I have tried to program the remote and have not been successful. I have tried several ways even looking at youtube and going to the box in my trunk ,taking my glove box out and locating the ECU and there is no button to push as the directions i got with the FOB (My ECU does not look like the picture on instructions #1 but the security light #2 does . I believe it is a Dealer put in security system . As i bought out a coworkers lease at 45K 1998 and he bought it new I work part time at a large auto auction in SC and they have a locksmith on site to make keys and key fobs for repo cars ect. and he went into my OBD and his machine only goes back to 2005 . Took it to local Toyota dealer cost was $98 if they could do it no luck did not charge me any help I have 1 FOB still working Thanks Norm

I have tried that several times my FOB only has the top button to push the bottom one does nothing I will go back and try try again . Wish i could post a picture of my Fob and the one i got looks the same also a picture of the security light system
I gave up and sent the fob back i work at a auto auction part time and the locksmith there connected his program computer to my OBD and it only goes back to 2005 and mine is 96 My local Toyota dealer wanted $98 to do it and asked them how they would do it and they said through the OBD told them i had a locksmith try and they said they probably could not do it also

You either have a non valid remote - OR - an aftermarket alarm system! **Hands-on** inspection will be required.
I tried to post pictures of what i have but don’t know how i would need a e mail address to send them Thanks Norm (Mrnavy)
