Programming a Key
« on: 04 March 2011, 14:36:18 »
I have checked on this site and cannot find any reference to my problem, apologies if it is there. Anyway, I have two keys for my Omega 2.2 and both used to work, however on one key the battery went flat and stopped opening and locking remotely. Now if the car is locked remotely and I use the other key to open manually the alarm goes off and indicators flash. I reset this by putting key in ignition.
PROBLEM. I replaced the battery in the keyfob, led now lights when buttons pressed, BUT I put the key in the ignition, and tried to reprogram it but it does not work, press lock or unlock with ignition on is supposed to re-program the key but it doesn't, can anybody help on this issue or is there another way to reprogram the key?

Either:

The fob is faulty
The fob never worked
You are not correctly syncing
The Alarm ECU is faulty (very rare)


My guess would be one of the top 2 :)

The fob used to work, when the LED didn't light anymore on the key, I changed it about 4 weeks later, now the LED works again when pressing any button on the fob, even holding the lock button down, the LED stays lit as though it is shutting windows and roof so I am assuming the FOB is working. Can I do some sort of test to assertain the fob is working?

Any idea on what if anything I could be doing wrong when I try and sync the key?

The LED isn't a sure sign the fob fully works.


The resync is simply ign on, press the fob buttons a few times, the doors should lock then immediately unlock when the sync completes (usually after 2 or 3 presses)

When you try and "synch" the key ... do you a) have the ignition on b) does the car lock/unlock when you press the buttons ??

If neither of those things occur than synching will not take place .. :)

Yes the ignition was on, and I tried pressing the buttons on the keyfob a few times, both with the door open and also closed. The central locking did not lock or unlock and the key does not sync

So either fob faulty, or has been depaired from the car for some reason

Or faulty alarm ecu, which I doubt

Look in the members list for Martin Imber ... send him a PM and he'll give you details of his fob repair service ...  :y :y

You won't get better or faster .. :)
