BULLETIN
April 9, 1999

This bulletin describes the procedures that are used to program the two±button remote
control for vehicles that are equipped with the dealer or port installed option (PIO), not
the factory security system. For factory security system remote control programming,
refer to the appropriate vehicle repair manual.
Verification of the dealer or PIO Toyota VIP can easily be performed by identifying the

Starting with 1998 MY, the remote controls for the RS3000 System were revised with new
coding logics. The color of the remote control cases was changed from Black to Gray to
help identify the new remote controls. The new (Gray) remote controls will not work with
the RS3000 ECU's produced prior to 1998 MY. The old (Black) remote controls are still
available for Service Parts.
NOTE:
The TVIP is programmed to operate with the two remote controls that come with the
vehicle. The ECU (computer) can be programmed to operate with up to four different
remote controls. For customer satisfaction, request that any existing remote be
furnished when programming a new or replacement unit.

Technical Service
BULLETIN
April 14, 2000

As a convenience feature, the RS3000 TVIP system is programmed to automatically lock
all of the vehicle's doors (for vehicles equipped with power door locks) when the ignition
key is turned to ªONº or ªSTARTº, and unlock them when the key is turned back to ªACCº
or ªLOCKº. The initial factory setting of this programmable feature is ªONº. For some
customers however, this feature is not desirable due to instances of passenger lockout
when the driver enters the vehicle first and starts the ignition.
For vehicles equipped with RS3000 TVIP, this bulletin advises the dealers to
communicate the following information to the customers at vehicle delivery:
1. Inform the customers of the RS3000 system's automatic (ignition controlled) door
lock/unlock feature.
2. Inquire about the customers' preference for it to be set ªONº or ªOFFº.
3. Reprogram the feature's setting according to the customer's preference.
To change the feature's operation mode, follow the programming procedures on page 2.
Verification of the Dealer±Installed Option (DIO) or Port±Installed Option (PIO) RS3000
TVIP System can easily be performed by identifying the status monitor and remote
transmitter.
The remote transmitter has two
buttons, Top and Bottom.The status monitor has a Toyota label,
