2014 Toyota Prius V Smart Key Programming Instructions Keyless Entry Remote Fob

Step-by-Step Guide Important Notice: The 2014 Prius V utilizes a Smart Key System that cannot be programmed manually. Programming requires the use of specialized diagnostic tools capable of interfacing with the vehicle's onboard electronic control systems.

Programming Procedure:

  • Step 1: Ensure the vehicle is in Park, with the engine off and all doors closed. Keep only the new smart key inside the vehicle to avoid interference from previously programmed keys.
  • Step 2: Connect a certified diagnostic scan tool to the vehicle’s OBD-II port, located beneath the dashboard on the driver’s side.
  • Step 3: Press the START/STOP button twice (without pressing the brake pedal) to enter accessory mode, enabling communication between the vehicle and the diagnostic tool.
  • Step 4: Use the scan tool to access the vehicle’s immobilizer or Smart Key Control system. Select the appropriate option to begin key registration.
  • Step 5: Follow on-screen prompts to bring the new smart key fob close to the START button or a specified registration area inside the vehicle. Wait for the system to recognize the fob.
  • Step 6: Upon successful detection, the system will register the key. A confirmation signal may be provided through dashboard indicators or audible tones.
  • Step 7: Repeat the procedure to add additional keys if needed. Each key must be registered individually to ensure full functionality.
  • Step 8: After all keys are registered, disconnect the diagnostic equipment and power off the vehicle.
  • Step 9: Test each smart key to ensure it can lock/unlock the doors, start the engine, and operate the liftgate where applicable.

Additional Information:

  • The 2014 Prius V Smart Key System can store multiple key fobs; consult the owner’s manual for system capacity. If no working key is available, the vehicle may require an immobilizer reset before new keys can be added. Only compatible OEM or approved replacement keys should be used. Performing key registration in a location with minimal electronic interference helps ensure success.
