Afternoon all,
I recently bought a 98 celica sx. When I purchased it, the remote for the keyless entry didn't open the doors, or activate the alarm, the central locking still works fine thought.
I had head from another forums that in other cars you have to re-program the remote.
So I was wondering if this is correct for the celica model too, and if anyone knew how to do it?

Is it a Toyota keyless entry, or an aftermarket? The Toyota will have the Toyota logo on the fob, an aftermarket won't.
Its a toyota one, has the toyota badgings on it
Hmmm...you could try calling Toyota Customer Care or go to their web site. You'll need some info such as VIN and reg number. They may not help you on-line or over the phone, since they might think you are trying to steal the car!
Or go to a Toyota dealer or an alarm specialist...
Thanks Hachiroku,
Probably going to take it to a auto repair place my boss recomended, near where I work.
Just was hoping I didn't have to. (>
This is a pretty tough problem unless qslim or someone closer to the situation can help you, but like I said, people are afraid in helping you rip off a car!
Same thing for getting a key made. Have to go in with license/owner and registration!
Quick update time
Took the car to a toyota service centre, and they said it was the remote and that it would cost me $114 for the remote and that was it . I then goto pick it up at 1, and its still in the workshop, they ask to keep it until 4. A little bit before 4, i get a call and guess what, its the ecu. Somehow it's been fried and i need a new one. $240 + labour later >
