Programming Your 1999 Toyota Avalon Key Fob: Simple Steps
Before you begin, ensure you have your new, compatible key fob for your 1999 Toyota Avalon. You can order a replacement key fob here (Part Number: HYQ1512Y). This procedure is specifically for the factory-installed keyless entry system in your vehicle.
Follow these steps carefully to program your remote:
- Start in the Right Condition: Make sure your key is out of the ignition.
- Driver’s Door Focus: Open and unlock only the driver’s side door. Ensure all other doors, including the trunk, are completely closed.
- Key Insertion (and Removal): Insert your key into the ignition switch, then immediately pull it back out.
- Locate Door Lock Switch: Find the power door lock/unlock switch on the driver’s side door panel.
- Lock and Unlock Cycle (5 Times): Perform the LOCK and UNLOCK operation using the switch 5 times in quick succession. Aim for approximately one second per complete LOCK and UNLOCK cycle. (Remember: LOCK and UNLOCK counts as one cycle).
- Open and Close Driver’s Door: Close and then open the driver’s side door one time.
- Lock and Unlock Cycle Again (5 Times): Repeat the LOCK and UNLOCK operation using the switch 5 times again, maintaining the one-second cycle pace. You need to complete the next few steps within 50 seconds after this step.
- Key Back into Ignition: Insert the key into the ignition switch once more.
- Ignition ON/OFF Sequence (Twice): Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position (just before starting the engine) and then immediately turn it back to the “OFF” position. Do this sequence twice.
- Remove Key from Ignition: Take the key out of the ignition.
- Confirmation Signal: The door locks should automatically cycle (lock and unlock). This indicates that your Toyota Avalon has successfully entered programming mode.
- Program First Remote: Press and release the “lock” button on the first key fob you wish to program.
- Confirm First Remote Programming: Immediately press and hold the “lock” button on the same remote for two seconds. The door locks will cycle again to confirm successful programming of this remote.
- Program Additional Remotes (If Applicable): If you have more remotes to program, repeat steps 12 and 13 for each additional remote. If not, proceed to the next step.
- Finalize Programming: Close the driver’s side door. The programming process is now complete. Test your newly programmed key fob to ensure it’s working correctly.
