Default Problem with key fob programming?

The other day I noticed it was not working so I tried to program it. It wouldnt program so I went and bought a new battery and still nothing, any ideas? It said hold lock and unlock on fob and I did several times and for up to a couple of minutes.

You might have to program the car to reconize the FOB. You can do that from the DIC.

Try that and see if you get the results, that you are looking for.

Try going through the FOB Training Program on the DIC. If that doesn't work, sounds like you need a trip to the dealer.

Sounds like the FOB is bad. We had to replace our's about 8 months ago. Bought a new one on Ebay for $26 plus $3 shipping.

Works like a champ!
