03 1.8 key fob programming - 427MikeB
My remote key fob suddenly stopped locking the doors, the light on the fob still worked so the battery should have been fine. I changed the battery anyway but still can't get it to lock the doors.
I have searched on the site and found a solution you gave for a 98 Avensis, but that doesn't seem to work for me. Is there another sequence I can try or do you think there's a problem with the system itself?
thanks
Mike

Did some surfing, there seem to be a few different code sequences. This one worked for me
Mike

Copied from another site..


1. Driver door open and unlocked. Key out of the ignition
2. Insert the key and remove 2 times in 5 sec.
3. Close and open driver door 2 times in 40 sec.
4. Insert the key and remove it again from ignition.
5. Close and open driver door 2 times in 40 sec.
6. Insert the key in ignition,
7. Close the door,
8. Turn to on and back to lock in 1 second intervals. 1 time for add, 2 times for rewrite, 3 for confirmation 5 for prohibition. (yes, there is no ?4?)
9. Remove the key
10. Power lock will cycle to confirm
11. For add or rewrite mode within 40 sec of the confirmation,
A. press ?lock? and ?unlock? buttons of the FOB at the same time between 1 and 1.5 seconds.
B. within 3 sec press ?Lock? button for more than 1 sec and release.
C. If it?s correct, the power door lock will cycle once. If it?s wrong the door lock will cycle twice.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
