2001 ES300 Remote Programming
There are a few different versions of keyless remote programming instructions floating around here. None of them worked for my 2001 ES300. I got pretty close, but not quite. I did find a procedure from another forum for an IS300 and that worked great. So I am just throwing this out there. I don't know enough about these cars yet to know what years it should work on or why the other versions didn't work for me. If anyone gives this a try on other than a 2001 let us know what model year it worked on.
Remote Programming
1. Close and lock all doors. Unlock and open drivers door.
2. Put key into ignition and remove. Do not turn it on.
3. Using the electric lock switch. Lock and unlock 5 times. (Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock)
4. Close and open drivers door.
5. Using the electric lock switch. Lock and unlock 5 times.(Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock)
6. Put key into ignition. Turn to "ON", turn off and remove.
7. You will see the door locks cycle by themselves.
If the door lock do not cycle (lock, unlock) by themselves then the car isn't in programming mode and you must start over.
8. On the remote. Press and hold Lock and Unlock button at the same time for no more than 2 seconds.
9. On the remote, press the Lock button for no more than 1 second.
AT THIS POINT. The locks should cycle by themselves ONE time. This means the procedure was accepted.
IF the locks cycle TWICE it have failed.
The most common reason for programming failure is because the car didn't receive a good signal from the remove. To fix this problem try these tips. 1) Stand outside of the car while you are performing step 8 and 9. 2) Don't hold the remove buttons down as long.
As long as the car is still in programming mode you can keep trying step 8 and 9 until you complete the programming. If you wait too long and the car exits the programming mode then you must start over.
After you get the remote to program then continue on with step 10.
10) Close and open door to end programming procedure.
