Remote control fob stopped working LS430

[Shiner]

A couple of days ago, my fob stopped communicating with car. Had to lock it mechanically using the key.

searched this forum and found a thread back in 2014 and followed the procedure described by Steve. No joy....

Found this link on the internet  http://www.lowratelocksmith.com/automotive/remote-key-fob-programming/lexus-ls430/

tried the procedure for 2003 LS430. It appeared to have had worked except no response whether the code was registered or registration failed.

Anyway, on my return from my journey, I was about to lock the car mechaniclyy, but decided to gove the remote function to lock another go. Hey presto success.

Checked the two spare keys and they all work. Saved a trip to my Indy, Japex, or worse to Lexus dealer.

 

might be worth keeping the above link in your bookmarks.

I should have mentioned, changing battery was the first thing I did. I keep a couple of them in the car. Normally I change them on Boxing Day....
