Here are the procedures.

TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING

Invalidate All

This procedure will erase all keyless entry transmitters from memory.

1. Install a scan tool.

2. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF.

3. With the scan tool, select Body.

4. Select Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR).

5. Select Module Setup.

6. Select Program Key Fobs.

7. Select Invalidate All.

8. Follow the scan tool on screen instructions.

Incremental programming allows for a transmitter to be reprogrammed into the next available location without affecting the currently programmed transmitters. Previously programmed transmitters will not be erased during this procedure.

2. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF.

3. With the scan tool, select Body.

Just to add to this one if the key fob was working with your car you can try reseting it by going by the car holding the lock and unlock buttons down at the same time for about ten seconds if it resets you will hear the car lock and unlock and the horn will honk.The scan tool you won't find anywhere then the dealer most likely it takes a tech2 scan tool with the correct software.If its a new remote and you need to program it a dealer is your best bet.
