Lost your key fob or need to program a new one for your 2004 Toyota Highlander? No need to worry! Programming your key fob can be a straightforward process you can do right at home. This guide provides you with easy-to-follow instructions to program your 2004 Toyota Highlander Key Fob quickly and efficiently.
Before you begin, ensure you have your new, unprogrammed key fob for your 2004 Toyota Highlander. Follow these steps carefully to successfully program your remote:
Programming Steps:
- Make sure your Toyota Highlander is turned off and the key is out of the ignition.
- Open and unlock only the driver’s side door. Ensure all other doors, including the trunk and passenger doors, are closed.
- Within 5 seconds of opening the driver’s door, insert your key into the ignition, and then immediately pull it out twice in a row.
- Manually close, and then open the driver’s side door twice.
- Insert the key into the ignition and then remove it.
- Manually close, and then open the driver’s side door again twice.
- Insert the key into the ignition and leave it in the ignition cylinder; do not turn it.
- Close the driver’s side door.
- Turn the ignition 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, the door locks should automatically cycle (lock then unlock) once. This indicates that your 2004 Toyota Highlander has successfully entered programming mode. If the locks do not cycle, repeat steps 1-10.
- Take your new key fob remote. 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 again to confirm successful programming of this remote. If you have additional key fobs to program, repeat step 12 with each additional remote. If you have no more remotes to program, proceed to the next step.
- Open the driver’s side door. This action completes the key fob programming sequence.
Congratulations! You have now successfully programmed your 2004 Toyota Highlander key fob. Test all the buttons on your new remote to ensure they are working correctly.
