Lost your key fob or need to program a new one for your 2000 Toyota Tundra? Forget the dealership! You can easily program your key fob yourself at home, saving time and money. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process to get your remote working again in minutes.
Here’s how to program your 2000 Tundra key fob:
-
Begin with your key removed from the ignition. Ensure the driver’s side door is open, all other doors are closed, and the driver’s door is unlocked.
-
Within 5 seconds, perform the following actions twice:
a. Insert the key into the ignition (do not turn it).
b. Remove the key from the ignition. -
Within 40 seconds, complete these steps:
a. Close and then open the driver’s side door.
b. Close and then open the driver’s side door again.
c. Insert the key into the ignition (do not turn it).
d. Remove the key from the ignition. -
Within 40 seconds, proceed with these steps:
a. Close and then open the driver’s side door.
b. Close and then open the driver’s side door again.
c. Insert the key into the ignition and leave it in the ignition.
d. Close the driver’s door.
e. Turn the ignition to the ON position (do not start the engine) and then back to the OFF position.
f. Remove the key from the ignition. -
Within 3 seconds after removing the key, the power door locks should automatically cycle (lock then unlock). This indicates that you have successfully entered programming mode. If the locks do not cycle, return to step 1 and repeat the process.
-
Within 40 seconds, program your key fob(s):
a. Simultaneously press and hold the lock and unlock buttons on the remote for 1.5 seconds.
b. Immediately after releasing both buttons, press and hold the lock button alone for 2 seconds. 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, repeat steps 6a and 6b, as the remote was not properly accepted.
c. Repeat steps 6a and 6b for each additional remote you need to program. -
Open the driver’s door to exit programming mode.
Congratulations! You have now successfully programmed your 2000 Toyota Tundra key fob. You should now be able to lock and unlock your doors using your remote. If you encounter any issues, double-check each step and try again. For further assistance, consider consulting your owner’s manual or seeking professional help.
