About the only thing you could try yourself is using a second key. Any diagnosis here is going to require a dealer level scan tool with programming capabilities.

In don't know how you could possibly come to the conclusion that the problem is just a programming issue without having anything checked. There are numerous other possibilities beyond that. Either way, it's nothing that you are going to resolve yourself.
