Just picked up a new keyless entry for my 98 4runner. Instead of paying the 50 dollars they charge I wanted to setup the keyless entry myself.

My car has the factory alarm.

I searched and found nothing on this matter besides links to websites that no longer exist.

Anyone have the instructions?

Thanks,
Jeff

 

Found the instructions, wow so easy. I can't believe they charge so much for this.

Remote Control Programming
The RS3000 ECU can be programmed to be operated by as many as 4 remote controls. Additionally, the provided remote controls top and bottom buttons may be assigned to operate another 1998 or 1999 model vehicles RS3000 security system, and both buttons can be programmed to operate the system in one vehicle. To add or delete a remote control, you must access the RS3000 ECU (computer), location varies by vehicle and model.
To program (add) a remote control to the system:
1: Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to on.
2: Press and hold the ECU's programming switch for 3 seconds. The status monitors LED turns on for 5 seconds.
***You must perform the next step within 5 seconds***
3: Press and release a remote controls top or bottom button. Either button on your remote control can be programmed to operate the RS3000. The status monitors LED turns off. The piezo chirper chirps once. The exterior lights flash once.
4: Turn off the ignition. The ECU will now operate with the remote control just programmed.
Note: The factory preset operation is for the top button on both remote controls to operate your system; the bottom button is not programmed. To prevent accidental erasure of a remote controls code, we recommend that you program all your remote controls at the same time.

Just an FYI, the ECU is mounted underneath the driver's seat. It's a black box and you will see a little hole on the side towards the door. Just get a pen and press it and do the above steps.

 

this would make a good **sticky!

 

I second the sticky!

 

Can anyone tell me where the actual "chirper" is. Sometimes mine works and sometimes it doesn't. I am assuming that it is just a bad connection somewhere, but I cant find the thing!!

 

When I push in the green button on the side of the ECU, I don't hear or feel any click. Is the LED mentioned on the ECU, or on the dash? No joy here

I didn't see a light on mine either, I just pressed it and followed the steps above and it works. Just make sure you have the right fob. Mines a 98 and the fob is black.

 

OK I found where the LED is. It's on the console between the 2 front seats. It says Toyota Security.
I didn't have any success with programming my new remote. I think the Immobilizer has been disabled on my 4Runner. Is the LED supposed to constantly blink to indicate that the system is working? On my 2005 Sienna, the LED constantly blinks.
