How to Program a 2019 Chevrolet Equinox Ignition Smart Chip Key Transponder

Step by Step How to Programming Instructions:

Q: Can I program a new key myself if I have no working keys?
A: Yes, once you have had the transponder key cut by a locksmith.

1. Insert the new key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position (as far as you can go without cranking the engine). The security light on the dashboard will flash for fifteen minutes.
2. When the security light stops flashing, turn the ignition OFF and then back to the ON position. The security light will flash for fifteen more minutes.
3. When the security light stops flashing again, turn the ignition OFF and then back to the ON position. The security light will flash for fifteen more minutes.
4. After the security light stops flashing for the third time, turn the key to the OFF position. Turn the key to the ON position, and the security light should stop flashing, indicating that the new key has been programmed.
5. Start the vehicle to test the key.

Q: Can I program a second key myself if I have one working key?
A: Yes, after you have had a locksmith cut the transponder chip key.

1. Insert the existing working key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position, then back to the OFF position.
2. Within five seconds, insert the new key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position. The security light will light up for two seconds to indicate successful programming. Turn the key to the OFF position.
3. Start the vehicle to test the new key.
