Procedure To Reinstate My Spare Master Key Which Has Lost Its Code

March 24, 2010

I have a 2001 avensis vermont automatic 1.8 vvti. My master ignition key unlock rubber button has broke off and i want to use my spare black master key.

My problem is that although the spare key locks and unlocks the doors it will not start the engine,which starts immediately when i use my old master key.

Does anyone know the procedure to enable my spare key to talk to the ecu as it seems that not being used since i puchased the car 9 years ago it has lost its

code.

I would very much appreciate it if anyone can help me.

Hi,

If you find this does not work for you, please advise & I can give you the procedure that worked for me. The above never worked, as I'm sure the procedure above is for cars up to 2000 only.

I have tried many times using the method that marama32 suggested(for which i thank him very much) but unfortunately the method does not seem to work on my car.So i would appreciate it if you let me know the method that you use Marv. Thanks in advance.
