      HINT:

      • When a key is not inserted in the key cylinder on the automatic registration mode, the security indicator always comes.
      • When the immobilizer system operates normally and the key is pulled out, the security indicator blinks.
    2. Automatic registration mode completion

      If completing the mode forcibly when registering more than 1 key code on the automatic registration mode, perform the following procedures.

      After registering 1 more key code with master key, perform step (1) or (2) without pulling the key out or inserting the already registered key.

      1. Turn the ignition switch LOCK -> ON 5 times within 10 sec.
      2. With the LEXUS hand-held tester, require automatic registration mode completion.
  2. REGISTRATION OF ADDITIONAL MASTER KEY AND SUB KEY 

    It is possible to carry out additional registration of the supply key.

    HINT:

    • It is possible to register up to 5 master key codes including the already registered key code.
    • It is possible to register up to 3 sub key codes including the already registered key code.
    • When any operation period described below is over, registration mode cannot be completed.
    • When the next procedure is performed while the previous timer is working, the timer stops counting time, and then the next timer starts.
    • When replacing "Ignition Cylinder Key Set" or "Lock Cylinder Set", perform registration following the procedure using the original master key. However, after the registration of the additional master key, as the original master key and the original sub-key is not necessary any more, erase registration of those key codes.
    • For the registration order, it is not necessary to distinguish between Main and Sub. (Main key and Sub key are automatically identified)

    When a registration error in the transponder key ECU is detected, the security indicator indicates the following codes.

    INDICATOR CODES

    2-1 Communication error between the key to be registered and the transponder key ECU
    2-2 When trying to register the key that is already registered
