<h1>Keyless Entry Remote Programming Instructions – 2006 Saturn Relay</h1> <p><font size="3"><b>Important Notice:</b> The 2006 Saturn Relay does not support onboard programming for its keyless entry remote fobs. Programming requires the use of a professional diagnostic scan tool and must be carried out by a qualified automotive technician. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><b>Step-by-Step Programming Instructions</b> </font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Step 1: Locate a Certified Automotive Technician or Dealer Find a service provider who has access to General Motors-compatible diagnostic equipment. It's essential that the technician is familiar with remote programming procedures for this vehicle type. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 2: Bring All Remote Fobs to the Appointment If you have multiple remotes, take all of them with you. During the programming process, the system may erase any existing remote data, so all remotes must be programmed together to remain functional. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 3: Determine Whether Your Vehicle Can Be Driven If the vehicle is currently operable, driving it to the technician’s location is often more affordable than arranging for mobile service. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 4: Prepare Proof of Ownership Have your vehicle registration or title, along with a government-issued photo ID, ready. This documentation is typically required to authorize the programming service. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 5: Connect Diagnostic Equipment The technician will plug a scan tool into the vehicle’s OBD-II port, usually found beneath the dashboard. This allows communication with the vehicle’s body control module, where remote settings are stored. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 6: Enter Programming Mode Using the scan tool, the technician will initiate the remote fob programming sequence. This process allows the system to learn new remote signals while erasing unrecognized or outdated entries. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 7: Program Each Remote Individually Each remote fob is programmed one at a time. The technician will verify that the key functions—such as lock, unlock, panic, and sliding door activation—respond correctly. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 8: Save and Exit Programming Mode Once all remotes are programmed, the technician will save the new settings and exit the diagnostic interface. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 9: Test All Remote Functions Try each newly programmed remote to confirm that all buttons operate as expected. This includes checking both front and rear door operations if applicable. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 10: Keep a Backup Remote on Hand Store an extra programmed remote in a secure location. Having a backup can help avoid complications if your primary remote is lost or stops working.</font></li> </ul>
