I have an 03 Sequoia that had 2 ELVAT1B remotes. They both were replaced during warranty. Now out of warranty, one failed after the other one. I bought four replacements (used) from
ebay (3 elvat1b and 1 elvatdd), but for the life of me, I could not get them programmed. I followed the steps outlined in the above threads but is still unsuccessful.
I went to Autozone and tried to test the remotes with the battery tester to see if any of the 4 remotes emit an RF signal. The result was negative. It seems that every other remote will emit an RF signal programmed or not, right? If it does not emit an RF signal (with fresh batteries), does this mean the remotes are all bad or is the main control unit in the car is bad?
Could someone test their working remote at an autozone (auto parts store) or use a RF tester, and let me know if it emits and RF signal or not?
Maybe I just have to pay a brand new one from the stealership.
