Ok I just bought this truck on Friday. The battery in the remote was weak so I changed it. Now it doesnt work. I held down LOCK and UNLOCK and it did not reprogram. I tried several other methods including on-off-on-off-on, holding the UNLOCK switch, etc. The only thing that seems to work is jumping pins 4 and 8 on the OBDII port. That locks and unlocks the doors signaling the reprogram mode.

 

The problem is that I cannot reprogram the remote. I hold LOCK and UNLOCK for 15 seconds while the jumper is in and nothing happens. Can someone help me?? I tried using my Actron CP9190 scanner but no go. I really dont want to go to a dealer everytime my remote battery dies. Help!!!

 

1999 GMC Yukon SLT.

This may be a dumb question, but did you put in a brand new battery?

just wondering because it shouldn't have reset, it should still work. I have had to replace 10+ batteries in all the trucks and cars we have owned and never had this problem.

'Nother dumb question: You sure the battery's not in upside down? :D

 

Can't hurt to double check. :)

 

Wow I think it was upside down :) . I will check after work and let you know...

I've changed the battery before, taken them apart to clean them, and never had an issue with needing to reprogram.

Worked! Had the battery in backwards but I had to reprogram with jumping the OBD but it works! Thanks!!

 

Cool! :) I've done it before, that's why I thought to ask. :)

I have done all of these steps above. I have connected port 8 to 4 and can get the doors to lock and unlock, but when I press the lock and unlock button on the key fob, nothing happens. I have also tried turning it on and off and on and off while holding the unlock button and then pressing lock and unlock simultaneously on the key fob without any luck.

 

I have tried this with one original key fob and then I got another used key fob for another vehicle on ebay and that one doesn't work. Both key fob batteries work because I tried them in key fobs for other cars.

 

What could be my problem?

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Z45 · Posted

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
