<h1>Smart Key Remote Programming Instructions – 2002 Saturn L-Series</h1> <p><font size="3"><b>Important Notice:</b> The 2002 Saturn L-Series does not support onboard programming for smart key remote fobs. All key fob programming must be completed by a certified automotive technician using specialized diagnostic tools capable of interfacing with the vehicle’s onboard systems. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><b>Step-by-Step Programming Instructions</b> </font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Step 1: Schedule Service with a Qualified Technician Locate an experienced automotive technician or service center familiar with General Motors vehicle electronics. The technician must have access to professional-grade diagnostic equipment to perform remote programming. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 2: Bring All Remote Fobs for Programming If you have multiple keyless remotes, make sure to bring them all. The programming process may erase previously stored remotes, requiring each to be reprogrammed during the same session. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 3: Determine if the Vehicle Is Operational If the vehicle starts and drives, consider taking it to the technician’s location. This may be more economical than arranging a mobile service call. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 4: Provide Proof of Ownership Be prepared to present vehicle ownership documents, such as your registration or title, along with a valid photo ID. This is often required before any programming services can begin. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 5: Technician Connects Diagnostic Equipment The technician will connect a scan tool to the vehicle’s OBD-II port. This allows communication with the vehicle’s body control module and initiates the keyless entry programming sequence. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 6: Activate Programming Mode Using the scan tool, the technician will enter the programming mode. This step allows the vehicle to register new remote fobs and remove any that are no longer in use. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 7: Program Each Remote Fob One at a Time Each smart key remote is programmed individually. The technician will test each remote to ensure it performs all intended functions, such as locking, unlocking, trunk access, or panic alarm. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 8: Save Settings and Exit Programming Mode After successfully programming all fobs, the technician will save the new settings and exit the diagnostic system. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 9: Test All Programmed Remotes Verify that each remote works as expected by testing all keyless entry functions to ensure full compatibility. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 10: Store a Backup Remote Securely Keep a spare programmed remote in a safe location. This will help avoid inconvenience if the primary remote is lost or damaged in the future.</font></li> </ul>
