess I'll go to the dealer tomorrow and have them test it. My '99 Coupe just had its ninth birthday so I'm guessing the fobs are that old, too. Primary fob is still working fine, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it go anytime.

 

if your 2000's fob isn't working, buy a brand new one and it will be back in action.

 

Saw this a few months ago at Auto Zone. When you press the buttons a led lights up. Some pulse 7 times. Don't remember what the vette fobs do but go to an Auto Zone and try out your fobs. Near the cash registers in my store. BIGHANK
