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:

1. Security light continues to blink = The key is not recognized
2. Security light stays on for 2-3 seconds = Valet key
3. 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
