Keyless Entry Remote Fob Programming Instructions for the 2002 Toyota MR2

Important Notice: The 2002 Toyota MR2 is equipped with onboard programming capabilities for standard keyless entry remote fobs. Follow the instructions below carefully to enter programming mode and register one or more remotes.

Programming Procedure:

• Step 1: Begin with the key completely out of the ignition. The driver’s door must be open, all other doors closed, and the driver’s door unlocked.
• Step 2: Within 5 seconds, perform the following actions: Insert the key into the ignition (do not turn), then remove it. Insert the key again (do not turn), then remove it.
• Step 3: Within 40 seconds, complete this sequence: Close and then open the driver’s door. Close and then open the driver’s door again. Insert the key into the ignition (do not turn), then remove it.
• Step 4: Within the next 40 seconds, continue with the following steps: Close and then open the driver’s door. Close and then open the driver’s door again. Insert the key into the ignition and leave it in place. Close the driver’s door. Turn the ignition to the ON position (do not start the engine), then turn it back to OFF. Remove the key from the ignition.
• Step 5: Within 3 seconds, the door locks should automatically cycle—locking and unlocking once—to confirm that the vehicle has entered programming mode. If the locks do not cycle, start over from Step 1.
• Step 6: Within 40 seconds, follow these steps to program each remote: Press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the remote simultaneously for approximately 1.5 seconds. Release both buttons, then press and hold the LOCK button alone for 2 seconds. If the locks cycle once, the remote has been successfully programmed. If the locks cycle twice, the programming failed—repeat Step 6 for that remote.
• Step 7: Repeat Step 6 for any additional remotes you wish to program (up to four total).
• Step 8: Open the driver’s door to exit programming mode.
