1999 toyota 4runner keyless remote doesn't work

it nice if you do that

This sounds like an issue with the body control module.

2000 Avalon keyless remotes stopped working: solution Both keyless remotes for my 2000 Avalon stopped working. The batteries were good (I checked them with a volt-ohm meter). The Toyota dealer determined that the remote used most was defective and it tried to initialize the receiver in the car. This caused the second remote also not to work. The dealer reset the receiver (reinitialized it after first unplugging it), replaced the defective remote with a new one, and reprogrammed both remotes. Total cost: $225 labor, 164 for new remote. Later, another remote went bad. I just stopped using it.

Does the spare remote work? Have you tried to reprogram it? These remotes are very cheaply made and prone to key pad failure. To program the remote click this LINK, if that doesn't work buy anew one on eBay for cheap.

remove grille and move latch to open hood-boost battery and use key fob to enter or have locksmith or service station use a slim jim or other type of device to unlock door

not sure what remote you're talking about try being more specific we're not mind readers here.

If you're talking about your key chain remote that works your locks, it's probably got a dead battery. get a screw driver and pop it apart, go to walmart and look for the numbers on that battery and match them to a new battery.

done.

firstly make sure that the batteries can be replaced as many remotes are unrepairable, if the batteries do come out they should have a number on them, just take them to an electronics store & they should be able to sell you a compatible battery.......hope this helps......cheers.

The aftermarket remote starter probably reset. Do you have the instruction manual for it? You should be able to run it through the initial 'start up' options and set the horn to beep for you.

Thanks __________________ RAV Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged 12-31-2004 02:11 AM NoliWan Member Registered: Dec 2004 Location: San Jose, CA Posts: 34 Hey RAV, I got your PM-- Here are the instructions for programming the 99-02 4Runner Keyless Entry factory remotes: 1. Start with the following conditions: you are in the vehicle a. Key is out of the ignition b. Drive door is open ( all other doors are closed) c. Driver door is unlocked (other door locks don't matter) 2. Insert the key into the ignition (don't turn it) and pull it out. 3. Perform these steps within 40 seconds: a. Cycle the power locks 5 times. Use an even pace and try to go relatively fast. b. Close, then open the drivers door. 4. Perform these steps within 40 seconds: a. Cycle the power locks 5 times (same as before). b. Turn the ignition to ON then back to OFF. c. Turn the ignition to ON then back to OFF. d. Remove the key from the ignition. 5. Within 3 seconds, the power door locks should cycle (automatically) indicating successful entry into programming mode. Return to step 1 if the locks do not cycle at this point. 6. Perform these steps within 40 seconds: a. Press the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter simultaneously for 1 second. b. Immediately after letting go of the lock and unlock buttons, press the lock button by itself and hold for 2 seconds. Within 3 seconds, the door locks should cycle ( LOCK then UNLOCK) once-- indicating successful programming. If the door locks don't cycle, or cycle twice. Repeat steps 6a and 6b--this remote has not been accepted. c. Repeat steps 6a and 6b for EACH transmitter that will operate the vehicle. Including any old transmitters. 7. Close the driver door. Hope this helps you, it did me greatly-- Good luck, NoliWan __________________ 2000 SR5 4Runner 4WD ____________________ TRD 2nd Gen. Supercharger / TRD Headers / TRD Cat Back Exhaust / TRD Trans.

The 1512Y did not work on my 02 Sport w/o an alarm. I needed FCC ID# HYQ12BAN. Hope this helps.

I thought my remote was dead, turns out it had just lost it's programming from the dead battery. I followed this and had it fixed in 15 seconds. Yet another reason I'm glad I got rid of my Jeep.

Cycle the power locks 5 times. Does this mean lock/unlock 5 times? I am really unsure. Here is some history: Actually, I didnt buy a new remote. Mine stopped working. I have an 02 T4R. Last week I noticed the *chirp* sound wasnt working any more. Over the weekend... the Keyless Remote stopped working totally. So I radio shacked a new battery in the remote... but it still does not work. I tried these reprogramming instructions, but they do not work either. "Within 3 seconds, the power door locks should cycle (automatically)" This doesnt happen. So I am wondering if I am doing the cycle correctly ... Any Advice would be appreciated.

So it will be locked 5 times and unlocked five times. If you were doing this and the vehicle wasnt doing the automatic cycle thing, then there must be a problem with the computer and not the remote. quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can't do the steps with out setting off the car alarm, specifically the close and open the drivers door step.

Does your alarm always activate when the unlocked doors are closed? __________________ '00 SR5 4x4 ARB Tundra/OME 32" Muddies n'stuff Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged 12-15-2006 05:05 PM Advertisement Sponsored Links Ads by Google Supporting this site Also, check out these sponsored links: More Links: All times are GMT.
