Well turns out the working key is a Valet key the old key that used to be the master doesn’t work with the new ecu. So it appears I’m SOL without a dealer or locksmith that can reprogram key?

How would I enter programming mode and turn the FOB into another master?

Follow up. I ordered a new ecu from Flagship One who will preprogram it to your VIN. Took about 2 weeks to arrive but when it finally did I installed it and the car started right up runs great. No codes. Here’s the rub though. I have two keys one is just a key Toyota branded but no buttons. The...

The check engine light does illuminate when key is in on position. I think I may have introduced a red herring by mentioning the battery at all. I was just trying to lay out all the facts. I believe the battery going dead was just a result of trying to turn it over too many times who knows how...

I think I may have introduced a red herring by mentioning the battery at all. I was just trying to lay out all the facts. I believe the battery going dead was just a result of trying to turn it over too many times who knows how long my wife cranked it before she came into the house to tell me it...

Trunk Monkey, To be clear I wasn’t running it off the charger, I put it on high amp fast charge while I ate dinner and an hour later switched it to trickle where I left it overnight. Either way the battery was back awake when I was doing further troubleshooting and this morning it’s fully...

It cranked fine it only became sluggish after repeated long start attempts. I think running the battery low followed by it sitting all day at 30 degrees is why it was more dead when I got home to continue troubleshooting. Battery is still on charger but charged back up now. It will now crank...

My wife’s 2002 LC drove fine all weekend we took it on an over an hour each way trip on Saturday and she took it to the grocery store yesterday. No issues, no lights, ran great. This morning it would not start when she went to leave for work. It would crank but not even attempt to fire. My OBD...

I looked through the sub menus the other day and did not find ABS but you are correct it was there. Unfortunately lights off by the time the car was back home and reader shows no stored DTC for ABS system. This picture shows disconnected hose. Vehicle has been driven 116 miles so far without CEL...

This picture was from Monday, CEL has not come back. Was a P0440 code and it had been tripped for a while. I found a hose fallen off in the evap system and reconnected while I was poking around under the hood. My obd2 reader gave me no other codes or faults but I do not believe it can read ABS...

2002 Land Cruiser 4.7. On Monday on my wife’s way to work the dash lit up with ABS, TRAC, VSC TRAC, VSC OFF, and Brake lights. Never mind the check engine light that’s a separate issue that I actually found when trying to trouble shoot the other lights. Anyway had her turn around and come home...
