Programming New Remote Transmitter(s) on Port Installed Keyless Entry System

[tprisher]

Please help. I have a 2004 Sequoia. The two remotes which came with the vehicle both stopped working. I purchased a new remote with FCC ID: ELVATDD from the dealer. I have tried the procedure above and I can not get the remote to work. Can someone help???

I, too only had one remote and finally the battery died so I changed it. Remote no worky after that. I searched around here and found several threads and called Gulf States Toyota and their tech was EXTREMELY helpful.

The tech walked me through the programming for my 04 Tundra DoubleCab but we were unable to successfully program the darn remote. He asked if I wanted him to email me some PDF files for this keyless system and I told him yes of course.

In the file "multi_vehicle_gst_keyless_identification_programm ing_guide_audiovox_1997_07.pdf" it says on page one below first remote pictured (GST Part# 00012-KS004) *NOTE: Keyless Entry w/Security is installed in the Celica and Rav4, but Keyless Entry ONLY is installed in the Corolla, Camry and Tundra D Cab (2004-2006). Going to page three of thirteen in that PDF you come to the GST Keyless Programming Guide. Which is as follows:

Step 1: To get started, enter the vehicle and close all doors, then lock the doors by using the door lock switch mounted on the driver's door panel.

Step 2: Turn the vehicle's ignition key ON then OFF 7 times ....ending in the off position. (personal observation was that no time necessary to wait between cycles)

Step 3: Press and Hold the Lock button on the transmitter (remote) until the Driver's Door Unlocks. (personal observation was that my doors didn't unlock but once I held the lock button on the remote for a couple seconds, I pressed unlock and all doors unlocked. This seems to conflict with another manual that says for step 3 to press and hold the unlock button until driver's door unlocks. You may have to try both to see what works for your vehicle.)

Step 4: Lock all doors by using the door lock switch mounted on the driver's door panel.

Step 5: Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for all transmitters that you need to program to operate the vehicle. Max of 4 per vehicle.

I hope this helps some people and saves some of you guys the 40-50 bucks the dealers want to do this for you. I will post this in several threads concerning this problem.

YES!!! Thank You! This one worked, I've tried several. I have Remote ELVAT1B.

This also worked for me. The trick is to do everything within 15 seconds. This means you really have to work the ignition key back and forth.

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.
