2022 Toyota 4Runner Smart Key Remote Fob Programming Guide

Important Notice: The 2022 Toyota 4Runner does not support onboard programming for smart key remote fobs. Programming must be performed by a qualified automotive technician using specialized diagnostic tools.

Programming Procedure:

• Step 1: Contact a Certified Automotive Technician Locate a technician or service provider experienced in advanced keyless entry systems. Confirm they have the proper tools to program smart key fobs for your vehicle.
• Step 2: Identify the Ignition System Determine whether your vehicle uses a push-button start system. This will help the technician select the appropriate programming equipment and procedure.
• Step 3: Schedule a Programming Appointment After identifying the ignition type, set up an appointment with a technician qualified to perform key fob programming for your system.
• Step 4: Prepare Proof of Ownership If no functioning remotes are available, you may be asked to provide ownership documentation—such as a title or registration—before the programming process can begin.
• Step 5: Technician Performs Programming During the appointment, the technician will connect specialized diagnostic equipment to the vehicle’s onboard system to register and activate the new smart key fob.
• Step 6: Test Key Fob Functions After programming is complete, verify that all functions—lock, unlock, panic, and engine start (if equipped)—are working properly.

Additional Considerations:

• Bring All Remotes to the Appointment: Some systems may require reprogramming of all remotes at once. Work with a Technician Familiar with Smart Key Systems: Proper programming relies on accurate tools and knowledgeable service.
