NOTE:
There are 2 different methods to erase the transponder key code: using brake pedal and accelerator pedal, or using Toyota hand-held tester. All other master and sub-key codes are deleted leaving the master key code which was used when performing the operation. When using the ignition key which was used before deleting, it is necessary to register the code again.
