Change Made To 2007 Model Year Key Fob - keywords detected engine fob ignition inoperative key no off on program RCDLR receiver RKE transmitter

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Some customers may comment that the keyfob they received with their new 2007 vehicle does not match the photo shown in the customer's owners manual. Further, when ordering the key fob shown in the customer's owners manual, the same key fob used in prior model years is received from SPO.

The key fob shown in the customer's owners manual (or the second image shown below) never went into production vehicles. The keyfob in the first image below is the correct keyfob for all 2007 and prior model vehicles. An insert was placed in all production vehicles owners manual stating this change. Do not attempt to order this new style key fob as it is not available.

Note: Some General Motors internal Fleet vehicles may have been equipped with the new style key fob below. If this fob is serviced/replaced for any reason, the fob shown above will be the replacement part. This will only be a concern when a General Motors Fleet vehicle is purchased by a Dealer at an Auction. Again, do not attempt to order this new style key fob (shown below) as it is no longer available.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
