Remote Programming For 97-99 Lexus Es300

[kwas]

Hi All,

I purchased a used 99 ES300 a few weeks ago and have been lurking about. Thanks for all the great information.

I was trying to program an Ebay bought remote with instructions a got from this forum. I couldn't get it to work, but I got slightly different directions from a different website and I thought I'd post it here for future reference. You will notice steps 9 and 10 vary from the standard

Thanks everyone, glad to be part of the Lexus family!

1. Driver's door open and unlocked, all other doors closed and locked.

2. Insert YOUR key in ignition, DO NOT TURN, remove key.

3. Using the lock/unlock button ON THE DRIVERS DOOR, slowly press lock and unlock 5 times (count the lock 5 times and unlock 5 times).

4. Shut door.

5. Open door.

6. Using the lock/unlock button ON THE DRIVERS DOOR, slowly press lock and unlock 5 times (count the lock 5 times and unlock 5 times).

7. With the door open insert your key into the ignition, turn to on position (DON'T START), wait 5 seconds. Turn off and remove key.

8. Locks should cycle once (Car will lock and then unlock once). If they don't cycle or they cycle more than once, do steps 1-7 over.

9. Now using the remote, push lock button, hold for one second, release. The locks should cycle once. If not, start over and go slower.

10. Close the door. Open the door. Press the lock button on the remote. The locks should cycle. Close the door. Press the lock button on the remote, the doors should lock. Press again and the doors should unlock.
