      1998 - 2000 Chevrolet Venture Van, 1998 - 2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette, 1998 - 2000 Pontiac Montana Remote Programming Instructions

      1. Remove key from ignition.
      2. Remove the "BCM PRGRM" fuse from the fuse panel, accessed by opening the front passenger door. Use the legend on the fuse panel to properly locate the "BCMPRGRM" fuse.
      3. Close all of the doors.
      4. Close the liftgate.
      5. Insert keys into the ignition, and turn the ignition lock cylinder to ACC (one click towards you -- the opposite direction from starting the engine).
      6. Turn the ignition lock cylinder to off, and then back to ACC within 1 second.
      7. Open and close any of the vehicle's doors. A chime will be heard when the system enters the programming mode.
      8. Press and hold the remote lock and unlock buttons simultaneously for 14 seconds. After 7 seconds, a chime should be heard confirming successful synchronization. It is still necessary to wait approximately 14 seconds for a second chime that will confirm successful programming. Your new remote has been accepted and all existing remote codes have been erased at this time.
      9. Repeat the previous step on each additional remote to be programed (including any existing remotes).
      10. Remove the ignition key from the ignition lock cylinder. 
      11. Install the "BCMPRGRM" fuse back into the fuse panel.
