Step-by-step on-board programming
Note: While many 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD models support on-board programming for the remote functions, some vehicles, particularly those with more advanced security systems or certain trim levels, may require a specialized scan tool. If these steps do not work, a locksmith or dealership will be able to program your new fob.
To program your key fob using the on-board method:
- Close all vehicle doors.
- Insert your existing, working key into the ignition.
- Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (do not start the engine). Wait 5 seconds.
- Turn the ignition to the "OFF" position and remove the key.
- Insert the key into the ignition again and turn it to the "ON" position for 5 seconds, then "OFF" and remove the key.
- Within 10 seconds of removing the key after step 5, press and hold the "UNLOCK" button on your new key fob for approximately 15 seconds. The vehicle's horn should chirp, indicating successful programming.
- Repeat step 6 for any additional key fobs you wish to program, including existing ones if you are programming a new one. All fobs must be programmed in the same session.
- After programming all fobs, turn the ignition to the "ON" position for 30 seconds to exit programming mode. Test all programmed fobs.
Battery replacement
Replacing the battery in your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD key fob is a simple process:
- Locate the small release button or switch on the side or bottom of the key fob. Press it to release the emergency key blade and pull it out.
- With the emergency key removed, you will see a seam along the edge of the key fob. Use a small, flat-head screwdriver or a coin to carefully pry the two halves of the fob apart.
- Once opened, you will see the circuit board and the CR2032 coin cell battery. Note the orientation of the battery (positive (+) side up or down).
- Gently remove the old battery and insert the new CR2032 battery, ensuring it is in the correct orientation.
- Snap the two halves of the key fob back together until they securely click.
- Reinsert the emergency key blade.
Where to buy a replacement fob
- Dealership: Provides genuine OEM parts and guaranteed compatibility. The most expensive option, often ranging from $200-$400+ for the fob and programming. You
