Programming Your Toyota Corolla Key Fob – Step-by-Step
Before you begin, ensure you have all your key fobs you wish to program for your vehicle. This procedure should program all of them in one go.
Here’s how to program your 2007 Toyota Corolla key fob:
-
Start with Key Out and Driver’s Door Open: Make sure the key is removed from the ignition. Open and unlock only the driver’s side door. Ensure all other doors and the trunk are closed.
-
Insert and Remove Key Twice (Within 5 Seconds): Within 5 seconds of step 1, insert your key into the ignition and pull it out twice in quick succession.
-
Close and Open Driver’s Door Twice: Immediately after step 2, close and then open the driver’s side door two times.
-
Insert and Remove Key Once: Insert the key into the ignition and then remove it one time.
-
Close and Open Driver’s Door Twice Again: Once more, close and then open the driver’s side door two times.
-
Insert Key and Leave in Ignition: Insert the key into the ignition and this time, leave it in. Do not turn it.
-
Close Driver’s Door: Close the driver’s side door.
-
Turn Ignition ON and OFF: Switch the ignition to the “ON” position, then immediately switch it back to the “OFF” position. Do not start the engine.
-
Remove Key from Ignition: Take the key out of the ignition.
-
Locks Will Cycle: You should now observe the door locks cycling automatically. This indicates that your Toyota Corolla has successfully entered programming mode.
-
Program First Remote (Lock and Unlock Buttons): On the first key fob you wish to program, press and hold both the “LOCK” and “UNLOCK” buttons simultaneously for about 1.5 seconds. Release both buttons, and immediately press and hold only the “LOCK” button for 2 seconds.
-
Locks Cycle Again (Confirmation): The door locks will cycle once more to confirm that the remote has been programmed successfully.
-
Program Additional Remotes (If Any): If you have more key fobs to program, repeat step 12 for each additional remote. If not, proceed to the next step.
