How to Program a 2016 Chevrolet Spark Ignition Smart Chip Key Transponder
Step by Step How to Programming Instructions:
Programming Transmitters to the Vehicle: Only RKE transmitters programmed to this vehicle will work. The vehicle can be reprogrammed so that lost or stolen transmitters no longer work. Each vehicle can have up to eight transmitters programmed to it.
Programming with Recognized Transmitters: A new transmitter can be programmed to the vehicle when there are two recognized transmitters.
1. Ensure the vehicle is off, and both the recognized and new transmitters are with you.
2. Place the two recognized transmitters in the cup holder.
3. Insert the vehicle key into the key cylinder located above the license plate.
4. Open the hatch/trunk.
5. Turn the key five times within ten seconds.
6. The DIC displays READY FOR REMOTE #2, 3, or 4.
7. Place the new transmitter in the steering column transmitter pocket with the buttons facing up and the base toward the opening facing the passenger side.
8. Press the ENGINE START/STOP button.
9. The DIC displays READY FOR REMOTE #4 or 5, up to 8.
10. Press Unlock on each newly programmed transmitter to complete the process.
11. To program additional transmitters, repeat Steps 8-11. Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for 12 seconds if programming is complete. Return the key back into the RKE transmitter.
Programming without a Recognized Transmitter: If there are no currently recognized transmitters available, follow this procedure to program up to eight transmitters. This feature is not available in Canada. This procedure will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. Ensure the vehicle is off, and all transmitters to be programmed must be present.
1. Ensure the vehicle is off.
2. Remove the key from the transmitter and insert the vehicle key into the key cylinder located above the license plate.
3. Open the hatch/trunk.
4. Turn the key five times within ten seconds. The DIC message displays REMOTE LEARN PENDING PLEASE WAIT.
5. Return the key base back into the RKE transmitter.
6. Wait for 10 minutes until the DIC displays PRESS ENGINE START BUTTON TO LEARN. Then press the ENGINE START/STOP button. The DIC reads REMOTE LEARN PENDING, PLEASE WAIT.
7. Repeat Step 6 two additional times. After the third time, all previously known transmitters will no longer work with the vehicle. Remaining transmitters can be relearned during the next steps. The DIC display should now show READY FOR REMOTE #1.
8. Place the new transmitter in the steering column transmitter pocket with the chrome buttons facing up and the base toward the opening facing the passenger side.
9. Press the ENGINE START/STOP button. When the transmitter is learned, the DIC display will show that it is ready to program the new transmitter.
10. Remove the transmitter from the transmitter pocket and press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the transmitter. To program additional transmitters, repeat Steps 9-10. When all additional transmitters are programmed, press and hold the ENGINE STOP/START button for 12 seconds to exit programming mode.
