what's up everyone
welcome to program your mode
today we're going to take a look at how
to get a chevy traverse open and started
if the key fob dies
i'm going to be demonstrating this on a
2022 chevy traverse in this video but
will be the same on a few different
years
and this is only going to apply to the
traverses that have a push button start
ignition
so in this scenario the vehicle is
locked
and our key fob's dead i've taken the
battery out of this key fob to
demonstrate
so the first thing we need to do is
remove the emergency key that's in the
bottom of our key fob
that's done by pressing this button on
the side
and then the emergency key will slide
out like that
now we're going to use this emergency
key to remove this cap on the driver's
door if we look underneath we see this
little slot right here
what we're going to do
is holding the emergency key this way
with the the blade on the right hand
side of the whole thing we're going to
put it in that slot and push straight up
and
as we do that we need to pull with this
hand we need to pull out on the door
handle then we're going to push straight
up into that slot
and kind of wiggle and that's going to
get this cap loose
now if your cap's never been off this
can come off of there pretty tough
um the biggest issue is especially if
it's never been off is if
you need to make sure you're pushing up
far enough
before you try to get it off and when
this goes back on
we won't put it on you won't put it on
till the end but when it goes back on
you'll pull the handle out and make sure
you put the right side on first like
this
put this side on
and then it'll snap on like that
so if you have any questions on that let
me know
but we'll set that cap to the side for a
second now we're going to take our
emergency key and use it to unlock the
driver's door we'll put it in there and
turn it to the
right actually the left
or left or counterclockwise
and then once once the vehicle is
unlocked it's a good idea to put the
emergency key
back in the fob just so we don't lose it
now as soon as we open the door the
alarm's going to start going off how
we're going to stop the alarm from going
off is we need to start the vehicle
how we're going to start the vehicle
with the dead key fob
is we need to place the key fob in what
your owner's manual calls the
transmitter pocket and that's located in
the center console we need to open the
center console and then there's a little
liner on the bottom that we need to pull
out
and then we need to put the key fob in
there and then we'll be able to start
the vehicle as normal i'm going to show
all this to you i'm just going to be
going kind of quickly and the alarm's
going to be going off
okay
[Music]
so come in here
take this out
pull this liner out
put your fob in there like that
and then start it as normal
so as you can you might have heard there
it's
a the alarm starts off kind of quiet and
if you don't get to it in about 10
seconds it does get louder
um but that's it
that's how the fob needs to sit in there
and then you'll just need to change the
battery in your fob as soon as you can
or replace it whatever you need to do
if you have any questions please let me
know

appreciate it
