- Problem
- The Malibu needed a programmed proximity fob in Taylor — push-to-start, not a metal-key copy.
- Diagnosis
- A proximity fob has to match the vehicle and be taught to the immobilizer. Programming is done at the car with the diagnostic tool in the cabin.
- Work
- Confirm the Malibu and the correct fob.
- Program the proximity fob on site in Taylor.
- Test range start, lock, and unlock.
- Result
- A working push-to-start fob left with the vehicle.
