Common Locksmith Issues with the Holden Captiva
As with many vehicles, the Holden Captiva is not without its share of common locksmith-related issues, especially with older models. Some of the most frequent problems include:
-
Lost Keys and Key Programming
Programming new keys for the Holden Captiva requires specialized tools, such as Autel, VVDI Key Tool Max, and Smart Pro. Key programming for Holden Captivas from 2005 to 2014 requires two keys to be programmed, and vehicles often use a Chevrolet circle chip. -
Ignition System Problems
Over time, the ignition system in the Captiva can wear out, making it difficult to start the vehicle or turn the key. Ignition repair or replacement is common for older models and can be quickly resolved by our skilled locksmiths. -
Proximity Key Issues
Newer Holden Captiva models that use proximity keys often experience problems with key recognition, particularly if all keys are lost. Programming these proximity keys requires a waiting period, and key slots are often located under the center console.
