Is your 2000 Acura TL key fob not working? Or perhaps you need to program a new key fob for your vehicle? Losing or damaging your key fob can be a real hassle, but the good news is that programming a new key fob for your 2000 Acura TL can often be done yourself without a trip to the dealership. This guide provides you with simple, step-by-step instructions to program your 2000 Acura TL key fob quickly and efficiently.
Before you begin, it’s important to understand a couple of key points regarding the programming process for your 2000 Acura TL. Entering programming mode will erase all previously programmed key fobs. This means you will need to reprogram all of your key fobs, not just the new one. Also, each step in the programming sequence must be completed within 4 seconds of the previous step to prevent the system from exiting programming mode. Finally, you must program all remotes within 10 seconds of each other once you are in the programming sequence. Having all your remotes ready before you start is highly recommended.
Now, let’s get started with the programming procedure:
-
Turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position. This is the position right before you would crank the engine to start.
-
Within 4 seconds of turning the ignition ON, press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on one of your key fobs. It doesn’t matter if the key fob is currently programmed or not for this step.
-
Within 4 seconds of pressing the key fob button, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position. This is the position where the car is completely off.
-
Within 4 seconds of turning the ignition to LOCK (0), turn the ignition switch back to the ON (II) position.
-
Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 two more times using the same key fob you used in step 2. You will have completed the sequence of ON, press button, LOCK, ON a total of three times.
-
Within 4 seconds of the last ignition ON cycle, press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the same key fob used in step 2. If you have successfully entered programming mode, the power door locks should cycle (lock and unlock) automatically. This confirms you are now in programming mode and ready to program your key fobs.
-
Within 10 seconds of the door locks cycling, press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the same key fob again.
-
Within 10 seconds, press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on each of the other key fobs you wish to program. For each key fob button press, the power door locks should cycle to confirm that the system has accepted the remote’s programming.
-
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position to exit programming mode. The door locks should cycle one last time to indicate the process is complete.
-
Test all programmed key fobs to ensure they are working correctly by pressing the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons and verifying the doors respond.
By following these steps carefully, you should be able to successfully program your 2000 Acura TL key fobs.
