On Camry models produced before January 2003, RAV4, Sequoia and Sienna, up to 3 ignition key identification codes may be registered in the ECM at one time.

For Camry models produced after January 2003 and 4Runner, the registration order is not specified because the transponder key ECU can distinguish keys types. On Land Cruiser, master and sub-key codes are registered automatically.
