S14KOUKI Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I just bought a 93 es300 and it has SEC on the screen, just wondering if someone can help me out with steps on how to enter the code and if theres a master code or something to reset it. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toysrme Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I never even knew it had a security code. God knows I pulled the battery out of the car enough times to have needed one. Dude just go to a dealer. They do that kind of *BLEEP* for free like any other dealer does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or call a stealer for directions. Good Luck! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the keycode from the Lexus dealer that I purchased the car from. He looked it up on some database. It's pretty easy to reset, but best to have the directions in front of you while you do it. I can never remember all the "push this, hold these buttons while you press that..." sequence. I can scan the pertinent pages from my owner's manual & post them if you don't have a manual. One more thing - you get a total of 9 incorrect tries to reset. On number 10 wrong entry, the unit locks up & must be sent to Lexus for re-programmming. So no button-mashing or guessing at the code or could be SOL! tck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedCobra Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Hi guys, sorry to bring this topic back, but I was wondering if someone could post the sequence on how to punch in the code. I have my code, just don't remember how to punch it in and I don't have the owner's manual to look it up. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
