Good morning,

When you go from one car to another with the ignition, the key and ECM must be working together for the security.

I posted the process below for registering the key.

Roy

1. KEY REGISTRATION IN AUTOMATIC REGISTRATION MODE
a. Registration of a new transponder key.

HINT:
This must be done when you have installed a new ECM.
The new ECM is in the automatic key code registration mode. The already fixed number of key codes for this ECM can be registered.
On this type of vehicle, up to 4 key codes can be registered.
In the automatic registration mode, the last key registered becomes sub-key.

HINT:
When a key is not inserted in the key cylinder in the automatic registration mode, the security indicator always lights on.
When the immobilizer system operations normally and the key is pull out, the security indicator blinks.
When key code registration could not be performed in the automatic registration mode, code 2-1 is output from the security indicator and when inserting the already registered key, code 2-2 is output.

B. Automatic registration mode completion
If completing the mode forcibly when more than 1 key code have been registered in the automatic registration mode, perform the following procedures.
After 1 more key code have been registered with master key, perform step (1) or (2) without pulling the key out or inserting the already registered key.
1. Depress and release brake pedal 5 times or more within 15 secs.
2. With the hand-held tester, require automatic registration mode completion.

2. REGISTRATION OF ADDITIONAL MASTER KEY
There are 2 ways for registration of additional master key, one is depressing brake pedal and acceleration pedal and the other is using hand-held tester.

HINT:
It is possible to register up to 7 master key codes including the already registered key code.
When any operation time described below is over, registration mode completes.
When the next procedure is performed while the timer is working, the timer completes counting time, then next timer starts.

3. REGISTRATION ADDITIONAL OF SUB-KEY
There are 2 ways for registration of additional sub-key, one is depressing brake pedal and acceleration pedal and the other is using hand-held tester.

HINT:
It is possible top register up to 3 sub-key codes including the already registered key code.
When any operation time described below is over, registration mode completes.
When the next procedure is performed while the timer is working, the timer completes counting time, then next timer starts.

4. ERASURE OF TRANSPONDER KEY CODE
There are 2 ways for erasure of transponder key code, one is depressing brake pedal and acceleration pedal and the other is using hand-held tester.

NOTE: All other master and sub-key codes are deleted leaving the master key code to use the operation. When using the key which was used before deleting, it is necessary to register the code again.

HINT:
When any operation time described below is over, registration mode completes.
When the next procedure is performed while the timer is working, the timer completes counting time, then next timer starts.

1. Depressing brake pedal and acceleration pedal:

HINT: When the key cannot be pulled out in the step 4, key code deletion is canceled. (Security indicator is OFF)
