Is your 2004 Toyota Camry key fob not working? Or perhaps you’ve acquired a new key fob and need to get it programmed to your vehicle? Luckily, programming a key fob for your 2004 Toyota Camry can often be done right at home without the need for expensive dealership visits. This guide provides a straightforward, step-by-step process to program your 2004 Toyota Camry key fob quickly and efficiently.
Follow these instructions carefully to program your key fob:
-
Start with the Ignition Off and Driver’s Door Open: Ensure your Toyota Camry is turned off and the key is removed from the ignition. Open and unlock only the driver’s side door. Make sure all other doors and the trunk are closed.
-
Key Insertion and Removal (Twice): Within 5 seconds of opening the driver’s door, insert the key into the ignition switch and pull it out twice in rapid succession.
-
Door Close and Open Cycle (Twice): Immediately after step 2, close and then open the driver’s side door twice.
-
Key Insertion and Removal (Once): Insert the key into the ignition switch one more time, and then remove it.
-
Door Close and Open Cycle (Twice Again): Close and then open the driver’s side door twice again.
-
Key Insertion and Leave In: Insert the key into the ignition switch and this time, leave it in the ignition.
-
Close Driver’s Door: Close the driver’s side door.
-
Ignition Cycle (ON then OFF): Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position, and then immediately turn it back to the “OFF” position. Do not start the engine.
-
Remove Key from Ignition: Take the key out of the ignition switch.
-
Lock Cycle Confirmation: At this point, the door locks should automatically cycle (lock then unlock). This indicates that your 2004 Toyota Camry has successfully entered programming mode.
-
Program First Remote: 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.
-
Programming Confirmation: The door locks should cycle once again to confirm that the remote has been successfully programmed. If you have additional remotes to program, repeat step 11 for each additional remote. If you are finished programming remotes, proceed to the next step.
-
Open Driver’s Door to Finalize: Open the driver’s side door. This action completes the key fob programming process for your 2004 Toyota Camry.
Now you should be able to use your newly programmed key fob to lock and unlock your 2004 Toyota Camry. If you experience any difficulties or if the programming is unsuccessful, double-check each step and ensure you are following the instructions precisely.
