Common Problems with Programming Fobs into Prius models:
• Used or worn out Fob -
a
Check the status of the Fob trying to be programmed. • Is it new? • Was it from
another car? • Has it stopped working and now the customer wants it programmed
again? • There is a battery in it that might need replacing. • Some just wear out and
must be replaced with a new one. Brand new remote's will always program, unless
of course, there is something actually wrong with the car.
• Either one of the 2 steps did not complete successfully.
a
Have you checked to see whether the fobs were programmed into the
immobilizer system. The Security Theft is out when there is a Fob in the Learning
Slot? It may be necessary to close the immobilizer cycle manually. Put a already
programmed Fob in the Learning Slot and press the Start button 5 times ON and
Off. This should close the cycle manually. • Remember the car can hold only 4 Fobs
into memory, it may be necessary to erase if you are trying to only Add a Fob into
memory.
• The Smart Access Fobs have programmed successfully but the car
does unlock when I try from the outside.
a The "Lock Out" switch (under the steering column) has been depressed and is in
Lock Out mode.
• The Smart Access Fobs have programmed successfully but the car
will not Start unless I insert the Fob into the Learning Slot.
a Check the "Lock Out" switch (under the steering column) and see if it has been
depressed and is in Lock Out mode. Next, does the car actually have Smart Access?
If there are no Rubber Push Buttons on the front outside door handles - there is no
Smart Access on this car. Therefore there is no Proximity system, just a simple
wireless system to lock and unlock the doors. You must insert the Fob into the
Learning Slot to Start and drive the car.
• The ABS & VSC light stays on or Flashes and the car will not move.
a Follow the procedure on the next page to reset the ABS dash lights. This is
triggered when not using the correct dongle while the Pro is connected to the car.
Programming using the M dongle will NOT cause this problem.
