Step-by-Step Guide to Programming Your 2000 Tundra Key Fob

This guide will walk you through the process of programming your 2000 Toyota Tundra key fob, allowing you to control your vehicle’s locks remotely. Make sure to follow each step carefully for successful programming.

Step 1: Preparation

Begin with your key out of the ignition. Ensure the driver’s door is open, all other doors are closed, and the driver’s door is unlocked. This starting position is crucial for initiating the programming sequence.

Step 2: Programming Sequence – Part 1

Within 5 seconds, perform the following actions rapidly:

1. Insert the key into the ignition (do not turn it).
2. Pull the key out of the ignition.
3. Insert the key into the ignition again (do not turn it).
4. Pull the key out of the ignition again.

Step 3: Programming Sequence – Part 2

Within 40 seconds of completing Step 2, proceed with these steps:

1. Close and then open the driver’s door.
2. Close and then open the driver’s door again.
3. Insert the key into the ignition (do not turn it).
4. Pull the key out of the ignition.

Step 4: Entering Programming Mode

Within 40 seconds of Step 3, execute the following sequence:

1. Close and then open the driver’s door.
2. Close and then open the driver’s door again.
3. Insert the key into the ignition and leave it in the ignition.
4. Close the driver’s door.
5. Turn the ignition to the ON position (do not start the engine) and then immediately turn it back to the OFF position.
6. Remove the key from the ignition.

Step 5: Confirming Programming Mode

Within 3 seconds after removing the key, the power door locks should automatically lock and then unlock. This lock cycle indicates that you have successfully entered programming mode. If the locks do not cycle, return to Step 1 and repeat the entire process.

Step 6: Programming the Remote

Within 40 seconds of entering programming mode, program your key fob(s):

1. Press and hold both the lock and unlock buttons on the remote simultaneously for 1.5 seconds.
2. Immediately after releasing both buttons, press and hold only the lock button for 2 seconds.
3. Within 3 seconds, the door locks should lock and then unlock once to confirm successful programming of that remote. If the door locks cycle twice, it indicates the remote was not accepted. In this case, repeat steps 6A and 6B for that remote.
4. Repeat steps 6A and 6B for each additional 2000 Tundra key fob you wish to program.

Step 7: Final Step

Open the driver’s door to exit the programming mode. Your 2000 Toyota Tundra key fob should now be successfully programmed and ready to use.

By following these steps, you can easily program your 2000 Tundra key fob and avoid unnecessary dealership costs. Enjoy the convenience of keyless entry once again!
