Remote Control Programming

The RS3000 ECU can be programmed to be operated by as many as 4 REMOTE CONTROLS. Additionally, the provided REMOTE CONTROL'S 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); ECU location varies by vehicle, and vehicle model.

NOTE: Please contact your Toyota dealer for an appointment to add or delete REMOTE CONTROLS to your system. Additional REMOTE CONTROLS may be purchased in your Toyota dealer's parts department.

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 MONITOR'S LED turns on for 5 seconds.

    -YOU MUST PERFORM THE NEXT STEP WITHIN 5 SECONDS-

  3. Press and release a REMOTE CONTROL'S top or bottom button.*

    The STATUS MONITOR'S 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 CONTROL'S code, we recommend that you program all of your REMOTE CONTROLS at the same time.
