How to Program a Key Fob for Hyundai Sonata
Programming a key fob for your Hyundai Sonata can be a straightforward process, providing you follow the correct steps. Whether you’re replacing a lost fob or adding a new one to your vehicle, this guide will walk you through the process to ensure that your key fob is programmed correctly and ready to use.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to program a key fob for your Hyundai Sonata:
- Ensure that your Hyundai Sonata is turned off and the keys are removed from the ignition.
- Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the ‘ON’ position, but do not start the engine.
- Within 10 seconds, press the ‘LOCK’ button on the key fob once. The car’s door locks will automatically lock and unlock to confirm that the programming mode has been entered.
- Within 40 seconds of the first step, press the ‘LOCK’ button on the key fob again. The car’s door locks will lock and unlock again to confirm that the programming process has started.
- Within 10 seconds of the second step, press the ‘LOCK’ button on the key fob a third time. The car’s door locks will lock and unlock for the final time, indicating that the key fob has been successfully programmed.
- Remove the key from the ignition and wait for about 10 seconds before attempting to lock or unlock the doors with the new key fob.
It’s important to note that some Hyundai Sonata models may have a slightly different programming process. If the above steps do not work, consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the specific instructions for your model.
Additionally, if you have multiple key fobs to program, repeat the process for each fob. Once all key fobs are programmed, they should all work with your Hyundai Sonata.
By following these simple steps, you can program a key fob for your Hyundai Sonata and enjoy the convenience of keyless entry and ignition. If you encounter any issues during the programming process, don’t hesitate to contact a professional or consult your local Hyundai dealership for assistance.
