Registration of Additional Key(S) Without Using the Scan Tool



Registration of additional key(s) without using the scan tool
If the scan tool is not available, new key(s) can be registered by operating two keys which have been registered to the vehicle (A maximum of eight keys can be registered to one vehicle). Follow the procedure below to register new key(s) to the vehicle.

NOTE: The registered key is the key that allows you to start the engine.







1. Turn on the ignition switch by using the first registered key (key A), and wait for five seconds.
2. Within 30 seconds, remove the key
3. Within seven seconds after the ignition switch has been turned to the "LOCK" (OFF), insert the second registered key (key B) and turn on the ignition switch again. Now the theft-alarm indicator light should blink twice for one second. If it does not blink, you has failed to register. Repeat from step 1.
4. Turn on the key B. Within 30 seconds, remove the key.
5. Within seven seconds after the ignition switch has been turned to the "LOCK" (OFF) position, turn on the ignition switch by using a new key.







6. The immobilizer-ECU identifies the new key to accept or reject it, and operates the theft-alarm indicator (See the table).
7. A maximum of eight ignition keys can be registered to one vehicle (If you attempt to register the ninth key, the immobilizer-ECU rejects the key). Follow the procedure below to register another new key.
1. Within 30 seconds after the new key has been registered on step 6, remove the key.
2. Within seven seconds after the ignition switch has been turned to the "LOCK" (OFF), insert another new key and turn on the ignition switch.
3. To register more other ignition key(s), repeat steps 1 and 2.

8. If any of the following conditions are satisfied, the additional key registration mode will terminate:
- The ignition switch has been on for more than 30 seconds
- After the ignition key has been turned to the "LOCK" (OFF), the engine control relay is turned off.
- The scan tool has started communicating with vehicle systems.

9. After the registration mode has terminated, the additionally registered key(s) should allow you to start the engine.
