99 4runner Limited remote programming

Hello, I have tried to program the keyless remote several times but the locks cycle twice and won't accept the remote. I have purchased a total of three remotes with the same part number as the one that is currently working, tried new battteries with no luck. The origional remote still works with the 99 4runner. Anyone out there have this problem or know how to fix it. Does this vehicle have a factory alarm? I've tried two different sets of instructions but no luck.
Thanks

doesnt programming a remote make you look like a idiot? open and close the door & stepping on your brakes.

YES YES!!

That is one of the reasons i installed an aftermarket one!

Why?
Better range and easier to manage.

POS toyota crap

Trust me, it is not even worth discussing. The range sux, there is no manual and the stealer will charge an arm and leg just to look at it.

If you just want keyless entry just get an aftermarket. You dont even have to remove the factory. They work in harmony.
EZZZZZZZZZZ

There should be no question whether you have an alarm or not, assuming it's factory. Do you have the little red light next to the the steering column. You could also lock it up with the windows down, then pull one of the locks up w/ your hand and open the door, if the alarm doesn't go off you don't have the factory VIP system. Check the FCC ID on the back of your remote. My 2000 w/ the factory VIP alarm used FCC ID - HYQ1512Y, my 02 w/o the alarm uses HYQ12BAN. One of those numbers should work for you. I had to enter the program mode twice before I actually got it to take with both my trucks.
 
yuk

The factory is horrible.
My dad's 02 sequoia's remote just stop working one day.
took me an 1hr to fix it!

open this, close that, turn this.
I was so pissed.

That is when I ripped out mine (well disgarded for later).
The aftermarket like i mentioned massages in with the factory so there is no need to remove it.

I tested it. I left my windows down and armed my truck with my new alarm. Stuck my hand in and opened the door. BOTH ALARMS went off!!!

LOUD AND CRAZY! I was loving it!!
WHOO HOO!!

DOUBLE protection.
 
Re: yuk

I discovered you have to do the entire dance twice - once to clear the codes and again to program it.
 
1. Start with the following conditions: you are in the vehicle

a. Key is out of the ignition
b. Drive door is open ( all other doors are closed)
c. Driver door is unlocked (other door locks don't matter)

2. Insert the key into the ignition (don't turn it) and pull it out.

3. Perform these steps within 40 seconds:

a. Cycle the power locks 5 times. Use an even pace and try
to go relatively fast.

b. Close, then open the drivers door.

4. Perform these steps within 40 seconds:

a. Cycle the power locks 5 times (same as before).
b. Turn the ignition to ON then back to OFF.
c. Turn the ignition to ON then back to OFF.
d. Remove the key from the ignition.

5. Within 3 seconds, the power door locks should cycle (automatically)
indicating successful entry into programming mode. Return to step 1
if the locks do not cycle at this point.

6. Perform these steps within 40 seconds:

a. Press the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter
simultaneously for 1 second.

b. Immediately after letting go of the lock and unlock buttons,
press the lock button by itself and hold for 2 seconds.
Within 3 seconds, the door locks should cycle ( LOCK then
UNLOCK) once-- indicating successful programming. If
the door locks don't cycle, or cycle twice. Repeat steps
6a and 6b--this remote has not been accepted.

c. Repeat steps 6a and 6b for EACH transmitter that will
operate the vehicle. Including any old transmitters.

7. Close the driver door.
 
Yea, I,ve tried this several times. With new batteries and different remotes. The locks always cycle twice. The numbers on the remotes are the same as my one working remote. Any ideas anyone?
 
I was able to do this successfully last night!! I can't tell you how relieved I was that I was able to do this myself.

I went to the dealer a few days ago, and they said they would have to "hook the remote up to a computer" to reprogram it.

I knew that they were full of it. But they still insisted that they would have to do that, and charge me $100.

Thanks for your help guys!
 
Anyone know if this works on 98 runners? I've gone throught the steps a dozen times and can't get it to work.
 
I have a 97 (should be the same, right?) and if memory serves, I had to hit the red button on the ECM under the seat prior to doing these steps when i ordered my new Fob.
 
got one remote to program, having a heck of a time getting into program mode, my drivers door is getting tired after 10 or so trys and quits cycling, it rests and is fine later?
 
do you have to program both remotes at the same time? I got my other remote programmed, works great, now the first remote does not work at all?
What gives?
