2002 Sequoia master key and remote

[fortaz]

I purchased a used 2002 Sequoia and only recieved one gray sub key and no remotes. Can anyone tell me the cheapest and easiest way to purchase and get 2 master keys made and 2 remotes. I have been told unbelievable prices from the Toyota dealer. Any help to not break the bank would be greatly appreciated! I am located near Columbus, OH so reccomendations nearby would be great.

If you only have a sub/valet key, the ONLY way to get additional keys programmed is to have the ECM either replaced or "flashed". The dealer will want you to REPLACE the unit (the more expensive options), but you can take the car to a newer, reputable locksmith. There are usually a few in each major city. I live in Cincinnati and know of a couple. They can "flash" the ECM and reprogram it to a new "master" key, which will them allow you to purchase additional (up to FOUR) master keys to program to your car. AS for the remote. I would purchase one on ebay for about $20 shipped and use the instructions on this forum (or download them from my FTP site: ftp://brets.net ) to program the remote yourself.

Just so you know... either process is going to be quite spendy. It's just quite a bit cheaper to keep the perfectly fine ECM that you have now and reprogram it as opposed to taking a perfectly good working piece of equipment out and replacing it with another (dealer recommended).

If I were you, I'd choose the first. Good luck. If you need any other recommendations, feel free to email me: [email protected]

1. unlock all of the doors in the car, open the driver's side door, and make sure the key is not in the ignition
2. put the key into the ignition and then pull it out without turning it or anything
3. within 40 seconds, lock and then unlock the doors five times using the power lock button on the driver's side door.
4. close the door and then open it again
5. within 40 seconds lock and then unlock the doors five times again using the power lock button.
6. Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the on position (not acc and not far enough to actually start the engine) and then back to the off position, then back to on and back to off.
7. Pull the key out of the ignition
8. If you are successful, after about 5 seconds, the doors should power lock and then unlock on their own. If that doesn't happen then try again from step 1.
9. within 40 seconds, hold down the lock and unlock button simultaneously on the remote for a second. Then release and hold down the lock button for 3 seconds. The power locks should cycle again once on their own. If they don't cycle exactly once, repeat this step from the beginning with the remote again.
10. Repeat step 9 for every remote you want to program. You have to do this with any remotes that were previously programmed because this process essentially resets what remotes the car will respond to.
11. Close the driver's side door to signify that you are done programming the remotes.
