key fobs help

[patkelly4370]

Similarly frustrating, possibly more, we have a vehicle (not a T4R) where the remote lock/unlock works sometimes. Not often.
We are now Neanderthals and use the actual key to unlock the door(s).
Rockin it old school.

Probably have some broken wires in your drivers door or tailgate under the boot.

Most of mine are key only no fob.

I am a hobby mechanic that have owned Toyotas for almost 30 years and started working on them when I was 14 years old.

We do have many users on here that are daily mechanics. Not me though. Its just a hobby.

I own 5 of the 3rd gens.

Anyhow. Your harnesses and locations will have to be verified.

I am suspecting your rig will not have the plugs.

I will look at my 2001 and see if it was moved or not. I thinking it was but that will tell me for sure.

I did look no stickers on my 01 sport and no module under my seat. Maybe another user can confirm this. I am thinking it went under the driver side kick panel now. However, not 100% on that location.

Lok under the drivers seat. If there is a black box, I think that is the security system. I know that's what it is on my 1998, so it might be moved to inside the dash for your year. If you have the box, you should have the security system. Correct me if I am wrong, I don't think the security system was standard on SR5s

Unfortunately not all sr5 have the security system. Actually none of mine do except the limited and my sport.

I believe it's an add on feature in the 1996 through 1998. From what I found out thus far.

The Sr5 package itself has a default set features. Like tach. Power windows, power locks.

Your system is exactly like mine RS3000 if its dealer installed [ 1998]


This is why we have 2 different fobs on the 3rd gen spectrum.

I think the change went down in 1999 but I am not 100% sure on that.

for anyone still wondering, you can check what system you have/if you have one or not by going on the toyota owners website and making an account with your VIN.

Mine came from the previous owner with just a plain key but according to my specs, "V3 V.I.P.-RS3000 SECURITY SYSTEM" was installed at the port by Toyota. So, hopefully I can program a new fob without issues. just have to figure out black or gray...

Yup or by checking with your local dealer.



The problem comes in when things get removed or changed.

You can also goto a local dealer with your title and get the builds sheets as well. Comes in handy if you need the key code provided PO didn't rekey the rig.

So which year is yours?
