Auto Parts: keyless entery not working, transponder frequency, chevy c


Question
I had a alarm installed a few years ago in a late model 1999 Chevy C-1500 Suburban and had to have it removed because it was acting up. Now I wanted to go back to using the factory keyless enter but it does not work. I checked the vehicle with a auto car code reader and it showed everything was fine. Please can you help me fix the problem?

Answer
Hi Robert,

If the factory alarm was disabled in favor of an aftermarket, the original transponder frequency will be deleted by the BCM and it must be reprogrammed at the dealership to regain functionality.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
