Keyless Entry Remote Fob Programming Instructions for the 2002 Toyota Prius

Important Notice: The 2002 Toyota Prius supports onboard programming for standard keyless entry remote fobs. Follow the steps below carefully to enter programming mode and pair each remote.

Programming Procedure:

• Step 1: Begin with the key completely out of the ignition. Ensure the driver’s door is open, all other doors are closed, and the driver’s door is unlocked.
• Step 2: Within 5 seconds, complete the following: Insert the key into the ignition (do not turn), then remove it. Insert the key a second time (do not turn), then remove it.
• Step 3: Within 40 seconds, perform the following 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, proceed with these actions: 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 vehicle), then turn it back to OFF. Remove the key from the ignition.
• Step 5: Within 3 seconds, the power door locks should automatically cycle—locking and unlocking once—to confirm that the vehicle has entered programming mode. If the locks do not cycle, restart the procedure from Step 1.
• Step 6: Within 40 seconds, program each remote using the following method: Press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the remote simultaneously for 1.5 seconds. Release both buttons, then press and hold the LOCK button alone for 2 seconds. If the door locks cycle once, the remote has been successfully programmed. If the locks cycle twice, the programming was unsuccessful—repeat Step 6 for that remote.
• Step 7: Repeat Step 6 for each additional remote (up to four total).
• Step 8: Open the driver’s door to exit programming mode.
