Remote Key
Programming your own remote instead of the dealer charging you $150 is well worth the time. It takes only a few minutes and no tools required. In this article we are discussing programming the remote functions in the remote transponder key. Pairing the immobilizer in the standard or remote key is covered here.
The following are replacement key part numbers by year. This is for reference as you should use your VIN for the part number ordering from Toyota.
Remote Key incl. Transmitter:
1998.01 – 2002.08 = 89070-60090
2002.08 – 2005.05 = 89070-60750
Transmitter Module for Remote Key:
1998.01 – 2002.08 = 89071-60010
2002.08 – 2003.05 = 89071-60150
2003.05 – 2005.05 = 89071-60200
The system respects up to 5 Master and 3 Valet keys. If the programming sequences don’t work for you there may be too many keys programmed. To determine the key type you have do the following:
Locate and Observe the Security light in the center stack of the dash board. The Security light should be blinking. Now insert your key into the ignition, Do Not Turn!, and simultaneously observe the Security light, 3 results are possible:
- Security light continues to blink = The key is not recognized
- Security light stays on for 2-3 seconds = Valet key
- Security light goes off immediately = Master key
Once the Key has been accepted by the ECU (the security light is off and it starts the Land Cruiser) you are ready to program the remote functions. If the remote key is not recognized then you should start with standard or remote key programming covered here.
Programming Remotes
Program Remote Key: FSM sequence E (1998-2002)
When doing any of these operations timing is critical – use a watch if you have no sense of time. :)
Begin with the key out of the ignition and drivers door open and unlocked (all other doors closed).
- Insert remote key into the ignition (Do NOT Turn) and then pull remote key out.

- Insert the key in the ignition cylinder. Turn the ignition to ON (Do NOT Start) then back to OFF
- Remove the key from the ignition.
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.
To accept a remote transmitter perform these steps within 40 seconds;
- On the remote key, press the Lock and Unlock buttons simultaneously for 1 second.
- Immediately after letting go of the Lock and Unlock buttons, press the Lock button and hold for 2 seconds.
Within 3 seconds of completing the steps above the power door locks should lock then unlock automatically. If the door locks do not cycle, your remote has not been accepted. Repeat steps 1 and 2 of remote acceptance procedure above.
Close the drivers door. Test new remote functions.
