Toyota Sequoia remote programming for 2001 , 2002, 2003 and 2004

Remote programming instruction
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are instructions that I found here...and they worked on my 02 limited.

1. unlock all of the doors in the car, open the driver's side door, and make sure the key is not in the ignition
2. put the key into the ignition and then pull it out without turning it or anything
3. within 40 seconds, lock and then unlock the doors five times using the power lock button on the driver's side door.
4. close the door and then open it again
5. within 40 seconds lock and then unlock the doors five times again using the power lock button.
6. Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the on position (not acc and not far enough to actually start the engine) and then back to the off position, then back to on and back to off.
7. Pull the key out of the ignition
8. If you are successful, after about 5 seconds, the doors should power lock and then unlock on their own. If that doesn't happen then try again from step 1.
9. within 40 seconds, hold down the lock and unlock button simultaneously on the remote for a second. Then release and hold down the lock button for 3 seconds. The power locks should cycle again once on their own. If they don't cycle exactly once, repeat this step from the beginning with the remote again.
10. Repeat step 9 for every remote you want to program. You have to do this with any remotes that were previously programmed because this process essentially resets what remotes the car will respond to.
11. Close the driver's side door to signify that you are done programming the remotes.

[Docket No. NHTSA 2009–0143; Notice 2]



RIN 2127–AK32







Certification; Importation of Vehicles



and Equipment Subject to Federal



Safety, Bumper, and Theft Prevention



Standards; Registered Importers of



Vehicles Not Originally Manufactured



To Conform to the Federal Motor



Vehicle Safety Standards







AGENCY



:

National Highway Traffic



Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT.







ACTION



:

Final rule.



SUMMARY



:

This document amends



NHTSA’s regulations pertaining to



registered importers (‘‘RIs’’) of motor



vehicles not originally manufactured to



comply with all applicable Federal



motor vehicle safety. The agency is



amending RI application and renewal



requirements to enable the agency to



deny applications for registration from



entities that have been convicted of a



crime related to the importation,



purchase, or sale of a motor vehicle or



motor vehicle equipment and to revoke



existing registrations held by such



entities. Another amendment will



require an RI to certify that it destroyed



or exported nonconforming motor



vehicle equipment removed from a



vehicle during conformance



modifications. The agency is also



establishing new requirements for motor



vehicles imported under import



eligibility petitions, adopting a clearer



definition of the term ‘‘model year’’ for



import eligibility purposes, and



requiring that import eligibility



petitions include the type classification



and gross vehicle weight rating



(‘‘GVWR’’) of the subject vehicle. This



notice also adopts several amendments



to the RI regulations that add citations



to provisions that can be used as a basis



for the non-automatic suspension of an



RI registration, deletes redundant text



from another provision, and revises



several sections to include the agency’s



current mailing address.







DATES



:

The amendments established by



this final rule will become effective



September 26, 2011. Petitions for



reconsideration must be received by



NHTSA not later than October 11, 2011.







ADDRESSES



:

Petitions for reconsideration



of this final rule should refer to the



docket and notice numbers identified



above and should be submitted to:



Administrator, National Highway



Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New



Jersey Avenue, SE., West Building,



Washington, DC 20590. It is requested,



but not required, that 10 copies of the



petition be submitted. The petition must



be received not later than 45 days after



publication of this final rule in the







Federal Register





. Petitions filed after



that time will be considered petitions



filed by interested persons to initiate



rulemaking pursuant to 49 U.S.C.



Chapter 301.



The petition must contain a brief



statement of the complaint and an



explanation as to why compliance with



the final rule is not practicable, is



unreasonable, or is not in the public



interest. Unless otherwise specified in



the final rule, the statement and



explanation together may not exceed 15



pages in length, but necessary



attachments may be appended to the



submission without regard to the 15-



page limit. If it is requested that



additional facts be considered, the



petitioner must state the reason why



they were not presented to the



Administrator within the prescribed



time. The Administrator does not



consider repetitious petitions and



unless the Administrator otherwise



provides, the filing of a petition does



not stay the effectiveness of the final



rule.

I. Background of This Rulemaking



Action









A. The 1968 Importation Regulations



and the Imported Vehicle Safety



Compliance Act of 1988









The National Traffic and Motor



Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 as amended



(‘‘the Safety Act’’), now codified at 49



U.S.C. chapter 301, requires imported



vehicles to meet Federal motor vehicle



safety standards (‘‘FMVSS’’). Effective



January 10, 1968, a regulation jointly



issued by NHTSA and the United States



Customs Service (‘‘Customs’’), 19 CFR



12.80, allowed permanent importation



of motor vehicles not originally



manufactured to meet applicable



FMVSS if, within 120 days from the



date of entry, the importer demonstrated



that the vehicle had been brought into



compliance with those standards.



The Imported Vehicle Safety



Compliance Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 100–



562, ‘‘the 1988 Act’’), which became



effective on January 31, 1990, limited



the importation of vehicles that did not



comply with the FMVSS to those



capable of being modified to comply. To



enhance oversight, the 1988 Act



required that necessary modifications be



performed by ‘‘registered importers’’



(‘‘RIs’’). RIs are business entities that



have demonstrated to NHTSA that they



are technically and financially capable



of importing nonconforming motor



vehicles and of performing the



necessary modifications on those



vehicles so that they conform to all

Agreements between automobile manufacturers and dealerships prohibiting export of new automobiles

Agreements between automobile manufacturers and dealerships prohibiting export of

new automobiles.

3. Automobile manufacturers, including Mercedes Benz, General Motors, Toyota,

Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche, have long-standing contractual agreements with their dealerships

that new automobiles made for sale inside the United States may not be sold to individuals or

companies intending to export the new automobiles outside the United States

4. Automobile manufacturers impose this prohibition on not exporting new automobiles

because unauthorized exports of their new automobiles cause numerous financial problems to the

manufacturers by creating problems in the manufacturers’ distribution markets, causing market

infringement problems, harming franchise dealerships, and causing problems relating to vehicle

recall registration and service.

5. The contractual agreements between automobile manufacturers and dealerships carry

monetary penalties, commonly called “charge backs,” which automobile manufacturers may assess

against dealerships if the manufacturers determine that dealerships are selling new automobiles to

purchasers who intend to export them rather than use them in the United States.

6. In order to determine whether new automobiles are being exported in violation of

these contractual agreements, automobile manufacturers monitor export documents and records at

ports throughout the United States. Automobile manufacturers hire a company, PIERS, a division

of UBM Global Trade, Inc., to collect such documents and records, in part so that the manufacturers

can determine whether new automobiles are being exported in violation of their agreements with

dealerships not to do so.

7. Automobile manufacturers have assessed monetary and other penalties against

automobile dealerships, including those listed above in paragraph 3, when the manufacturers

determine that the dealerships have sold new automobiles which were exported directly from the

United States.

8. Many dealerships, in order to avoid penalties under their contractual agreements with

manufacturers not to sell new automobiles which will be exported, take additional steps in dealing

with customers to obtain assurances from customers that the customers are not going to export the

new automobiles. These additional steps sometimes require that purchasers of automobiles sign

statements, commonly called “do not export agreements,” that they do not intend to export the new

automobiles after purchasing them.
