Programming your 2003 Toyota Avalon Key Fob is a straightforward process that can save you a trip to the dealership. If you have a new or replacement key fob for your 2003 Toyota Avalon, you can easily program it yourself with these simple steps. This guide will walk you through each step to get your remote working quickly.
Here are the programming instructions for your 2003 Toyota Avalon Key Fob Remote:
- Make sure the key is out of the ignition.
- Open and unlock only the driver’s side door. Ensure all other doors and the trunk are closed tightly.
- Within 5 seconds of opening the driver’s door, insert your key into the ignition switch and then immediately pull it out twice in a row.
- Close the driver’s side door, and then open it again twice. This should be two complete close and open cycles.
- Insert the key into the ignition one more time, and then remove it.
- Again, close the driver’s side door, and then open it twice. Two close-open cycles here as well.
- Insert the key into the ignition switch and this time, leave it in the ignition. Do not remove it.
- Close the driver’s side door.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and then immediately turn it back to the OFF position. Do not start the engine, just cycle the ignition.
- Remove the key from the ignition switch.
- At this point, the door locks should automatically cycle (lock then unlock). This indicates that your 2003 Toyota Avalon has successfully entered key fob programming mode.
- Take the first key fob you wish to program. Press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously for about 1.5 seconds. After releasing both buttons, immediately press and hold only the LOCK button for 2 seconds.
- The door locks should cycle once more to confirm that the remote has been successfully programmed. If you have additional key fobs to program, repeat step 12 with each additional remote. If you are finished programming remotes, proceed to the next step.
- Open the driver’s side door. This action will finalize the programming sequence, and programming is now complete for your 2003 Toyota Avalon key fob.
