2014 Toyota Tundra Smart Key Remote Fob Programming Guide

Important Notice: The 2014 Toyota Tundra does not support onboard programming for smart key or remote head key fobs. All programming must be performed using professional-grade diagnostic tools by a qualified technician. There is no manual or do-it-yourself procedure available for this model.

Programming Requirements

  • Step 1: Identify Your Key Type Your vehicle may use one of the following types of keys: Remote Head Key – A mechanical ignition key with integrated remote buttons. Smart Key Fob – A proximity-based remote used with push-button start ignition systems. Both types require programming through the vehicle’s onboard systems using dealer-level equipment.
  • Step 2: Arrange Programming with a Qualified Automotive Technician A certified technician will need to: Connect a diagnostic scan tool to the vehicle’s OBD-II port. Access the Body Control Module (BCM) and immobilizer system to register the new key fob. Pair the fob so it functions with the vehicle’s locking, security, and ignition systems.
  • Step 3: Prepare for the Programming Appointment To ensure a successful session, be sure to: Bring all remotes that you want to continue using. In many cases, the vehicle will erase all previous remotes during programming, so they must be re-added. Carry proof of vehicle ownership, such as the title or registration, particularly if no working remotes are available. Install fresh batteries in any new or existing remotes to avoid pairing failure.

Additional Considerations Remote Limit:

  • The system typically supports up to four remote fobs at one time. Exceeding this limit may require deletion of an existing fob. No Working Remotes? If all keys are lost, additional steps such as immobilizer reset may be required, potentially increasing cost and time. System Compatibility: These instructions apply to vehicles with factory-installed keyless entry systems only. Aftermarket systems require different procedures. Test After Programming: Always verify that each function—lock, unlock, panic alarm, and push-button start (if equipped)—operates correctly after programming.
