Programming a Lexus LS400 Key Fob
To program a key fob for a Lexus LS400, the process typically involves using a master remote key to perform a self-programming procedure. Here are the general steps for programming a key fob for a Lexus LS400:
1. Ensure all doors, including the trunk, are closed.
– This is an important initial step to prepare for the programming process.
2. Insert the key into the ignition and pull it out.
– This action is part of the preparation for the programming process.
3. Locate the driver’s side door lock/unlock switch and press the lock then unlock the switch five times.
– This sequence is a key step in the self-programming procedure.
4. Insert the key into the ignition and switch the ignition to ON, then OFF twice.
– This step is crucial to complete the programming process.
It’s important to note that if a master key is not available, a dealer will need to program the key fob. Additionally, for specific models and years, the programming process may vary slightly, so it’s recommended to refer to the vehicle’s manual or consult a professional for accurate instructions.
If you encounter any difficulties during the programming process, it may be advisable to seek the assistance of a professional key fob installer or a Lexus dealer for programming assistance.
