Keyless Entry Remote Programming Instructions – 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora

Important Notice: The 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora does not support onboard programming for keyless entry remote fobs. Remote programming must be performed by a qualified professional using specialized diagnostic equipment.

Programming Procedure:

• Step 1: Contact a certified automotive technician or authorized service provider experienced with keyless entry systems and equipped with manufacturer-compatible diagnostic tools.
• Step 2: Confirm that the technician uses appropriate diagnostic software capable of securely interfacing with the vehicle’s electronic control system.
• Step 3: If the vehicle is in operable condition, consider driving it to the technician’s location to reduce service charges that may apply for mobile visits.
• Step 4: Schedule an appointment in advance and bring all remotes with you. Some systems require that all remotes be reprogrammed during the same session to ensure full functionality.
• Step 5: Upon arrival, the technician will connect a diagnostic tool to the vehicle’s onboard diagnostic (OBD) port, typically located beneath the dashboard.
• Step 6: The technician will initiate the programming procedure using secure software to register the new remote fob with the vehicle’s system.
• Step 7: Once programming is complete, all functions—including lock, unlock, trunk release, and panic—will be tested to confirm proper operation.
• Step 8: Personally test each remote to ensure all buttons respond as expected before concluding the service.
• Step 9: Store backup remotes securely, and consider having a spare programmed for future convenience or emergency situations.
