Smart Key Remote Fob Programming Instructions for the 2017 Toyota Mirai

Important Notice: The 2017 Toyota Mirai does not support onboard or manual programming for smart key remote fobs. All programming must be performed by a qualified automotive technician using specialized diagnostic equipment.

Programming Procedure:

  • Step 1: Arrange an appointment with a certified technician who has access to the proper tools and software required to program smart key systems.
  • Step 2: Verify that the technician is experienced with electronic key systems and is familiar with hydrogen fuel cell vehicle technologies like those used in the Mirai.
  • Step 3: If your vehicle is in working condition, consider driving it to the technician’s location. This may reduce additional fees often associated with mobile service.
  • Step 4: Bring all current smart key remotes to the appointment. In some cases, the system may require all remotes to be present for successful reprogramming.
  • Step 5: The technician will connect diagnostic equipment to the vehicle’s onboard interface using the OBD-II port to initiate the programming process.
  • Step 6: The new smart key remote will be securely registered with your vehicle’s control system using manufacturer-authorized software.
  • Step 7: If any previously programmed remotes are no longer in use or have been lost, they may be removed from the system to maintain vehicle security.
  • Step 8: Once programming is complete, the technician will test the smart key to ensure all features—such as remote locking, unlocking, and push-button start—function correctly.
  • Step 9: The technician may provide information about how many remotes the system supports and whether additional keys can be added later.
  • Step 10: After confirming successful operation, store backup remotes safely and keep a record of the programming session for future reference.

Additional Recommendations:

  • If no working remotes are available, you may need to present proof of ownership, such as a vehicle title or registration. Test your smart key functions regularly and replace the battery as needed. Maintain at least one backup key in a secure location to avoid lockout situations.
