Are you having trouble with your 2008 Scion tC key fob? Perhaps it’s stopped working, or you’ve purchased a new key fob and need to get it programmed to your vehicle. Luckily, programming a key fob for your 2008 Scion tC can often be done yourself at home without needing to visit a dealership. This guide will provide you with clear, easy-to-follow instructions on how to program your 2008 Scion tC key fob, saving you time and money.
Before you begin, ensure you have all your key fobs that you wish to program for your vehicle. Programming must be done for all remotes at the same time. Follow these steps carefully to program your 2008 Scion tC key fob:
- Begin with your Scion tC key out of the ignition.
- Open and unlock only the driver’s side door. Make sure all other doors are closed, including the trunk or hatch.
- Within 5 seconds of opening the driver’s door, insert the key into the ignition switch and pull it out twice in quick succession.
- Close, and then open, the driver’s side door twice.
- Insert the key into the ignition switch and then remove it once.
- Close, and then open, the driver’s side door twice again.
- Insert the key into the ignition switch one last time and leave it in the ignition cylinder. Do not turn it.
- Close the driver’s side door.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, then immediately turn it back to the OFF position. Do not start the engine.
- Remove the key from the ignition.
- At this point, you should observe the door locks cycling (locking and unlocking automatically). This indicates that your 2008 Scion tC has successfully entered key fob programming mode.
- Take the first key fob you want to program. Press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously for about 1.5 seconds. After releasing both, 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 for each additional remote. If you have programmed all your remotes, proceed to the next step.
- Open the driver’s side door. This action will finalize the programming sequence, and programming for your 2008 Scion tC key fob is now complete.
You should now test each of your programmed key fobs to ensure they are working correctly with your 2008 Scion tC.
