My keyless remote for toyota highlander wont work, how can i reprogram it?

I would suggest contacting Toyota tecnical support and giving them your details,year, model etc.

what key color black or grey each color key programs differently.need to know key color.

You will need to see the dealer on this issue, the control module needs to be scanned.

May be keyfob needs reprogramming.

Keyfob remote reprogramming is not very difficult but on some cases it can be done by dealer service tools.

If the remote s faulty then key fob will not get programmed.

Insert the key in ignition. Turn the key to on position, and cycle the key three times off-on-off-on-off-on. Then with the key fob remote select your remote and then try to operate the vehicle with remote.

These are just the basic procedure, but sometimes it will not help.

On that case dealer is the only option.

Check with a Toyota dealer for your info

Check the hood pin switch. It's located under the hood around the edge of the engine compartment. It's designed to make contact with the hood when the hood is closed. Also, check for a remote start shutdown toggle switch under the dash.

my friend, i think you need to reprogram your remote keyless entry, find it on your owners manual, or you may go to toyota service center to reset your keys and lock system

Remote has to be reprogramed. Look in owners for proceedure. If you don't have a manual call the dealer. May have to take vehicle to them to reprogram it with a scantool
